Hi,

Anyone interested in joining us at Road Atlanta the weekend of April 29th-May2nd? Featured race team this year is Brock Racing Enterprises. I am in the process of organizing a "Meet & Greet" with Peter and Gayle Brock. This will be an informal talk, Q & A, plus autograph session. There will be a Cobra Corral in the infield. Should be a fun and interesting weekend.

Kahn, I will be there. If we have not met before I am 5'7", bald and will have an incredibly attractive lady on my arm.

Also i need a head count for food if you are camping with us Saturday night. I am going to bbq a few pork butts. Cash donations accepted.

I am not sure if we have met but look forward to doing so. I have some brown hair.....well some of it is left and a beard. I am in my late 30's and my wife is a beautiful greek goddess with long black curly hair.

Oh what to do! I want to take my FIA BUT you could say this would be the maiden voyage and a 160 mile one at that! I've put 80 miles on the car so far and still don't have all the bugs out! Carbs, rear end squeal, exhaust leak, oil leak, etc.Then there's the chance of rain... I really don't want to trailer the car but I think I'm a little unsure of the drive. Khan I finally got it all together, well except for the carpet but that's not much to do. I didn't realize just how hot these cars can be! It's like driving around in a pizza oven! I really need to get back out to your house and see the new project! Now that your in the Pantera "community" do know where any ZF's are? Your car looks great! Thanks, Matt

Drove by RA today and the place was stacked with transporters waiting to enter. Superformance is evidently doing a corral as well, or maybe in conjunction with the FFR gang. Looks like good weather on Friday, Sat/Sun could be 30-40% chance of the wet stuff. I'll be there with the 67 GT350 at least on Friday, hope to see everyone out and about.

Commish,

The Corral will be a Cobra Corral with no designation towards a particular brand.

Come on out and bring the Stang!

Tony Radford · #14 (**permalink**) 04-29-2010, 10:47 AM

How late do you guys think you'll be there on Friday?

Pigfarm70 · #15 (**permalink**) 04-29-2010, 11:41 AM

Tony,

The racing wraps-up around 7pm and then there is a Welcome Party starting at 7.

Many of the guys are camping out there for the whole weekend so they'll be there all night.

If you do not have it....here's my cell# if you need anything (678-971-9470)

You'll need a ticket to get in and also an infield parking pass to get your car in the gates.

Matt,

Just put on your brave "war face", climb into the cockpit and go for it !!!

The "worst" that is going to happen is you don't make it and have to call a buddy with a trailer :P

Weather looks AWESOME for tomorrow, "ehhh...OK" for Sat and "Not Bad" for Sunday !

Hope to see you there !
