2013 #formuladrift Round 1 Long Beach Highlights 3 Ceremony #wheelsandheels #drifting #openingceremony

April 16, 2013

wheelsandheelsmag.com / Long Beach, CA (Py) - Driving a super souped up car, getting to seriously burning some tires, and drifting like a bat out of hell are all fun, but standing next to gorgeous models and showing off your decal-laden kick-ass car in front of thousands of fans out there, it's a celebrity thing!! Very cool!

We get to also see the familiar faces of the promotional models, doing what actually in the right context of the venue at the opening ceremony.

Erica Nagashima looks awesome with a Gopro camera at hand. Talking about live actions, on the passenger seat!

Randyl Dawn stood right next to the winning driver,Daijiro Yoshihara, very cool!

Several Falken Tires cars made it into finals, that brought us more Falken models. Yay!

Sandra Wong was on the track, we are so happy to see her there!! We are sure that it was an exhilarating experience! Awesome!!

The crowd was wild by all the excitements from the introduction and the anticipation of the final show down on Round 1 competition!

Right before Tailyr Monette got back into the car, we took a quick snap of her, smiling very pretty!

Ceremoniously, the drivers started to take the models for some serious spinning before getting back to their starting position. Must be a thrill ride for the models who don't drift much or at all. Fun!!
