    My suggestion is that you have the webmaster create an 8-1/2 x 11 version of a poster and put it on the website, so that anyone who wants to hang it up can print it easily. As I said, .pdf format would work fine for this.

    The Expo parking lot would be fine, or else the east side Perimeter Mall lot just to the north--either way we can turn onto Ashford-Dunwoody and then directly onto I-285.

    I suggest avoiding 400 only since keeping a group of cars together through the toll plaza will be a headache. I think we should continue west on 285 and then go down 75. What does anyone else think?

    Going down 285 then 75 sounds good to me.

    Its going to be an awesome little sight to see all these cars together on the street.

    My car is getting out of the shop this weekend, just in time for the show, so i'm pretty excited.

    I did a head/cam/suspension/discbrake swap on my '65 shelby gt350 clone over the past 3 weeks, so now i'll be able to hang with you guys a little better ;)

    Ahh so confused. And this isnt that confusing. Are we meeting in the mall's parking lot or in the expo parking lot (which is probly safer (less traffic))? And the time is 10 because the show starts at 11 right?
    Thanks for clearing this up.

    We'll meet up at 10, the show starts at 11.

    As for the exact meeting place, I'll go by the mall this weekend, and look around. But its definitely going to be next to Perimeter mall.

    Jimpern,

    Here is the flyer. http://www.prism.gatech.edu/~gtg839b/poster.pdf

    If you do talk to anyone, pass the word on that not only will we have a Ford GT at the show, but the chassis designer, a Tech grad, will be the speaker.

    .................................

    We're already planning next year's events. Franco Cimatti of Ferrari has been contacted about being the speaker for next year's event.

    Ok, here's an update.

    We met today, and decided to add another category to the show.

    A "non-GaTech car" category.

    So we're going to need you guys to register, but here is the thing...the online registration form will not be updated for the new category.

    So fill out the top section with your info, SKIP the section where it asks if you're a student or alumni. In the part where is asks for "Vehicle Category", put "chris special invite car". Then fill out the rest of vehicle description etc.

    Then click the "register" button.

    This way, you'll be put into a category, and you'll get a packet with your car number, and a ballot form to judge the other cars at the show.

    www.me.gatech.edu/autoshow/registration/

    There is no required entry fee for the show, but a donation of any amount would be appreciated. The proceeds fund the various automotive clubs at my school. We have GT motorsports, GT offroading, GT solar car, and a few other ones. So anything between $1-$1,000,000 would be great!!! They won't ask you for the money, you just give it to the guys running the show if you so desire.

    Things are looking really good guys. Lots of interesting cars coming.

    Thanks for your participation.

    ~Chris

    I'm mad. I can't make it to the show. Something just came up for Spring Break with a friend. In other words we are leaving on Friday and won't be in town. I haven't signed up yet, which is good. Sorry I said I could go then couldn't.

    Would I be able to drive down with you all but park in the non-show area? I might be bringing a friend with a '04 Z06 as well.

    I signed up for the show and I'm debating what to bring. There's going to be a plethora of Ferraris and my 355 would fit in, BUT when going to a show it's also nice to have something unique, so I was thinking of bringing my tubo winged Lancia Scorpion. Definately won't see another at the show! I've had it at Italian car day and Frank Parkers First Redeemer show.

    Jeff, bring the lancia...and the 355!

    Steeda, sure, you can bring whatever! In fact the NEW Z06 will be there. Never been shown anywhere yet but the BIG shows!

    Considering you'll be showing the car off to engineers, the Scorpion should be of quite some interest. But I hope Chris can determine whether someone else will be bringing a 355. Ideally both models should be represented.

    So can just anyone come to the show or do you have to be a GA Tech student/alumni to come and be a spectator?

    Jeff,

    Actually, you were the person i thought who was going to bring the 355. So bring that if you can. Or both!

    I'm sorry i havnt been over to perimeter mall yet to stake out an exact location. It will probably be just one of the parking lots in front of Rich's, or in front of the Hope depot expo.

    Guys, lets make it the lot lying on ashford dunwoody, at the corner, of the macy's rich's there of perimeter mall. It overlooks the home depot expo.

    We'll meet there at 10, and leave as soon as everyone gets there. Probably around 10:15-:20 or so.

    Thanks.

    So, in other words, the lot on the northwest corner of Ashford-Dunwoody and Hammond Drive, right? Good choice!

    And then we'll take I-285 west, to I-75 south, to North Avenue?

    It'll be great to see you all there. Sterling Skinner is the organizer, and he loves Ferrari's, so it will be great to have you all there. This year's speaker is the chassis designer of the Ford GT. Sterling has been in contact with the present head of all Ferrari clean-sheet design, who is another GT grad. He may be there this year, and may actually be the speaker next year... The '01 Ferrari F1 car should be AWESOME. I can't wait to see that up-close.
