May Events around Atlanta

Next Saturday the 3rd, Caffine and Octane:
Panera Bread Company / Avenue East Mall tomorrow; 4475 Roswell Road Marietta, GA (404-444-5907 is a phone number listed which I assume is Panera if you get lost) 8:30-11:00. As a reference, it's about 10 minutes south of Henessy Porsche.

I'll plan to get there around 8:30, as if it's nice I'm sure it will be a packed house again.

A lot of PCA events as well:

I'll be doing the PCA autoX on the 4th, I'll be at the club meeting on the 12th, as well as participating (and I expect judging) at the Concours; I'll be doing "Street Class" as I refuse to get myself into cleaning an engine you never see for full Concours (yes, Cayman/Boxters have to pull the engine cover for Concours

).

Hope to see some of you at these events!!!

I'll see you at the Avenues next Sat. Thanks for the info. I'm planning to plan a trip to Road Atlanta next week and I"m going to be protected by two smart cars.

I ran the rally last weekend and am kicking back in Napa Valley this weekend. I should be at the avenue next week. I will likely either enter the concours or just go to see the cars. I am not familiar with the Blam racing - is there a website?

I am planning on attending on Saturday as well, but unfortunately we are potentially looking at rain from Friday night into Saturday so I'll be playing it by ear. Can't complain too much though because we still need the rain.

Me Too. Might be a good day to detail the car instead of traveling.

Just checked weather.com; looks ok until this afternoon.

I'm going to the AutoX rain or shine tomorrow and the car gets a major detail for the concour starting next weekend anyway. Might as well get out of the house and drive it, so I'm heading over to the Avenues shortly!

Hope to some of you there.

Regards!

I live five minutes from The Avenue... I pulled out of my driveway this morning on the way to the meet and as soon as I hit the main road it started raining. I turned around and put the CS back in the garage. I did ride by a little later in my truck and it looked like there were a few people who braved the weather.
