Formula Drift 2014 Round 2: Road Atlanta – Offset Kings
As always we try to go the extra mile with our Formula D Round 2 Coverage being right in our backyard. We will start out the first part of the coverage of photos from the Offset Kings show held by Fatlace. This gives Atlanta a chance to show the west coast what we have to offer. The show has had its struggles 2 years ago, but it is making progress every year to become a better show.

We think it is important to come out and support events like this because when people do not show up, it keeps them from investing in the show and making improvements. The judging is always a topic of frustration for some, but we all know regardless of who wins there will always be some sort of issue. We were lucky enough to have a large number of cars enter the show under SOUTHRNFRESH. They were dedicated supporters who chose to wear the SF crest on their cars and represent SOUTHRNFRESH. Out of the 12 cars entered under SOUTHRNFRESH 6 of them took home awards. It really meant a lot to us for those guys to bring home trophies under our name. Especially since FATLACE is one of the reasons SOUTHRNFRESH even exists. So once again much love to you guys, you know who you are!

That is all that we have for our coverage of the OFFSET KINGS show. There were plenty of other winners and competitors that we missed. We had some complications with photos from a few guys and the photos got lost. So we apologize for not getting more photos of the other cars. We hope to see more cars come out next year.
