A beautiful day in Long Beach, California kicks off a great weekend of racing! |
 |
The street track encircles the Long Beach Convention Center, several hotels, bars, restaurants, and a man-made lake. |
 |
StopTech brakes are used on the pace cars. |
 |
Packed in like a sardine. |
 |
| There was lots of Indy practice sessions on the first day. | | | |

|
Usually there might be some soda cans tossed on the street but this weekend is a different story. |
 |
How much do you think a tank of gas costs these guys? |

A soap star and former race winner gets ready for some practice laps before Saturday's Pro/Celebrity race. |

Every driver in the Pro/Celebrity race drives a Toyota Scion modified for racing with StopTech brakes. |
 |
Kevin Jonas was one of the rookie drivers this year |
 |
Tito Ortiz barely fits into his Scion for the Pro/Celebrity laps |
 |
There was plenty of food for the fans, ranging from moderately unhealthy to very unhealthy, but all very tasty. Live the dream! |

It may look like Dino is parked, but trust us that he is whipping around that corner like all get out... |
