Invitation to Sevens Event in the Smokies

[midgetracr]

Not sure where this should be posted on this forum. If it should be moved please tell me where and how.

 

The Smokie Mountains of Georgia, Tennessee and North Carolina have some of the best driver's roads in the world. Paul Whittle has run a loosely organized event for Stalker owners for the past several years called the Ambush. He has agreed to open it up to Sevens in general.

 

The Ambush will be held from September 18 thru the 22nd 2011 and centered around Helen Ga.

 

The Ambush is several loosely organized drives thru the best hilly, curvy and picturesque roads I know of. In the evenings we tend to gather at a local restaurant or have a cookout at the friendly campground many of us stay at. We will probably split into a couple of groups for the drives. There will be a group that drives very "briskly" and other group(s) that are more leisurely. We also tend to gather at an interesting place each day for lunch.

 

We usually avoid the Tail of the Dragon because it tends to have lots of traffic. Paul knows local roads that are less traveled and even better than the Dragon!

 

There is no organized track day or entry fee. Just pay your own expenses.

 

The suggested hotel is: Riverbend Motel & Cabins

134 River St

Helen, GA 30545

Ph: 706-878-2155

The suggested campground is: Creekwood Resort

Sautee, GA 30571

Ph: 706-878-2164

Creekwood has a few cabins available also

 

There is also a nearby luxury cabin available that sleeps 8.

 

I one wanted to stay elsewhere that is perfectly OK.

 

If anyone has questions, please feel free to call or email me.

That sounds like a great event. I have to warn you guys that there will be some funny looking German cars in Helen at the same time. It should be great fun!

I think this is good news but I may be wrong.

 

I confess that I am a cross dresser. The kind of person that is occasionally seen in a Caterham 7(Lotus 7). I was reading the USA7s board and guess who is having an event in Helen GA when we are there? You guessed it, there will be some tiny British roller skates sharing the roads with us. The locals are going to think the Martians have invaded.

This should add to the fun.
