Default Saturday DRIVE TO NAVARROS after the roll out

I guess I'll post this up- After the roll out on Saturday,Curt and I are driving over to Navarros Smokehouse in Englewood. Driving back to Fontana is up to you- but I'd head back via Tellico Plains and the Cherohala- as two of us are taking a Glider tour after Navarros.
Leaving promptly after the photo - need to be gone by 11:00 am AT THE VERY LATEST- may leave at 10:45 depending. I'll announce on the radio the "DRIVE TO NAVARROS LED BY THE SUZUKA BLUE CANADIAN", but we'll muster down the road at the parking lot. Don't ride the ass of the person in front- give yourselves some space.

Suzuka Blue with black rims will lead.

If you've never flown in a glider you should, it's a blast. One of my uncles used to teach glider flying and took me up a few times.

Dave, we originally requested 1:30 but they sent back 2 pm. It will give us lots of time to get from lunch to the flight centre about 20minutes away. Tell them you're coming with Darcy's group.
