*** S-E Caravan Thread ***

Post by Willard »

:mrgreen:

Heading up:
I am heading North 'early' (aka: "Arse crack of dawn" / "O-Dark Thirty") Thursday morning... but still wanted to start a thread for the S / S-E caravan.

Return trip:
I am still up in the air on this. I will most likely have to shuttle Nick/Dan back to the Midway area after things wrap up on Sunday at the track. I may just stay another night with them (split hotel cost 3 ways) or I may start back South and see if I can make it to Indy before crashing out. Either way I will need to purchase several (6-8?) cases of local brew before I leave the Chicago area.

As far as I know everybody is leaving Ryans in Nashville on Friday morning, I would love to get there even a day earlier but I know that would probably conflict with too many schedules to change it now.

I'm still debating if I'm going to go that way or just drive up on my own and maybe meet with the OH, KY, IN guys. I'd like to go with the nashville plan, but it's way out of the way for me and I'd like to get there kind of early in the afternoon on friday. We'll see.

it's not a terrible idea, I still want to link up with the convoy at some location. Nashville is very far out of the way for me but I'd like to follow the masses and at least converge at effingham with MW.

going to nashville adds about 230 miles to my trip and if I go my own way I can have a nice leisurely drive on friday and get there around 2-3pm fully rested and relaxed.

Not to butt in... but would G-ville be a better location/less miles/time for most in the caravan?

not butting in. you're from the souf! :P I was wondering that also, but it's certainly not for me. I think I may set out on my own path.

I had made that suggestion before, it seems like it would be especially easier for most parties involved. It can still be coordinated that everybody can merge at specified points to still have some sort of convoy.

Nashville is on my way up, about 11 hour drive from here. So I may go to Ryans Thursday.

On the way back I'm planning on a Cedar Point side trip before heading home.

I still want to make my place available for those who wish to crash in Nashville. Those that are interested please post up when you know for sure so I can plan accordingly.

It will be my brother and I + 1 guest (POSSIBLY 3) driving up. Probably too early to ask but, if it does turn out to be 5 of us will there be space? If you have a yard, we have tents lol

I dunno how Nolan and Nate plan to get to Expo. I'll go whichever way they go, so if that includes Nashville, then Nashville it is.

Are you coming up the alley to 75 or 95 to the turnpike to 75?

I may join you on the drive up.

We did it last year, so there's a good chance we might just do it again this year. I know that has been our plan when Nate and I have talked.

I don't know my route yet but I'm down to meet up with as many people as I can on the way up. Which route are you taking? I'm conveniently located in the middle of all major highways in NW Dade (Turnpike/75/95)

I'm in Tampa so I'm just going up 75 :) Craig may or may not be driving his ITR from Delray Beach, so if he does he may join you earlier.

I don't see too many people from FL (then again, I don't know many people) on the participants list, who else is going to make the drive?
