We should make this a monthly meet! I will join the meets once my car is back from GTM or if Jonathan, Ben or Jeremy wants to give me a lift in their z :) hehe

There better be a lot more next time!!

I hope there are a lot more next time people at the next meet. I'm going to be sending out emails some time this week about our next meet. I suggest we choose between a drive to the mountains at Canton or Stone Mountain.

By the way, I saw this GTR yesterday at Bikelanta at Mountain Motorsports. Sorry guys, it was fenced off so I could not get better pictures.

I don't mind giving you a lift :driving:

You know I'm in, work schedule allowing of course!! :tup:

Our Next Z Meet Date, Time, & Location
 

What's up guys? I hope all of you enjoyed the rest of your weekend. I know many of you have been discussing the date of our next Z meet. For the guys who were unable to attend the one on Saturday, I'm thinking that the next one should be sooner then later.

Please vote for the date that you prefer:

• Saturday, June 5th
• Saturday, June 12th

Please vote for your location of preference:

• Mountainous Roads Near Canton, GA
• Picnic & Photos at Stone Mountain

Selecting one location before the other simply means that we will do it for out next meeting, and the other one for our following meeting.

Have a good week fellas!

P.S. Be looking out for everybody's contact information in your PM.

Good fun guys. You have some great rides. I think we definitely need to do a caravan.

Saturday, June 12th
Mountainous Roads Near Canton, GA

:iagree:

I'm new to the boards and have a '10 370Z Touring/Sport. Would be glad to come meet up with the group. Preference is Stone Mountain but any Saturday is usually ok if I'm not hanging out in Savannah.

I know I can't make the 5th, but probably can make the 12th.

I might be able to make the 12th but I have a trackday the 14th so it will depend. Either location is fine :tup:

I work on the 12th so the 5th is better and either function is fine for me!! Understand majority does rule and that's cool!!

Right now, either dates are good for me. As we get closer, I'll let you know for sure.

Im good for either date. So far. Will hafta confim. I would prefer that we go someplace other than stone mountain (dont that waaayyy too manytimes)

I usually have to work every Saturday but Sundays are good.:tup:

By the way, who was driving the blue 370Z on 316 tonight headed toward Athens around 7pm?

Definately agree on the monthly meet!

That's the plan. Right now, we're trying to plan our next meeting. From the information that I've gathered so far, it looks like it's most like going to be June 12th in the mountains.

I'm going to be sending out information soon, so we can decide at what time we want to get together. I know some of you work on Saturdays. My hope is that most of us will be flexible enough with the time, so everyone can attend.

Sounds good, will be down for that.

If we decide to go into the mountains, we all could meet at my house or at a McDonalds or Starbucks in Canton.

Next ATL Z Meet -- June 12th -- Mountains Near Canton, GA
 

What's up guys? According to the votes that I've received from everyone the majority voted for June 12th, at the Mountains near Canton, GA.

Now it's time to decide what time you prefer. If you would like to attend on June 12th it is important that you cast a vote, so the group can try to accommodate your schedule. Some of the guys who were with us last Saturday are working that day, so I asked that you consider them in your time selection. My guess is that they will be more likely to make it if we have meet in the early evening. I think it would be nice to have everyone who was at the last meet and more. If you have a buddy with a 370Z, please invite them or PM me their contact and I could invite them as well.

Please select from the following times:

1. 10:00am
2. 12noon
3. 2:00pm
4. 5:00pm
5. 6:00pm

P.S. For some of us it's a 2 hour drive to the mountains near Canton, so I hope that we will able to get together for more than an hour or two. Since the ride there and back is going to be 4 hours. This applies to me, Jeff, and Mike. I don't want to sound selfish but I think it's important to know. I hope I didn't forget anyone else from the eastside.

What roads in the mountains are we going on?

I really don't know. John said that there are some nice roads by his house for a caravan. I need you vote buddy.....:happydance:

I'm in.

I'll go w/ 2pm. I've mapped out a route going up 5 north of canton, east on 53, north on 183 to 136 going back west, down through Jasper back on 53 west over to 5 and go back south to Canton. I'm sure there may be other routes but that looks to be a nice cruise. Check it out on Google Maps. Its saying 81 miles.

I'm not familiar with the area, so I'm just going to follow the group. I would speak to John about a route because he lives in Canton. He would know the best route. I will get the information from him and add it to the information for the meet.

I vote for 10am since the roads will be less crowded and there is a lesser chance of rain in the morning (I'm no weatherman, but T-storms usualy pop-up in the PM), but I understand that there are some that need to travel from afar, so later will work as well for me.

If we have about the same number of cars as we did last weekend (7), we could meet at my house - there is plenty of street parking. If we end up with double that number, it probably would be better to meet at a parking lot (although it would be cool to see 10+ Zs driving through the neighborhood).

The spot to take pics I was referring to in an earlier post is north of Jasper on RT 136, east of Wheeler cabin Rd. For those who are interested, we can then go further east onto RT 52 to Dahlonega, then RT 60 north where the roads get REALLY twisty and steep.

60 is a monster :tup:

can you guys see this route?

Untitled - Google Maps

Yeah.....That's nice right there. It looks like a lot of fun.:tup:

For me, the earlier it is, the better. ;) But, since the world isn't centered around me, I'm down for any time throughout the day.


On a side note, who is down for next week's Varsity meet?! I want to caravan down there!:tup:

hey any time is good for me. what date is this set for? i think for me the 5th might actually be better.

The majority voted for June 12th.

Looks like a good route!

What about this on the 12th? It is certainly something that you ought to do sometime this summer. It is white knuckle driving!

Georgia's Dragon - The Suches Loop: Georgia Motorcycle Rides

Its a great route. I've driven it. Just a bit of a drive for some folks. That's easily 2+ hours for some guys just to get to.

I drove it last year - it's a blast, but i agree that it might be a long haul for some. The route you suggested is nice too. If you are a skier, I would say that the Georgia Dragon is a black diamond and the one you suggested a blue square.

:icon18: Nice reference. I'm actually a snowboarder so I know what you mean. We could do the dragon at some point maybe during the summer and have a picnic up at Vogel or somewhere around there. I know Import Atlanta does something like that every once in awhile.

I've done all those roads with my VW/Audi guys for the last 10 yrs!! You'll enjoy it! I also took my Z up there first weekend of ownership! Have fun!!

You're talking like you're definitely not going to be able to join us on the 12th:confused: Well, if the meet is in the early evening, I hope you'll be able to make it.

Yeah, I'm always going head to head. I'm confrontational like that :icon18:

I don't recommend night driving. You guys should leave in the AM when the air is cooler!! If you do decide for later I'd go but don't change the schedule for me!! I'll be wiped out from work anyway.
