NST At D1GP USA Round 1. Saturday Top 16.

NST Drifter Will Parsons put on a GREAT performance this weekend at the first round of the D1GP, in Anaheim California. As the only AE86 Corolla in attendance, Will put on a great show and was a big crowd favorite with the SoCal fans.

Will made it into the round of Top16 Saturday and was paired up against Daigo Saito, the 2008 D1GP season champion. Will had a very solid run and made no mistakes following Daigo, but the 500+ horsepower advantage of Daigo's Chaser was just too much for the little Corolla to overcome. Daigo stayed very close to Will while chasing, and made the run a very exciting one for the fans.

Many thanks to all our SoCal fans who cheered us on during round 1.
We hope to see a lot of you out in Florida for round 2 at the end of May.
