The Long Beach Grand Prix weekend got off to a roaring start with Thunder Thursday this evening at The Pike Outlets.

The free event gave spectators a chance to watch a freestyle motocross demonstration that took over Shoreline Drive and a pit stop competition that previewed some of the action that race enthusiasts will see during the Grand Prix main event on Sunday.

A full list of events this race weekend and information on tickets are available at gplb.com .
