Default Formula Drift Long Beach On Track Coverage

I covered Formula Drift Round 1 Streets of Long Beach over this past weekend on both Friday & Saturday and I snapped up over 16 gigs of images. I posted up about 200 of them on 3 different entries below and I posted a few of the highlights from each.

Friday Qualifying:

Here are some previews for day 2. Day 2 was full of action but now I have over 1000 RAW files to look at and I am exhausted from the last two days. Stay tuned for the complete event coverage

that was definitely what i was seeing too... especially when a couple of these "1 more time battles" didn't need to happen.. and 1 of which resulted in the crash of the corvette.

^ I almost cried when that Corvette ate it..... I agree though, way too many "one more time" crap. Cheston, what did they say caused it? Just too close to the tire wall?

the pontiac iniated late, so Conrad who cant see anything from the smoke, initated late as well. solstice barely hit the tire wall and was able to squeak on by, but corvettes a little pudgy and couldnt turn in on time and just went in.

steering rack/radiator, toe linkage, and of course aero kit were damaged... hopefully will be able to turn it around by friday.. but.. i duno..



but on a happier note.. CONGRATS TO MR.B, aka Brian aka City Tire Online for qualifying top 32 and going to the big show their first time out!!! (red Kallusive Z with white Gram Lights).. you might have remembered him with the top secret body kit, varis goodies, big endless puma on the side and gold Jlines a few years back....

when these "suit" drivers drive dirty, the judges are trying to compensate. sick of the dirty brake checks on the lines. Drifting is a exhibition sport, either win in style or crash.
