Pics of Formula Drift at Infineon and Long Beach CA 4/18/09

There are a few shots of a team drifting event at Long Beach CA on page 2.

The event was a lot of fun, here are some photos.







This was the battle for 1st and 2nd below.








In the Pits




Pros
-amazing performance and sound of the vehicles.
-definitely a spectators sport- cars, smoke, donuts, noise, girls, awesomeness. Edge of your seat goodness.
-touring the pits was pretty neat, and they gave me a bunch of free but mostly useless stuff.

Cons
-mid day, taking photos was a challenge because the shadows were so sharp, and it was pretty warm out.
-the fence protecting the crowd was ruining the photos too.

quick bits.
-Quickest entry speed was just under 100mph
-2 front bumpers broken off, and at least one kiss of the wall, quite a few spin outs.
-Winner was Tanner Foust

Ew, Formula-D spec cars. ****ty ride height, no style. Just my opinion. Love drifting, but eh. Nice pics though. Love the Vertex Lang S14.
