Formula Drift - Streets of Long Beach - Long Beach, CA 04.12.2013

The 2013 Drift Season has begun!  This season marks the 10th anniversary of the Formula Drift Professional Drifting Championships.  I have been very fortunate to have been able to attend each of the Southern California events, and a few outside of the SoCal region over the last 10 years and it is amazing to see the growth of the sport, the evolution of the championship, and the level of driving skills put on by the best drivers from all over the world.

Friday, started the weekend and Round 1 with the practice and qualifying sessions to determine the Top 32 drivers that would battle on Saturday for the rights of the Round 1 champion.  With the start of a new season, brings out new cars, and new looks for many of the drivers and 2013 does not disappoint.  Here's a look back at some of the action from Friday afternoon.
