A LOCAL'S GUIDE TO ROAD ATLANTA

By Bryan Sellers, Driver, No. 17 Team Falken Tire Porsche 911 GT3 RSR



Road Atlanta is an overwhelming and daunting track! As you pull through the main gate, even at first glance, you can immediately tell why. Even before living here in Braselton, Road Atlanta was always one of my favorite places to travel to and drive. The track is set on a picturesque piece of property that has…

The internationally known car rally, the California Mille, runs vintage sports cars over 1,000 miles of hilly Northern California roads. We recently lost the founder, Martin Swig, who died early July at age 78. What is special about the California Mille is that we get to see rare collector cars doing what they were meant to do: devouring hot asphalt. Most vehicles this rare are shown only at Concours events and museums!…

The Future of The Street Rod!

What is truly more American than a street rod! Classic street hot rods and muscle cars are a 100% American phenomenon. We have watched as the world has adopted and copied our hobby in so many ways. It is truly flattering to be emulated and exciting to see growing interest. Yet, do we need to be concerned about the future?

     Road Atlanta has hosted drift racing events for several years. While Drift Racing has grown in popularity in the last decade or more, drifting is really nothing new. If your car's rear end has ever swung around on a wet road, and you've struggled for 50 feet to get control, you've drifted. Even in car racing drifting is pretty much old school.…

   Most folks have become very comfortable with the Rat Rod phenomenon. But for those new to the idea, a Rat Rod is a style of custom car or truck, that in most cases, imitates (or perhaps exaggerates) the early hot rods of the mid 20th century. While there are many re-creations and period correct restorations of the traditional hot rod from that era, the Rat Rods are the rough edged, scrappy country cousins. Fans argue the Rat Rod is made for driving and hanging…

Hot Rodders of Tomorrow

   There is an expressed concern in the hot rod hobbies and cycle clubs that we are “aging” out; we are getting older and not recruiting younger “gear heads”. There is a parallel concern in the automotive and motorcycle industries that it seems harder to recruit experienced mechanics; those that can figure out and fix problems, not just replace parts!   A good mechanic must know a lot about how complex parts of the cars of cycles work together.…

   There are a number of organizations that train folk to be judges at car and motorcycle events.  Many people wonder and yet not everyone is always fully aware of what they are looking for.  It can be fairly daunting for a newcomer.  There are different categories have different criteria about what is expected for each car.  You are never going to please all of the judges,…

I recently bought a cherry '93 Ruby Corvette (the 40th Anniversary model) which had been stored all its life.  In recent years it was garaged, and driven very little.  Even though it has fairly new good quality Nito tires, I noticed a very serious shimmy in the balance at about 60 to 70 mph on the Interstate highways.  I took it over to Butler Tire in…

Ford Motors came to Atlanta in partnership with the City of Atlanta to present the Ford’s Power of Choice Tour.  We met in Atlanta, GA, on a cool Thursday morning, November 10, 2011 at The Charging Spot in Atlantic Station to hear highlights of Ford’s fuel efficient lineup and the new electrified vehicles that will be available in…

Three Reasons Why You Should Consider Switching to HID Headlights

Reason #1:  Custom Colorization

Most halogen headlights only produce the basic headlight color you’re used to seeing as you drive down a highway or back road at night.  Chances are, however, that you’ve also noticed some brightly colored headlights that stand out more than most of the others. …
