    mkay, april 2nd at GaTech. I believe to enter a ride you must be Gatech student, staff or alum. THis is the second anual show.
    Last year had planty of cool rides.

    web page
    http://www.me.gatech.edu/autoshow/
    Sterling Skinner (ME deparment) does a lot of the organizing but many are involved. Sterling is the man.... any GaTech subie dorks have to meet him.

    Anyways, just spectating last year was a blast. It wasn't so much a car show as it was a great oppertunity to meet lots of car nuts associated with GaTech. From mid engine kit car builders to classic car collectors/restorators to race drivers / engineers.

    Any of you realize that a recent GaTech grad was cheif engineer for a team that WON 24 hours of Daytona recently????

    Anyways, ya'll should come out and or show your cars.

    Update for those that don't know:
    "Please be especially aware that we will be hosting Huibert Mees (Georgia Tech MSME 1989) as our guest speaker at the 3pm awards ceremony. Mr. Mees is the chassis designer of the 2005 Ford GT and will be driving this $150,000 car down from Detroit for us to view.

    In addition, General Motors will be showing the pre-production 500 horsepower Corvette C6 Z06 and C6 convertible.

    Shell Chemical Corporation will show a 2001 Ferrari Formula 1 car and will stage a competition amongst the students to see who can change one tire with an impact wrench the fastest."

    Yeah, to prevent the onslaught of trolls that created a problem a while back, the mods banned "free email addresses."

    I posted your pics in the A/V Forum under the thread I started :)

    Awesome pics :)
