Me and my friend came all the way from new mexico to attend the d1gp usa event, not we have expected at all!
I agree this new organization was just all out for our money! We paid extra for vip passes to visit with drivers in the pit but security closed area at noon and decided only drivers and crew members are allowed in the area, there were plenty of vip holders that were denied entry as well and furious! I even talked to an event staff what is the reason why this is happening, last year's d1 allowed fans to access the pit area and mingle with drivers, she couldn't give me an answer. That same afternoon we wanted to sit in the yellow band bleechers where most of my family were, the damn security guard prohibited us to go in the area.

The damn track was short just has 4-5 clipping points in a parking lot of angel stadium.

On top of this, most of the formula d drivers aren't in attendance, most of the us drivers are rookies, drift king keiichi wasn't there, and just 3-4 respectable japanese drivers were there, a few parts stores! Just all girls and booties everywhere! No major industry tire company sponsoring the event as well = no take home freebies!

And what's up with the bikes, gumballs, and karts?

I suggest we boycott the midwest and east coast events, alert members of this freaking scam!

I will complain directly to d1 as well, and link this blog to them.

Thanks for the great blog, i thought we are just the ones experiencing this wasteful event.
