    Guys, Lotus will be the official make of the Giovanni event and I am hoping for the biggest event ever. I have 2 of the past factory team drivers coming and will be on hand, along with former Lotus CEO and team crew chhief. I will have a tv playing the entire seasion of 1992 on tv which was the old Super car series and Lotus won the championship.

    attendees will be Arnie Johnson , former CEO, Doc Bundy world drivers chanpion, and David Murry, 2 time winner in the series and 2005 Rolex champ. Joe Grassi will also be there. Joe was Crew Chief of the year . all of these guys will be there talking those great old days.

    I will see if Lotus of ATL can bring over some exciges for us.

    see you all there. 9/16 from 4:00 to 7 .

    3630 peachtree parkway, Suwanee GA 30024

    cool Alex. what will you bring to the event ? this is shaping up to be our biggest ever Giovanni show. There are guys coming from all over to the event. even out of state car buddies.

    its gonna be great .

    Jimmy, bring your camera.

    Carbon, you are gonna love the Lotus 340 R that is being hauled in on a flatbed.

    Brian Willis, I hope you are coming to the event in that yellow Elan ?

    Vinny bought a flat screen which I will have some good old IMSA races on the tube.

    tomorrows Giovanni event is going to be a new recrord. we have new Ferrari guys coming as well as new Lotus and Porsche guys coming.

    its going to be fantastic. the weather will be perfect and the patio will be shaded all the time we are eating and admiring the cars.

    starts at 4, but I am going to get there early to mark off our territory from the coffee house people.

    we have a Lotus race car being hauled up so I will help him unload.

    wax them up tonight guys, tomorrow is going to be a great day O car events.

    Brian,
    Sounds like you've out done yourself. I haven't seen Arnie in about 8 or 9 years. This is going to be great!

    See ya there,
    Rick . . .

    cool Rick thanks. Arnie loves these types of events. he will have a ball as will Doc and David.

    ask Doc about his stints driver the Ferrari 333SP at Daytona a few years ago during the Rolex . he drove for Kevin Doran .
