RIP Slammedenuff G*T πŸ’€

As someone who has been going to car shows and meets for 25+ years, I knew this had H2Oi 2.0 written all over it.
Warnings from the city before the event, expected groups of cars and kids in every parking lot along the cruising strip, enough attention that the kids seeking attention, good or bad, would show up...
The writing was on the wall.
The days were pretty chill, busy but respectful.
The night though... got out of hand, fast. The busiest spots, Jimmy's, Cook-Out, Zoomers, quickly became overrun with people, not even with cars, hyping up the ruckus, burnouts, revving, chaos, takeover.
The few officers trying to have a good time and keep the peace were being taunted, disrespected, challenged. Kids getting in their face, climbing the gas pumps, the buildings. All it would take is one idiot with a πŸ”« or to light some β›½ and it would've been absolute anarchy. Slammed cars, exotics, hoonigans, hoodrats, bikes, idiots. Cars racing down the strip at 120+, doing burnouts and donuts at every light, on top of the normal ridiculously low and loud cars. It was a recipe for disaster, anxiousness, and chaos.
I saw 100+ officers come in, neighboring counties, state highway, swat, gas masks, dogs, helicopter. They were outnumbered, anxious, scared, and could feel they were on the line of things getting out of hand. As a grown ass attendee that has seen situations like this get out of control due to a single idiot, I could feel the tension.
So that's a wrap for G*T. I don't see the city allowing Slammedenuff back. TBH, I could see them creating and enforcing new laws (car height, noise ordinance, etc.) to keep this crowd out, and that sucks as a whole for the car community. Let me know your thoughts and ideas on how we may be able to stop or slow down the enviable, but these larger meetup events seem like a recipe for disaster as it is.

Side note, if anyone spotted us in the G*T Cursed lowered RDX, share please 😁 We got all kinds of love, 100+ compliments and people coming up to take pics and video so I know we're out there! πŸ˜†πŸ’€

Next weekend is the 46th Historic Sportscar Racing "The Mitty" at Michelin Raceway Road Atlanta!

This year's featured marque is "Cars of Japan", but as you can see from my photos from last year, there's a bit of everything at HSR events! Last year's marque was Nascar Stock Cars, which was a nice mix between the rest of the vintage sports cars, stock cars, open wheel and Indy cars. With an entire weekend of races, sprints, and trackside activities, it's an awesome time for any type of race fan!

What an awesome event by CKNA!
500+ karts, 3 days of on track action, & great racing and memories made all weekend with an amazing group of racers, families, friends, fans and staff!
I'll post a few of my favorites in a separate post, but check out the Rocket Gear Media link in the post for ALL of the pics from the weekend! 😁

You say I'll never change,
Just to go around town with some gasoline.
Tryin' to burn the flame,
Gonna burn the whole place down.

Porsche Wins the Rolex 24!
Watch 'Em! ⌚

It was a great battle to watch between the No. 7 Penske Porsche and the No. 31 Cadillac, but after (almost) 24 hours, the Porsche takes the checkered flag and will get those celebratory Rolex watches. Congrats!

One for the record books.

The Whelen Motorsports Cadillac V-Series GTP looked fast all weekend during practice at the Roar, and then during the IMSA 24 qualifying, Pipo Derani smashed the track record with a blistering 1 minute 32.656 seconds around the 3.56 mile Daytona International Speedway road course! 😳

Day or Night, Rain or Shine...
As a photographer I'd pick night racing in the rain every time.
πŸ“·πŸ”₯

Can you believe it's 2024, and next weekend is the IMSA Roar Before the ROLEX 24 Daytona International Speedway!? 😳

This will be my 4th consecutive year attending, and what an event! If you're a fan of endurance racing, sportscars, or racing and cars in general, IMSA events are an absolute treat as a fan. The access they allow is incredible, and seeing the variety of cars up close and on the track, from the recognizable classes, to the impressive Prototypes, to the wild hybrid class all battling together is an experience ...
Add the lights in the night (and a little rain!?).... 😍πŸ”₯

& If you're a driver, owner, manufacturer, sponsor, promoter, newspaper or magazine, or need photos of or in general for any reason, and for a very reasonable rate, please reach out! As much fun as I have freelancing events like this and spending weekends at the tracks and shows, I'd love to spend this year focusing on specific clients and providing awesome content for them to use.

In the meantime, enjoy a few (hundred) of my favorite shots from last years - one of many events I photographed in '23 that I'll be posting over the next couple weeks :)
