Day 1 at Road Atlanta finished late into the evening with the top drivers heading into the main competition tomorrow. Here are some teaser photos…tomorrow will be out of control. Keep posted for more action in the ATL!

We are here live at Road Atlanta. The weather is cloudy, but no rain yet, which is nice because the weather isn’t as hot as expected. This morning the Channel 2 news team came and interviewed Samuel Hubinette and FD President, Jim Liaw.

Tonight in Atlanta was the Drift Alliance Premiere of their 2nd DVD, “Stay Hungry.” The premiere took place at a movie theatre and both industry and fans were invited to view the exciting action. In true DA form the video proved to be filled with amazing drifting and crazy antics. The video’s production was great and the driver’s intros were hilarious. A definite must see!
After setting up at the track all day a few of us headed over to the Chateau Elan, which is a winery that is also founded by the owner of Panoz Motorsport and the American Le Mans series. Each year we try to stop by to grab a drink at Paddy’s Bar, an Irish pub, and have a nice glass of Guiness. This is a great spot to relax while in Atlanta.

We just landed to Atlanta yesterday. The set-up has begun to prepare for this weekend’s big event. The weather is good so far, but we are expecting some heat mixed with some showers during the weekend. This will make for an interesting event. The drivers look good during practice and should be putting up a good show! Check out the pics…
