I know that alot of you will be either staying in a hotel or possibly driving down but I wanted to see if there was any real interest in doing some sort of a caravan.

As early as it might be, I think it would be fun to wake up Atlanta with some V8s rumbling through the city.

Saying that the weather is good my group will have a 2000 SS, Possibly a 2003 Z06, and more than likely a Daytona Yellow 2002 ZL-1.

If you are interested in getting a group together so that we can all park together before the show and also make sure that we are on time, post up. Depending on where everyone is located we might be able to meet up at the Marriot where they hold the Gathering Every year and then caravan down town in a massive horde of GM Muscle.

 

I'm all for meeting at the Marriott. I live about 10 miles from there and it's pretty much on my way to Atlanta anyway. I'm sure we could get Andy and the other guys that set up the Gathering in on this too. I will post on their forum as soon as a plan is made.

 

Good deal, it would be great to get everyone together and I am sure that Scott will be impressed with a nice Muscle Car Motorcade.

 

Any word on parking, if there is a Camaro caravan can someone get us some special parking out front?

 

As far as parking goes I have no clue, that would be up to Scott and the guys at GM. I don't know if that is possible but hopefully if he sees this and it is he can throw something our way.

At any rate I know there are several parking garages right there between and under the GA dome, and the Congress center that we can park in.

 

I'd be up for that.

 

4.5 hours away and no overdrive

 

I know I will be at the show. As far as parking that would be hard because it will be at the world congress center and most the parking for the congress center, Phillips arena, and the Georgia dome are mostly in one big parking deck..or in independently owned lots. It may be more of something to set up with Atlanta police to try and get something separate, and I can almost promise that will be very difficult to do. One thing is though, as long as there aren't many other events going on the deck can be pretty empty on some levels so you may get lucky. And trust me....hearing all those V8's in that garage will sound badass!

 

I agree with Chevycobb in the fact that it would be hard to have a place for everyone to park other than the parking garage. There are only two possibilities. 1. There is a two lane street between Philips Arena and the parking garage. It would make a cool showing to have 50 cars or so all packed in there. Of course everyone would be blocked in. 2. Right by that there is a two lane street that goes between the parking garage and the Dome then turns in front of the World Congress Center. We could line the curb or take up the two lanes closest to the median. It's all far fetched, but man what a showing it would be. We have got to get a message to Scott somehow and work something out. Look up World Congress Center Atlanta on Google Earth if you want to see what I am talking about.

 

Well I am up for anything. I would love to get a large group together. It would be fun if we could all park out front or where ever but honestly I think parking in a garage would be just as much fun with all that rumble.

Let me know what all of you are interested in doing and where you are wanting to meet up so that we can get kinda organized.

 

Ok, here is my thought. Everyone that is interested in doing this let's start spreading the word that we will all meet at the Marriott where we have the Gathering no later than 7am and leave by 7:15am. It's only like a 20 minute ride to Atlanta from there. If people who are interested want to start emailing me at blade757692@yahoo.com so I can make a list that would be great. I have been calling in a few favors trying to get the 2 lane street next to Phillips Arena opened for us, but I'm not dare promising anything. If there are any other thoughts or ideas please feel free. Sorry if I am stepping on anyone's toes since this wasn't my idea originally, but I thought I would get something going

NEW INFORMATION So I was down at Philips Arena last night and I managed a meeting with the head of security. He said he sees no problem with the request to park beside the Arena and he just had to get the idea past his boss. We are going to talk again the beginning of next week to see what details we need to work out. I just really need to start finding out how many cars to expect. Just like the Gathering we should get as many F-bodies as we can. Even if this doesn't work out it would still be fun to do the caravan down and just hit the parking garage.

 

When does everyone plan on making the trip down 75. That would be cool to have a large group of camaros on the highway. I don't have the big V8 but would love to join in, depending on the day.....

 

Wow you have made some really great progress with this. Thanks so much for doing all of this, and really don't worry at all about stepping on any toes.

Just let us know what you find out about the parking issue and then we will just plan from there. I am going to account for atleast 2 cars in my group very possibly 3 so there is my head count. By the way if you are interested in looking us up on the list in my group will be Michael Whitten(me), Ginny Robertson(g/f), Greg Brock, David Watts, and John Dyer.


I wonder if Matt Murphy would like to join us? May have to try and get in contact with him.

 

Well count me in, I'll be in a 99 Trans Am, and my bro-in-law in his 69 RS.
