OK, comrades in the ATL, I'll dig out of my sand trap :wink: and proclaim:
LET'S DO DINNER!
or lunch, or a car show, etc...
I am no longer a restaurant owner, and am completely open to ideas for a location, date, time. In the past, Saturday or Sunday evenings have worked. Let's have suggestions on a place to gather. Ideal locations have large, free parking (kinda rules out downtown/midtown), and maybe outdoor/patio seating, overlooking the parking lot. Most ATL owners are spread around the northern suburbs, from I-85 to I-75, as far as location. And, we have seen out of state owners from Tennessee and the Carolinas attend, so the north side is most convenient. Some facts for planning purposes: typically, after appropriate notice to all, and giving ample time to plan (say, 2 weeks), we end up with attendance of 20-25 guests and 12-20 cars, and a meet at a restaurant will last about 3 hours. Hell, everybody stays in the parking lot for the first 30 minutes!
Alright, everybody chime in with suggestions...
BTW, w/e of July 9/10 is out; track event at Road Atlanta already scheduled...
