My Set of Pics from the Redbull Drifting Competition
It was a stellar event with talent from around the globe. The best drivers where challenged with the battle for the crown at the Port of Long Beach. Yes, I said port of Long Beach. A purposebuilt track along the shoreline which allowed drivers to hit speeds in the triple digits.
– Rhys Millen won the title of “World Champion” at the inaugural Red Bull Drifting World Championship. History was made with the top drifters from around the world competing for the largest prize purse in drifting history at the Port of Long Beach.
17 past and present drifting champions from the top drifting organizations in the world gathered in Long Beach, CA for the first Red Bull Drifting World Championship. First place qualifier Rhys Millen and his Red Bull Pontiac Solstice outperformed the competition to win the largest single prize of $25,000 in drifting history. Teammate Daijiro Yoshihara and his Bridgestone / RMR Pontiac GTO took home the 2nd place prize of $15,000 and the 2007 and 2008 Formula DRIFT champion, Tanner Foust and the Rockstar / AEM Nissan 350Z took home 3rd place overall and $10,000
It was a pleasure shooting with Edwin "the P Shooter" and Ray.
Here was parking at the Long Beach Convention Center
As you can tell due to the fires everywhere in So Cal....ash everywhere
