Default The Mille 2011 World Record Porsche Tour & Festival Atlanta Nov 5th

Hello everyone, I've been planning this event for over 6 months and spent hundreds of hours getting to this point to let you all know about this.

This is The Mille 2011 www.TheMille.com

Our goal is to set a Guinness World Record for the largest parade of Porsches ever. The West Coast always has the best Porsche events, until this one.

Summary

The Mille 2011 will coincide with four key Porsche Milestones:

• 60th Anniversary of Porsche in the USA
• 51st Anniversary of the Peachstate Porsche Club of America
• 25th anniversary of the Porsche 944 Turbo
• 25th anniversary of the Porsche 959

The Porsche Mille is set to be a historic event and gathering of Porsche automobiles at Atlanta Motor Speedway in Hampton, GA on November 5th 2011. The Mille will provide multiple activities for Porsche owners, enthusiasts and their families. The cornerstone of the event is an attempt at a Guinness World Record with the largest number of Porsches in a single parade.

Important Event Information:

You think? I think I have been to a lot of events that cost a lot more than 30 dollars and never got a shirt. The Mitty two weeks ago was 50 bucks for the weekend, and you don't get a shirt unless you pay for it.

Have you ever seen "Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels" You sound kinda like Nick the Greek.

This sounds like it is going to be a good event. How many people have signed up? What arrangements are in place if it rains? I'm pretty interested.

I'm looking for sponsors small and large for The Mille. So far I have RUF US, DuPont Registry, Auto Atlanta, LN Engineering, PorschePurist.com, P21S and 9Magazine signed on so far. Lots more have registered for the event!

If anyone can help me get in touch with someone at Rennlist please let me know. I've been sending emails for months unanswered.

We plan to bring the Supercharged Porsche 928 to the Mille after we complete our Bonneville Land Speed record runs. This is the Pike's Peak Hill Climb car, now converted into LSR. Win, loose, or draw - we'll be there!

Happy to be a sponsor of this event. Hope to see you there!
