Some of you may not want to leave this early. I will start a second list if you like. L8 and I want to get there early to watch the Go Karts practice.

I will just hang out on the shoulder, and catch you as you go by. Cell phone communication before that will be a must, since I don't feel like sitting on the shoulder for a long time, crazy things happen on the shoulder of 85.
But we have a ouple weeks to work that out. I don't know if anyone else will be leaving that early or not.

Hey guys! Can I come too?! I have a friend giving me paddock passes and I just ordered a car corral pass. Add me and Mr. L-Co to the list please! Yay! I cant wait!!!! I went to Barbers for the superbike races a couple of months ago and had a blast. (Of course the free drinks in the paddock helped immensely.)

If you are interested in purchasing GA RX-8 Club labels for your car or neighbors Porsche, please go to our order thread at our website garx8club.com and follow the directions. If you are not registered, you will need to before you can access.

I will be placing the order TOMORROW (THURSDAY) so your prompt response is very important if you want them for the Barber event.

I will join the 8ish-9ish caravan. I vote for an I-20 exit just outside 285 - maybe the Thornton Rd exit? But then I would vote that way given I live in Marietta....

Sounds good Phlash - Do we make it official? The group leaves @ 8?

As for location - Thorton Rd. Exit looks pretty good, as anyone near Metro ATL will have to pass by there heading West. Is there a large parking lot there abouts to meet up at (I'm kinda new)?

OK, I'll put it on the first post.

Is there a spot you guys will meet at like a waffle house or something?

Thornton road works for me. There is a Walmart on that exit if you take a left off the ramp from I-20 heading west. Or if you take a right off the exit there will be an IHOP where some of us could meet early and catch some early morning grub before we head out.

If anyone is coming over early (i.e. Friday) and are staying close to Oxford or Lincoln let me know, we can meet up or something.


I have a question since lil screaminrx8 gets in free does that mean he will get in the paddock for free also?
