What was I thinking.. Driving during spring break

[sdoll]

We are headed to Atlanta during spring break. Since I spend every spare second on the DIS boards it just dawned on me that the drive to Atlanta is the same day everyone else will be headed south on 75.
We plan on driving as far a possible Thursday night but what would be the absolute latest we should plan on arriving in Atlanta to avoid the brunt of the traffic?

I drive through Atlanta all the time. There is a window from about 2pm - 4pm that you can get through fairly quickly and then again any time after 7pm.
