It's about 170 miles... factor in traffic and speed limit... I'll guess about 3 hours.

[B]To help remember this weekend, a few of us will be filming as much of the happenings on Saturday as possible. We will edit the footage and make DVDs for anyone who would like to purchase them. They will be $15 shipped. We will have ordering information with us on Saturday. We will be filming as many cars as possible during the "Show and Shine" and getting interviews with the owners. We will also add some in-car action of the runs up and down the gap, and will have some spots on the mountain where we will set up a tripod to get as many of you in the film as possible. I can't wait to see everyone on Saturday morning!

Wheee!!!! I like that idea a lot! Think about it. It'll capture the sights, the sounds...more sounds! Heh. Probably almost be able to capture the smells, too.

I'll definitely be up for a copy.

I MIGHT be able to make it today or even tomorrow. It depends on when my friend can go.

My number is 404 452-7691 if any of you guys want to contact me when you are at the meeting spot.

Michael,

I'm leaving here in about 45 minutes.. and no more internet..

unfortunately cell phone service is limited in Deals Gap. And also at the fontana village.

When you get to Fontana, ask the person @ the front desk. I'll leave her/him with all the info about the event and location.
