What a great show for Elio at "Wings over North Georgia". For all of us proud Elioites, the continuous line at the booth was very gratifying. The performance of the EM 'Road Crew' was exemplary. Jerome, his Dad, Neil and the rest were exactly as advertized by previous show attendees, these folks deserve a huge thanks from us. Yeah, I know it's their job, but they never missed a beat and never wavered from true excitement about the product. Even one of the guys from "Smoke & Thunder" said how impressed and excited they were to be associated with a "Class Act" like EM. :D and the car is FABULOUS!!!
Thank you Paul Elio, my wife and I are ecstatic!!!

The only down side was the sheer size of the crowd, getting into the Airshow was a bloody nightmare. It was a disgrace!!

Air Show organizers weren't even remotely prepared and got caught with their proverbial shorts around their proverbial ankles. Paid for Reserved Parking passes were forgotten about and the 'Gold Rush' was held at bay for hours by a totally lackluster, often confused and disinterested staff as well as a boneheaded "Local Constabulary". DUH! :confused:, It's 10am, opening time and we have a five mile backup in both directions waiting to funnel into one single lane on the smallest road into the Airport, think we should do something?...... Naw, it's more important that we keep the lines straight in the parking lot. :mad:
You people should be ASHAMED!!.

Talladega on Sunday, with three times the attendance, took a total of 7 minutes from I-20 to ignition off. :p and not a whole lot more time to leave!
My solution, show up before 8 and no line at all and parked directly next to a side entrance and had a tent with drinks and private bathroom, photographers pass was definitely worth the money!

An Elio visit and 'Dega in the same weekend...Dusty, I'm officially jealous.

It was a trip, I think it will take at least a week to wipe the smile off my face. :D
Too bad getting into the airshow didn't involve only left turns..

Go fast turn left!! :D
Dick Trickle once said, in response to Drag Racers, "Going fast in one direction is one thing, turning around and coming back fast, is another". :p

"MAKE YOUR RESERVATION NOW …"

" we need your money NOW ….blah blah …blah "
