Not a lot going on in GA, as of late it seems. Maybe I just got old, but I felt like it died out with GAFBA. When that was going we use to meet all the time.

Silver dollar track rentals, always people meeting at Barrett or 985 Park and Ride. Just seemed to always have something going on. I was close to Kennesaw then and we meet like biweekly, would talk junk and usually end up with a highway run between a few cars.

I lived in Sugar Hill so the 985 PnR was our place to chill.

Still here. Still runnin Spartan and doing well.

I do miss the old days of the Georgia car scene. The 90's and early/mid 00's were the best.

Time has past us all by. The Fbody gathering shut down. Cars got older and some may have even started families. Drop by every so often.

I purchased a place in Central GA this last year and I've seen very few F-Bodies. I've debated on taking mine up there and leaving it in the garage to have a fun car while there.
