I was wondering when you guys are doing the group drive to Helen, GA. Above it says the 18th, but on your Facebook page it says the 17th. Would you accept a MINI from Lookout Mountain, TN, for your drive? Thanks!
The Helenblitz starts on the 17th through the 19th but our group drive is the morning of the 18th. Would welcome a Lookout Mountain, TN participant
Hi – I’m Heather McCloy, and I really enjoyed meeting many of you this last weekend. I’m writing an article on the Helenblitz event to submit to MC2 magazine, and I understand someone from your club led one of the three drives that Saturday. Could someone tell me who led the drive for your club, and what roads you drove on the run? I wanted to be sure to mention it in the article. You can e-mail me at “siospins@charter.net”
Thanks so much, and look forward to seeing you guys again next year, if not sooner!
Heather, I’ll put this request out on our forum to make sure we can get you the information needed.
