    Default Varsity, BP, Sonic, etc (downfall/future of meets)

    Back in the day we used to meet at a shop off of buford hwy called Hybrid later we used to pack out the lot so much that you couldn't get cars in/out. Then we moved to Toys R Us meets which were massive 200+ cars/bikes, Vdub guys claimed Varsity 1st thursday of every month then other groups followed suit, Park n Ride for the street racers, North point/Target started with the weekly meets, BP for the ricers/racers, and finally Sonic....

    Almost every place our scene has started and moved too has been shut down due to idiots burning out, drag racing, littering, fights, etc. If we were able to lock down a Meeting place at a shop every Friday or Sat night who would be down for starting a new tradition. If we went back to a shop lot we can't get kicked out and we can kick out the trouble makers.

    anyone?

    That sounds like a good idea! I always heard about the crazy Toy's R Us meets. Wish I would known about it back then.

    Interesting. This sounds like a great idea for IA folks and people that are into the whole hanging out thing. But for the street racers it might not be so "cool" as some of you will call it. I would go, just to hangout alittle and see if anyone, which im sure they won't be. But be down to run, of course even though we will have some decent cars if this goes down. We will also have ricers.

    ***WE DO NOT SUPPORT STREET RACING***

    with that said every meet we have done has generated such actions... sh!t i loved hanging out and riding w/ the street crowd. they are the guys that normally know their rides. either way a new hang out would be a good point for those to meet and not get in trouble. i'm not saying that the shop we will have it at will endorse street racing but i don't think we could control what anyone does outside of their property.

    AAP/R2B2 has a HUGE parking lot. They are in an old car dealership now.... There is a guy on IA that comes to the Gwinnett meet every week and his dad runs the shop there. They are also a customer of mine. Its next to gwinnett place mall... maybe i can work something out???

    If thats the case than this new meet will be full of IA queers and people with slow ass rides. Lolol. But whatever im down for whatever, either way it should be interesting to see how this little idea turns out.

    waa waa the spike mischief maker wants to run with the big kids... it happens regardless but IA has never supported street racing...

    on that note: yeah i'm totally down for when i move back or even come back to hang out, cause i would hate to come back for a weekend of fun, only to see that no one meets up anymore... so i'm down for whatever! and the Toys R us meets were awesome, and the NP meets used to be HUGE...

    I should be allowed to shoot those who do burnouts like that.

    Maybe we should just walk around with open carries (for those that can). Perhaps stuff wouldn't escalate if they knew...hmmm.

    Im not even going to try to explain it to you. What for, it would be like trying to explain to a dog not to smell its own shit but in the end of the day, its just not gonna happen. Im sure these meets would be all fun and dandy for all the slow online geeks. So go for it, im gonna laugh at all the ricerness so it would be entertaining for me either way.

All people now a days have guns, I've seen people pull it out numerous times and nothing ever happens. Its a nice toy to stop trouble, but why would there be any of this meet will be started cause of IA?

    I said that it was a joke, Maniac. I was trying to generate a few laughs...but, n/m. I guess it feel short of the mark.

    I had an image in my head of people walking around with guns on their hips and rifles slung over their shoulders...it humored me.

    Glad I could help. But guns and people walking around with a loaded gun, isn't something someone should consider a "joke".

    If they are all legal, I have no real fears.

    A legally armed society is typically a more "polite" society. Just look at Kennessaw...

    The majority of IA meets are filled with 100-250whp cars. Some are quick some aren't.

    This is true.
    i'm talking about your numbers not everyone elses... i always find it funny everyone bashing each others rides... if someone takes a 15s car and gets 13s out of minor bolt on then that is impressive no matter what the ride... when someone buys a 13s ride and runs 13s that isn't impressive.

    i'm sure i could build a car for 1/2 the price then your new WRX that would destroy it in the 1/4 or on road course. apples to oranges.

    I do like the idea of another V style meet

    Maniac why do you always have to turn something into my car is faster than yours thing, and/or always announcing street racing in almost any thread that that has anything to do with car meets? I think it is common knowledge that you like to run your car and you dont like hanging out in park lots. Also everyone has to start somewhere

    Maybe we should just walk around with open carries (for those that can). Perhaps stuff wouldn't escalate if they knew...hmmm.

    Yeah yeah we get it. Does EVERY post have to point out you are all for carrying guns? Nobody thinks you are a badass because of it.

    IA meets are sort of impossible since there are thousands of people that are just dumb that you wouldnt want to hang out with anyway.

    Why dont the people on here from while back just call each other and hang out? Thats what I do when I want to exclude retards.
