i understand the event in atlanta will be fun. driving into atlanta on I-20 will not be  :D the only worse city to drive in was boston and i understand that since the big dig thats changed. i'll never forget leaving fenway park after a 4th of july game and it taking us something like 8 hours to get home which was just north of hartford.

There's a picture on here somwhere of Mike Rieck and Ron Williams (Mr Maxton).
I took him to meet Ron when he visited in 08, it was a surprise, he thought it was just a trip up Helsby Hill. ;D ;D ;D ;D
Ron served his time in the trade at Chevron Cars in Bolton and at the time was a top motorcycle sprinter on a blown 500cc Triumph.

I wish I was going, there is a 180 mph car in the garage but that's only in the quarter mile. I'd love to get some tires and gears and convert to Lakester for a weekend. Alas, one has to pick just a few hobbies.

Could someone give a report for those of us that can't go?
