Talked to Jesse at ACC and she said to park in the parking lot on the right side of the building for Saturday. I got Jesse to show me the SLR.....wow. I asked her if she would be joining us on our trip to CE and if she could come with the Maclaren, she just smiled. It's a good rumor to start............

You could always take Hwy 124 which takes you past the Panoz facilities (also owned by the CE people).

You have a PM from me!

Randy, check G-DOT for connector construction, I think 3 lanes should be open.

I agree, I think we're off to a great start! There are a good # of SLKs in ATL. ACC is willing to help with further recruitment. Sending you a PM.

It's raining here thanks to the hurricane but I spent the afternoon outside detailing interior of the car.

Wife just got home from work and I told her to get packed to leave in the morning. She asked where we were meeting the other drivers. I told her in Atlanta. She said no, the group we are driving with to Atlanta.

I told her it's just me and her driving to Atlanta. She's like, WHAT! We are driving there by ourselves. I said well yeah, weve been talking about this for weeks.

She said, yeah, but she thought we were driving there as a group. That was going to be the fun of the trip!

I told her that is the Texas group that is meeting at Cracker Barrel and driving together to the Texas event. She said Lets do that one! ARRGGGG!!!!! Women!!!!

So I guess we are not going to Atlanta after all. Sorry guys. You will have to figure out who among you guys drives the farthest.

We are going to the Texas Event instead. We'll take lots of pics and post them for all to see.

On the bright side...we will get to meet Cousjcc and see his new car!

Sorry for the let down.

Hey Randy,

How about you don't wash your car for this meet!!!
I mean lets just level the playing field a bit for us other guys! Otherwise, we're not sure you can be a member of the ATLSLKAMGSWC (Stock Wheel Club).
Just messing with you! Your car is so BadA$$. I want one just like it!

I look forward to seeing you tomorrow, Joe

A few pics from the meet. ACC was great with refreshments and goodie bags. Had a very nice lunch and photo shoot at CE. The others will post pics as well. It was a blast guys and gals!

At ACC.



A food shot for Eddy. From front left clockwise: Shelton, Rick, Gina, Lori, Joe, Randy, me posing as a chair, Eija, and Sarah. Hope I spelled them correctly.



At CE, from L to R: Randy's '07 55, Shelton's '07 55, Ricks '07 55, David's '07 55, Joe's '06 55.



They wouldn't let Joe cut down the plants in front!
