GRASSROOTS: Slide or Die 2
Yet another Sunday practice day has come. I always wake up in such a good mood when I know these days are here. As you can see, these guys dont play. They may be practicing but they bring “it”.

To start things off, I haven’t posted in a while and I’ve actually missed it quite a lot, so I’m really glad to have a couple things lined up to shoot and to post. We recently received news that sadly, all the local Atlanta drift events were to be cancelled for the year. This was bad as I didn’t know what I was going to be able to shoot! Luckily, it was announced that there was going to be a practice event at Lanier National Speedway and what a deal it was.
Showing up to this practice session was looking like it would turn out to be a dull day. Only 30 cars showing up to drive and out of those 30, only about 8 were SED Pro Am drivers. As you can tell, I was so wrong and boy was I glad.
Gresham Motorsports Park, Jefferson Ga. South East Drift Pro Am series- Fuera De Control; 16 Drivers, only one winner.
Waking up on Sunday morning at 7:00am to the sound of my alarm clock definitely didn’t put me in the mood to get up, but then I remembered that soon I would get to smell burning rubber. That would put a smile on my face. (more…)
At 8pm on Friday, May 7th, the battle between the top Formula Drift Pro Am guys from Atlanta and the south east began. It was intense, heart pounding, edge of your seat drift action.
35 miles north of Atlanta there’s a town called Braselton, Georgia. Road Atlanta, a world class 2.54-mile, 12-turn road course sits in the middle of this small town. On the 10th turn, Formula Drift drivers begin their battle to the winners podium. The track is set up with a horse shoe turn where drivers must hit 3 clipping points. This track is fast, difficult and drivers can lose all their momentum in a single turn. Around the horseshoe, smoke, dirt and tire fly into the crowd as drivers whip their cars down the hill, ending up back where they came.
Hey everyone, I am Kenny Freeman (friends call me Kpuff) and I’m a photographer from the USA on the east coast in Atlanta, Georgia. I’ve been a photographer for about 6 years now, doing different things like automotive, modelling and weddings. Definitely have to say that Drifting photography is one of my favorites, and I love the events we have around Atlanta. I started taking drifting shots about 2 years ago and didn’t do much with it.
