Default Forged Performance: NASA Event Coverage @ RD ATL

This past weekend the Forged Performance team went to Road Atlanta to participate in the NASA Track Day. This event consists of High Performance Driving Education, Time Trials and dozens of classes of wheel to wheel racing. This makes for a really great event with a wide variety of cars on the track at any given time. Sharif had our Porsche 996 GT3 out for HPDE4 and was doing his part to give back to other motorsports enthusiasts by instructing and giving ride-alongs all weekend long. His helmet never left his head, and he looked he had just completed a 12hr enduro! I spent my day at some of my favorite spots around Road Atlanta posted up with my camera getting some pretty decent action shots and wanted to stop by and share them with every one.

Hope to see you all at the track again soon.

Upcoming events:

July 1 Road Atlanta with Chin Motorsports
July 11 VIR Full Course Forged Performance/NAGTROC private track day
July 30-31 Road Atlanta Chin Motorsports (we will be debuting our new fullly race prepared GT-R Version 2.0).

Chris, one of our Tech's creepin' haha

Yeah lol he would let the tow truck driver get him off course either, he just cruised around the rest of RA until he could go off into the pits ha

I was doing ok, car felt great and stable but the nut behind the wheel was taking it easy. I was in the 41-42s all weekend, with much more to go. I had not driven RA for 3 years, and I only was in HPDE3 in a street car back then lol. You should of came over to the pro pits and checked it out. How did Sharif do?

Ah ok got yah, RA is a serious track. I would rather take it easy than too hard.

He did pretty good, had a few 33 laps this weekend.
