Well luckily it turned out that there was plenty of drifting to be seen, just the main feature this weekend was sprint racing on the west (nishi) course. You could have fooled me though, this place is so crazy about drifting, 5 separate courses had drifting going on all day FIVE COURSES!!!
total, Ebisu has:
Ebisu south (famous D1 track)
Ebisu north (tight switchbacks, big elevation change, long uphill straightwaway)
Ebisu west (sprint/time-trial type track, pretty large)
Ebisu east (ditto but more elevation, video of the orange the FD, insane 120mph entry)
Ebisu neo-ridge (aka Ebisu touge course) designed to be like actual mountain roads
Ebisu drift school course (square in the middle of all the tracks)
Ebisu drift park course
Kuru kuru park (basically a skidpad)
Oh and a 200m drag strip next to Ebisu-west
Seven real tracks or 9 if you count skidpad and 200m....
Um, this place rules

My friend Neal and I booked out of the rest stop meeting place in his Laurel just as it looked like these two crazy badass FD RX7's were about to do it up. Sure enough they showed us how they do....
