    Default Any clubs in Athens?

    Any of you guys know of any clubs in the Athens, GA region? I have thought about starting one up here and need to know if anyone on IA is in one.

    I recently opened Majestic Modifications (www.majesticmodifications.com) and I am thinking of initiating Team Majestic.

    I have a few cars I have helped build around the Columbus, Atlanta, and Athens areas, and I am building my F-150 flareside. I am currently developing strategies to open my shop later this year in Athens, GA.

    Team Majestic will have several categories for show/speed/street applications.

    Any suggestions or current Athens car club members out there?

    Club activity in those areas and surrounding were outlawed back in the late 1980's. Due to a rise in popularity of mini-trucks and the Iran hostage situation, federal and state officials decided it would be better if clubs were not allowed to exist in these and other areas across the country. In fact, it was two weeks after Back To The Future 3 came out when the actual bill was signed into Congress by representative Alfred E. Neuman. He stated that it was that movie that convinced him to go ahead with the law. Later, QD.

    There are a few of us with RSX's here in Athens and we meet with a lot of guys from ATL a lot. Do installs and stuff like that.
