Points Rally #2 - The Summer Rally
Sunday, June 22nd 2008

This event will be the Rally version of Porsches and Planes. The Rally will begin and end at the Dixie Wing of the Commemorative Air Force hangar at Falcon Field, the Peachtree City airport. The Dixie Wing has six operational WW II aircraft with two additional in restoration. This will be a no-ropes display and you can see up close, fine examples of aircraft such as the Douglas "Dauntless" and the Beechcraft "Expeditor". In restoration is a rare Bell "King Cobra". For more information about the Dixie Wing and the available aircraft for viewing, please visit their website at www.dixiewing.org.

Rally Registration, on Sunday June 22, begins at 1:00pm and first car out is scheduled for 2:00pm Please plan to arrive close to 1:00, so that you can be registered, teched and meet some of the other participants before the drivers' meeting about 1:30. The drive from the I-75/I-85 interchange at Brookwood to the Dixie Wing hangar will take just over an hour, so please set off early enough to be there shortly after 1:00pm. Registration fee is $10 per car.
Bob & Suzanne Minarcine are laying out this "South-of-the-City" Rally route.

Please bring a pad of paper, writing instrument(s), a watch that displays seconds (digital is best), a clipboard to hold your Rally instructions, while you rally and your choice of beverage for the after rally social. Don Enderlein, a Merrill Lynch financial advisor and Peachstate member, will host the after Rally social with plenty of barbeque. He is also a member of the Dixie Wing and has graciously provided the hangar for registration and the after Rally social.
