This is the same event as the Carrabelle Airfield event in Florida. This time it is in Georgia and e have 3 NSXs participating.

A few people have expressed coming along just to watch so I wanted to make a post for them. I am not sure but I think most people will be leaving early in the morning to drive up there for the event EARLY (6:00AM) but I think the event starts at 9am for spectators. It is a 1.5 hours from Atlanta and the drive is pretty nice.

So who would like to join?

It's been closed for about a month but there are some serious cars coming out to this event.

I was on the wait list and I just got in yesterday. If you want to go, I can get you on that list. Less than 10 people on it.
 
I think some people are meeting at 5am or so off of the 985. The races start at 9am but the drivers need to be at the track at 6:30am
