GA/TN group NASA events...Let's go play!!

Here are the NASA events coming up......

June 25-26 Erwin, TN - I'm working this one....

July 16-17 Savannah, GA -I think I'm working this one and bringing the camper to stay at the track. I have room to spare.....beside I wanna see and learn this track before Sept.

August 13-14 Atlanta, GA - I may work this one if the July Savannah deal falls through. Bringing the camper as well.

Sept 24-25 Savannah, GA - I am running this puppy this time...I used to live in Savannah and this is a great time of year to get outside and play.

Now's the time to start making plans.......lets go play......:D

Remember, Nabil and I aren't gonna run it (in July), we're workin' it and just hangin' at the track with the other NASA folk and earning track time.

I am gonna run it in Sept

Nabil, Lego,

FYI - I'm in for sure - workin' the event (what a great excuse to go to Savannah) - pulling the camper. Nabil, I swing through Atlanta on the way down. If you like to ride with me, let me know a place where I can pick you up. Probably heading down mid day the 15th.

Hey fellas,

July is full for me with the Autocross on the 10th and the trip to B'ham at the end of the month.

I am already driving the August NASA at RA, and reconstructive knee surgery a couple days later will keep me out of the Septmeber event. Sucks, since I went to school in Savannah for 5 years. I have not seen the track there yet, but the next time they are there, I may have to go down there.

Excellent! We have two or three others that may join us in Savannah that I spoke with this weekend at the Hillclimb.

*NOTE*

For those of you that have never seen/worked (let alone driven) a hill climb.....OH MY GOD!!! What an AWSOME time we had in the little town of Erwin TN. I have pics I'll post soon!

We're good to go. How long you think it will take to get there from your place? Are you close to the interstate? Can you send me directions to your place?

I'll look into coming too. I may have to drive up there myself, but I'll try to meet you guys there. I want to work the event too, but having the car in the shop for a while kind of rearranged priorities. They are painting it on Monday. I should get it back this week and I'll come to the event.

Phlash,

Have a call into the regional director about working the race. Corner flag worker, I assume.

Can I stay in your trailer if I come down? And I guess meet you guys there on Friday, early? Or follow you and Nabil down?

Lemme know.

What do you think?
Just let me know....
