OH CRAP! Little Talladega is this Sunday 08/01

Post by **thrdeye** » Thu Jul 29, 2004 9:06 am

I really wanted to do this this year. Would anyone want to go down there with me?

This is an Atlanta event. You would need to register online.

edit: If anyone would want to split a hotel room and go down Saturday, that might work nicely.

edit: It would be about 3HR:45M - 4HR:15M drive...not too bad

I'd love to go sometime, but I can't make it this weekend.... plus, uh, it looks like it might rain Sunday

weather.com says 30% chance of precip on Sunday in Munford, AL. I guess this time of year you never really know when a shower will pop up....plus, that's why I'll take the WRX.

Scoot,

When are you guys heading down?

Well it is a 3.5-4 hr drive. I have a way to avoid Anniston which has a godzillion traffic lights. We are staying a the Best Western in Oxford at the intersection of 21 & 78 near the interstate.

Considering a stop for supper and the fact that I would like to change my tires at the hotel, how about somewhere around 3:30?

Doug, you coming?

3:30 will work.

You guys meet up with me at Loudon exit 72 Wendy's?

Sounds like a plan. Do you have a GMRS or FRS radio?

Where are you staying?

Anyone else? This event is a hoot. And there is speed. Tony?

BTW, this event is not recommended for novices, in fact they are not allowed.

I wish I could go. I had fun last year. If anyone is going that hasn't been there, be sure your brakes work well.

I'll borrow a radio from Tyler.

Tyler, you listening? I need to borrow a radio.

Scott,

I found the Oxford Travelodge, which is about 12 mi away for $40 per night. I haven't booked it yet, though. Looks like your Best Western is $55 per night. Maybe you should change. I went through mapequest to get directions and then clicked on the Expedia link to find that rate.

Lemme know what you decide.

Thanks

Chris,

I have a room at the Best Western if you would like to split it.

Scott, where should I meet you?

I just found out yesterday that I didn't have to work this weekend, company golf tournaments serve some purpose after all!

You got yourself a deal, buddy!

Sounds good Chris!

I'm going to be out of town tomorrow, I'll check back with this thread on Saturday before I leave.
