    I wound up with an unexpected free Sunday in the Atlanta area (Today!). We were working at Atlanta Motor Speedway so I'm staying down in Griffin, but I have friends in Marietta to hook up with.

    What is your suggestion for a race-friendly place to watch a race & drink some beverages without fearing for your life in a bad part of town?

    Thanks!

    the only thing I can think of is Andrettis, but its a good 20 minutes from Marietta. How long are you going to be in town. I live right off the highway, and I can provide a couple beverages and some Forza on Xbox.

    South Side Steve's is a bar off I75 in Griffin. Never been there but I hear they have a bunch of T.V's

    The owner is a local radio show host of some repute and reputation. If you meet him wash your hands after you shake.

    LOL Thanks for the info!

    We wound up causing a ruckus in a Hooters in McDonough. Where the Hooters Girls were the most UNFRIENDLY we've ever met.

    We should have known it was trouble when the manager met us with a Long Island accent & had a NY hockey game on nearly every TV in the joint. It took some convincing to get him to put the Cup race on one TV and the Aussie V8 Supercars on another.
