IMPORT SHOWDOWN MAY 2ND, 2010

**gastroker** · 03-07-2010, 08:14 PM

GADSM’s Import Showdown is scheduled for Sunday May 2nd at Silver Dollar Raceway in Reynolds Georgia.

This event is open to every car and bike, import or domestic. It is an event put on by enthusiasts, for enthusiasts and has classes that will accommodate all types of set ups with races that range between our all motor class (usually high 12’s to low 13’s) to the competitive Showdown class (usually <10’s) as well as plenty of test and tune time in between.

We are pleased to announce a new class for V8 Imports! Please spread the word and lets make this new class fun and exciting for all!

Competition rules are posted here.
http://www.importshowdown.com/Competitions.html

Please read and review these rules carefully! We have ramped up tech inspection even more and will be closely monitoring these rules to the letter. Cheaters will NOT BE TOLERATED

For more information about the event, visit

Pre-registration is now open and a tech card discount is applied to those who pre-register

Each class for I.S. is now sponsored! This is a great new way for our sponsers to get their name out even more and bring more traffic to the event. The more who attend, the greater the prize pool.

Looking forward to seeing all of you there this Spring for an exciting time!

We have a lot of big name sponsors coming down this time to participate in setting up booths and racing. This is going to be the best Showdown GA DSM has put on yet.

**gforce71** · 03-07-2010, 08:24 PM

I can't wait!

**Motivation** · 03-07-2010, 08:27 PM

I'll be there to help, Mike. Looking forward to it. This event is always big!

**gastroker** · 03-07-2010, 09:08 PM

Hey man, the pay out will be pretty good. The Showdown class pays more than the other classes as always. Exact amounts are never certain, as attendance plays a big part in the prize money.

**SPOOLIN** · 03-07-2010, 09:18 PM

awesome good stuff!

**SOHC1** · 03-07-2010, 09:41 PM

**gastroker** · 03-09-2010, 10:34 PM

Import Showdown is run by volunteers and entheusists. Sponsor money helps pay for the event it self and everything that goes with it including pay outs.
It's to have fun a and some competition. And win a little cash too.

Unfortunately, this is not at the NHRA level you're hoping for. But, maybe if enough fans and racers keep supporting it....it can grow to something more.

**Lusos** · 03-18-2010, 04:43 PM

I can't wait for the Showdown this year. Though I will not have the money to race, my Isuzu will surely be done in time for the fall.

Will the GNX's be making a comeback this time?

**coreypel07** · 05-01-2010, 06:03 PM

so if I get there around two will I still be able to race?

**NEMO** · 03-10-2010, 06:47 AM

i should be out for the all motor class

**DarKStaR** · 03-10-2010, 09:06 AM

JJSpec is sponsoring the FWD class and we have 5-6 cars that will be racing in about 3 different classes.

**turbodave** · 03-10-2010, 10:26 AM

Great to have a Import V8 class. Now all you Import V8 owners can run in a class.

Aww man, I'm sorry. This is our first year doing any form of V8 class. If the response is good, we may look at expanding the class for future events.

it's cool man....i've been going to IS for as long as I can remember, sometimes in "imports" and other times not...ya'll just discriminating against us a v8 guys, lol, my cars imported my motors not, but focus' cobalts, cavaliers, srt4's, etc are allowed to run

of course if you were to run the races off of vin #'s it would disqualify about 95% of the honda guys anyway

**Evolunchbox** · 03-10-2010, 01:56 PM

Looks like some great sponsors are coming this year as well! Very nice!

HAHA, you're telling me! Although, the Bushwacker trans withstood close to 2 years of NLS'ing Mexico fun. It did not like the slicks so much though.

Are you run?

Na, if I still have my car it would be ready, but I am going to help with Tech Inspection... So, be ready to slip me a $50 so I pass you.

Although not a two year reign, these are what I received two out of the three tries in FWD class.

I'm planning on attending but I'm not sure yet if I'll be racing. With 172,000+ miles on the odometer now, the odds of my Neon letting out its magic smoke is greater. I don't want to be 150 miles away from home when it happens

but we shall see when qualifying comes around. LOL. :boobies:

Oh snap! That is impressive! I hope you are able to race to make it 3! If you do it with 172,000 on with odometer, I will buy you a case of beer!

**slostang** · 03-10-2010, 04:26 PM

**ANGEL0710** · 03-10-2010, 05:56 PM
