[Mr. Clean]

oohhh shizzle. this has always been a large turn-out. hopefully one year we'll get police escort like ballers.

[Mr Egg Rollllll]

I plan on making an appearance...a great cause.

[SandM]

well, we are in discussions with gwinnett county right now about our police escort (inside gwinnett). There are also going to be a couple other changes to make it easier for everyone.

[SandM]

[SC400TUNER92]

Ill be there, any one down for lunch some where in the area, im from the south side so not familiar with that area, but i figure an after meet would be cool specially if its in doors and out of the cold

[SandM]

the after meet will be taking place at Andretti Speed Lab. They have food, games, and karts.

[bbuba]

Ima think about it...
The meet place is way far away
And I wish my truck didn't look so bad

[rossklogsdon]

Can someone give me a run down of what actually happens during this event?

Look on the first page for the YouTube video. That should give you some insight.

As for the meet, given the expected turnout, shouldn't the drive be a little longer due to the mass of cars?

that was the problem we had last year. the longer the drive, the more chance of seperation. last year there were multiple stops and some heavy catch up. the short drive is simply to make it easier to stay together.

we meet up and have an orderly drive to the hospital where we drop off the toys for the kids. after that we will all head to andretti's to hang out and have some fun.

[lanning]

Whats up Paul, Bill and I will be there.

[rossklogsdon]

Alright cool

[DSGB-GTS]

Exactly! The past 2 years we have all got split up on Friendship Road and then again in Cumming. I think a shorter drive will keep us all together and make the cruise more fun.

[Bacon]

Were there police escorts the last times? That may make a difference. I am down for either one regardless.

No police escort either of the past 2 years.

[Bacon]

I think I read that this year may present one. That should be able to keep us all together.
