The 2nd annual Atlanta IFO will be on Sunday, March 28th, 2010 at Atlanta Dragway (tentative). Also, don't miss the 7th annual Montgomery IFO next Sunday, November 1st at Montgomery Motorsports Park!

I think more IFO regulars are saving it for the 7th annual Montgomery IFO. That's always the big event of the year for the area.

If you are a regular and it runs, thou shout not waitith for a future event.

Very true, If you look at another event they have here in the area. The Spring event is always huge. I dont know what it is about fall events. I guess everyone is broke by the fall...

[BLK JDM]

Hopefully you can get a better turnout next season in the fall!! We really appreciate you coming to GA!!

[GhostSTI]

i plan on attending this spring. all the kinks should be worked out of the sti by then

[SPOOLIN]

Hopefully you can get a better turnout next season in the fall!! We really appreciate you coming to GA!!

Well we need to get people to the one in the spring first!!

[josh green]

Yeah, MSS racing should have another car out there on the track for next year as well.

U coming back to racing man?

Hopefully greg and Julio will both have their cars done by the spring event.
Well i know greg will be.

[Vteckidd]

Awesome! I'll be there

[GSRcaucAZN78]

There won't be a Fall ATL IFO in 2010, Spring only. Only reason for Fall this year is because rained out in the Spring.

I meant to say Spring. Sorry I don't know what I was thinking. I remember when it was rained out.

Nah not mine, I wish though. I could run the coupé i bought in a bracket class... NOT! lol

[LeX]

I think one reason for lower turn out was that there were a ton of different events going on that weekend in ATL and surrounding area

[GSRcaucAZN78]

/\ yep, too many events in a short period of time are never good for the scene.

March should be a better time of year for the ATL Import community.

[gastroker]

I'll be there in March and I'll see you in Montgomery next weekend!

[GSRcaucAZN78]

2010 ATL date has been changed to March 21.

[SPOOLIN]

yeah because of the vegas race!

[GSRcaucAZN78]

yep :-D
