Will,

When are you arriving? We are planning a cruise in the GA hills on Dec 1st. That may be too early for you but let us know. There are a number of car clubs around the area. Do you know what area you will be locating?.... "the ATL" is a big place....

The dragstrip is in Commerce, I'm hoping to make it down there some next spring. It's a 1 1/2 hour drive for me, I'm in upstate SC. I've been around the Charlotte,NC crowd a little more than the Atl area, but I hope to get to know more of them next year. Also Road Atlanta is just off the Braselton exit on I-85 and they seem to have some good meets there, haven't been to one yet myself, but looking forward to next year. Anyway welcome to the south

Aside from a few guys at Caffeine and Octane, I haven't found a whole lot going on in ATL. (I don't do much at the drag strip) Any of you car club guys want to share some more info?

Along with commerce you can always go to Silver Dollar. The F body guys always hold their meets down there. I would always gain a tenth or so there over commerce so I always liked it more
