Looks like we're getting a good group together from Alabama and Tennessee for the scouting run, this Saturday.  Anyone else from Georgia going besides Pat and I?

Anyone going on the scouting run Saturday, remember that Scottsboro, Al. is on the Central Time Zone.

Hey if anyone talks to Aerodonamic, ask him if he got any of the 25th stickers while at the 30th.
We got a couple extra and I know he wanted one.

I tried to message him here but either I flaked or he hasn't checked messages lately.  Could be either.

Thx

Sounds like we are getting new people interested over there in Alabama.  As much as I would like it to stay closer to home, I am willing to drive further for fresh blood.

I am going to miss the GA run too.  I am picking up the convertible this weekend....then it will be down for about a week while I rebuild the front end.  I can't drive it any more until I get that alignment and new front tires.  When I was loading it on the trailer up in Michigan, I noticed some cords showing in one of the front tires, and I refuse to put new front tires on that sloppy front end.

Sharon, Don doesn't do text messaging.  I don't think his phone has the capability.  It would probably be best to call or email him. 

Yesterday was a historic day in Run For The Hills.  In an email to Ron, former guru of the Alabama Fiero Club, David Hunter said that there had never been a Run For The Hills using Alabama as it's venue. 

The route chosen was very much akin to a road course.  Lots of high speed straights, then getting into some good, tight, tire squealing curves.  Plenty of need to keep a tight grip on the seat, both the the curves and the sharp drop-off's as you crested a hill.  Anyone familiar with the roads could have gotten more speed and maybe gotten airborne.  We encountered several trees in the roadway, just around some sharp curves.  Ron, I'd suggest you get those removed before we use this course.   :)

Here's the group as we parked behind the restaurants and businesses in Lynchburg, Tn. 
Front Row, left to right:
David Brill,  Formula Owner (Billy), Ron768 (Ron)
Second Row, TopNotch (Pat)
Third Row, Fierofool (Charlie)

This Saturday, July 27, we will be doing the North Georgia scouting run.

We will meet at the intersections of Georgia 400 and Hwy 60 in Dahlonega, Ga.  We will meet at the service station on the Northeast corner of the intersection, be gassed up and pulling out by 9 AM.  All are invited to come along, even in a different sports car.  The more input we have about the scouting trips, the better we can make these events.

Once TopNotch and Ron768 decide which venue we will be using, we will make other plans for activities.

The plans are to tour the Jack Daniels Distillery if the Alabama/Tennessee venue is used.  If the Dahlonega, Ga. venue is used, I will be trying to make arrangements to tour the Bill Elliott Motorsports Complex.  If that can't be arranged, I'll go for the Georgia Racing Hall of Fame.

Being closer to NC would be slightly more convenient, but a JD tour would be awesome.

I might be on the lookout for a driver slightly less aggressive than Greg to ride shotgun with on the run.  I still want it to be fun, but I am recovering from surgery.  The doc said 6-8 weeks before normal activity (and he knows about  the cars) but Greg's driving really wears me out on these runs.   
However, I  do NOT want to ride in the sight-seers group ;D

If you tell me where to locate your real estate I'll pay homage to it for you.

The scouting run was fun. Here's a little sample.

One of the high points of the run.  Literally.  Brasstown Bald, highest point in Georgia at 4783 feet.
