probably I75 toI10 west to Lafayette, north to Shreveport on I49, then west on I20 to Dallas, up 287 to Amarillo, and I40 west from there all the way to Vegas.

Assuming the track day is Friday, when would you guys plan on leaving Atlanta? I was thinking Wed morning between 4 and 6am. Probably leave to head back to Atlanta Mon morning about 3 or 4am.
I guess I will drive out with you Torry - my brother is moving to Kansas so I will not need to stop. Are the details for the dates set yet? and WTF HAPPENED TO THE FORUM?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You going to drive or ride with me? If you ride with me then we won't have to stop at all. If you are driving too, I'm going to have to take a power nap or 2 on the way out there. I can't stay awake 40+ hours. For the Los Angeles convention I think I stopped twice for rest, once for about 4 hours and another for about 6 hours. I'd imagine Las Vegas will be roughly the same.

And as far as I know, dates aren't set yet.

Straight through is the way to go for sure.

I'll drive straight through, but with a 40 hour drive, I'll have to stop once or twice at a rest area and catch some Z's. It will still be a "straight through" trip though. No planned stops, just a few hours rest when I'm too tired to drive.

If I have somebody to share the drive with, then straight through no problem. 40 hours by yourself is tough.

What is this you speak of? Sounds interesting....have a link? I would like to drive staright through like old times, but if Steph and I both come, we will have the baby then, so if I dont have anyone else to help drive (unless Tyler comes) I may have to stop once. The crater seems like a cool stop.

The crater is cool if you've never seen it, but it's more like something you want to spend the day looking at, not just an hour or so.

Thats good.....I know what you mean. LOL, for some reason, everytime I picture you when you are talking to people on the forums, the only mental image I can usually picture of you is you back at the 03 convention, trashed in some long black robe/cape thing Halloween costume because it was Halloween.

I doubt it. Not sure about Brian, but Tim usually doesn't drive when it's more than 15 hours or so away.

Post up if you have the balls to do it, which I doubt any of you actually do, and I will add you to the list. I have never had any more than 4 people actually join my caravan, so I won't get my hopes up.


Will & Lisa - in whatever car we can muster
Justin - in the gas guzzler with SE-R in tow
Joe and family (happynole)
Justin (99-SEL)


Tory (EZcheese) - all alone

Hey buddy, you should change that. I'll most likely be towing with the Ram 2500 with the Cummins Diesel...the gas sipper baby! That thing gets 20-25mph towing my car behind it! Not to mention, I'll probably have boat loads of bio-diesel with me that we make now, so the diesel will only cost me a little under $1 per gal


BTW....if you and Lisa cant muster a car, you could always ride in my car while I tow it...lol jk

Sounds like Josh plans on following me out there as well, so you can add him to the list.
