Import Alliance Spring 09 Meet International AllStars Documentary
Import Alliance Spring 2009 Meet – Atlanta (International AllStars Documentary)
Words by - Tony Nguyen AKA CarbonGS
On April 26th, 2009 Atlanta became host to one of the largest Meets in the South East. Created as a outlet for those who appreciate the grassroots of the car modifying industry. There is everything available for viewing from stock factory form cars to the extreme show competition vehicles you see at shows such as HIN, DUB, and SEMA. There are even weekend warriors present with their home built drift and autocross cars. “One thing that they all have in common is an uncanny understanding of quality workmanship, as well as a desire to utilize the best parts that their budgets will accommodate,” Says the Import Alliance Crew.
Their past events have had impressive participation. In 2006 their first event brought in over 700 cars and approximately 1,500 people and numbers have increased to exceed 1900 cars and approximately 4000 people with attendees coming form more than 30 states!
This year International AllStars was present along side Import Alliance to represent the South East’s modified car demographic. It was a very fun trip for all of us as it also brought together our team that is separated most of the year due to having members in other states. Having the chance to come together and show off our rides without the worries of having to clean the cars and get them judge ready was definitely a great perk however we made sure that we represented as this event to our fullest since it was in our backyard!
So, come along as we document the day from before, during, and after the event – the International AllStars way!
We met up at the local Gwinnett County BP gas station off of I-85 at Pleasant Hill to roll out at 8AM.
Around 8:30 Pete and I started heading down to the Georgia Dome/Georgia World Congress Center Parking Garage to locate our reserved parking and to start setting up.
Before everyone got to the meet!
Once the place filled up, It filled up!!!
We were given prime parking attached to the Import Alliance group so we took our time in setting up and making sure that everything was just right!
After setting up our rides we took some time to rest before walking around to see what everybody brought to the meet!
Nico’s pet snake was a huge hit at this meet!
Ok where is the marathon for the Carlton Banks look-a-likes?
We just got there and he was already taking a smoke break!
