Sorry you will not be making it Charlie. It' want be the same without you. Next year maybe you will get all your work done so you can come out and play.

Hey guys and girls, should we make it a complete Racing weekend and see Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby??? It was the movie filmed at the Rock.

Yea, that's been brought up several times. Even Charlie wants to do that.

Anyone going to the event tomorrow (Friday)?? I'm going to try to hang out there a bit as my engine builder's son will be racing at this event. Let me know, maybe we could meet up for lunch or something.. herblenny@gmail.com

SilverEIGHT

I started a thread on this. So if anyone is interested, let's set it up.

I remember valpac saying he was going over on Friday. But I don't know of anyone esle going over that early.

L8APEX

Well, today I secured the materials to make the flag poles, so that the Grassroots Motorsports and Classic Motorsports flags, can fly as flags, rather than hang as banners. I plan to get them finished up tonight, and Barber will be their first use. They are about a foot shorter than I wanted them to be, but only because, a longer pole, would not have fit in the trunk. So we deal with what we have. And if we don't like it, we will look into another solution.

Only a couple more days now, it is going to be a blast.

So for those of you not familiar with our little cult, when you get to the car corral, if you are fairly early, look for the blue EZ-UP with some flags and banners waving from it. Otherwise look for the large collection of RX-8's.

See you all there.

I'll be there friday. Probably between 1 and 2pm.

MrsLabop

We will be staying over Saturday night only. I think we're going to have to meet at the track because I don't know how long it will take for us to get up there with Rowan. Apparently we will be parking in the expo next to the will-call place so it should be easy to pick up the tickets. I called and they couldn't tell me if I needed a paddock pass for Rowan. She said they may or may not require one. I'm hoping for the not.

I'll be there Saturday late; I can't leave Atlanta till after 8am. Save me a spot!!! Staying over Saturday night for 250.
I'll be bringing a corn salsa with chips (OK for vegetarians and a little spicy) and some blueberry lemon bread.

See you all there and drive carefully,

Pam
