We spent the weekend at Gridlife South, a track day, drift event, car show, and concert all stuffed into Road Atlanta’s huge infield. And it was a blast. We managed to find something for every automotive taste, from 400-horsepower hot hatches to VIP sedans to the country’s top drift talent. Plus, the crowd was awesome: The entire event had a positive atmosphere that we haven’t seen anywhere else. After all, who could dislike full-course drifting at over 100 mph (a track first). Waka Flocka Flame, the weekend’s headlining talent, even joined in on the fun: We spotted him rapping in the paddock while Chris Forsberg did big, smoky donuts around him. Gridlife: Sensory overload for the automotive enthusiast.
Drift-trike looks the business. Have any details about it?
Not much to it–lawn mower engine, trike, cutting board wheels that had absolutely no grip at all.
It looked like fun!
I'll admit it. I had to google Waka Flocka Flame to find out if that was a group, a person, or a burning muppet.
Pretty much all three, right?
I'll say this: I don't listen to rap. I'm so white, the closest thing to a Waka Flocka concert I'd ever been to was that time Nicole and I saw Jason Mraz on Valentine's day.
IT WAS AWESOME. He put on one of the best shows I've ever seen, and everybody in the audience was totally into it after a few songs. Even a few crusty SCCA guys (who will remain nameless) were totally into him after a few songs. I'd absolutely buy a ticket next time he's in town.
