I went to Nashville, TN this weekend on a business trip. I may be moving operations there in the next few months, but I was terrified at the lack of import scene...

I'm really hoping that there are more souped up imports than the 2-3 I saw the whole weekend..

I was excited about maybe meeting some fellow 240SX people, or hanging out with the locals...

But, I couldn't find a soul....

If you do move out to Nashville, you should come out to Knoxville sometime. There are a couple of us out that way

Me and a couple other guys are up in Bowling Green (~55 miles north). There's a quarter mile track up here (Beech Bend) and quite a few domestic events, but not too many imports.

Not sure about Nashville, but it couldn't be that bad...it's a pretty big city.

There is supposed to be a pretty huge scene in nashville from what I am told.....I have talked to a few Nissan guys down there, some of them that have close ties with "The Z Barn" down there....I dunno, never been down there personally to check it out.

I am right outside Nashville, my car isn't turbo, but I have been on the 240 scene for a while. I have suspension and what not. Also our autocross club is awsome. We run out at the Super speedways parking lot. It's a big lot.

I usually show up in Nashville about every weekend, and there is supposed to be meets on Fri. nights around 11 but lately they have been pretty lame or no one shows up. It is mainly a car meet put together by honda-tech, but everyone shows up. And you are right, the import scene in Nashville is at a minimal.

Used to live in Nashville...Import scene when I was there 2 years ago was alright. I'm down near Clarksville, TN now...the scene down here isn't bad.

Underground, there are some big meets that go on in Louisville, KY all through the summer months. About 75-100 people come out for those meets, domestic & imports! Drop me a line sometime man.

Pics from a few Louisville, KY meets I've been to...***APRIL 2005 MEET***

***OCTOBER 2005 MEET***

If anything is going on in the Nashville area I would appreciate it if you Nashville folks could post up in this thread...

Im in nashville with a 92 Hatch with siliva frnt end and blacktop. There are a lot of civics and integra's. I dont see many imports either besides the usual people you see on a daily basis. There are a few supra's, ferarris, lambo's, rx-7. Its alright i guess.
