While I was unable to get a media pass this year for Formula Drift, I still got to experience(yet again) one of the most badass events the east coast sees every year. But not having a media pass also presented somewhat of an opportunity for me, to be able to capture the event through the eyes of a fan, and get to enjoy the show from the stands with the roaring crowd around me.
Drifting, while growing at an amazing rate, is still a grassroots event when it comes to the world scale. And while everyone that enjoys the sport wishes for it to continue to grow, it allows for some great opportunities for fans to really meet and mingle with the drivers, cars, and teams.
Wish I could drift like that :).
