I met up with some new people from the Columbus Ohio area, and we caravan-ed down to Georgia from a rest stop in Ky.

Stopped at a restaurant called The Border. I was very exhausted at this point, but I had some dinner and spoke with a few nice people.
Headed back to the hotel for the evening:

After a long day being out in the hot sun and detailing the car, you get pretty dirty. Here's my miraculous Z shroud...

Wrapped up the next morning for the ride back home. I couldn't afford the track day event:
