FORMULA D, this Saturday, the 12th

[1five10]

Don't forget about FORMULA D in Long Beach this Saturday, the 12th. Should be fun and exciting. I was there today for the MEDIA DAY of Formula D and the Grand Prix. They also had the drivers for the Celebrity Race there running their Scion TC's around. The drifting is what drew the most oooohs and aaaaahs from the spectators. Here's some pics...

[1five10]

Today is open practice and qualifying for tomorrow. It's not open to the public today, but I'm sure you can catch some action off of the grandstands on Shoreline Drive. Just park and walk down.

I know last year a bunch of people got to watch for free all day long. I'm going just to see all the crashes...lol

[s14_legend]

looks good...i parked and watched last year...who doesnt love crashes =)

*oh snaps, Rob as GM, that's gonna be gnarly. So is he gonna like talk instead of that other guy who says that everything is gangster, brought to you by shark energy drink? probably not.

[ALEXTHESUS*PECT]

I'm going down to pick up my media credentials on friday and on saturday i should be there around 10am if i don't get distracted by photogenic hot women....

if you don't come back and post pics of hot girls there then don;t ever post on here again!:ugh:

[eulalia]

bump for tomarrow..

remember anyone that wants to join the caravan to there, its at 9am tomarrow at autoback

[DRIFTING_SIL_EIGHTY]

pass by the HKS booth. we have a new dickies jacket now. maybe ill be nice and give you a free water if you do the chicken dance. haha. im bored

[worangejuice]

I think I;m just gonna head on down and pay at the door, it's actually cheaper w/o the convenience charge. Also you usually have to wait longer at the will call.

[Drift N Dragg]

I got my tickets a month ago.. For sure I am gonna be there!

[krzy]

For those of you in SD, we will be meeting at Ikea 8:00AM. There's a McDonald's in the plaza in case anybody wants breakfast before we caravan up to the event.

[marcencar]

[HillaBean13]

it was awesome except for the heat it was sooo hot it was ridiculous and very unbearable but the event was awesomee!!!

[usdm180sx]

I was there for a little while. Parked for free thanks to a friend who works at the Hyatt, got in for free thanks to a hookup, checked out the vendor booths for about an hour then went home because the stomach flu pwns me =(

Ain't no way in hell I'll pay for whacked ass formula d. Did that once and vowed I'd never pay again

[boogerlovers]

it wasnt that great...the girls were sticks and the two hour wait between the 32 and top 16...that shit was ridiculous, not to mention the damn sunburn :Ownedd:

[Portuguese Bend]

If you go these often enough, you learn to always wear sunscreen even on cloudy days.

Got ridiculous sunburn in December at GT Live (JGTC) once. :hammer:

[eulalia]

it wasnt that great...the girls were sticks and the two hour wait between the 32 and top 16...that shit was ridiculous, not to mention the damn sunburn :Ownedd:

yeah me and my girl left after the 32, i was not going to wait 2 and half hours..

plus all you can see is like 2 turns out of the whole track

irwindale was way better, its at night, can see the whole track, and more crashes!!! lol

[CrimsonRockett]

Seriously.

I wanted to go home, but I just stuck through with it.

Visited ASpec's booth and grabbed me a few things.

I'm happy.

:D

[s14_legend]

yeah almost close to last year it aint that great...thankfully i didnt have to pay

[groovin_azn]

nice! u got a shot of me peeling the graphics off the Z. so embarrassing haha

[eulalia]

i know theres "media passes" that you get through companies (just a guess)

but how can you get really bad ass seats anyone have connections, id be down to pay good money, i just want close to baller seats next year or for the next d1?

arg agree :-/

no way does it replace D1...no way :2f2f:

[s14_legend]

d1 is d1 the father of it all

[steve shadows]

Formula D almost seems pre-arranged.

I was there for the last two hours.

The judging seems skewed

[HillaBean13]

the judging is always fucked it seems like its baesd on who paid more money to fund the event. its kinda shittty but its how it is

[s14_legend]

its just all business...thats what happens when things become mainstream

[DALAZ_68]

i herd no one crashed....so whats the point :keke:

[Brian]

you heard wrong.

[steve shadows]

I heard ugly gross solstices

[DALAZ_68]

you heard wrong.

well it wasnt worth me going on a 25 mile drive and turn crispy from the sun worth it... thats what i meant...

should have clarified

[s14_legend]

dont worry you didnt miss much

[Brian]

wow.
Long Beach FD is seriously the best one there is.

but, whatever.

drifting isn't for everybody.

[deadpirate]

u only drove 25 miles??


try over 100 with a trailer hahaha

[Brian]

try.... however far i drove, in MY car.

rammmm racing

[DALAZ_68]

u only drove 25 miles??


try over 100 with a trailer hahaha

and u regret it :keke:

JK JK

i dunno i just didnt feel like burning in the sun :ugh:

[1five10]

FD or D1? D1 or FD? Who cares who is better, we should just all be glad there are events for us to attend. If you don't like it, don't go. I go to both and have a good time at both. Funny how you hear people talk all this shit about FD, but yet, they still go to the events..Leave your asses at home and cross your fingers that D1 will be happening this year at Irwindale. If it happens, I'll be there, too. I go for the entertainment of it all. Watch some drifting, check out the ladies, buy shit I don't need, check out more ladies, buy more shit i don't need, then check out the ladies again, and then maybe watch more drifting...

[SUPERSTAR]

My buddy Charlie went to check out the dudes. :-/
