WOW.....I'm a Tennessean......although I'm living in Jawja my heart is in Tennessee......and this is the FIRST time I've heard of this!!!!

I'll betcha there would be some people from clubs around ATL that would go to this if they had known.
Next year I'll try to let folks know and we'll be at the show this weekend as a spectator.....not driving the Vette...... but would have if I had known.

Me too! It seems that the East Tennessee Corvette Club is a bit ashamed of this event!

There's NOTHING on the ETCC web site about this event.

Even though my club (ETCC) doesn't seem to approve of this event, my wife and I will be there.

Our club is Vettes of the Smokies. We have attended this event for many years. We enjoy this event very much. Hope to do it again next year.

How about postponing the event until mid October. That way, many of us can make it too.

It's over. It's about 1am. It was a fantastic event. I think it was one of the best I've attended. Great cars. Great people. Great fun.
