Road Atlanta Archives - Target Audience Magazine

Road Atlanta has been synonymous with world-class internationally significant racing for over four decades. The rolling hills and park-like setting made the perfect location for the WERA Cycle Jam, June 6-8.

WERA Motorcycle Roadracing, Inc. was founded in 1973 and remains the foremost national sanctioning bodies conducting motorcycle races at road courses across the United States. There are over 3,000 roadracers holding a competition license, which includes over 135 lifetime members – those who have held a competition license for ten consecutive years.

WERA’s youngest fan. Thomas Birkle is 6-yrs old and has been riding since he was 4-yrs old. He is looking forward to his ninth birthday, as he will be able to race with WERA.

One, two, three … GO!

Look mom, no hands!

Intense!

A Glimpse of Formula Drift Round 2 Road Atlanta May 9 – May 10

By Bonnie Morét

The driving “wows” me and the energy excites me … my name is Bonnie Morét and I LOVE DRIFTING!

Formula Drift, Inc. was co-founded by Jim Liaw and Ryan Sage in 2003. With 60 plus licensed drivers competing, Formula Drift is recognized as the premier North American professional drifting championship series. The series consists of a seven round championship played out at race tracks across the United States. Judged on execution and style rather than who finishes the course in the fastest time, Formula Drift joins traditional racing and extreme sports.

From energy drinks to the military, Formula Drift works closely with a variety of endemic and non-endemic business partners. Most notably Formula Drift works with the largest amount of tire suppliers to a single series. Achilles, Falken, Hankook, Maxxis, Kenda, Nitto, GT Radial, and Yokohama all work together to supply teams and develop test their products.
