Welcome to the Import Showdown Official Site

The Import Showdown is the southeast hottest sportsman drag racing event.  Our event is by enthusiasts, for enthusiasts.  We offer a unique mix of test and tune runs (open, non competition) with sportsman focused competitions.  We offer classes that appeal to novices and daily drivers, all the way to serious competitors.

Our event is open is any make or model vehicle, import or domestic, running any setup, as long as they meet track safety requirements for Test and Tune.  Competitions have cylinder, driveline, power adder, tire, and other regulations.  We also allow motorcylces to run Test and Tune.

The Import Showdown is put on by volunteer members of GA DSM.  The event is not for profit, as 95+% of all funds are turned back into the event.

Long Pants, Helmets, Safety Rules

 

As with all Import Showdowns (and any other event at an NHRA sanctioned track) long pants are required for ALL racers. Every year in the Spring, the weather gets warm and the shorts come out. If you are racing, be sure to bring long pants. Even if just to wear while making passes In addition, NHRA safety requirements are enforced, including helmets for those with times quicker than 13.99. Please note that safety rules are enforced by the track and you must adhere to all track officials requests.

A Few Final Notes on Spring 2008

 

A few final thoughts on the Spring 2008 - we are expecting beautiful weather tomorrow. Partly cloud and highs in the low 80s. Should be perfect weather for Drag Racing! However, with the nice weather, don't forget the long pants if you are racing. Also, if you are a fan of Road Courses/Track Days, we are going to be giving away a pass to the 2008 Import Showdown Track Day! (The date of the Import Showdown is TBD)
