Formula Drift: Long Beach 2015

It's been one year since my first show with Project Zero in FDLB and here we are again. This event has to be my favorite because of the weekend we all spend away out of the norm in San Diego and to experience it with all of our friends in LA and OC. Especially when we always choose the best hotels to stay at haha. Aside from the mishap with receiving my trunk and bumper a day right before the show from Outcast Garage, we were able to paint the trunk and bumper thanks to help from Sang & Allan and everyone who helped out. Thanks guys, I appreciate it so much!

I decided to shoot all of PZ and RCH and a few other cars here and there because there was just too many cars to shoot. Nonetheless, it was amazing seeing everyone again, especially the super kawaii crew and RCH. Table for 20 at AYCE KBBQ please? Say no more fam.

Here's my recap of this previous weekend.


Our first night at Hyatt's Regency hotel


The view was pretty awesome with a lake
