    OK guys - the next drive has been set.....FINALLY!!!

    Saturday, July 23rd @ 7:30am

    Barnes & Noble Parking lot
    7660 Northpoint Parkway, Ste 200
    Alpharetta, GA 30022

    basically head North on GA 400, exit Mansell & turn Right(east) on Mansell Rd. then take a left at the first stop light. B&N will be on your right.

    Plan on leaving by 7:45am so we can hit the Mountain Roads by 8:45am without any traffic. There are 3 stopping points along the way where we "regroup" so you can turn back early if you need to get back.

    Any ?'s.... C ya there!

    If the route is what I think it is, it's a GREAT drive. I'll try to make it up too.

    Martin, of course you're eligible. Last time we had a BMW, a Mercedes and a couple of VWs (and Rick Russo's late-model Maser).

    Unfortunately I won't be at this one; that's the only weekend in July that I will be away.

    We head up 400 and then tear up the mountains. I can't remember the roads by name(just know where to turn) but I'll find them for you. I know one of the stops is on blood mountain.

    We are usually done around noon if you stay for the entire run then some of us head over to Helen, GA which is about 20 minutes from the end for an outdoor lunch if the weather is good.

    You can PM me for a phone number for contact info.

    Is my Lotus acceptable for this run or is this purely Italian. I completely understand if it is because , hell I am in your sand box.

    just let me know.

    Brian - by no means is this purely Italian, as germans will be plenty. besides, if we were to make this purely italian - we could only travel a few miles before we had to stop and call the flatbeds in :D

    in all seriousness, it will be mostly Porsche & Ferrari with a couple of M3's, a deTomosa or two and some lotus (loti?). come out & play!

    Since I won't be around to lead the way this time (!), here's a map of some of the "sports car roads".

    The green line represents the actual route we all took on 3/19; the blue line is the route I took back after we split up in Helen; the yellow lines are other good roads.

    I got a red car with a horse on it! I'd love to go on this run. Count me in!

    I don't have a lot of time to monitor F-Chat, but I'll mark this on my calender!

    You have an S281!

    Haven't seen one in red yet.

    I got a chance to sit in one and rev the motor, man was it sweet. I have never liked a mustang more than the s281.

    Is it a stage one?

    I can't make the run due to family crap but plan to be there in the morning just to meet some people and say "HI".

    Hopefully I can make the next one.

    Hope you all have fun. Maybe I can make it next time, I have to go to Florida to test a new system for racing, but this sounds like fun.

    Andy(308). Robert and I will probably leave about 7am to get fuel at the Shell around the corner if you want to tag along. (we will have both cars).

    BTW......Exit14 southbound had all sorts of construction close to the merger onto rt400 and was real messy, so, you may want to avoid and take that road behind CVS that takes you down to Exit13. (or down by Northside)
