Formula Drift Streets of Long Beach Part 1 The Umbrella Girls

Well, Spring is in the air.  With April upon us, the year-long drifting season revs up with one of the biggest events in Long Beach, the first round of the Formula Drift championship series.  The LBC has become somewhat of a pilgrimage spot for many talented drivers to test themselves, placing everything on the line to one day become the best.  In order to do that though, they need to get some shade.  It's hot out there.  That's when those gorgeous umbrella girls with the cute colorful outfits really come in handy.  Really though, these amazing women contribute a lot towards making this event all that more special for the competitors and spectators that attend, and much is to be appreciated about the spirit and enthusiasm that they help create at such an already action-packed event.  This is a tribute to these fabulous ladies who did such a great job this year.

Now once you've cooled down in the shade, you can always count on a beautiful NOS Energy girl to quench your thirst.  But don't worry, they also have umbrellas if you need it.  That's shade and chilled giddiness rolled into one for you the spectator.  Often times though, the mere sight of these lovely ladies is soothing enough...
