    there's alot of running for fun around here but most is at the track and what's not at the track it's more of a you gotta know who's who...it's hard just to show up somewhere and automatically know where the guys that like to run are going to be....

    i think atlanta has all the stuff you could find in the other cities, but i also think its harder to find in atlanta...IMO "the scene" overall has kinda been getting diluted with 16 year olds with intakes who swear they can outrun an 800hp supra; kinda ruins it for everyone. but as far as just "running for fun" you can go out in a powerful and find people to run you all night long. its all out there, you might just have to weed through some shit before you find it...

    the show scene on the other hand: i think atlanta and the south east has the show scene on lock minus the LA area on the other coast...but honestly that's just from what i see from coverage

    but i do see a lot of potential for atlanta to have a "re-birth" into the scene as a whole...there's no doubt in my mind that its been back on the downhill for the past couple years or so

    honestly i wouldn't waste your time a barrett if you are trying to get a good idea of the scene...you'd be better off putting 2 TV side by side and watch both F&F movies at the same time, getting your neighbor bounce his car off the redline 20 times in a row, then go run one of the stop light cameras so you can get your ticket...it'd at least save some gas and time

    gwinnetts a good/bad place. Some nights its hopping and no harassment from the cops.. other nights they follow us around and some nights there isnt much out. Last night , for example, was great. There were a lot of people of at BP and we got run off and regrouped somewhere else and didnt get bothered the rest of the night (a good 3hrs in one spot)

    I dont get too many races in the Miata :/
