In case you missed the email invitation, here are the details about the Thursday Cruise Tour at SAAC-51. If you are arriving a day early, don't miss this chance to explore the mountain roads of Northern Georgia.

This event will be capacity limited. There a few slots currently available


Grab your keys and join fellow enthusiasts for a full day of twisting mountain roads, small-town charm, and some of the finest Ford muscle cars you'll ever see up close. This isn't your average poker run — it's a driving tour through the Blue Ridge foothills, with exclusive stops at two private collections not normally open to the public.
Starting and ending near the legendary Road Atlanta, this loop takes you north through the Georgia mountains into North Carolina and back, finishing in style with a happy hour wine tasting at Chateau Élan.
