My day at Formula D Long Beach 2016 Round 1

2016-04-08 16.11.34
This is the second time I have been to Long Beach, but this time at the convention center where I was able to make it to the Formula D round 1. I remember back in 2012 how much eye candy there was from women to candy cars.

Friday, I didn’t get a full chance to make it out but I heard they canceled most of it due to the rain, so I went around to get a layout of the land and it was good, it was wet. That night I took my mom and we went to Roscoe’s house of Chicken and Waffles since the hotel was around the corner.

2016-04-09 17.11.37Saturday, I started early and ended up in a very long line that took about almost 2 hours to get passed the check in at the gates. It was rainy and weird. The humidity makes it feel like I am sweating the rain. I met up with  a few co-workers \ friends in the long line where it made waiting a little easier.

As soon as we got in we strolled around for a bit got some free stuff all around handed out by the vendors who support the popular sport.

With wrapping this day up, I was met up with an old friend I have not seen since Middle School. So it was a good day all around.

The winner of the epic drift battle was C. Denofa, followed by second place with F. Aasbo, and 3rd place K. Gushi. The Rain really made it a challenge for these guys, alot of wrecks and crashes that made the day interesting.

When it was over with I too my Mom to Bubba Gump Shrip Co. that is also right there off the pier at Long Beach..

Sunday, just before heading out took a quick one last visit of long beach which was a great and beautiful view, a bit cold for the full beach visit.  But the weekend off was a great weekend overall.
