Official 2012 Atlanta Car Show & Meet Thread
Hello my fellow Lexus enthusiasts, I love the enthusiasm shown towards the end of 2011 from local Atlanta Lexus owners. I think there is starting to be a resurgence in interest for Lexus enthusiasts coming out to meets and shows, so I wanted to start a thread to list all the shows and meets that will be going on in 2012 to keep the momentum going.
This will be an overall list so people in the Southeast can give a quick look to see what's coming up, then as details for each meet or show is finalized, there will be individual threads for people to sign up for roll calls, caravans, and meet times, etc. If anyone knows of any meets and shows, they are welcome to PM me and I will update this thread. I will start off with listing a few of the big ones, as well as the monthly meets:
Monthly Meets:
Caffeine & Octane
(1rst Sunday of the month in Alpharetta, off Windward Parkway exit of Ga400, Exit 11, lots of high end exotics, luxury, muscle cars, and eccentric sheet metal)
Varsity
(1rst Thursday of the month in downtown Atlanta off North Ave, lots of imports mainly)
Gwinnett Meet
(every Thursday, located at Wild Bill's in front of Gwinnett Mall off Pleasant Hill exit of I-85, mainly imports again)
Annual Meets and shows:
Import Alliance
(sometime this spring, THE BIGGEST AND BADDEST meet of the year, held in downtown Atlanta with over 3,000 cars and counting!!!! This is an entire weekend affair, with many out of state attendees booking hotels, and is only getting bigger!!!!)
UPDATED INFO: We will be holding our Spring ImportAlliance Meet for 2012 at Turner Field in Atlanta on April 22nd. Gates open at 9 a.m. Please follow us on facebook and twitter for up to the minute updates.
Formula Drift
(held at Road Atlanta, featuring the best drifting pros in the country) May 11th and 12th
Petit Lemans
(an international race that's part of the ALMS series, also held at Road Atlanta. We had our first Lexfest event there, arranged and organized by our very own Dave aka DaveGS4, and Mike aka 1Sicklex with Lexus corporate backing the Lexus corral that year. I'd like to organize another Lexfest to coincide with Petit Lemans, with maybe some help again from Lexus corporate to sponsor a Lexus Corral. I've spoken to a couple of people at Hennessey Lexus, so we'll see)
Hennessey Lexus of Gwinnett
(saving the best for last, this was a blast last fall, and hopefully will be an annual meet. Our very own Mike 1Sicklex, again helped arrange this with Frank Mullins at Hennessey Lexus of Gwinnett, with support from a few of the SELOC crew and CL members, this meet was a huge success and there are plans for another one this spring which will be even bigger and better !!!)
Just received an update from Mike, this meet is set for early May. I will post more info as I get it, then we will have a separate thread when details are finalized.
I would also like to mention 2 great Lexus owners that have opened up their businesses to help host meets:
Zen Motors
(Dan Kang is a longtime Lexus enthusiast and owner of Zen Motors and has graciously hosted several meets, even having giveaways, and is open to hosting many more)
Tilted Kilt (John's Creek)
(Bo Kang is another Lexus enthusiast and owner of the TK at John's Creek and has graciously hosted several meets and has thrown in giveaways, reserved seating for us, reserved parking, and discounted food!!)

Bing this is an awesome resource! Thank you!
Yes C&O is early.. If we ever want to park together it would need to be before 8am.. It's from 8-11am and
There is tons of vehicles leaving and coming but at 11 it usually clears out with 90% of the cars gone.
