Saturday: Showcase Main event! A cool thing about vegas and unlike our other showcases at FD. The event is started later in the afternoon. Im assuming to avoid the intense heat during the day.  I doubt they want there spectators frying in the Vegas sun, haha.  The crew woke up nice and not too early. Got to the venue around noonish. There was a very sick line up of the cars waiting right outside the gates ready to get in. Our car show participants looked well rested & happy. Though some looked like they partied all night long and were paying for it in the morning :P Oh Vegas…. Only you…

 

I got to say this though… Formula Drift Vegas is unlike any other FD I’ve been too. Starts really late, Ends really late & the spectators are very lively. To top it off, Its in Vegas!. For sure its been one of my favorite FD events so far. So next year you guys better make it out, Trust me. We  had such an amazing turn out. Thanks to everyone who participated! hope you enjoyed it as much as I did.. See you guys next year!

Enjoy!

A Smokey venue when we arrived (ProAm/32 Practice)

The clouds started running away and the Sun started attacking us in full force… I swear I drank at least 20 bottles of water.. I dont remember going to the restroom at all
