Even Though no one was "invited" I'd like to look at it this way.

A little over one year ago they held the first drift showoff at irwindale speedway - I was there. At that event there were local drivers and the pros just like we had here. As a whole the drifting I saw from the locals was WAY better here than it was at the event in california. A year later many of those locals are now considered pro - I'd expect nothing less will happen here!
