Any 964ers attending the Mille Porsche Festival in Atlanta?
Hello 964ers, I'm putting on a tremendous Porsche event for the East Coast called the Mille Porsche Festival. We are going after a world record and want to have as many 964s at this event as possible.
I do realize that there are several threads about The Mille on Rennlist, but we are reaching out to everyone and as many Porsche owners as humanly possible. Lets try and bring the record to the US.
Anyway browse the website...

WELCOME!! To coincide with four major Porsche Milestones; the 60th Anniversary of Porsche in the USA, the 51st Anniversary of the Porsche Club of America, the 25th Anniversary of the Porsche 944 Turbo and the 25th Anniversary of the Porsche 959 , TheMille.com is embarking on a challenge that will be a record breaking attempt! The current Guinness World Record is 2325 and was set in Germany 2008 by Ingo Robener with PorscheFreude, thats an amazing number of Porsche. Its time to show our American pride and lets break the record! My official Guinness World Records Membership # 317991 and our official record claim # 361886. We will also take the time to celebrate the Porsche Aftermarket.
I'd like to thank Porsche Cars North America for their help and generosity. THANK YOU PORSCHE!!
We are aware of guests & caravans of Porsches coming from California, Texas, Mississippi, Connecticut, Tennessee, Georgia, Florida, Louisiana, North Carolina, South Carolina, Maryland, Alabama, Oklahoma and Kentucky to attend this event. We cannot wait to see how many cars show up! We are getting a good number of pre-registrations now! Keep an eye out for our ads in PCA Peachstate Presse, Dupont Registry, Excellence Magazine and 9 Magazine! Thanks for your support.

Got an email from Porsche today letting me know that I will find out next week at some point, what "historic" race cars they are bringing to the Mille. We will be getting a lot of cars from Rennsport in CA! I'm super excited.
