There are different car show atmospheres that come with any region inside the United States. The western states have a deep-rooted aesthetic competition seen at car shows, where claiming an award is the priority. However, elsewhere stateside there is a greater sense of camaraderie and relaxation among show entrants. They may build their car with the goal of claiming an award, but they’re still at the show to engage with like-minded enthusiasts. Evidenced most recently at the Atlanta, Georgia stage of the Fatlace presented show Offset Kings.

The dividing line between performance and fashion is rarely skewed in the automotive culture. We gear heads, as a whole, tend to cling to one side or the other with aspirations of crossing over to dabble in our counterpart. That dividing line became physical in Long Beach, California where a barrier of fencing separated the temporary Long Beach Grand Prix track from the Fatlace presented car show ­– Offset Kings.
