Atlanta bypass

If you are going to Dixie for the champ tour and you are trailing your car and have over 6 wheels/tires to include your tow vehicle, you now have to use the bypass instead of going thru Atlanta. The sign is not easy to see, but when going to the Sediv meeting I saw it and asked a guy who just started working with me that used to be a Ga. State Trooper and he made a call to his former region and asked and they said yes anything with more than 6 wheels/tires combined has to use the bypass unless you are making a delivery. Just a heads up so no one gets pulled over as it would probably be 300.00 or more for that ticket they said.

Hopefully that means that Kristo and I can rip through downtown!

It's always been that way with the law aimed at Semi tractor trailers. At least 20 years. Open car trailers usually don't get hassled from what I hear but all it takes is a pissed off PO PO to ruin your day.

I just have seen signs where it says nothing over 6 wheels are allowed in the left lanes. That sucks. I was just thru there and didn't see that.
Luckily, the corvette and trailer are 6 wheels.. so I'm good
