Over the past few years Drifting has grown in the United States in a way that everyone has noticed. One element of the sport that does not get recognized in growth is the fan base and loyalty of the fans at the events. Formula D Atlanta this past week marked the loudest I have ever heard a crowd get over calls being made. Fans were “booing” when they didn’t like the results of a run or action made and other fans brought cowbells and air horns for when they got excited.

On top of all that it was the first time I saw posters flying in the air around the grandstands. A sign that said “Brake Check” and another “T. Angelo Saved Drifting” were found being hoisted up during competition at the event. We only have five rounds left this year somehow but I want to encourage all the fans out there to bring posters, air horns, cow bells along with any other fun materials to keep the energy alive in 2009!
