    I think I have a cool idea but need some info first. Tell me what kind of music you guys like, and some favorite groups so I can see if it would be cool or not. The GNF is really a big deal for me because I get to see racers from all over the place but there is no real social interaction event there to bring us all together. Pocono cycle jam usually has concerts with chump bands, but this is the GNF. Does anybody know of a nationally famous band that has since been a "club" band that live in atlanta? I don't think it would cost too much to book a band that plays little clubs in hershey, PA every year. And I could always front some race gas for the chainsaw he plays.(hint hint) What do you guys think? Any JACKYL fans in the house??

    Jackyl definitly knows the way to Atlanta. A few years ago, some of the members played at The Outer Edge in Marietta under the name "Capt. Hamilton" (I think?) or "Capt. something-or-other". I saw them several times there. They were good! Used a different front singer. He was a madman!

    How bout some Ministry? "Jesus built my hot rod". That'd fit. Or Rage "Bulls on Parade". Course they'd probalby cost a little more. I dunno I can only take so mush of, "I'm a lumberjack baby". But I'm probably of the minority opinion here. There's gotta be some cool, local industrial bands in the Atlanta area.

    How about some AC/DC? That gets me in the frame of mind to go racing. Sorry I'm 36 and getting to be a middle aged old fart but I still like the tunes. Maybe throw in some Ted Nugent too...

    It just so happens that Jackyl plays in my town once every year and they have always played a cover or two including some old dirty deeds era AC/DC and a few ole steady teddy tunes as well.
    What do you say wera? Even if we promise not to burn down the restrooms?

    Jackyl played a show here a few nights back at the local boot scootin bar for free! Didn't see it though. I was so wrapped up poofing up my mullet that I missed the show.

    Well this is a good sign, but my idea was having Jackyl do a show for us at the GNF. The tricky part is getting wera to go for it. As for the rest of the favorites, we need to find a local georgia band that plays covers of your musical range. WERA, How about it?

    WERA is not the problem - the problem is paying the band and getting the track to agree to it...

    We're all for it as long as it won't cost us anything - just be warned, it has been tried a few times before and failed miserably each time. I don't know what's up with bands at Pocono, when we raced there the spectators entertained themselves by dragracing, only music necessary was provided by open piped harleys [​IMG]

    Yeah, Sevendust would be cool. Drivin-n-Cryin are from the Atlanta area, too. They do a good show.
    And Mongo- I'm sure if we all ask real nice, the track staff would agree to a band. [​IMG]

    Yeah, we've never had a problem doing it before - it's just another one of those ideas that sounds great and if we could afford to do it as entertainment for it's own sake it would be cool but the band would cost money and we don't have any extra for that kind of expense. As with most things, money as always is the stumbling block...

    And no, charging extra at the gate is NOT an option, all that would do is piss off the 90% of people through the gate that have no interest in the band.
