Import Showdown, Reynolds GA, Sept 27th

GADSM’s Import Showdown is scheduled for Sunday September 27, 2009 at Silver Dollar Raceway in Reynolds Georgia.

This event is open to every car and bike, import or domestic. It is an event put on by enthusiasts, for enthusiasts and has classes that will accommodate all types of set ups with races that range between our all motor class (usually high 12’s to low 13’s) to the competitive Showdown class (usually <10’s) as well as plenty of test and tune time in between.

Competition rules have been modified this year, we heard your wants and hopefully answered them. It is the racers responsibility to read the rules prior to entering their class as there have been changes and assumptions made in the past. Specifically we have changed to tire restrictions and it should now compliment the racers and the tech inspects.

We have modified the staging area to be more accessible to the racers during the competition. Test and Tune will see much more time with the staging lanes being open during down time in the competition. Tech inspection will be near the staging lanes elimination much of the congestion from previous events. We are avidly working on streamlining the traffic, tech inspections, maximizing the amount of time that racers can spend going down the track.

Sponsorship opportunities available; See website for details.

Pre-registration opens September 1st .

I think I will head out to this for some test & tune runs. Too bad I cant compete in any of the classes though.
