I know myself and a few members of my group and family will all be there. Looking forward to it this year since I haven't been instructed yet that I can't go.

I'm been looking forward to this event since last years ended.

Awesome event for a great cause. If you have a vette, and love to drive it, you need to come this year. You won't regret it.

No doubt everyone that attended this event had a great time. I know I'll be there again next year.

I decided to document the event with video, and as such, I had several people ask about the camera mounted on my roof. Well, here's one of my five lap sessions, enjoy. I only wish the sun had come out a little more to brighten up the track.

CABC-6...October 18, 2008
I want to take the opportunity to say a quick THANK YOU ALL for the support! It was a great day! We will make an official announcement in the next couple of days concerning this successful event...thanks to you.

Although the caravan was one of the largest ever seen in Atlanta...THANKS TO YOU...we apologize for the difficulties about 30 of you had in the beginning of the caravan getting separated. We will make EVERY EFFORT to insure that this will never happen again. We have already indentied the process improvements that we plan to implement for CABC-7 to resolve this shortfall.

Thank You All For The Support.............

Kevin

Excellent video.
I wish you were in my group so I could have a video of you passing me.
Everybody else passed me so it would have been cool to have a video of it.

Great video Brian - wish we could have been there - I was in town for the weekend, but my car wasn't quite ready.

Glad there was such a large turnout to raise money for a very worthy cause.

Great time at the event saturday. The caravan to Lithonia was just plain cool. Seeing the line of corvettes in front when we would come over a hill was just amazing.
Even got a few new rock chips on the car from the grinding on the track, but at least I can say it was for a good cause.

We shot some in car video and was fortunate to get a fellow corvette guy to take some video of us coming down the front stretch. Hats off to him!

Caspersz06 has one of the videos already up on his streetfire page and we'll both try to get some more up by the end of the week.

Enjoy http://videos.streetfire.net/video/B...nst_192813.htm

It's been an honor and a priviledge to work the event. I pitted everyone on to the track and gave the last minute safety talk. Everyone had a great time and a safe time no cars or people got hurt. It's always nice to put names, faces and cars together. I look forward to next year!

BIG ATLANTA, it was great to meet you at the event. You and all the folks involved did and awesome job. The event looked bigger than past years. I hope we set a record for the amount of money raised.

Hey man. It was good to "sort of" meet you Saturday. I followed you in and parked next to you at the garage area. I'm bad about not introducing myself and my son was ready to get registered and out on the track. I thought it was cool when he said you had the fastest Corvette on the planet. He had just watched a special on TV that featured a yellow C5Z build by ECS. He had a absolute blast! 7 years old and he's already a track junky!

Just noticed that's me parked behind you there on the grid.
