I know I’m a little late on posting this, but things around the home front have been a little hecktic. That being said Formula D Round 2, Atlanta, was a BLAST! I’ve got a couple videos to share right now and many more to come soon.
The event began several days before I arrived with setup and practice the Thursday before, but I was able to detach myself from all my distractions to make it to the Friday practice runs and Saturday’s main event. When I arrived Friday the pits were already buzzing with activity. Drivers were signing autographs, NOS models were handing out enough caffeine to keep a legion of avid drift enthusiasts awake for the weekend, and the tire sponsors were handing out the used, discarded hulks of rubber that were left after each round of turning $400 tires into smoke and testosterone. I still have one of these discarded hulks in the back of my truck, I have no idea what to do with it. Possibly the most fun activity of the afternoon was in the huge space that Dodge had walled off with water-filled barriers, doing a little tire scorching of their own. For no cost (except the time it took to fill out a waiver and stand in line) you could ride along in one of the new 392 Dodge Challengers. These things were sweet! For your viewing pleasure, May I present The Ride-Along:
As you can guess, the drifting experience in a big Domestic Muscle Car is pretty awesome.
Here’s some footage of another few rides and some of the pro’s I’ll be highlighting in my next post!
Looks awesome!!! Great soundtracks on the videos!
