yeah..5 hours down to Markham park and returning the same day wasn't too bad. Figure we may leave on Wed, crash in ATL, meet with ATL caravan in am and make it there with everyone.

Gainesville has got some planning to do!

Being able to drive with lots more 7s on the road increases my confidence in the event I break down, nail in tire, etc.

South FL route north?

10) Evot23 - Eddie (Gainesville)
11) Ruler_Mark - Mark (Gainesville)

What route will South FL take up North this year and what day will you guys start your trek??
Would be cool to meet up with ATL on Thursday afternoon and all head to DGRR in one huge caravan but I think that means South FL would leave either REALLY REALLY early on Thursday or leave Wed for ATL then meet with caravan Thurs..?

Anyway, lets keep the planning going. Gainesville would like to meet up for sure.

^ Not really sure which day i'm leaving. It's really to early for me to know(kids, wifes school, work...ect)

Meeting up with the ATL caravan on thursday would be the $HIT!! I had a blast at last years DGRR

A large caravan of cars up to DGRR would be awesome!

Last year's caravan was really good,
Too bad those monster trucks had trouble navigating the twisties
They held everyone up.

Make sure your brakes/suspension are up to par... also your cooling system... very important!!

The Dragon will test them like no other!

Be sure to get in shape too
Us florida boys were wiped out after the first couple of runs
Every muscle ached in my body on the first day.

This will be my first go without the power steering
