Acceler8 Team Meets Youth in Atlanta During Round 2 of Formula Drift
It was another successful trip at Formula Drift Atlanta for the Acceler8 Team. We were able to meet up with the Automotive Training Institute, and the @Promise Youth Program, for the second year in a row, and it was another amazing experience for the books! Students were greeted with swag bags from Acceler8 that included gear from Slime, Rainex, as well as a Leen Custom Pin. We got to visit one of the newest drift driver’s, Josh Love, and his team. The students were given a behind the scenes look at Love’s drift car and the work it takes to keep a car like that running and operating at its best. It’s that first revving of the engine that got the student’s ultimate attention, with smiles and amazement of how powerful an engine can really sound. The students made their way to the FalKen Tire tent, where they were given a presentation of how their tires are made, designed and how they receive information from the drivers team about the pros and cons of the performance of their tires, so that they can keep improving the performance of their products. The students were able to participate in the autograph session with the drift racers, as well as walk around the venue and visit some of the popular vendors connected to drift racing, while collecting more swag gear. The evening ended with a special trip on the track. The students were escorted to a location where they had an up close and personal view of drifting at its finest.
