I'd be in for either Road Atlanta or the Dragon.  Rode motorcycles on both, but yet to have the Shelby on either.

Guys, I just got back from Carlise also and it was such a great event. The Northeast Region put on a show that will be hard to top! Carlise's Mayor has established the first week in June as Team Shelby Week. It would be an amazing to get Northeast and South Atlantic together next year to see 382 plus Shelby's together!!!

There is a small group going to The Dragon on Thursday, Sept 13th and then going to the Blue Ridge Mustang Club of Asheville show on Saturday,15th.  Then on their cruise of the Blue Ridge Parkway on Sun the 16th.

Come join us.

Meet you there.....

Homestead is a bit out of reach for many - I think we should shoot for something more central to the region, maybe a track event at Road Atlanta?

Why don't you join us at the Dragon and the Asheville show in Sept.

Vic

[AndyGJ]

I might just have to do that....

ALSO, I just got off the phone with one of my long time customers and old elementary school buddy...he is now the GM for the Cherokee Ford/Alpharetta, GA dealership.  If there is any desire to have some kind of show or meet & greet here in North Atlanta - either separately or in conjuction with the September event for folks passing through Atlanta - he said he would open up the campus (and it is a very large new facility) and reserve the back lot for us if we wanted to hold something there.

He said that he would even supply food for TS members, etc. as well if interested.

If whoever is planning these events wants to contact me, I'll get them hooked up with Eric directly.  The dealership is located right off off Hwy 400 about 9 miles directly north of I-285 which circles Metro Atlanta...super easy to get to as well.

Just a thought....

Andy.

Andy,

A couple of us from Fl are leaving on Wed, 9/12 and are driving into Tellico Plains for the night.  Thursday morning, we will cross the Cherola skyway making our way the Tail of the Dragon.  After a couple of hours there, we will do more country roads driving into Asheville.  The plan on Friday, is to run up the Blue Ridge parkway to Diamondback and back to Asheville.  Clean the cars Friday afternoon and get ready for the show on Saturday.  Sunday, do the cruise with Blue Ridge Mustang Club along Parkway, go to awards ceremony and head back to Fl.

Would love to have an event with your dealer, but just dont have the time myself.

Hope you can join us for some of the time.

I know we have at least 3 people coming from Florida, 1 from Tenn. and another from the east coast of NC all meeting up at the Asheville show. Maybe even a few memebers from PA and NJ. All are TS members.

Should be good gathering and BRMCOA always puts on a good show.

Hope you can make it.

I think if you're interested in doing anything with the South Atlantic region , you need to be on facebook and move your event to South Florida.


Maybe it's time we set some things up on our own in the Atlanta area.

It really would be great to get some Atlanta area folks together though. Maybe even just a meet and greet at a restaurant? I just don't know how to get in touch with anyone. I guess we could just start a thread and see who chimes in


Done......lets see what turns up!

After a couple of hours there, we will do more country roads driving into Asheville. The plan on Friday, is to run up the Blue Ridge parkway to Diamondback and back to Asheville.

Sam, great to hear from you. Like Jim said for the most part. Joyce and I are leaving early wed morning, between 4 and 5. The place we're staying wed evening, the Lodge at Tellico, looks real nice so joyce wants to get there early.

Jim is heading back to Fl on sun, i believe. We're spending the sun night there and mon morning starting the drive up to Conn and RI.

Like Jim said,"Hope you can make it".

You must be leaving early, that's quite a hike to Tellico on the first day! (8-10 hours?) You guys going up I-75 or what?

Really sounds like a great trip, Tail of the Dragon is on my bucket list and the Blue Ridge Parkway is always beautiful!

I've got it on my calendar and if it works out, I'll let you know.  If I can't make the "full monty" I'll try and shoot for Asheville at the least.

Sam

[07gt500conv]

Sam,

8-10 hrs is no big deal for Vic and I.  I have to work the Wed we leave, so I will head out around 2-3 in the afternoon and drive into the night.  Done it numerous times and I love driving like this.  Will get up there around midnight or so.

Yes, we will go up I-75.  Probably come home on I-95.  Round Trip....
