The Barber Museum is on my list of things to do.

I can step outside on a Saturday night and hear the roar from Dixie Speedway! We go maybe once a year if we can get a bunch of friends together who don't mind the noise and the mud!

I read somewhere that August is 'ticket up' month in and around Atlanta on all major Highways. If I remember correctly they have canceled leave and off days for State Troopers and are giving no grace for any amount over the limit. They estimate that they will generate several million dollars from these speeding tickets. Word to the wise when traveling in GA heading into or around Atlanta, slow down.

I got the same email but it's been exposed as fake:

Looks like the contrary may be true in some Atlanta area jurisdictions.

Well you must be pretty close to me Doc. I'm close enough to Dixie that I can hear it just as well from my living room than I can in the stands.

OK, I did some reviewing of this thread and some map studying.

So far the members who've responded in this thread as wanting to go are from Woodstock, Kennesaw, Cumming, Douglasville, and SW Georgia. Taking the first 4 towns into consideration (sorry 01dynaglide - you're the furthest so it really doesn't matter where we meet in your case) and our destination in mind, it looks like Roswell would be a good meeting place. Just about equal distance for all of us and only about 25 minutes from the show.

There's a Starbucks right off GA400 Exit 7 in Roswell:

I was thinking meet there between 8:30 and 9:00 for some java and some conversation and then kickstands up at 9:30 to get to the show when it opens at 10:00.

Let me know what everyone thinks!

Sounds like a plan.
