Allstar/Bridgestone Drivers go to the Long Beach Grand Prix

It was a beautiful day in Southern California and the team packed up for a fun day at the races. Josh from Bridgestone/PTSC was also in town for the race so we got to spend some time with him away from our race scene which was definitely fun times. We also had the rare opportunity to bring our families to the event which was a real treat for them since it was the first time for all of them to come to an all access pass to every area including the pits and the paddock where all the teams would prep their cars and the drivers could be seen walking around.


Here is the view for one of our friends 12th floor condo looking at the last few turns right before the front straight, we spent most of the actual LBGP race watching from up here away from the 180 degree track temperature.

Thanks to Bridgestone for helping us have a great weekend with our families and special thanks to Josh from giving us the Presidential Tour of the in and outs of the pits of LBGP.

Until next year!!!
