Atlanta Here I Come: July 15-17

I'm heading out there July 15 - 17 for some training and track time in one of my all time dream cars. I'm looking forward to the experience as well as visiting Atlanta for the first time. I'll have some free time on the 15th during the morning and day time, I'm taking a red eye the night before. I may have some free time in the evenings as well. If any forum members want to meet up. Also, any suggestions on fun places to go or things do, let me know. I'm staying here Midtown Atlanta Boutique Hotels: Hotel Palomar Atlanta Midtown and will most likely be getting around on foot or with local friends.

I'm very excited. I still have the DuPont Magazine from 1999 with the C8 Spyder. I'm starting to believe in the laws of attraction.

I think I will have a professional instructor in the cars with me, sorry. I'll make sure to take photos and videos though.

Have the locals take you to the best rib place around and then out to the bars.. somewhere. I don't remember much of it, but I think I had a good time.

Let me know when you're free. I'm sure some of us locals wouldn't mind meeting you for a drink.

So I hear it's going to be quite hot and humid this week. How should I pack? How hot does it get on the track there?

It will be hot and humid. The track is even worse because of all of the concrete.
