Meet at 630am, gassed and ready to go at the Chick-fil-a in Providence shopping center (Mount Juliet just off I-40), we'll grab food and then leave at 7 SHARP. If you guys have a more suitable meeting place, let me know. I'm flexible. Should arrive in Marysville around 11 Eastern time and 11-1130 Start the first leg of the drive!
If you DO NOT have my number, PM me and I'll get it to you so you can let me know if you're running a few minutes late to the rendezvous point.
Routes will be determined as we nail down other details associated with the trip, i.e. lodging, etc.

Treat this trip like a track day.
Check fluids
Check brakes
Make sure your battery is decent!!
Check tires
Check belts
Ensure all components in engine bay are secure e.g. battery tray, fluid reservoirs etc.
Remove unnecessary junk from driving area, stuff will fly around!
Do your best to ensure your car is ready, you don't want to be the one that holds up the group.
If you show up with bald tires and have a flat during the trip we may just leave you behind.
If your car isn't ready don't come.
Don't get hammered the night before, these roads are dangerous at normal driving speeds. You will need to be on your toes for this event.
Be smart and don't drive beyond your limits.
Don't cross the double yellow. Seriously!!
Look through the corners, your car will follow your eyes.
If the lead car goes down a dirt road don't follow!

We can do overnight or come back after some driving. I'm good with either.
Post up on your Attending/Not Attending Status and I'll update accordingly.
I realize this is short notice, but since Matt and I are firm on going, I was wondering if anyone else is interested.

I'm flying to Atlanta (or driving) for an event Friday night, so there may be a chance I would have to arrive later Sat morning in case I'm running on 4 hours of sleep. I'm planning on watching the Nascar Cup finale at Homestead Sunday, so I may head back early if need be to make a party that afternoon.
Hopefully a few others can join us for the trip, it should be a lot of fun and the Dragon usually isn't crowded this time of year.
