Just a preview for those going this morning to FormulaD. Dress for hot weather, bring sun glasses, hat, and sun screen because it will be hot!
This is the most activity/activities I've seen at a drift event. (This looks like an HIN Event with drifting.) I'd type more but it's late. See some of you tomorrow.

I am... completely.. and utterly.. toasted by the sun. Even though I got burned (yes I used sunscreen) it was pretty fun for my first VIP event :) Can't wait to see more pictures of the event. Good times!

i heard it got top ten but when it lost, it got owned :gun:

well. not really.


the tc was in top ten from qualifying. 7th i believe. i forgot who it raced in the top 16 tandem battle but it lost by 3 points. gushi drove well but there was a point between the first and second turn that the tC fell behind, thus leading to his failure.

the mustang and the vette were MONSTERS!!!

ChelsDS
04-13-2008, 06:26 AM
That mustang and vette.. were so awesome. Also that small white coupe. Forget what it is, I'm tired. Those three were freakin awesome :) Anyone know if there are any racing events where they do a full track drifting?? I was hoping it would be like that today.

1OWNAGE
04-13-2008, 06:29 AM
same here. but free is free. hahahaha. i was so happy i came out today.

that white coupe, are you talking about the pontiac or the rx-7?

ChelsDS
04-13-2008, 06:38 AM
I think the Pontiac.

Also I'm not griping that it was free :) Just wishing to have seen more racing! First Drifting event and now I'm hooked. I require more drifting!

yeah. me too. no one sat in their seats in the grandstands. our seats were like, just that ONE turn in the middle then we had to watch the screen for the rest. but overall, GREAT JOB AGAIN BY SCION CORP!!

lol. no griping at all WHATSOEVER. i'm just happy it was free.

^^Section 23 = best seats to watch the event in for future reference. I didn't even use my VIP seating area (21). On section 23, you see the whole track + the hairpin & everything. :)

lucky. is that the one on the other side of the giant screen?

Dam, with drift pics like that I am not sure if I even want to post mine :) Bastard! All I got was really, really clear chain link fence photos :)

Were you ale to change your position for diff. angles?

Yessur. The seats over the Imperial bridge. Everyone thinks they're crappy seats since they're such farther of a walk but you can almost see the entire track from there. It's way cooler on that side, too, since it's closer to the water & you catch a nice breeze, too. :)

Damn those are some nice pix. Can I apply for a scionlife press pass for the next one, haha. Blurring a chainlink fence just makes it fuzzy.....

I see your problem. you will get slapped if you say you are Kibble Qpinto. But if you say you KNOW (not that you are), you will have all your lustful fantasies fulfilled. And they'll even thank you the next day.

Thank you. You can always apply and see what they say. I haven't seen other pics yet. Damn boss is overworking me.
