Quattro de Mayo 2011

Wednesday, March 30th, 2011

Hello friends!

Spring is here, though I haven’t actually seen it. Nevertheless, that means that Quattro de Mayo 2011 is right around the corner; May 5th through the 8th! This year, we are headquartered out of the beautiful Brasstown Valley Resort in Hiawassee, Georgia, near Lake Chatuge.

I want to take a moment to personally invite you to this event. While the roads and the cars are, of course, an important part of the event, it’s the people that make Quattro de Mayo so great. Every year, we try our hardest to create a mix of exhilarating driving and social interaction, and this year is no exception.

This year, our schedule consists of 8 routes to choose from:

  • A Scavenger Hunt Thursday evening (earn raffle tickets)
  • Three routes to choose from Friday morning
  • A drive to Helen Friday evening (bratwurst and karting!)
  • And three routes to choose from Saturday morning

We’ve also found over a dozen local, non-driving activites, and will be hosting a banquet, with raffle, Saturday evening.

When you register for Quattro de Mayo 2011, you’ll receive a t-shirt, keychain, sticker, and dinner at the Saturday evening banquet. Can’t make it all four days? No problem.

So, what are you waiting for? Register today!

  • The Tail of the Dragon
  • Foothills Parkway
  • The Devil’s Triangle
  • Cherohala Skyway
  • Clingman’s Dome
  • and more!

Stay tuned as we announce our official lodging arrangements, routes, sponsors and banquet information.
