Walter Mitty Road Atlanta Ferrari Coral May-2-3-4: Plus Parade Laps

Greetings:

1-Ferrari Corral at the Walter Mitty
2-Historic Grand Prix
3-Parade Laps up to 100 cars per day all club marques so sign up early
4-Corral Parking open all three days
5-Saturday the most active day of racing
6-Tickets as you drive in
7-No cost for Corral (from what I understand as of now as sponsored by Grass Roots Motorsports)
8-Bring cooler and chairs
9-SC folks meet at Coaches for drive up Saturday morning-time to be announced
10-Go here for details http://www.roadatlanta.com/event_detail.lasso?-Token.eventfile=ev_mitty.lasso&-Token.id=3

I'v contacted Grass Roots Motorsports, and they indicate they will set up a Coral for Ferrari. I don't see why we should'nt have Masserati, Lamborghini and other exotics to fill out the grid. I am also informed we will have a good location on level ground, etc.

No fee other than tickets to enter that you will purchase at the gate as you drive in, but also no tent, food, etc. So...bring your chairs and cooler.

Anyone intersted in going, please chime in or email me to so we will have a head count, and perhaps the GA folks will meet up and drive to the event from FOA or some other location. The Grand Prix cars will be there, as well as many other very fast, loud, interesting cars that we still dream of when we sleep. Please view the video, and visit the site to see what this is about.

Saturday is the big day, but I think the Corral will be there all three days.

Just got an email from Tim at Grass Roots Motorsports (his answers are in all caps), and here is the deal:

1-I am not sure how many cars we will have. I am shooting for 15-20 (ever so optimistic) and we will invite other exotics in like Lamborghini and Maserati.

GREAT NEWS. THE MORE THE MERRIER.

2-Is there any hospitality we can participate in for a fee, or is it vendor village?

WE HAVE A HUGE HOSPITALITY TENT ALL WEEKEND AND WE HAVE A FREE BEER PARTY, SLOT CAR COMPETITION AND DART TOURNAMENT SATURDAY NIGHT.

3-Any service to set up a tent and some chairs?

AS THE ATTACHED FLYER SHOWS, YOU CAN SET UP A TENT ON YOUR OWN THROUGH REECE, OR IF YOU GET 30 CARS WE PAY FOR THE TENT.

4-Can we get an electronic from to fill out for parade laps, or should we complete these at the big tent when we arrive? I remember what you said about first come first serve.

WE NEED YOU TO COME TO OUR TENT, BUT IT IS ONLY 100 FEET FROM WHERE WE ARE GOING TO PUT YOU.

As you can see, the above is why we need to know who is coming to the event. Please, let's make this a Ferrari and Freinds event, invite your exotic car folks, and let's show up in force.

 

Thanks for the warning, and If that is the case, I will agree, to feel the track you need to at lease be about to run highway speed.

 

Tim from Grass Roots Magazine sent me this email, so problem resolved regarding the lap! This is why they are limiting it, so sign up early.

"We have greatly improved the format for this year and are limiting entries to prevent this problem."

 

Don't forget that Saturday is the free beer party, but then again, I don't think I want to drink and drive any car.....

 

Tim at GRM said to sign up at their tent on the morning of, but looks like someone found a link, also, here is another reason to go!

As if there weren't enough great reasons to come to GRM Speedfest at The Mitty, here's two more: Playboy Playmates Deanna Brooks and Stephanie Glasson will be there.
