Clean Culture ATL Showdown was held at the Atlanta Motor Speedway in Hampton, Georgia on June 8, 2024. As it's an outdoor show near the official start of summer, it was going to be a hot one. This year's event got off to a congested start with the lines starting a bit early for the vendors and the gates only being let open at the stated time of 11 AM by the venue. Once allowed in, vendors and drift cars began their setup, then followed show cars and early admission before the public entry at 2 PM.
The space was limited to the first garage paddock parking on both sides - one for vendors, and the reset of the garage area and open parking for show cars. A lot of car clubs showed up including Original Kings, NVUS Atlanta, multiple BMW groups including the M Addicts club., Daily Driven Exotics, and the Speedgate Motorsports Skyline groups.
This was a vendor-centric show, and definitely featured more vendors than last year. The events for the day included drifting, drifting ride alongs, a burn out pit, car limbo and a 2-step competition. Highlights included a custom Ford model T, a Varis Kamikaze Wide Body kit on a 370z (1 of 3 in the US), two big wheel cars, and some highly modified Jeeps. These events are a modified car enthusiast showcase and always fun to attend once you get in the venue.
