AAA Gold Plan..

Most guys drive their cars on up. This is what we did last year and will most likely do again this year. It's just more fun plus it looks like my mechanic (Jesus Padilla) is going in the caravan so if the car breaks down, that's even better than having AAA

You are though welcome to trailer the car and we'd love to have you join along.

I am also planning to attend with Dale from the Panhandle area , and hopefully some of the others here will go too ... we go to Birmingham to meet up with the NOLA / Mississippi group , and the Alabama guys ... met up with Phil and crew , and Caravan-ed to DGRR , was a great drive !!

I'll might be doing this, I have 4 guests coming with me and we won't fit in the rx8.

Would love to have you join in.

Is it possible your group could meet us in Birmingham or along the way TO Birmingham ?? ... the more the merrier , and I've driven the route you are speaking of , and honestly , the route we take out of B'Ham is a much nicer drive ... just saying

FL group David is talking about will not come near Bham.
If they want to meet up with us, that's 140 miles to Bham and then additional 80+ miles for them.
Only way we might be able to meet up would be to meet up in ATL. But I think that would add about 60+ mile longer journey for us.. Best would be to either meet off of I-75 past Chattanooga or somewhere near the NVNC....

Yes, Phil is right. Our best bet is to go up I95 and across I26 to I40 west. Seems like those that want to go up I75 have other persons to hook up with so it look like we're all covered.

You need to link up with us then. I'm in Jax and it would be on your way. I'll see Jesus Padilla (Kilo Racing) this weekend and I'll attempt to figure out who is coming from Orlando.

The plan is for you guys to leave Orlando early Thursday morning, link up with with others in Daytona and then with us in Jax. I think some Miami guys might be joining too so it should be fun.

I'll post more up soon.

Hey Hey

I will be towing the 1st gen on the trailer again this year behind the Dually.

I was gonna have my oldest (16) follow in the 91.... get some long term seat time.. but the wife nixed that. Either way he didnt get his license till about a month PAST DGRR... so he cant get his full license till then.

At this point I will be towing from St. Pete up 75. Plan was to do the Atlanta route.
The dually will pull a house to about 65 or 70.. but go 75 and the gearing causes MPG to drop to the sub 10 range. Down from 20MPG.

Im gonna have us on the road around 6 AM... 7 at the latest.

I will subscribe to this thread to keep an eye on things.
