Erik Köhler | GHOSTPACK | LOCKRIDGE NIGHTS COLLAB

The city’s corrupt police force turns a blind eye for the right price, making the underground racing scene Lockridge’s real heartbeat.

Three districts define the city: the Violet Core (downtown’s neon-drenched technical courses where Ghostpack rules), the Rust Quarters (industrial wasteland of abandoned factories and drift-ready straightaways), and the Reaches (highway sp
