Fall GA 3S/GA DSM Track Day and Import Showdown - Oct 10th

That's right, it's time for the Track Day to return for the Fall. We are returning to Silver Dollar Raceway for the second time this year. This event will be similar to years past, with a mix of open runs and competitions. We've added some additional classes to the Fall Track Day to "test" them for next year. However, we are also going to change the way we do qualifying so hopefully the amount of time spent on qualifying/competitions and open runs will be the same as the Spring Track Day.

We're also holding a social event/cookout on the Saturday before in the Macon area for those coming in from out of town and staying at the official hotel in the area.

Here are the details:

What: Competitions and Open Runs
When: Sunday, October 10th
Where: Silver Dollar Raceway - Reynolds, GA
Cost: $10 gate entry race or watch, $15 tech cards via pre-registration, $20 tech cards day of the event.
Time: Gates open 10am, racing starts at 11am.

For more details, including classes and rules, hotel information, track information check out the official site: http://www.importshowdown.com

We actually have an event organized for the day before, but since we get so many out of towners we're just going to have it in the Macon area.

Car Show/Cookout/Social starting 1pm Oct 9th in Macon

We'll have other activities such as parties starting Friday night in the area too.

SDR has 1/8 mile gamblers racing and Jr Dragsters running for Sat the 9th, so I'm not sure if they have test and tune passes or not.

You can get race gas at SDR, their gas station will be open during our event.

I did not see it.
I saw a lot of Civic that were impressive, they were running mid 11s.

IHatePorsche,

I loved having you guys out! Definitely always welcome backout to any of our events or get togethers. I do hear ya on the Porsche too. I think a lot of us felt it. He's good friends with the 3Sers though. Plus, bad driving in previous rounds let him into the finals.

Definitely some good runs too, couple of boosted Hondas running mid to low 11s, with the final winner actually running a 11.22. GA DSM's Vice President had his SRT4 on slicks and run 11.9s, plus my friends Shawn Bowen's turboed Z3 ran a 11.6 on ET Streets.

And who could forget the SL65AMG running 11.6s 100% street, pump gas and street tire.

Looking forward to spring.

I had a great time as well. I can't wait for the next one. Hopefully I can get my stuff together and do better than a 12.7
