Hello everyone..
I just wanted to update everyone on the Upcoming Walter Mitty event in Atlanta Georgia April 30th,Ma 1st and 2nd at Road Atlanta.Rob Ginn , owner of the Newest Superformance Reaplica dealership has asked me , on his behalf , to invite everyone to his Cobra Corral at the Mitty event.
He will be hosting a BBQ dinner and Open house at his dealership , which is directly across from the Panoz racing school.His company is called McMichael Motorsports.Please see below , an email with an update fromone of the people incharge of the festival:
We wanted to give you an update on our anniversary party at the Walter Mitty. May 1-2. Please feel free to pass this along to everyone in your club who is planning on joining us for the party.
Koni is now coming and will do a shock seminar and work on readers shocks at no charge all during the weekend. This is what they promised:
We would like to bring the Koni Service Trailer and provide the normal on-site dynoing and light service work that we normally also do at the Runoffs, ARRC and Solo II Nationals. On a first come-first served basis, we dyno any Konis for free and do any service work on Konis that can be done on-site for free and the racer simply pays for parts. We will dyno non-Konis for a small charge when time permits around the Koni work.
Also Dayton Wire Wheel and our own tire guru John Rastetter (from the Tire Rack) will be there to offer advice. We also have a micro car museum planning to bring some cool little cars out. Saab is pulling cars out of their museum too. Famed Triumph curmudgeon JK Jackson will talk Triumphs and our own Carl Heideman is bringing his supercharged MGB and will do MG seminars.
This thing is turning out to be huge. We have over 40 vendors lined up. We will be bringing pretty much all our project cars and have a bunch of surprises planned. Also all our readers will be invited to autocross new MINIs for FREE. Details are at our website.

Here is another update with more cool stuff planned:
Rob,
That's great news. There are a number of fun things your group will qualify for as long as 15 or more cars show up. For instance, we will be handing out one trophy for every 5 cars that come. This way each club can run their own show and give out prizes within their groups. Each car that wins it's individual "Best in Show" will be eligible to enter in the overall "Best in Show" contest. We are also working with the Panoz folks to make hot laps available to the car clubs in the Panoz race cars. I will have the total amount of rides available, and other details soon. We will also be giving a prize to the car club with the greatest turnout. Also, every club will be able to get on track for a parade lap around the circuit. That would be quite a site to see 50 Cobras out there at once. It would make for some great photos!
We are in the final stages of ironing out all the details. I should have some more info in the next couple of weeks. Thanks for your work in spreading the word. This is shaping up to be a great event!
