    Also, lets start a list of who is bringing what so we can prepare. Anyone have a portable grill, canopy, etc... please post up. We definitely need these things.

    I will be bringing a cooler of beer burgers and dogs if we have a grill to use.

    I need to get my ticket still. Anyone get any passes this year? :D

    I think FACE said he was going to check with Kingwrex about a tent. What about Cape Cod, is he coming out Mike? If so, is he bringing the tent, and if not, do you think he would let use borrow it?

    I can check with #1 about the portable grill again, and maybe this time we will have utensils and not have to use the flaps of the grill to turn our burgers and stuff.

    No I got there about 10 min before departure, I was walking around with the camera shooting everyones cars then you all left before I could get back in my car and join the bunch. I tried driving as fast as I could (about 100) to catch up and get shots on the highway but yall were doing 100+ too so of course I never caught up.

    No I won't be shooting this year. I'm just going to enjoy the show

    negative on the tent, can't get a hold of him.....

    you should at least shoot the drive up there, since we really haven't had anyone shoot use all together in a really long time.....just a thought....

    You should get to the Bass Pro Shop early. Most likely, they will have all the hardcore off-road rock crawlers out for their yearly show. It coincides with our caravan to Formula D each year, and might make for some good pics.

    Did you check with Road Atlanta? Usually they don't allow camping for this event.

    Per their website, http://www.roadatlanta.com/event_detail.lasso?-Token.eventfile=ev_drift.lasso&-Token.id=26
    NO CAMPING PERMITTED FOR THIS EVENT

    We need a Huge flag that say WRXAtlanta on it for next year, we were on the grand stand side at the very top next to where the road that goes under the track meets the road at the top of the grand stand.

    We also need to ask if we can park on the outside of the white fence where we were at.
