Atlanta! 2005 SELOC Super Show, Sunday, August 14th!!

Good Day,

Well after TONS of hardwork on everyones part, especially JaimerCBR900, we (South Eastern Lexus Owners Club) got permission to use the SAME LOCATION as last year, the D&B in Gwinnett. The meet will start around 10 or 11 am this year and go through the whole night. This is the 5th annual show/meet and we are proud to help share the incredible auto enthusiasm Atlanta and the SouthEast has.

We also will have cruises for people to meet in select spots around the Atlanta Area to cruise to the show together.

We are working hard on having the same incredible shops and sponsors as last year and a few surprises. That means more FREE raffles and items.

Steve (Chappy) led the charge here and we had a beautiful row of Mercedes Benz vehicles in attendance and we hope this number grows this year.

As this meet has grown tremendously in size and expense, we are asking for a very small $5 fee/donation to come enter.

Soon we will have a mini-site like last year for people to sign up on so we can get an approximate headcount.

Expect the SAME high quality cars and high performance cars and high class people that enthusiasts want to come check out.

If you have ANY questions, please PM me or e-mail me at seloc1@gmail.com or come join as at www.seloc.net if you have not already done so.



DIRECTIONS:
Take 85N to Steve Reynolds BLVD. Make a Left at the exit, stay in the left lane. Go down to the 2nd right, make a left into shopping complex. Go straight to the 4-way stop sign. Make a left. DAVE AND BUSTERS in on your right. PLEASE PARK in your car club or car section we will have people assisting you.


Thank You.

Mike

Here are some pics from last years meet.

Thanks Ricky and great work Steve


You must be present to win raffle prizes!!!
The raffles should begin between 4-4:30pm, no later than that. Please, you must be present to win, we are not holding items and we are not shipping anything. We will call out raffle numbers on the ticket and like last year, you have to hand us the ticket to win your prize.

Feel free to trade raffle prizes with other winners.

EVERYONE is invited to attend this free show, there is ample general parking.Here is the list of registered participants.

The charities we will donate part of the proceeds to are
http://www.anysoldier.com/
http://www.gwinnetthumane.com/

We hope to have some awesome pets there available for adoption. The reason we choose these charities, M3bill suggested "anysoldier" which helps our couragous troops and "the gwinnett humane society" because they did some incredible care for JaimeCBR900s pet dogs when they were sick.


Thank you to everyone is has registered to make this event a success!

Unhappy

We have some very, very sad news from one of our major SELOC members, bags. His good friend, Rodney, who registered to come to our show
# Rodney from lawrenceville GA in a 99 mercedes clk 430 - 3 guests(s)

As you can see, he was a Mercedes Benz owner. I am not sure if was a member here. It was a brutal crime

My buddy rodney was shot and killed sunday night on roswell rd in sandy springs he was shot in the head in a parking lot in sandy springs.. he was in his car, no more details

In memory, we will have a closed off parking space in your Benz row for Rodney and a moment of silence will be observed during the show.

People are asking a few questions.
1. "What if it rains"?
Only if it is raining like there is a hurricane, will the show stop. Otherwise, the weather is showing hot, cloudy with the usual scattered thunderstorm. So the show WILL go on.
2. "Is there anything I can bring to help"?
If you want to bring something to this event, we will have various coolers for water and refreshments we distributed last year, so if you want to bring water or refreshements to share with others, that is fine.
3. "Do my guests in my car have to pay"?
No. Registered cars are $5 per car, not per person. Remember, the event is FREE to all attendees. If you do not register, the donation is $15.
4. "What are the charaties"?
The charities we will donate part of the proceeds to are
http://www.anysoldier.com/
http://www.gwinnetthumane.com/
5. "Where will I park"?
We will have our wonderful SELOC members as ambassadors helping direct you on where to park. Please park in a SINGLE space. We have designated rows for the cars and brands to stay together. If you just want to attend the event, you can park in the general parking lot for free.
6. "Is everyone there able to enter the raffle"?
No, only people insde the show/meet with their car, if they paid the $5 or $15, are eligible for the raffle. YOU MUST BE PRESENT TO WIN AT THE RAFFLE. The raffle will begin between 4-4:30 pm
7. "My forum, club etc, doesn't have an invite, or I don't know if my car qualifies, can I come"?
Please contact seloc1@gmail.com if you are unsure. This is a HIGH PERFORMANCE/EXOTIC/LUXURY CAR event. If your ride doesn't fall in one of those categories, then we do not have space for you. This is still a small event and remember it is FREE to attend, there is plenty of space in general.
8. "What time does it end"?
Last year we started closing up around 6pm but many stayed and talked in the lot and hung out afterwards. Many hung inside the Dave and Busters.
9. "Can I leave/enter"?
Yes, you will have wristbands so we know whom can leave/enter with their car. We do not endorse leaving and coming back as we can not guarantee you will keep your parking space. And there will be NO CRUISING in the show. There will be to many people walking around.
10. "Can I take pictures/posing with Miss Black Atlanta"?
Yes, I spoke with her and she is perfectly fine with taking pics with you or on your car, nothing crassy of course.
11.. "What are the surprises"?
You'll see Sunday
12. "When/Where/Whom do I pay"?
When you arrive at the show, we will have an entraceway where we look to see if your registered to determine do you pay $5 or $15. Cash only and please bring exact change if you can. You will get your wristband, raffle ticket and your goodie bag there as well.

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR SUPPORT!!!

Steve, great seeing you again! THanks for all the help. There were some awesome Benzs there, I was talking to my folks today, my mother was happy as a lark to see the SL 500 Convert and my dad was shocked to see the V-12 under the hood of the CL.

People were talking about the Benzs in attendance!! Please, support our sponsors of the show, they help make it happen.

Thanks again!
