We’re proud to (finally) officially announce that the NE Georgia Swap Meet has moved to the Atlanta Dragway. We expect this to be a great boost for our show. We’ll be inside the main gates, in the paved pit area of the complex—flat, hard, clean surface for vendors to set up on, no hills for spectators to walk up and down, and no muddy ground or grass clippings.
Besides the better physical venue for the show, the track runs a consistent weekly race program, and will have racers arriving around noon on most of the Saturdays we will be doing our show—this will translate directly to more spectator traffic for our vendors.
The management of Atlanta Dragway is enthusiastic about our show moving to their facility, and will help us grow by actively promoting our event to their racers and spectators.
Vendor set-up is 7am, gates open to the public at 8:30.
Vendor spaces are $20 for all the space you need.
Spectator entry is $5.
Spectators and vendors will enter the racer’s gate, to the left at the end of the main driveway into the property.
Directions:
From I-85:
I-85 to Exit 149—Banks Crossing/Hwy 441.
Turn NORTH (or West) onto Highway 441.
LEFT at SECOND stoplight, onto Steven B. Tanger Blvd.
First RIGHT (before Applebee’s) onto East Ridegway Road.
The main entrance is on the RIGHT.

1958 Porsche 356 Speedster
The 1958 Porsche 356 Speedster marks the swan song of one of Porsche’s most iconic and minimalist models. Originally introduced in 1954 at the urging of U.S. importer Max Hoffman, the Speedster was designed to be a low cost, lightweight, stripped-down entry sports car that could double as a weekend racer, especially for the California sports car scene. With its low windshield,…
