Hey all -
I will post the results from Atlanta after I get home from work tonight.
Sorry for the delay. Our Inland Mopars Car Club 15th annual charity-benefit car show was last Sunday and, after getting up at 3:45AM and not getting home until after 7:00PM, I didn't finish watching the recorded TV coverage until last night.
Check back later for the updated standings.
