The Georgia Racing Hall of Fame museum will be open till 4 PM on the day of our run (I checked). If conditions are ideal, and slow-pokes don't get in the way, we could be done with the run by 2:30. If we then headed for the museum, we could get there by 3. I know that's cutting it close, but it's something to think about.

The Dahlonega Appalachian Jam will be going on in downtown Dahlonega on the day of our run. If we can't go to the racing museum after the run, maybe we can go downtown and enjoy some bluegrass music.

The racing museum is in Dawsonville.  The City of Dawsonville has rented out the racing museum for a fashion show on Friday and Saturday.  The curator said he had to move all the cars outside and cover them during the show.

I wonder if that lady I spoke to on the phone knows that?

I went to the Elliott Racing compound and spoke with Ernie Elliott who told me to call back and talk to his daughter, Julie Hamby.  I've made a number of calls without result. 

After leaving the Elliott compound, I went to Gresham Motorsport Park and met with Jeremy who told me that next weekend the Porsche club has reserved the track and it's a closed gate event.  Unless you're driving a Porsche.

I then went to the Georgia Racing Hall of Fame and met with Mr. Pirkle.  It's part of the Dawsonville City Hall and is owned by the city.  He said the city had rented the museum out for a fashion show on the 21st and 22nd.  He had to put all the car outside until after the show, so we wouldn't be able to see them.   

Are the Racing Museum and the Racing Hall of Fame and Museum 2 different entities?

I'm thinking that the lady really didn't know. I called the number on this page.

Taken from the page you linked to:

Gordon Pirkle, local businessman and long time racing enthusiast, can often be seen taking groups of people through the museum and sharing his love for this segment of Dawsonville?s history.

First sentence in the writeup says it's in Dawsonville.  It's the same place I went to.  Not in Dahlonega.

Following past event schedules, we've usually had our meetings start no later than 8:30 and we are out and gone by 9.  I'm not familiar with the surroundings, but I think it will probably be in the parking lot of the hotel.  If anyone arrives after 9am, they will probably be left behind.

OK-thanks!   I plan on being on time or having a sad pitiful rise all the way back to Waleska.

I ran your sentences together and my mind said it was in Downtown Dahlonega and if we couldn't get in the racing museum, we could just sit down and listen to some bluegrass music instead. 

Sorry for the comprehension error.  Wait a few more years when you're my age.  You'll see.

Actually, it was my fault. I think you read my message about the music before I corrected a typo. After all, I'm old too.

Raffle -- afternoon, after the even. If it's raining, we may have to have it during dinner.
Dinner -- 6 PM at the Smith House.

I'm not sure we can make the run Saturday but I think we can join you for dinner at the Smith House.

Hope to see you there.
