Thumbs up DGRR 2011 is April 29 to May 1 - Central and South Florida, Who's going?

Like the title says.

Who's going to DGRR 2011 this year?

Are we going to start a caravan for the Central and South Florida people?

Lets get some ideas out there.

Hello FL DGRR attendees

We are currently trying to meet up in ATL, GA for late lunch and then head up to NVNC on Thursday April 28th, 2011... Hope some of you can meet up with us and caravan.

If we get a videographer, he will be filming some of the caravan.

Registered - still need to book room and arrange travel.

Are most guys trailer-ing or driving? I don't wanna know how much a trip like that on C16 would cost.

I want to know how everyone's planning on going too. I really want to make it out there, but I don't have any kind of trailer so i'd most likely have to drive all the way in the FD and I don't know how I feel about doing that, lol

I am in Jax but that counts right? I was thinking of posting up a FL caravan thread. For the past few years I have driven the RX7 up and have gone on I95 to I26. Because a bunch of guys are from central FL, I thought this year of cutting across I-10 to hook up with the central FL guys and then go up I75. Phil (Herblenny) is meeting up with the ATL guys and I thought this would be fun.

They are all going up on Thursday. Regardless, I had a blast hanging out with the Miami gang last year and hope I can invite myself again for this year. I do want to do a Tail or Cherahola Skyway run Friday morning and Gordon Monson wants to join in the group with his awesome NA 3 rotor.

always welcome to join us. Gordon too. i enjoyed the Skyway alot more than the dragon, dont know why? maybe it was the time of day or the elevation change maybe it was the traffic...it seemed that there was alot more traffic on the dragon.

you can rent a trailer from U-Hall. if i remember correctly, they are $45 per day. if you dont have a truck to trailer it, you can rent one too. drew rented both last year so you can ask him how much he spent per day. his screen name is moosejaw.

Everyone from south FL trailered last year. although i like my FD any trip over an hour long gets uncomfortable, i can only imagine driving up to the Dragon. my suggestion is to trailer.

That set me back a pretty penny
my advice
Bring a real truck (1500 or better), a little pickup will not do and you will be passed by turtles.
Ill be bringing my buddies 2500HD this year to save $$$$ instead of renting

Man, ATL Caravan is going to be HUGE!! Might be over 50 cars.

FYI: we have over 120 registered in less than 2 weeks... This is by far unexpected.

Wish I could trailer it but I think Gringo and I will be driving the 8 or so hours to the Dragon this year.
