2011 XDC Round 1. Irwindale CA. Top 10 Photos!
Chelsea DeNofa and Joshua Steele Celebrate Podium Finishes. 1st and 4th.
The 2011 Xtreme Drift Circuit kicked off with a big bang at the Irwindale House of Drift, March 11/12, 2011. NonStopTuning made the west coast trip with three cars and was the only team to finish in the top8 with each of its cars!
Chelsea DeNofa, on the heels of his 2010 XDC championship, “got rowdy” early and showed the rest of the field he meant business by grabbing the number 1 qualifying spot, battling through numerous “one more times,” and taking out some amazing drivers to finish as the event winner.
Will Parsons, in his freshly swapped and turbocharged F20, put on his best performance in the XDC by putting up the highest MPH through the course, qualifying higher (6th) than any other Toyota in the field, and finishing in the top eight.
Joshua Steele was consistent as ever in his newly wrapped Nissan S13.4 and earned his best XDC finish to date, by qualifying 10th and finishing the event on the podium as the number four finisher.
Follow along here for our top ten favorite photos from round one, in no particular order, and check out the official XDC top 16 bracket at the end of this entry…

2010 NST Driver Q&A: Aaron Losey
Over the next few weeks we will bring you a new series called, 2010 NST Driver Q&A. This session is with our good friend, and 2010 NST Driver, Aaron Losey. Aaron is one of the oldest Texas drifters (one of the early adopters of the LS1 swap into an S chasis) and has a great deal of experience in drift series such as XDC, D1 USA, and NOPI. Enjoy!

How long have you been driving? What types of competitive driving? How long have you been a drifter?
I have been drifting since 2004, after my wife took me to watch a Formula D event in Houston for my birthday. I had a blast and the sport looked approachable and really fun, so that week I went out and picked up an e36 M3 to drift at an upcoming Daily Drifter event. Before all that I had a shifter kart, a trail jeep, and an Evo 8 I was planning to rally that was being used for auto-x. I rode a bunch of motorcycles including my ZX-10.
What was the first car you ever bought? Why did you choose that car and how long did you own it?
First car I ever purchased was my 1993 Jeep Wrangler. I still have it, and it is a beast. That was back in 1998 I think.
Tell us about your current drift car and its setup? Future plans for the car?
My current drift car is a built S13 with a V8. The car is fun, and has seen its share of abuse. The car has been around for ever, and will probably be aroundnfor a lot longer. It should be dragged out back and shot though. I love her though: )
