Atlanta, GA Subscribers?
I'm interested in finding people in the area that are into the "Pro-Touring," auto x hobby. I'd like to swap ideas, get to know the ins and outs of the local auto x scene. My current project is a 68 chevelle, posted pics on the way. Anyone out there ?

I'm in Lilburn, Lawrenceville area. I haven't autocrossed in a few yrs do to a bad trans and overheating problem but I'm hoping to get back into it soon.
There are 2 factors in Autocross, Tires and the loose nut behind the wheel.

I'm in Acworth, about 30 miles north of Atlanta. Customer projects have put my personal ones on hold somewhat, but my specialty is pro-touring type builds. Stop by sometime if you get a chance! I always enjoy talking to board members. Jeff Tate, one of the moderators, works about 3-4 miles from my shop at Day's Chevrolet.

Im really stoked at the positive feedback from everybody here! I need to down load some of my pics. Ive got a pretty well finished ride. Caught the "pro-street" bug and am working on changing things up a little. Ditch the bench seats, find a 8.5" posi unit, things like that. You?

Its OE, out of a very low mileage LT1 (35K or so). I only replaced it because I wanted a 383. Its 3.48, but one piece rear main, so it won't work in your early 2 piece seal block.

I'm a little north of you up in Woodstock. Check out http://www.soloatlanta.com/ for the local auto cross scene. I only did one event with them last year, but seems like a good group of people. Only saw one older vehicle since it was more of a "come try auto cross" kind of an event. The PT events are a must! You will have a great time with some amazing people and learn so much about the sport that sometime doesn't translate through pictures. Oh ya, you can usually get a ride in some awesome cars too!
