Formula D ’08 – Long Beach, CA "The Trip"
Thursday Night: We landed in LAX. It was 3am as far as my body was concerned. We headed to “The Kettle” for a late, late dinner, then headed to the Residence Inn: Marriott. Little did I know that my sleeping arrangements would equal two couch cushions and some sheets. “All expense paid”…next time I’ll read the fine print lol. It ended up being very comfortable, the worst of it was having to endure everyone else staying up late and chatting right next to me.
Fri/Sat – Formula D – Long Beach ’08:
The friday qualifier went great. I learned the angles of the track and found the best places to post up the Canon GL2 and shoot. Saturday’s main event was awesome. We had perfect weather, which I’ve heard is typical for Cali’, and the event was a success as the driver I was hired to cover (Chris Forsberg/NOS Energy Drink/Maxxis) placed 1st.
Vaughn Gitten Jr. – 10th
Sunday – Sightseeing:
I thought LA was a beautiful overall. We never did make it downtown but did get a chance to visit K-town (Little Korea), Pasadena and West Hollywood. Here are some random pics from the trip: Enjoy (and cut me some slack…it’s a Sony Point-n-shoot)!
Some awesome Graffiti in West Hollywood…
Pasadena, CA
Some awesome Italian…
and the worlds best coffee.
Can’t wait to go back…maybe for Formula D – Irwindale!!!
