Hey guys i would like to meet and drive up with the local crew. What is an address the hess at 38 goldenrod road? Meet at 9-9:30 leave at 10? Just trying to confirm the intersection as i would hate to be in a unknown city at the wrong spot.
If anyone has a # to reach them on as well it would be great for someone like e who is clueless in these parts. I will have very limited Internet access so hopefully i hear from someone soon as i am still not too sure how far from here (seaworld area) some turkey lake road.
thanks guys.

BTW GA STATE PATROL are royal blue Ford Crown Vis with white/silver. Once you enter GA the speed limit is 70mph most of the way until you pass Road Atlanta and enter Suwanee.
There is HEAVY CONSTRUCTION after then and GWINNETT police cars are white Impalas. In contruction zones the fine is twice as much and from my understanding they are not playing with speeders in this area. After you pass the construction zone you are very close to the hotel, maybe 20 min.
In GA I can recommmend doing 15mph over as the fines are minimal before 15mph.
GA is a DRY STATE after 11:00/11:30 pm SATURDAY NIGHT, as liquor stores are closed on Sunday. You can buy alchololic drinks at restuarants on Sunday.
.08 is the BAL in GA and GA does not fool around with DUI/DWI!
For those traveling along GA 400 SOUTH (towards Atlanta) when they arrive, it is a toll road (50 cents) so have change or cash for the cashier....
In GA your car is your propertyfor those with heat and I'll leave it at that....
Radar detectors are legal...

Friday Evening Update
We've had a bunch of attendees stop by the Maple room in the meet hotel and register and get information for tomorrow. I'll be here in the 'Maple Room' (which is a little hard to find, just ask at the desk) until 11pm. Most everyone else is now at Andretti's or sleeping.
IF YOU WEREN'T / AREN'T ABLE TO REGISTER TONIGHT, in addition to the race ticket you purchase onsite, you must get one of our Lexfest parking passes to get into the infield hospitality area. You have a couple of options:
1) meet up with 1sicklex, Amy or Morris at Andretti's tonight and get your yellow car corral parking pass
2) Be at the front lobby of the meet hotel promptly at 9am tomorrow morning for the caravan over to the track. The 'Lexfest Team' members (1Sicklex, Amy, Morris, Will / Wiz2 and Mike M) will all have a few extra passes to hand out.
If you can't do either of those and you want to join up with us tomorrow you can:
1) C'mon to the race, buy your ticket and then park in the free (or other infield) areas... If you buy an infield pass and can drive by the corral entrance, we'll get you the pass to get into the corral. Just honk until somebody sees you and lets you in (we have a worker from Road Atlanta that will stop you).
2) If you're local and have cell phone numbers of local members who may be able to meet you outside the entrance with a pass
WHERE OUR CORRAL IS LOCATED:
Buy your tickets by driving by one of the kiosks (no need to get out of your car, you can purchase on the way in). After the ticket booths, you'll turn right into the 'Infield' area and go through a ticket area. Here is where they'll confirm your infield hospitalty pass. You'll proceed:
- directly up the hill
- turn left at top of the hill over the Suzuki bridge
- drive past the Corvette and some Porsche corral areas
- drive past the giant Audi sign and American Flag
- you'll see the vendor villiage to your right.
- drive along the road until the vendor villiage almost ends - our tent is immediately on the left, alongside a Porsche and Audi corral. It's right on the corner with a Lexfest 2006 sign on the gate. I'm going to hang a SELOC or Lexus sign on the fence if I can, or on the tent.
- Turn in BEFORE the tent to get in... if you reach the cross roads beyond the tent, you've gone too far.
Before the race starts we're going to do our best of show voting and raffle so that you can go watch the race and move around without having to travel back to the tentat a certain time.
JUDGING and raffle drawing will be done as soon as the caravan arrives and everyone gets settled...
Judging for 'best in show' between 10:30 and 11am
Raffle and awards between 11:15 and 11:30
The race starts at 11:45...
