and they are coming to Fontana December 18-19 to challenge all comers.
Though we have an autocross on the 18th, I plan on hooking it up there afterwards to see the race. Here is some more info:
GT Live will take place December 18 & 19, 2004 at California Speedway in Fontana, California. The main attraction will be the JGTC 2004 All-Star show, featuring at least 20 top cars invited from Japan, as well as local entries. This All-Star show will feature the first-ever JGTC night race, The JGTC ALL-STAR 200 on Saturday the 18th and two 24-minute sprint races on Sunday the 19th called JGTC ALL-STAR SPRINTS. As if that were not enough to get you excited, we have also joined forces with D1 to present you the D1 GP US vs. Japan Pro Drifting Exhibition. And there is Formula D on Saturday, as well as a new drifting format called Xtreme Drifting League (XDL). The XDL runs complete laps and has no judging. It will also feature innovations such as sedan and truck drifting. As you can tell, GT Live is the biggest event of its kind.
But we are not done yet. For the tuner freaks we’ll have a tuner time attack and the Turbo High-Tech Performance dyno challenge. If you’d like to experience the thrill of getting a ride with a race car driver, we’ve set aside 4 hours of track time just for that. And if participation is more your thing then we can offer you a whole bunch more too. You can drive your own car in the GT Autocross, drive production cars in the GT Ride & Drive, drive a go-kart, drive an RC car enter in the Super Street car show in the garage area, get into the Car Audio & Electronics audio challenge, display your car with your car club and participate in the fan lap.
Not to forget, you can meet all the JGTC, D1, Formula D, XDL and Time Attack drivers for autographs and photos, and you can hang with the race queens during our JGTC Pit Walk, podium ceremonies or even the pre-grid activities. And, since it is the weekend before Christmas we made sure you would have plenty of shopping in our exhibitor’s area.

It may not be fast, but it can be fun. Of course, I thought the GT racing series was a real race, not a drifting series? Isn't it their version of Austrailian V8 supercars or Nascar with left and right turns?
