That should put you in at around 8:45 so it should work well. BTW if you come in on 295 there are a couple of speed cameras on that road in DC so be careful.

Ok so to clarify, are we meeting at IHOP at 8:30, or 7:45? Or is the 7:45 in reference to caravanning to IHOP? I just don't want to miss anything.

The 7:45 is in reference to the caravan meet up time on I95. They expect to be to IHOP by 8:30.

For all of you that still need to get your car fixed, you can do it!

For the spring trip with 2 days left to go Wes didn't even have all the pieces to start putting his engine back together. Hell, it was still in his basement with 24 hours to go. Get them running!

I've still got two jackstands if you want to borrow them. You will have to pick them up though.

United States Park Police for most of it, and we are going to be driving right past two of their stations so no effing around. Also, if you don't know, DC police will ticket you for violations under your own state's regulations e.g. expired Va safety inspection sticker. Make sure you are up to date.

But, this is going to be a chill day of cruising so we shouldn't have anything to worry about.

Likely the Fb, although I may let Matt drive it and do camera duty riding shotgun in another car. Depends if he can't get his fixed in time and is interested.

I don't want to jinx us, but so far the weather is looking to cooperate with us on Sunday. With that in mind, I want to get a handle on who is planning to show up and what you will be driving. If your vehicle is still in limbo, say what you hope to show in and put your backup in parenthesis. (if you are only showing up if you can get your car running, write "out" in the parenthesis)

1) He's on Toroids - Rocky - FB (FD)

2)

3)

well, I received a call from the vendor. my gauges will arrive today. However, There is a NASTY front right shimmy at anything over 40mph. I need an alignment badly but this is something I cant figure out. So unless I get it fixed on saturday I wont make it either way I WILL be at DGRR and a few other events starting spring.
