Gary,

I will be there with Elvis. I've decided against bringing the RV ... will just drive up to the Mitty each day.

*** NEW UPDATE FROM RICK AT HSR. UPGRADED LOCATION ***

Rick just provided this update on 4/24/19. The Cobra Corral will now be parked in the Festivals Of Speed.

Car Corrals of the World map attached along with schedule and entry list links.

I have identified with a "RED" rectangle with an arrow marked "NEW Georgia Cobra Club parking area" where Rick says we are to park this year.
I have also identified with a "YELLOW" rectangle marked "Old parking area, move to FOS" where we were originally going to park as a reference point for the change.

*** UPDATE FOR WHERE TO PARK FOR CAR CORRAL ***

Just in from Rick at HSR.

Rick has upgraded the Georgia Cobra Club car corral parking and moved us from the USA Corral to the Festivals Of Speed (FOS) car corral. This originally required a special ticket to get in but he wants more awesome cars in the FOS car corral and invited us to participate at no additional cost.

This parking is just a little further down the infield road, on the asphalt and not in the dirt/grass. To get there, drive past the USA Corral where we were originally going to park, go through the next intersection then past the Vendors booths off to your right, and turn right after passing the vendors and come in the back side to the FOS car corral. No special ticket required, just let them know that you are parking in the Festivals of Speed car corral and the Georgia Cobra Club/You were invited by Rick Goolsby and Joe Sabatini.

Wear your Georgia Cobra Club shirts if you have them.

See you Saturday!

If you haven't been to this event, consider going next year because the racing and cars were amazing!

We had an absolute blast and our friend ended up on the podium (2nd place / Group 7) on Sunday.
In addition, we were fortunate enough to see more than a few Factory 5's at the Cobra Corral.
Mrs. Go-Dad commented that we MUST return and we must bring our car next year.

A Great Time We Had So We Plan To Return Next Year!
