The trip is about 950 miles (apx 850 taking backroads) from Houston. If someone wants to buddy up and split gas I'm down with that. We can determine a route later.

If I had an RX-7 I'd defiantly be down...soon enough I'll have another...

I've always wanted to take a road trip up there solo if not with a group.

I've driven over 1500 miles in two days in my FD, it isn't that bad

Guys, the Dragon is an absolute blast, if you decide to go you won't regret it

There are several people coming from Canada and some are arriving early.. I'm going to be there on early thursday afternoon (4/10/2008)... Otherwise, I'm not going to enjoy the event at all

Also, what I love about event like this is the caravan.. Those coming from Houston, I'll try to find places for you to stay if you want to come thru Bham, AL and leave with me on thursday morning..

With that stellar attitude, you mine as well stay home "mr gestapo". This is more than a tire kicking meet in a parking lot at the local strip mall. If you read the info about the event you'll see that fee covers 3 meals, a t-shirt and entry in the raffle.
