Attached is a note from John Montgomery about the 2002 Atlanta Italian Car Day scheduled for October 5th. This is one of the most outstanding and prestigious one day Italian car events in the Southeast and I encourage all of the Southeast Pantera owners to get their cars ready for the big event. If you want to see some outstanding and rare Italian iron this is the event! We had 9 Panteras in attendance last year for our ground pounding entrance and I�m sure we can do even more cars this year. Let�s go Panteras!

Atlanta�s Sixth Annual Italian Car Day!
Date: Saturday, Oct. 5th, 2002, 10 AM to 3 PM.
Place: Buford Dam Park, just 1 mile east of Buford Dam power generating station off Buford Dam Road. This is a new venue for Italian Car Day, close to West Bank Park (1996 to 2000 site), but on the opposite side of the Dam near the Corps Office entrance.
Registration fee $15/car (includes lunch).
All registration is at the door like last year. Registration INCLUDES dash card, and a free hot lunch/drink and one raffle ticket for door prizes donated by vendors. The registered car is eligible for an Owner�s Choice Trophy for their registered marque and also Best of Show. (An ALFA won �Best of Show� last year!)
Italian Motorcycles have their own class again this year. Only registered car owners have voting privileges. Best of Show, selected by peers, is the top honor again this year. Very nice 4 color trophies were awarded last year.
Also, extra lunches are available for small nominal fee for others in your party.
Last year vendors donated over $2000 in door prizes. Extra raffle tickets sold at the event for $1 each.
We expect to exceed all records this year, and therefore have secured a larger venue than previous years. This is the largest park on Lake Lanier available from the Corps of Engineers.
We can handle 200 cars and perhaps we will achieve that milestone this year.
(Look out British Car Day guys, we�re gaining on you!)

Last year was a wonderful show with over 125 registrations! I think everyone is looking forward to displaying their cars/bikes at the 2002 show. Anyone who wishes to help out is very much appreciated.
Please contact me personally if you can help. We will also contact registered attendees from 2000 & 2001 on our database with a postcard mailing this summer. Please remind your fellow Italian Car enthusiasts about the show.
May photos are available from last year�s show if you can�t wait!
