Depends on what part of TN... East TN has US129 as well as a bunch of other mountain roads. Nashville has a good rotary scene. Memphis has... well, Knoxville and Nashville have stuff to do. We are lacking in decent racetracks though.

We're kinda snobs in Mid TN. We don't give a **** about Civics or other riced out imports. Thats why we don't ever go anywhere. But we meet up as a group quite often.

yea, Nashville is not really a big car scene. and yea, there are modded 7's rolling around Nashville. Mine's currently down waiting on my 20B to get here, but i know for a fact that there are several others that have had work done.

Besides, i'm a little distracted with my new 8... i love the car.

Car Show

Anyone going to Roses drive in this weekend? Me, Alex, and Jeff will be there in the 7s. Trying to get more to go, especially since this is the first Fri. I've had off in a long time!

Where is Roses, what time, and what's playing? feel free to call me about it if you want. I may or may not be able to go.

Roses car show

Didn't mean an actual drive in movie, a car show. I just thought everyone else called it that. Oh well, if any one is down to go maybe we could meet up, get a bite to eat, and cruise on up there. Well that reminds me now, i think everyone calls it the cruise in.

Where is it, what time and i'm always down for food....
I'll just bring the 8.

My motor just left Yokohama on the 25th... late, but at least it's on it's way.

EDIT:
I should have read my PM's They informed me where it was...

I used to hang out DT when everyone was off 8th... that was about 3 years ago though. We always had close to 50~100 cars out from 10~3am.

Also, I don't really like drag racing. Personal preference. At least it's better than NASCAR.

There the Motorplex Street Drags on Fridays. Its a heads-up, no-times eighth mile drag. Nothing serious, but fun. My TII/GSL-SE is highly competive in the import class.

20b??? lmao!

last i talked to david i'm the only one in nashville with one.. XD (kinda... it's in the process of shipping.) I'm sure you're being sarcastic... gota love the net for not making sarcasm easy to follow.

there's actually a track in GA that i found out about not so long ago... i think it's a 2.5 mile run, but it's mostly a high speed kinda course. no tight twisties.

Stuff comes up every once in a while, but I'm always too lazy or busy to do it. So I usually end up stuck with my 240 friends...
