Official FLORIDA Caravan Thread

I will edit this post with the names of those who actually plan to drive out to Las Vegas. I don't want to hear any "OMG thats so far" crap, I know from experience exactly how far it is.

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 - On home-brew biodiesel turbo-towing goodness
Joe (happynole) - in the ruby NX
Tiff (sumpsychochic) - in the red NX
Justin (99-SEL) - in the 3500cc sentra


Tory (EZcheese) - all alone

We need to pick meeting places along the path. Check www.maps.google.com for exact directions. The preliminary route will probably be I75 north to I10 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.

Dad's right, I will definately be driving out to Las Vegas. The only thing that would stop me is if the dates interfere with midterms or finals at school.

I will be driving my SE this year instead of the minivan.

I am not sure exactly, but it will be across I-10 to Texas and probably veer north from there.

Wherever everyone is planning to come from needs to start a caravan, and we can pick convenient meeting place like we did this year in Nashville.

Yeah I think the titans stadium was a good plan.
I wish we had a date so I can either make plans or not make any.

yeah thats her. She really seems to like the conventions for some reason, she has been to the last two. I guess it's a good excuse for a hardcore road trip.

I'll be going again this year, but I probably won't meet up for a caravan. Frankly I hate caravans because they typically slow you down, and I'll be crunched for time to get out there and back with minimal vacation days.

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.
