Default Smokies GT Car Event - Spring 2017

All,
As many of you know we do the Smokies event every Spring with a track day, airstrip rental and amazing mountain drives. The event kicks off in Atlanta on 4/21 this year. We need more GT4's - we only have about 5 GT4's registered out of the 45 GT Cars that are currently confirmed to show up. There is a thread on the 991 board, we'd love to have some more GT4's! PM me or Haku or fill out our form at smokiesgt.com for more info.

Heres a cool vid we had Remedy Films do last year -


It's a great weekend, with extremely fun people, cool cars, good food and beautiful mountain resort. Many people bring a buddy for a co-pilot, about half or more bring spouses, and others ride solo.

Last year the event raised over $40k for the Cystic Fibrosis foundation - one of our members have 2 kids that battle this disease every day and we are on a mission to stop it.

Same post going up on the 997 board.

Thanks! Sean

I don't think I have ever had more fun with a car group than I've had with the Smokies people. The road selections are amazing. The GT4 was built for these roads. If you have never been to Atlanta Motorsports Park here's your chance. Like the roads this is a great track for the GT4.

There are plenty of people to lend a hand if you need something. Also, GMP Performance will be there with a trailer and support crew.

This is an obvious bump. Very few spaces left.

Here's a taste of what to expect.

Got a very kind invite to this, and trying to see if I can make the dates work.

Sounds like good fun!

Roll up, roll up! VERY few spots left...

It's a few days of GT fun and its supports a great cause, The Cystic Fibrosis Foundation!

Here are some teasers from 2016.

Just sent you a PM about this. I'm interested and would like to make it work out, but not sure that's going to be possible. Headed up to this area this past fall on my motorcycle for a camping/road trip, and would like to return in the GT4 if possible. This sounds like a great time. Send me some more info, please.

If any one is on the fence just do it. I PROMISE you will not regret it. This will be my 5th Smokies event in 3 years and it is not a short drive from Wisconsin. I have met some lifelong friends and the events are a blast. I never thought I would find a car event my wife would love. She has ZERO interest in cars but she enjoys the events as much if not more than me. She is even learning some PTS colors but she still hates Ruby Star. You can't win them all. LOL
