20TH ANNIVERSARY RUN FOR THE HILLS

[Fierofool]

The general manager apologized for the mistake of releasing our block of rooms.  They will honor the rates until August 14, as long as rooms are available.  You must ask for the Georgia Fieros rates.  Anyone who has made reservations so far and didn't get the group rate, please contact them and have them correct the charges.

[Fierofool]

For those who don't get a room at the Helendorf, or want to pay less for a room, there at least 5 other hotels directly in front of The Helendorf.  Rather than list them all here, go to Google Maps, enter Helendorf Inn, Helen, Ga.

Then scan to the East.  That's to the right.  Drag the map to your left and the hotels will show up.  Click on your choice and the information will come up to contact them.

Cant I just stay at my house? Im only 30 minutes away from Helen.

[Fierofool]

Can I stay at your house, too?

[scottb]

sure...... bring an air mattress or a sleeping bag, there's only 1 bed ......and i aint sharing it with you

[Raydar]

Just made my reservation. (Never one to rush into anything...)
Still got the group rate.

We will be holding our Saturday evening dinner across the street from the Helendorf Inn, in the confines of Paul's Steakhouse overlooking the Chattahoochee River. Current plans are that we will be inside the lounge. City regulations do not allow anyone under 21 to enter the lounge or any area where alcohol is served, even just to eat. There is a regular dining room and a deck overlooking the river, but the lounge is the only area that is large enough to accommodate the expected 30-40 attendees.

We will be requesting that you register your intent to eat on our registration form. In order to group us together as closely as possible, I must call them while we're out on our run.

There are no prices for food on the menu, for drinks yes, but not food. Do they have food prices posted on the door as per Germany ?

[Fierofool]

The little numbers in parentheses after the item name, I believe is the price of the item.

I hope to make it, I have been in several corvette runs    but there is something special about Fieros

In fact if anyone has a nice 88 GT   I would consider trading my 98 Vette,   
she looks good from 20 feet and has a sound that turns heads and the power to pass most anything on the highway.
I will gladly take anyone on a test ride  if they wear a helmet and prove she can hit 160 easily and 170 if I try
record speed on it is 190.
It had been banned from Bristol Street fights unless install a roil cage

[pgackerman]

OK, I'll bite.  What does a '98 Vette look like that you'd be willing to trade for a nice '88 GT?

[Fierofool]

Tshirts must be ordered by tonight, Sept. 4, midnight.

Remember that our Run For The Hills is at the beginning of the Second Week of the OktoberFest Celebration. Hotel rooms can be scarce and costly during OktoberFest. As alternate hotels within view of the Helendorf Inn are:

Jamestown Inn (706) 878-1451
and

If you think you may attend, reserve a room.  If plans change, you can usually cancel within 48-72 hours of your reservation.

These are some of the great items GrannyLinda has received from Fiero Vendors.  We will be selling raffle tickets and the drawing will be held Saturday afternoon after we return from the run. 

Additionally, Dave E Buoy from Canada has a need for a good left side axle shaft and a good delay wiper board for an 84SE.  He 's willing to pay a reasonable price for the items.  If you have either or both, bring them to the event.

Anybody still need a roomie?  I just got issued a reprieve from the warden!

[Fierofool]

Yes.  I had invited one of the new members we met at Stone Mtn., but he's reporting that his work schedule won't allow him to attend.  I have a room with two double beds.  See you next Friday.
