Gainesville, FL: my plan was to leave on Wed late afternoon to be in ATL that night. Wake up Thursday to meet with ATL guys for the caravan.

There is a slight chance that I will be leaving Thursday am (EARLY) to meet up with ATL caravan.

Whats the central and south FL itinerary?

FYI: I've worked out a deal with the organizer of Mitty.

They have agreed to give DGRR attendee a discounted entry fee to the MITTY 2011.

Here is the deal..

20-49 cars - $15 plus infield parking pass
50+ cars - $10 plus infield parking pass

I need to get a list going..
Go here for more info...

I am planning on leaving Jacksonville thursday morning at around 7am to meet up with the caravan in Atlanta at around noon. I don't think there will be any other 8's coming from Jax. Currently attempting to set something up to meet the Gainsville crew off of I75 at around 8am.

Still on the fence with this. Neil from Jax is also going and we might just head up 95 and then to 26, bypassing ATL. Kind of just want to get there. As much fun as it would be to hook up with a bunch of RX7s, that also means it will take that much longer to get there. Don't know.

I hear ya David. I've never been before so the experience of cruising with a ton of RX7s on the highway is going to be great...but after 5 - 8 hours of driving, I'll be ready for a drink and some good food.

Well folks. For the first time in 6 years I will be coming w/out the car. Had a major set back requiring a fresh build and am not gonna rush to get the car together. Time and money are tight after a divorce so I am gonna take my time on the build this summer. Will see you all there in the sporty ford fusion! AHAHAHAHA! Might stick the direzzas on the fusion for some extra grip!! G
