NICO will be attending the July 17-18th Import Alliance meet at the Nashville SuperSpeedway. This will be our 4th consecutive year and we hope everyone joins us in the NICO area during the event. These are always great events for NICO members to get together and meet the NICO staff as well since many of us will be there.

Event details are still in the works:
nicofest-at-import-alliance-information-t497771.html

This is the ONLY NICO event in the SE/Central regions this year and we would really like to TEAR THE MOTHA UP.

Who's planning to go?

I have no clue, but I can tell you I spent so much time on the track at MAM, that I could care less..... It was hot as hell out there, the heat in Nashville will be ridiculous to be tracking a car.

A 3pm-ish time would probably be good. If it don't happen then we may need to make arrangements to get in early on Saturday or we may lose the whole spot.

Usually we have a tent and get the area setup on Friday when vendors are allowed in. It's also a good way to ensure we have our spot properly reserved.

What's the deal with cars? is the $10 strictly a spectator charge, or will we be parking inside the speedway in the NICO area?

$10 gets you and your car in, if there is room. Just get there early to secure your spot inside. Last year there was like 1000 cars that had to park outside because the track was full. Just get there early

They plan on parking cars along the track this year along with the infield parking.
