Commerce is the Atlanta track it is north on I 85 they hosted the NHRA Souther Nationals there last week...if it doen't rain this week the track will be in its best condition of the whole year..the NHRA does the prep on it for the nationals ..when the crew at Commerce does it it sucks for traction ..cheep phuchs...they act like VHT is made out of platinum.. there is going to be a test and tune night I think on friday and then on sat nite Year One has a car show at their place at I 85 North and Ga highway 53 exit..if you go to their car show you can run at the track at 9 o'clock you should be able to make a lot of passes on that nite ..cause the track is closed to everyone else except for the people that particpated in the year one show..

wELCOME TO THE CARPET CAPITAL OF THE WORLD!!!!!!!! Yeah I know your excited moving to this big city. There is not much goin on around here. Like others said, Brainerd is a good track, it is 1/8th mile track in Ringgold,GA about 20 minutes away. For the most part theres not much goin on as far as cruisin or gathering in dalton. Most people go to Chattanooga or elsewhere to cruise. There is a cruise in every second saturday of the month held in the downtown district. Are you movin to dalton? Maybe i'll see you around. Have fun and good luck here
