    Default ATTN MEMBERS: THOSE WHO CARE ABOUT THE SITE/SCENE!!! F*ck Motorsport Nationals!!!

    I DON'T NORMALLY ASK PEOPLE TO RALLY BEHIND THE SITE NORMALLY I DON'T GIVE A SHIT. BUT LAST YEAR I WAS TOLD BY SO MANY PEOPLE "SUPPORT IT FOR THE SCENE"

    F*ck Motorsport Nationals!!!

    ^ PLEASE SHARE OPINIONS. YOU WANT TO GET THE SCENE BACK IN ATLANTA? SITES/CREWS LIKE IA NEED TO TAKE A STAND AND LET PROMOTERS KNOW WE HAVE A VOICE!

    Has IA ever thought about throwing a show?

    I mean you have people from every walk of life on here.

    people who promote, shops, etc...
    I'm just that guy that spends all his time printing.... T-shirts, banners, vinyl, etc.

    I think IA is big enough to have it's own little pre-arranged meet. The point would be to have all the vendors get together and put on a show and sell some parts. No charge for members, $5 for non-members - burnout contest, bikini contest etc. Have all your sponsors come up with their product so they can talk about them, and even sell them on the spot. So members can get a small discount with the vendors and get some sales going. Maybe someone with a mobile dyno can sell pulls too - just another thing to do.

    i agree! mm how about the GA dome parking where Import Alliance 09 was held? or GA motor speed way? both have ample parking for all IA members and pple that just want to go see. if this idea ever gets off the ground it'l b awsome!

    you say bbq one more time and ill be camping outside 1 day prior.lol. but i agree with you, as long as its IA family+ vendors. even though we all have our little "e-fights" i think we (I) would feel very comfortable just hangin out with some IA family and eatin some bbq.

    Hold an event.. promote the hell out of it and give a name that's similar to their name



    What venues do we have that can hold a big event? I'm sure with some wise advertising/promoting a "IA" show could be done. Hell, I'm sure everyone will be asking if NOPI will be doing it again, get NOPI to promote/forward show details about something like this.

    Man, too bad we don't have any airports around here to host a show in the hangers and set up a porta-tree and have some runs on the strip
    (I only get this idea because there are some SCCA solo events that are held at airstrips..but the occupancy of such areas are unknown to me)

    Fuck them, looks like IA has brought alot of people and excitement to the car scene, not only ATL, but surrounding areas. I wouldn't advertise fuckers like them anyways, fuck them, man.

    I'm down for a big IA meet, I got a few people who will come, I'm also willing to help with stuff.
