On july 21, Atlanta Motor Speedway is having their first friday night drags, it will be heads up, no electronics racing. they will have more races in the next few months. i hear this is to see how many folks are interested in drag racing and depending on the outcome they may build a drag strip. if you are in the georgia area please attend to support this needed track. there are no tracks within an hour or more of the atlanta area. visit: www.atlantamotorspeedway.com for more details. pass the word along

email me if you plan to attend. jjjjjgrant@bellsouth.net

thanks, jeff

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.

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.

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.
