The problem for me is this... it will be in the 30's Friday night (when I plan to drive to GA). I'm rather hesitatnt about driving an open-top car for 4.5 hours in 38-degree temps. Also, my wife tends to become extremely sleepy in the evening (she's pregnant, remember) so I'm worried about her driving the chase car for that long.

Because of these two concerns (but mainly the fear of her falling asleep at the wheel), I've decided to attend the event without Cobra. :CRY: I hate it more than anyone, but I'm really concerned for Elizabeth's safety during the drive. I have to keep telling myself that there will be other (warmer) weekends next spring and summer.

But I'll still be there!

look forward to seeing you. Sorry about the car. At least you wouldn't have fallen asleep with the lid down. Im supposed to have a top for mine but I haven't pulled it out of the trunk. Theres enough stuff in there so im pretty sure its there. Theres a tonnue(sp?) too in there. I was ordering a trailer as I wouldn't like to drive 4.5 hrs in the SPF but im waiting till the first of next year. Got hit up for a trip to Italy I had to pay for this week which would pay for a trailer. Bill can get them under 5000.
Drive safe

Great, so the 23rd it is. I’ll see you guys at Five Seasons around 12:30 or so.

Keith, while we have not yet met, I am proud of you. Definitely, the safety of your wife must always be ahead of the fun and excitement of getting a bunch of snakes together.

Tony, did you get your snake back from the Hospital. Maybe we can caravan down together. Let me know.

Just got it home a couple of hours ago. Wow! Bill and his team did some significant magic on the hot rod. She runs smoother than when I purchased her. I was able to break 100 MPH a couple of times on the way home. Smooth as glass! I am a very happy guy.

BTW, what is the best way to get to Five Seasons? I'm thinking I will exit 285 at I 75, run over to 41 and turn left. Am I close?

excelguru 11-21-2002 07:31 PM

I'm not sure if that's the best route. There's a nice map on the other thread about the same topic. It's just barely off I-285 on the north side.

Keith,

Good thing you aren't into motorcycling!! I used to go riding for a few hours in 20-30 degree weather. Had a good time (though I would arrive looking for fire, whiskey, and women). I always found two of the three ;) I respect your decision though on behalf of Elizabeth! IF I can pull it off I will be there.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone if I can't make it.

AMEN brother, you keep the little lady safe above all! Been there done that, my baby just turned two but I can recall the "yes ma'am, I'll do whatever the heck you want to keep you comfortable" pregnency days very clearly! Glad you are still coming. As far as I know am riding with Chip to doughnuts in the morning and then to meet you guys. See y'all there! Pray for above average temps tomorrow!

So, is everyone on for lunch today? Hopefully it will warm up during the next couple of hours.

LateApex 11-23-2002 07:48 AM

I may be able to make it, depends on my son's soccer game and how late it is. Chad, did you hear about all the carnage up at Road Atlanta last weekend, which is when I think you pal was goingup there? 3 total wrecks, one broken arm, etc. It was the Panoz Driving school, and one of my friends is an instructor there--said it was total mayhem. One of the other instructors totalled is WRX.

Fine Time
 
My second meeting with fellow gear heads was great - only thing missing was my car. Hurry up February !!!!! The weather was nearly perfect and the cars way cool. This is going to be fun !!!!!!

T.C. I lied - I do miss flying around the track, I need to figure out a way to get back in the seat. With so many cars in the area we should be able to organize some track time next spring and summer.

Agreed. That was fun. I got on it a couple of times on the way home. At first, I thought that new clutch was slipping on the hard shifts. But when I got home, I could smell the back tires burning. I've been burning leaves all day in this beautiful weather. I can't stand it any longer. I'm about to fire the baby up and take a quick spin. Maybe I'll get back before my fire takes out the neighborhood. Looking forward to the next lunch.
