The Cars Of Gridlife - Speedhunters

Late last month, I gave you guys a look into the culture of Gridlife Midwest, as well as touching on the drift action, all of which went down at Gingerman Raceway in Michigan.

Gridlife is the ultimate track day, car show and concert all rolled into one, making it the best event of this type outside of Europe.

Turbo ecotec powered datsun 510. Thing looks and sounds awesome going around the track or sitting still.

i find autobahn a far more fun track but gingerman is certainly the bigger event. lot of cool cars at both.

AB will become a huge track for Gridlife. They just started this whole thing like last year, and it's becoming a nationwide thing now. Unfortunately it just doesn't do it for me, I don't like the show car scene and the crowds that it brings, plus the band thing but the track part is almost as good as WMHM which is their more (for now) biggest event.

not about that stance scene but I find AB more technical, gingerman nice smooth lines which keeps the speed up, both fun but AB more challenging. Either way more track time / experience is what the doctor ordered.

the drifting is cool to see but it takes a big cut into track time, particularly at gingerman.

this is the 3rd year of gingerman gridlife and 2nd at autobahn. it was all south last year, but this year it was a noon start (oddly enough) 2 sessions north, 3 full, then i think it was 5 south the next day.

no music at autobahn. smaller crowd and less douchebags. whehter music or camping or what there are a lot more douches at gingerman. ie. walking around paddock and not moving out of the way of cars running hot or trying to get to the track, simply parking in the paddock period, people parking and cruising through where they shouldn't be, etc.
