Sounds like we need to set a Huntsville meet area then caravan to Chatanooga. From the sounds of it we should have 4-8 cars.

I need a meet time for Chatanooga then we will know what time to leave Huntsville.

Sounds good to me, for the life of me I can not figure out when this is going to happen from the thread.

Sounds good to me. I hope to go to Atlanta and get the car Dyno Tuned near this time as well but that is if they have room for me. The wife and I look forward to it. I will watch this thread to get the location for the jump off here in Huntsville

new car

So here is the new ride in my garage. Most likely what I will take to the gap. Its a 996 C2 with RUF body kit. Artic silver. Optional 18's, cold air intake, 26k miles-6 spd. What do you guys think?

Thanks Phil. I am loving this car. I will be doing a super charger kit on it soon(fall). Will not be a drag car but at 2900lbs and 430hp (after SC) it will be a beast on the track-curvey roads! It feels so good at 100+ mph on the highway and the brakes are insane! All I can say is do not get too close behind me at the gap!!!

Thanks, Brad! Thanks, Jon! I still hope to have my 7 up and running for the gap. If I do I will have my brother drive the 996 up.

When and were are we going to meet to leave out? Sounds like we have 2-4 rx-8's, Doc-1, HUS, HDP, Myself, and??

Phil, When and were in Chatanooga?

I'm trying to get in touch with someone in Chattanooga to find out where it might be a good place to meet.

otherwise, we might just meet at the TN border Rest area, off of I-24 and then go somewhere to eat! I thought it might save us time just meeting at the restaurant... i'll find out within next couple of days!

Alright.. Here are our choices..

Ryan's Grill Buffet & Bakery
6734 Lee Hwy, Chattanooga, TN (0.59 miles away From the Hamilton Place Mall.. .right off of I75)
423-855-5443

Grand Buffet
6901 Lee Hwy, Chattanooga, TN (0.61 miles away)
423-899-8989

Jumbo China Buffet
6940 Lee Hwy, Chattanooga, TN (0.68 miles away)
423-899-5488
Map of where Jumbo is (closest to the interstate)


Golden Corral Buffet & Grill
1808 Gunbarrel Rd, Chattanooga, TN (0.75 miles away)
423-894-3337

I'm picking buffets as it will accomidate 30+ people in short amounts of time.. otherwise, We'll spend 2+ hours easily waiting for food.

Also, other choice is everyone do their own lunch and meet at a certain place for departure.

I think its nice that we all eat together instead of going all different places..

I'm not opposed to Ryan's. Then again, I probably wouldn't oppose anything...you know me, I like to eat!

Alright! For those of you don't like Ethic food.. lets just keep it simple and pick Ryan's...

Its official! We'll meet at the Ryan's Grill and Buffet around 12-12:30PM and depart from there no later than 1:30PM EST (don't forget!)

Here is the direction to Ryans..

Take I-75 N
Exit #5 (Shallowford Rd)
Make a Left, over the over pass
Make another Left onto Lee Hwy.
Go down few blocks and you should see us!

Map below!

If we leave Ryan's Grill @ 1:30 EST that means we are meeting in Chattanooga @ 11 - 11:30 CST (Alabama time), right? We need to leave Huntsville around 9:30 am to get there by 11 (12 EST).

Don,

Thats correct! We are leaving 8:30 from Bham (9:30 EST). It will take us about 2-2.5 hours with one additional stop along the way (150 miles from Trussville Mazda to Ryans). We should be there by 12PM EST.
