Hey Brian. I’m not sure if anyone has pointed it out, but that weekend conflicts with the big Global Time Attack/Formula Drift event at Road Atlanta. I know attendance needs to be maximized, so I just wanted to make sure you folks knew about the other event.

Rocco… Brian said he’s having issues logging into the site but unfortunately it’s impossible to avoid all potential conflicts. An event like Chasing the Dragon requires a lot of early planning. The date for this years Dragon Hill Climb was set and announced in June of last year to the point of hotel rooms being booked for workers then. Hopefully you can find a way to make it up even so.

I’d like to volunteer for the Hill Climb event, who do I need to get in touch with? Thanks.
