Dave we sure wish you could have made it down, the weather gods did dish up some mighty fine stuff.

Here's more pics and video from Sunday, kind of mello with a bunch of those DGRR's running around.

Saw some really nice RXs, couldn't see more since I was helping with the corral. Next time I do this I'm going to forego helping so I can just hang out, and I'll either be in the wife's 8 or my 7.

I've got my 146 photos here: http://photobucket.com/themitty2011

They're pretty random, and 80% of them are from an iPhone. Some good shots, though...

Nice stuff!

I used to live in Atlanta and brought my Miata up there once. Good times and beautiful cars. Great memories, thanks!

In case you didn't know, www.doublevision137.com took track pictures of everyone's car. The Mitty pics aren't uploaded yet, but you can buy all sorts of prints from them...

From a former Miata guy: Someone needs to burn that orange (former) Miata. I actually prefer the fur car to it.

Gee I thought the orange Miata was kind of cute:

But I agree, the Fur Car is cuter:

That's Wallace in the driver's seat. Rumor has it he has 20 FB's parked in his back yard.

Nice pics Brett and Michael! You guys that got out on the track got all the best shots.

I just made it back home last night. What a great event!!! It was a lot of fun meeting people I've "known" for years for the first time.

Ray, thank you so much for your hospitality. You have such a beautiful place, and your wife is an awesome cook (even when working with a handicap).

I'll try to get some photos/videos up when I get a chance. I put nearly 3,000 miles on the car over 7 days, and am absolutely AMAZED that I had no issues with the car or with the cops, then entire trip!

Heading home, I drove up along the smokey mountains and spent two days doing it. Can't wait to get back down there again...

Great to hear you are back home safe and sound Mark! You out-of-staters made this year's Mitty really special.

Hope you folks come back down next year!
