ATTN MEMBERS: THOSE WHO CARE ABOUT THE SITE/SCENE!!!

[BMooreZ28]

shit im from jacksonville, al 2 hours away, and me an my buddies get on ia every day

hell ia's the reason we find all of our parts and come atl every weekend to buy and sell shit lol
we would def be down to come to a meet or somethin and get to know everybody better

Yeah man, thats what I mean, IMPORTATLANTA is not just for ATL, for surrounding areas, more people will join.

[Julio]

You know how I feel about them......

[HypnoToad]

great idea

[tdurr]

sooo im down for a huge meet/event thing lol.

Air strip is a good idea.... I know ptc has a lot of airstrips.. but prob none big enough for a good show.

I say a poll needs to be made once a few locations are picked out so we can all vote on where it should be held.

PTC IS A BAD IDEA. VERY BAD IDEA. I LIVE THERE I WOULD KNOW. PLUS FALCON FEILD IS AN ACTIVE AIRPORT. I know who would be willing to host. Though Allspeed will. But why not do it at a race track like seonia speedway.

Yea but the problem with that is that theres absolutely no room to do it there. If you've been to a V-Meet then you can pretty much gurantee this being a lot bigger than that. I have to agree whoever suggested a county fairground. It cant be that expensive to rent out for a day or two would provide ample parking space and space for vendors etc. Although I also have to concur that a race track would be cool as well but your limited to either going way the fuck up to commerce or all the fuckin way down to Reynolds.

[Firefightin_tC]

I think a huge IA meet/greet/show would be a great idea.

It'll show how big the scene in Atlanta really is.

Regardless, all I need is a time and date...and I'm down, plus I'm bringing my troops with me.

[browningboy7]

So many great ideas in this thread, Keep em coming!

[Got Milk?]

I stated many times that we should have monthly IA meets. But i always got bashed. And the bashing was something along these lings: "Are you stupid, thousands of people would show up, we would never find a parking lot for that many people".

[blaknoize]

I'll advertise up here. We in Ohio have no scene, but I have some willing to come down and show some support (after seeing the pics of the V-meets) they are really eager.

If u have cards so I can pass around of course, bitches is lazy without proof

[aguynamedpat]

I know Summits parking lot isnt that epic, but they have always been willing to work with locals. I know GADSM had a meet there this past spring that was pretty big, and Summit didnt charge us to use the parking lot. I bet you could get a couple hundred cars in the parking lot and still allow ample parking for customers.

Im sure if you asked everyone to chip in a buck or two (or for donations/sponsorship) you could grab some hot dogs, chips, drinks, shit like that. And make it free to get in. Plan it for the same weekend too, just like you guys are saying.

Hmm, now Im curious if Summit would work?! Or you could check with local colleges/universities. I bet I could get the parking lot at Gwinnett Tech, especially with the member base we have here, we could meet their requirements of Security/Trash/Clean up, all that shit...

[aguynamedpat]

Or how about a county park? They cannot kick you out if you follow all the rules. You could do it on that Sunday when no games are going on, and you could have a big cookout/soccer/football/baseball/basketball game. I know Bethesda's parking lot is HUGE, and the park itself is huge and very nice, we go hit baseballs up there once a week or so. Its got everything from baseball to basketball, football, soccer, all that stuff. And a HHHUUUGGGEEE parking lot suitable for probably 300 cars id guess. And thats just the parking lot at the baseball field, that doesnt include the parking over by soccer or up top by adult softball fields. Or the parking back by the football field either!

As long as you are not breaking any rules they cannot kick you out, because you pay for that park as a taxpayer. So no ricers doing burnouts and no loud music. Other than that, I dont see why they can kick you out.

[JITB]

i dont think IA itself uses its popularity for any gain as much as it should. Especially when 99.6% of the meets in GA spawn from IA. And theres 1 IA meet/function a year, thats a hour away. Getting people to come out is never a problem, even if there isnt anything to do. People just want to be seen in their cars, and meet other people. Everything else is extra, and the forums morale comes from meeting people in person, there are plenty of locations, and plenty of people willing to come out and support IA. Monthly meets would be nice..or just put a stake in the ground at the Varsity.. and claim that shit for IA.

[aguynamedpat]

Lets get every member on IA to donate $10.

Then we can just buy the damn Varsity.

[Elbow]

That would give us about $360,000.

[FasTech]

I'd be down for a IA meet. Just maybe do it somewhere kinda in the middle of everyone. Like maybe take a vote to see where everyone lives and based on the majority, between the two in the middle is where we could meet. I don't mind traveling alittle ways but me and about 20 other members live in the Warner Robins/Macon area and meeting in Rome or some other place thats like 3hrs+ drive... I couldn't make it.

[NAMNORI]

Hey Paul/Julio/any mod that can make big decisions, you guys can pm me or give me a call and we can dicuss advertising for your event. Admin and i have discussed this a few times for other stuff. Please shoot me a message.

[Motivation]

Import Atlanta is actually listed as one of the contacts on the ASAPcarclub.com website. So, those who check the website and see it can click and it brings it to the homepage. I am sure there are a lot more people willing to support it, also. Also, Paul, lmk if you need someone to get the word out on anything. Have a connection that does marketing and is hooked up with 96.1, can get us different vendors for shows, and live music. lmk man.

[Firefightin_tC]

Atlanta Motor Speedway.

Or Road Atlanta.

[aguynamedpat]

I think the big thing is Paul was trying to find a FREE place to hold the meet. Hell we could all throw out places that would gladly RENT us a parking lot, Paul wanted to make it free to everyone to sway them to come to this meet instead of the B.S. wannabe Nopi.

[§treet_§peed]

tuner splash ftw lulz

[aguynamedpat]

Have they trademarked that name?

Call our shit:

MOTORSPORTS ATLANTA

lulz

[SandM]

i would definately be down, as would a few of my friends. Southeastern Supermeet ftmfw

[dabuilding]

hey paul any real ideas on this happening yet man lmk

[MINI]

I would be completely down for a massive IA meet. I would def pay also

[XanRules]

There's a scene?
What?

[tdurr]

^^ true story. I really havent seen a "scene" cpt from the IS boys running around like a highschool pack picking on someone.

I am on of the people who tries to make it out to everything i can, i tell friends and drag them to shows trying to get some ppl who would really be there to help.

I kinda feel the scene is now more show then "go". I never really hear of races spawning from meets(cpt random high way pulls). If i had a simi quick car and money id make tons of call outs just cuz.
my $0.02

[quickdodge®]

Who cares? That's a good thing. That's less idiots doing like the quote below me.

If this is true, I'd have to include you in the "I'd laugh my ass off if you wrapped your car around anything" attitude. Later, QD.

lol never saw this. I said anything about races spawning from meets is because originally meets spawned from racing.
Think about it. What is the point of having a quick/fast DD or car at all if you are never going to put your foot down on it? Its human nature to be competitive. I'm talking about track call outs too. Dont hear of it too much at all, accept with the Its stock crew. they are a different story tho.

And u gotta remember, i never said id be racing on or off the street if my car was quick, nor did i say it would be in a straight line or have alot of turns. Hell it could be a cross country thing for all you know, don't make assumsptions about everyone QD

[quickdodge®]

That's what tracks are for. If you can't control yourself, you shouldn't be messing with it.

don't make assumsptions about everyone QD

I read the below quote that you made:

If i had a simi quick car and money id make tons of call outs just cuz.

and I realize that there isn't much room left for assumptions. It's right there in gray and white. I don't know. Later, QD.

[jr4mny]

id be down for a big IA meet to get to know ppl ive talked to for a couple years now..
do something for the summer, we could do something in tribble mill park, lawrenceville...there is shit loads of paking, places for bbqs and pavillions and a couple lakes! even have a field where vendors could setup and what not...maybe even a track..

whatever that is decided im down to represent

[MattB]

I'd love to see a large IA sponsored meet. and I'd be willing to pay an entrance fee or whatever to help support the site/costs for such events. IA has always been one of my favorite sites to visit and would def come out to a show/gathering/etc.

[tdurr]

lol u missed my point/i just started rambling. I never said street or track about call outs.
hehe but it all would depend on the tires i had on the car if it was gonna be street roll or at a track.

[quickdodge®]

hehe but it all would depend on the tires i had on the car if it was gonna be street roll or at a track.

And if chose street, I'd choose to laugh at your funeral. Later, QD.

[tdurr]

^^ good to know.
but anyways, anyone gonna get a official IA meet going or we just gonna dream about it?

[Tracy]

They called me yesterday. I told them they made a big mistake. Call me Paul when you have a minute and we will discuss. Too much to type here.

I have a fair amount of money put aside to collaborate on an event. I just don't want to do them alone anymore.

[tdurr]

^^ ill help lol.
