I heard about this. I'll probbaly show up. I hear it something like $25 to run so we'll see if I have money to spare by then.

I was thinking about going. i heard about from streetcarforums.com, but i think its kind of dumb b/c they have only 3 classes and to be in the street car class all you have to do is show up there w/o a trailer, I know of several ppl dropping their trailers off a mile away and driving their"street car" to the track when it runs low 10s. I'd just get raped. I might roll down there just to support or whatever and to do the show thing.

That would be nice though to have a good track about 45 min from my house. Hey steve if you wanna meet up there I might be able to go and just show my car, no sense in racing just to be raped lol.

The ATL speedway is only about 5-10 minutes from my house, so Im pretty sure I'll be there, if not to race then to show.

I actually drive by the speedway on my way to school every day.

Don't you take the same exit that summit is at?

I just read more about it on their site. I'll defintaly be there now, they are going to have cruises around the track. Maybe they'll let us haul ass around there lol. Probably not.

Oh tight, lol going 140 around the track would be badass. I'll try to make it.

Going southbound take exit 218 and turn right, follow that road all the way to the track.

I take the back way though because its faster for me. I go on some roads back behind my house, to jonesboro rd, then I take 19/41 to the track.

cool, I'll be ther the 21st if nothing else comes up. I'm thinking a good cleaning and wax will be ok for the show.

The track is about 3 miles from my house so I will be there but I'm not going to race. I'm not about to line up next to one of those off-loaded trailer cars. I'll pay my entry fee to watch and hopefully a lot of others will too.

I'll see whos racing before I decide to. My 2nd gear syncro isn't doing so good so I may not race based on that. I'll be there though. Unless some act of go prevents me.
