LONG BEACH,
California -- The streets of Long Beach come alive with the roar
of engines, the roar of the crowd applauding and the scenic Long
Beach harbor glistening for the annual Grand Prix car race. A
tradition and fixture in Long Beach, there were concerns when
the Aquarium of the Pacific opened near the race track that the
sounds would impact the fish in the state-of-the-art facility.
Research was performed to be sure that the race would not impact
these contained sea creatures. And the race was on as it has
been for decades now. Grand Prix of Long Beach is one of
California's hottest, smokin'
car events.
Events held in conjunction
with the car racing include vendor expos in the Long Beach
Convention Center, concerts and a jam-packed Pine Avenue scene
each night as those who attend pour onto the streets of Long
Beach for dining, dancing and entertainment. In addition to the
cute girls in their matching halter tops and form-fitting shorts
or pants, you'll see lots of vendors attempting to grab
attention to their newest, latest products through displays of
shiny, hot cars.
The biggest, most exciting event of the year in Long Beach,
California, offers a tradition of great
car racing. The downtown streets of Long Beach are closed with a
festive atmosphere. The roar of engines can be heard as Toyota
Pro/Celebrity Race; American Le Mans Series Race; Imperial
Capital Bank Atlantic Championship Race; EZ Lube Team Drift
Challenge and the Annual Toyota Grand Prix of Long Beach
(Champ Car Race) bring three days of thrills. Things to see and
do include celebrity and race champ autograph signings, Long
Beach Convention Center family lifestyle expo with Skateboard
and BMX, bands, food, entertainment and endless fun. Location:
Downtown Long Beach near Aquarium of the Pacific and Long Beach
Convention Center (race course goes throughout downtown streets,
that will be closed.) Prices for event range from a $20/day
ticket to special club seating and events with the top package
costing around $800 for the Shoreline Pit Lane Club. gplb.com
