    Anyone planning to meet up for the Ferrari Challenge? My wife and I are pretty new to the Atlanta area and we'd love to meet some FC folks.

    I'm not really familiar with the area (this will be my first trip to Road Atlanta). Maybe someone more familar with the track can suggest somewhere. Is there a particular place at the track where the FC folks could meet up?

    As far as a good place to meet, there are plenty of great places. As far as just seeing the cars, there is a hill called Spectator Hill which is great for seeing the cars come down the esses. Another good spot is the seating areas at 10a/10b. There you can find a good amount of late braking and good passes. Also there is a good amount of parking at either location. I personally like 10a/10b, but whichever you prefer.

    Yeah, and plus it is a good place to try your luck on the Autocross or the skidpad, just have to make sure the marshalls aren't looking! I am going to try to bring a GTech Pro that my friend has; hopefully my Gtech Pro Comp will be in by the weekend!!!

    Anyone want to meet for lunch at the track? I say lunch time because I figure most people will be coming in all morning from various points of interests.

    12 sounds good to me since I can not do the club touring that starts at 1.

    Meeting up in the big arear of corners 6 & 7 sounds fine to me though unless some one has a better suggestion of a meeting area.

    Well how about driving the 2004 Maserati over to us? hahaha

    I have driven a 2002 spyder and it was great...too much cowl shake for my liking, but the engine was fantastic. I really like the coupe with the stiched headliner. More of a GT than all out performance, but none the less a great car.

    I've heard they improved them every year with 2004 having some major changes to suspension and so on.

    i will be with company, so meeting up with other folks is somewhat conflicting; however, i'd like to meet you folks as well, so if you see a dude with a black horse on his chest, don't hesitate to come over and say hello... :)
