    North Georgia race shops

    Not sure if this would be the right area to post in but I'm trying to find some race shops or independent chassis builders in the north Georgia blue ridge area. Planning on taking a chance and moving from Florida to that area and getting more involved in the racing scene and getting a job at a shop if anybody could make some suggestions it would be greatly appreciated

    CVR is somewhere near the GA/TN border but Warrior would probably be more likely on up into TN. You may try contacting Dale McDowell, he's from that area and might could point you in a better direction than me, depending on what your actually wanting to do.

      Capital would probably be closer to the Blue Ridge area.I don't know if Winfred is doing anything with race cars any more but you can try him at Morris Auto Parts in Blue Ridge.Mayo Race Cars in Cleveland,Tn may have or know of something.

              Capital is the only place in No Ga. Morris no longer builds chassis. CVR and Warrior are 2 hour drives.

                Winfred is a good man,I know he is still doing mechanical work,he gets parts from me fairly often.I just wasn't sure if he was doing any racing stuff,the subject hasn't came up lately.I figured he was done with it.

                    You can get there in about an hour from Blue Ridge,maybe a little more.

                          Wildside Haulers that build quite a few of the toter/stacker haulers is located in Blue Ridge, also the owner is the co-promoter of Blue Ridge Motorsports Park (Sugar Creek) so that would kind of be in the racing business!

                            Capital is in Woodstock GA, practically in Atlanta... 65 miles from blue ridge, so... Marshall is a great guy to work for too. Like I said McDowell is close by so you might give him a ring also.

                              Capital isn't at all a bad drive from Blue Ridge, I know folks who work there who live just a few miles south of Blue Ridge and commute to work at Capital every day, about an hour commute. so...
