Hey I was just checking out the NICO events calender for '06 and noticed they have the '06 schedule for formula D posted through the months. 2 questions, first how did they get that schedule since it's not even up at the Official Formula D website yet? Second, no mention of them being in the NE this year, the closest they get is Atlanta Speedway in GA. The turnout and behavior at the Wall NJ Speedway last season was phenominal, the house was practically packed despite the cold and I didnt witness any misbehavior and I was there from the time the doors opened until about 30 minutes after the awards ceremony. What gives here, does anyone know if they'll be up this way again this year or can they not find a suitable raceway/get permission? Just wondering if anyone knows anything , it'd be great to go to another professional drift event without haveing to fly or drive for 6+ hours to get there.

i was at the press release at SEMA for FD and they said they would be at the wall again i believe. they did release a tenative schedule but not publically only to those at the press conference.

dont get too dissappointed yet, wait till FD says so not what NICO has on the calender =)

Thanks guys, I was worried that they didn't want to or couldn't come back to Wall NJ this season. And it's the end of summer to which means temperatures will be MUCH warmer this season then they were in '05. Damn near froze the nuticles off at Wall last year, but I got a hellacious sunburn on my face and head.
