Welcome to this year's 24 Hours of Willis , marking the fifth anniversary of my 2 hour, 37 minute drive to the hospital in Atlanta
from Savannah to beat Willis' birth by 19 minutes.
Two days of track fun (x8 hours = 16 hours) and 8 hours of partying with other gearheads and slotcar jockeys= 24 hours !
The dates are June 25th and 26th, 2005.
The location is Savannah, Ga.'s beautiful Roebling Road Raceway, built in 1959. See
_www.roeblingroad.com_ (
http://www.roeblingroad.com/)
for directions to the track and info on lodging. I suggest the Jemison(912 748 0017) on Friday night in Pooler and the Holiday Inn Oceanfront(843 785 5126) (or Express if you do not care abou the ocean) for Saturday night on Hilton Head.
More info to follow as this particular post is updated and edited over the next week.
We will have a varied group this year comprised of some folks from the Cobra Club, the Porsche Club of America, and some more from HSR(Historic Sportscar Racing). There will be race groups and DE(Driver Education)groups. Party at the track or motel Friday night as you unload and set up, Dinner at the Beach Saturday night. Make your motel arrangements accordingly.
Rob Ginn of McMichael Motorsports has been elected this years "Cobra Group Leader" and will be helping out a lot with the various aspects of the event, as it relates to the tech inspections, driver safety gear, Cobra run groups, etc. , and we owe him a big thanks for his help. He has enlisted an instructor to help out with the Driver Education aspect of the event. The purpose of the event is to become a better driver, so please take advantage of the opportunity to work with an instructor .
