Welcome to THE GEAR JAM, drag racing the way it used to be

The purpose of this event is to recreate a day at the drags in the ‘60s, with everything from Stocks and Super Stocks, to Gassers, Dragsters and Altereds. And if there were a bunch of Altered Wheel Base cars in the staging lanes, that wouldn’t hurt our feelings a bit.

1966 and older passenger car and truck body styles for Gasser, Front Engine Dragster, Altered/Comp Coupe, and Hot Rod. 1961-74 passenger car and truck for Muscle Car. Dragsters and Altereds should be built to late-‘60s or earlier appearance. We want period looking cars… these can be restored original race cars, new builds, old unrestored cars fresh from the barn.

Any engine through the ‘80s is allowed. We’re looking for an engine style here, not casting numbers and date codes. For instance, Big and Small Block Chevy, Ford, Chrysler and AMC… no Ford Mod Motors, new modern Hemi or Chevy LS engines.

Jeff Southard April, Georgia , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

The NE Georgia Swap Meet is held each month at the Atlanta Dragway in Commerce, Georgia.
We have 200-250 vendors each month with parts, vintage signs, tools, shop equipment, motorcycle and bike parts, and anything else you’d find in a guy’s shop or garage. We’re a REAL swap meet, with no antiques, arts-and-crafts, jewelry, housewares or the other kinds of things that are diluting most automotive swap meets today.
One low price gets vendors as much space as they want, keeping prices good for everyone.

I-85 to Exit 149/Hwy 441.
WEST on Hwy 441 to the Second Light,
Turn LEFT at the light, take the first Right, and there you are!
-Vendor spaces: $20 for all the space you want
-Spectator admission is $5
-Vendor set-up 7am, gates open to the public at 8:30
