Last year I hit the road at 0730, which sucked b/c I wasted almost an extra hour stuck in B-more beltway traffic. I still made it to NHV by about 1830~1900 (direct route there), but I had to rush the food & gas pit stops to make up time. This year I figure if I hit the road 30~60 minutes earlier, I'll get ahead of the worst of the B-more traffic which should buy me the time to take more leisurely pit stops and still get to NVH around the same time. Don't know about you, but after 3~4 hours straight in the FC, I NEED a good stretch!
Sending a PM with my cell #, give me a ring when you hit VA on I-81 or make your 1st pit stop there and I'll do the same.
