By my estimations, there is only TopNotch and GrannyLinda and Sarge and his son, Brian.

2.    The few who learn by observation.
3.    The rest of them have to pee on the electric fence and find out for themselves.    Will Rogers

That was my estimation, also, although I didn't know about Brian.  No pgackerman?  He didn't state a decision, either way.

Dave said that Paul told him he'd have to leave by 6AM to get there in time.

I went on part of the run. I had to cut out early because we have kids and grandkids coming over. But I got some pictures.

The pre-run meeting was held on the 2nd floor of the Atlanta Motorsports Park clubhouse. Atlanta Motorsports Park is like a country club, except that the sport is racing, not golf. Here are some views of the track from the clubhouse...



Here are some of the cars gathered for the run...



This old Porche was very nice...



On the run, we stopped at the Appalachian Trail gift shop on top of Blood Mountain, where I took a few car pictures...



The V-twin on the front of this thing is not a decoration -- it's the power plant. And it was really cold up on the mountain (those guys were brave).


More cars on the mountain...


The rout was to take us on Highway 180 over to 75 and then north on Richard Russel Scenic Highway. But I dropped out as we passed the north end of Richard Russel, and took it south, on the way home. Here's some ice pictures to show you how cold it was up there...

My eyes are bad, but I only saw 1 Fiero.  It looks as if a wide variety of vehicles were represented.

I never thought of Atlanta as a road course, although I guess I've seen it in video here before.

My silver Formula is in the pictures. Fierofool's car was there, but hidden behind other cars in the pictures I took. Dave (Sarge) drove it.
Edit: Found it in another picture, and zoomed in to show it...
