Contour Enthusiasts Group Archives Forums Branches Southeast MEET UPDATE: This weekend, 3/29 and 3/30.....DIRECTIONS, PLANS, ETC

OK, here we go. I understand lots of you may not be able to make it due to the Easter holiday (a big fat Homer Simpson D'OH on my part) but I hope some of you can come out one or both days. Here's the scoop:

March 29: Atlanta Dragway Fast Friday...

Come to race your car or come to check out the action and hang out with us. $10 to get in and $15 to race your car. If you are a drag race newbie, we can let you know what's up when you get there...just pay and then drive your car towards the Sunoco fuel stataion at the end of the track for tech inspection...AND BE SURE TO WEAR JEANS/PANTS IF YOU ARE GOING TO RACE! Its a safety rule. We usually meet up behind the big press box near the fence surrounding the staging lanes. Let's shoot to all meet there between 6:30 and 7 PM.

Directions are as follows:

I-85 north from Atlanta.
Take the HWY 441/Commerce GA exit (where all the outlet malls are)
Turn left off of the exit ramp.
Cross over the freeway
Take a left at the second light....there is a Pizza hut and a KFC on your left
Take the first right about 200-300 feet down past the pizza hut (there is a sign)
The dragstrip is half a mile down the road on the right. Can't miss it.

March 30, Nopi Regional Car Show....

This will be a nice little car show in which Ryan and I will be entering (unless a corvette happens to show up this week, which I doubt). Regardless of that I will be there though with Ryan mainly to support his ride and the other domestics we hope will be there. I think the show entry fee is $10 or something like that, and the show is from 10 AM to 4 PM. They usually give out awards near the end. Just look for the awesome T-Red SVT and you've found us. Hope you can show or hang out with us. If you are DEFINITELY going to show, let us know so we can get there early and reserve a spot for you.

Directions:

Take 285 to highway 78 West towards stone mountain. Keep heading east on 78 past stone mountain. Nopi is on the left hand side of the road in Snellville. Look for all the show cars. Their website provides a location address and a link so you can enter your own location for driving directions.

Go here to access the NOPI regional site.

><>David<><

Hey guys i,ll be at both so please save 2 spots for me. Afriend of mine is also coming with a phat pontiac sunfire. I,m comin after that 15.07 johnyboy. Can we race each other or do we have to go one at a time. If needed call me #770-560-4366 and this is Chris

I will be at the show, so save me a spot!

Ryan/Brad/John, any details to know about the show? How much $$$? What time to meet? Any car show tips in general (what to bring, etc)?

I got that 2-stage engine cleaning kit the other day and Friday is a holiday for me, so the ride should be looking schweeeet.

Thanks

Matt....I think we're going to try to be there early...show starts @ 10. I'm trying to get in touch with Ryan so we can figure out the details about spaces. I think the entry fee is like $10 or so. Nothing too huge.

Chris,

I'm rooting for you to see if you can break mean green's time. I don't think I'm going to race her anymore because I don't think I can beat my old time without more mods....there's really no point in risking driveline breakage when I'm trying to sell her. It's going to be a michelob night for me...just want to sit back, hang out, and enjoy the action with you guys...maybe do a little bench racing, but that's it. I hope to just let mean green sit there looking all purdy with a for sale sign in the window for some free advertising.

hey wassup ppl!i might make it to both but im not sure i wanna race(control arm bushings r ****,1 cracked rotor,cv axle busted:( and my reason 4 not showing is of course my paint! but the car is running strong and im lovin the konis and eibachs

see u guys friday!if not give me a call
770.309.6506 plz keep me updated on whats happening(my computer will b up soon)

Hmm... Well, I'm not PLANNING on losing my SVT, but the RX8 is REALLY growing on me. And the price looks REAL nice too.

Decisions, Decisions.... :rolleyes:

ok guys ill be there on both days at the times posted. ill need to know what time to be at the nopi thing though. if the show starts at 10:00 what time do we need to meet up there and register our cars. and on friday does it cost $10 to get in and $15 extra to race or $15 to race and get in? im new here but have had my svt for a while (just quit my job on last saturday so i have some time on my hands)
thanks guys
wes

Hey Wesley,

Don?t think I?ve introduced myself yet, I?m Burg? nice to meet you! It?s $15.00 race and watch, or $10.00 to just watch. Bring a little extra though as we usually have a few beers afterward. John and I are both pretty experienced with the CSVT and the drags, so you should be able to hit the ground running with a little instruction.

BTW guys? I?m still number 2 in the GA-CEG standings with a 15.545! :p :rolleyes:

Looking forward to meeting you guys!
