View Full Version : Atlanta, GA - 4th Annual Georgia Tech Auto Show, March 31!!!
I can't believe it's already here again.
PARKING IS FREE FOR EVERYONE!!!
This car show is FREE to attend, so come out and see lots of sweet rides! You know that there will be nice cars to drool over...we all know GT alum rake in the dough!!
It's going to be Saturday March 31, 2007 on the Georgia Tech Campus in downtown Atlanta. For the past three years it has been held in the parking lot adjacent to the Student Center. The show runs from 10:00AM until about 4:00PM. Motor vehicles of all types owned by students, former students, faculty, staff, alumni, fans, and corporate sponsors of Georgia Tech will be on display. Classic antique cars, late model modified cars, 4x4 off road trucks, hot rods, cars modified with alternative power delivery (electric, fuel cell), daily-driven transportation, kit cars, race cars, concept cars, prototype cars, and all kinds of motorcycles will be there for your viewing pleasure. There's even a Student Beater class, where the biggest piece of junk takes home the prize (I lost by a narrow margin last year in this class in my beat ass 4-door).
Each year the show has gotten progressively better. Two years ago someone showed up with a pulse-jet engine on a go-kart. Last year Ferrari Club of Atlanta came out with some stunning vehicles.
I'll be entering my 1991 Honda Beat in the "green" vehicle class this year, so come out and support! If you are a GT student or alum, enter a vehicle!

so this year it is open to all to enter
It *IS* open to non GT faculty/student/alum, but they are HEAVILY stressing to only enter if you have a rare vehicle (if you're not GT related). They don't want this thing to be the hugest car show in GA.
YOU WILL HAVE TO PAY FOR PARKING
What? Parking is FREE. The student center deck will be cleared for the show (no students or faculty allowed to leave their cars there), and it's very big (3.5 levels of parking). There will also be free non-ticketed parking along Ferst Street and Tech Pkwy. I'm sure that there will be plenty of space.

Yes, if you have an exotic or a rare or very old import (Honda S600, Mazda RX-3, Toyota 2000 GT) then I'm sure they'd love to have you enter it.
If you want to enter and are unsure if you should, email Sterling Skinner and ask him - he's the one that organizes the show every year. his email is:

Why? That's why it attracts such high quality cars, if you let anyone in, eventually the higher end cars would stop showing up. I think it's a good idea. Plus it's hosted by Tech so it makes good sense.
ShooterMcGavin
02-08-2007, 12:00 PM
i don't think it's just for students, but those ppl/family/alumni associated with the school. don't see why that's gay at all, keeps the turnout from blowing way the fuck up and hopefully keeps a lot of the big wings, big kits folks home.

I think it may be open to non-students this year, there's a box in the registration form for 'Tech Fans'. This show is normally on a smaller scale with not as many modified cars but a lot of stock luxury/exotic cars and a lot of concepts/race cars that Tech alums are associated with. The last 2 years they had a Ferrari engineer and the head Ford GT40 engineer (both Tech grads) lecture on the design process behind the cars, this year its for the designer of the PT Cruiser (I'll pass on this one).

I can sure as hell kick a bulldog to the curb.
I'd say if the build on the lowrider is good they should allow it, somebody had to engineer that airbag suspension or hydraulics right? 99% chance it was some grey haired 60yr old white guy who invented them. There are always a bunch of classics, I dont see how your car would be any different; I think my friend is bringing his classic hearse (black with flames going down the whole thing) out to the show.
9 days away. If you're a student on campus, (weather permitting) I'll have the Beat on the student center walkway handing out flyers for the car show on Friday 03/30 between about 10AM and Noon.

Turn-out was pretty nice. My favorites were the 1968 Chevrolet Camaro with the LS1, the Maserati Bora, and of course...that little Honda Beat. Nice meeting you Dax :goodjob:.
Thanks - it was nice meeting everyone. I was surprised at how much attention my car drew sitting amidst all those Porsches!

That's probably because people have seen Porsches before. I doubt many people have seen a Honda Beat outside of Gran Turismo 2.
