Day 1! July 25th

The day started pretty early as I started to tape up my car for another road trip! I met up with a few friends from Team ELITE and Club Lexus. Automan (Mark) and two of his Alabama crew came over to join us on Operation Blue Tape! We tried to figure out Automan’s battery issues, which we later determined was due to a bad battery, and then rolled over to R2B2 Motors in Duluth, GA. (Please excuse the mess, they are renovating) We rolled pretty deep. We had a supercharged Lexus GS300, NA Lexus GS300, Volkswagen Passat 1.8t, NA Lexus SC300, Supercharged Acura TL, and a trailored turbo Toyota Supra. These pictures are a collaboration of CarbonGS and Rollininstyle2004’s pictures and documentary.

We finally made it to Hooter’s of Chattanooga where we found VIP parking spaces

 

We all ate and met up with G-perz and 8MYCASH on SSI. Talked for a little bit and headed out for roll in





Traffic sucked bad. We had mad parkage on the highway



We are in TN, GA, then back in TN again!





Pretty scenic drive the whole way

 

Yes, this sign does say, “Falling Rocks”! Needless to say we got the heck out of there quick!



Stayed in the 80’s the whole way through the mountains and that made for a few cool pics

 

Jordan and Mark went at it a couple of time, I kid, I kid!

















Then my gas light came on so we all pulled in to get some more fuel



We arrived at the gates around 7:30 PM-ish. Had to sit outside to be classified and registered. This is what we looked like in the marshalling yard

 

More to come tomorrow from inside the show!!

 

that was funn i will post mine tomorrow

 

i am still uploading pictures lol

 

More Pics!!!!!

 

Hitting up the town after roll in was definitely a treat. Nashville is a bright and vibrant city at night. It reminds me of Las Vegas with all of the neons, street performers, and high rise buildings. We managed to find a spot to park out 25 foot trailer truck!

Day 2

The day began early with breakfast downstairs.











Time for my famous GroatMeal! Yes, the infamous combination of grits and oatmeal.





Mark’s reaction



You know you want some!



After all the fun and games we headed over to the Music City Motor Complex. We were able to move the cars to a better parking position next to the National Guard booth. We started to clean our rides but were getting beat from the constant sun light. Time for a mini road trip to the local Wal-Mart for coolers and beverages!

This is Ron riding “Dirty”

 

After getting a phone call Ron quickly went from “ridin dirty Ron” to “Pastor/Brother Ron”. That alone could have been the funniest moment of the whole trip! Mr. Slouchy sat straight up, straightened his hat, and changed his tone of voice to a serious one in a split second!
