Toyota Grand Prix of Long Beach

Posted on 25. Apr, 2010 by bespokeordie in Diary

     I slept on these photos for a little bit before I posted them for no other reason than I was just too lazy to upload them from my digital camera.  Well, the laziness has ended and the pictures have been prepped.  Last weekend John was kind enough to come through with some super-exclusive access to the 36th Annual Toyota Grand Prix of Long Beach.  The event was crazy, the food was ridiculous, but what I was most excited for was the 20 minute exhibition of drifting going down on Sunday, April 18th 2010.  The Grand Prix is basically a street race featuring different types of cars from Formula Drift to Formula One and everything and anything in between.  The streets of downtown Long Beach are blocked off and the cars zoom around the city.  It really is an experience.  My pictures were centered around the luxury import exhibit and the drifting exhibition.  Thanks to John we also were privileged enough to get up close and personal with all the drifters before and after the exhibition.
