OK, for those who don't really know what Formula Drift is, its a type of race where the object isn't to be the fastest. Oh no, the object is to get your car as sideways as possible during a turn and to make sure the crowd goes nuts. I was introduced to this sport by my best friend and I have been hooked on it since. This weekend is the start of the 2011 season. It starts in the streets of Long Beach CA. And yes you read that correctly, I said STREETS of Long Beach. Why is it in the street and not on a racetrack? Well it is the week before the Grand Prix of Long Beach so why not put those big concrete barriers to use? It truly is an awesome thing to go see, and there's more cars and hot women than you can shake a stick at! Besides all the formula drift awesomeness for some reason this monday I woke up with a sore throat and that REALLY SUCKS! For me the start of getting sick is when a sore throat hits and for 3 days I feel like I have the plague. Good thing I have been practically injecting (and by injecting I mean drinking) tea and taking every "Stop this cold now" medication I could think of. Good news is that I am feeling better, and hopefully will be better come friday and saturday for the practice rounds and the main event. If you want to know more about the sport of drifting, go to www.formulad.com. You can also see if the events are coming to your town later in the year. Oh and also for your viewing pleasure here is a youtube video of some Formula Drift cars in action (you're welcome James).
