Woosch and I are heading up to Road Atlanta on Saturday for this event. Anyone else like to join us. We will meet north of I-285 on I-85 at around 9am the exit is undecided as of yet.

We will meet up with some people for the corvetteForum at the track. They are supposed to be some other vettes up there.

Possible laps on the track behind a pace car during lunch. Others have said that they charged $30 to do this at Sebring.

Sounds terrific ! We are expecting pictures

An excellent opportunity to do laps on a great race track

I've got some work to do this weekend, but I'll probably be back at Road Atlanta in mid-may.

I've been asked to help related to the Auto Show.

Maybe I'll get to drive the GT40

Bring that GT40 up to Road Atlanta so we can "Let it Happen"

We expect pics as well.

I enjoy the set up part of the show, rather than the show itself.
During the set up, you can get up close and personal with the cars, and in some cases, the people responsible for the cars.

hey guys sounds great when and where are you meeting, I live up 85 at the mall of georgia exit. My son has a baseball game at 2:00 I might have to miss it

jeffroZ · 04-24-2002, 07:08 AM

miss his game that is! It might be a problem though as I am one of the coaches. I guess they will have to get over it!

gmblack3 · 04-24-2002, 07:22 AM

We are going to meet at the 2nd exit north of I-285 on I-85. Do you know what that exit # is? You can hook up along the way if you like.

We are going to need either an exit number or street name. Seems that everytime someone says 3 lights it turns out to be 5....

jeffroZ · 04-24-2002, 07:38 AM

I think the 2nd exit is Jimmy Carter Blvd
