The weather was great, the show field was packed, and all the events were crowded with eager enthusiasts out to have fun with their cars. The 2007 YearOne Experience, held at Road Atlanta and Atlanta Dragway, was our biggest and best event ever with record crowds and participants. Certainly the fantastic weather helped, but it seems the word is finally out about the Experience - it's great fun no matter where your particular automotive interestes lie.
We wanted to update you with a list of winners in the various classes and competitions here, and look for an all new YearOne Events web site with lots of cool coverage of the Experience, the 2007 YearOne Cup winner, and all the events and happenings on the YearOne calender.
