Sideway Sundays is back on October 21 at Lake Elsinore. A little bit late in the season, but for drift fans, its all good! Usually, its an all day drift event and a car show. The event starts at 10am and admission is $10 bucks.

Arrived at Toyota Speedway and parked. Parking was free so the day started out pretty good. I think it was about 1:30 when I opened the car door and BAM! What the hell dude. It’s freaking hot over here in Irwindale. Checked the thermometer and it was over 95 degree! I thought I could handle this.
So I got out of the car, and brought my equipment. My telephoto and regular lens and man it was heavy stuff. I’m never going to do that again. It’s going to be either one or the other. I hate carrying a camera bag and a fat bag for the telephoto lens.
Paid my $10 bucks for the car show and tried to take some pictures. The sun was really bearing down on me. I think there was some humidity that made it even worse. I didn’t take much pictures and after a while, I got hungry and bought some water and nachos at the food vendor by the entrance. Expensive stuff. The burger was just out of my price range.
After sitting down for a long time under the umbrella, went back to the car show and walked around. Talked to some guys. Thought I was going to have a heat stroke or something, and then I just walked.
Total time at Sideway Sundays was 2 hours. That’s the shortest time I’ve been to an event this year.
I have to give credit to the guys who stayed their the entire day. That’s dedication.

Sideway Sundays will be back at Toyota Irwindale Speedway on July 31 from 10 to 5pm. This is an all day drifting event and a car show on the side. Check it out. Going to be a nice day.
If you want to drift. I think there’s some rules and stuff but if you pass the rules, just pay $80 bucks for the entire day.
By the way, when you look over the fence, you’ll probably see nothing. That’s because everything is on the track. The cars and the vendors.
