Sure, Caravan or not, I will be heading straight down without detour next time.

Yeah... I'm a bit irritated about the detour. TNDOT's site implies major backups but they were no worse than the usual route down, really.

Did you take the detour on the way home? I lost about 30 minutes sitting in the first one (mile 125?) on Sunday, but I didn't leave k'ville until almost 3pm.

No, we went I75 north. Lost 20-30 minutes in the first one, and maybe 10 for the second one. Very minor. Southband wasn't really backed up at all when we went through.

heading north on I75, me and a michigan S2k'er (darren) lost no time. in fact, we hit some triple digit cruising speeds.


as for dragonball run 05 I75 caravan. i think you can count me and my girlfriend in. i definitely think we'd go again. i was considering fall colors tour, but that might be a bit expensive for me. plus i've never tracked my car, much less pushed it very hard until WTD3 this year, so yeah.
