Final plans - Trip to Nationals!!!

What is needed here is a Nationals Planning Blog where participants can pile on info.

'Rita machine- When Boudy comes to pick me up and sees the quantity of my stuff, that thing may get left behind. Shoot, we need an ice machine or a big fridge.

Jerry- Most are gonna be there Sun or Mon. There will be PLENTY of time to tag team both of those cars. We'll get 'em on track!

Also need a list going of unused crew member slots that can be used by others. Mine are all taken.

My cell- 469.831.8693
Bev cell- 469.831.8689

Just random thoughts,
Rock the Nation!

my crew slots are also taken.
you will have to provide this info when you check into the track. lots of non-racers comming, lets get them on someones list.

As a contingency sponsor, I have a couple employee spots available. But I have to know soon to send em' in.

Jeff: You worry too much. (yeah, I know, "I don't worry enough...) We may look like the Beverly Hillbillies on the move, but we'll get it all to Ohio one way or another.

Boudy

How many crew member spots per person?

I've printed out local NAPA's, Autozone's, Carquest's, Target's and Wal-Mart's. Nice selection within 10 miles. Not much in the way of salvage yards that I could find.

Todd: Are you bringing your projector? With my computer and PA system, we could watch movies on the side of a trailer.

Boudy

3 crew slots per person if i remember correctly.

Do y'all need extra easy-ups, power converters for trucks, coolers, anything else? If Martin and I have it y'all are welcome to it. Whoever's coming through CS could pick it up.

Good luck everyone! We're cheering y'all on!


Misty

thanks Misty, but Todd is the only one not comming from the DFW area. he's comming up out of Houston.

o.k. guys, we need to pick a departure time.
saturday @ when and @ where.
i'm in Ft Worth - west side.
Adam is Plaino
Boudy / Jeff is Bedford / Grapevine
Nick is Mansfield
i think that is it except for John George and Dave Irwin. no feedback from John on his departure date and Dave Irwin is leaving out of Tyler.
the route i suggest is I-30 to Little Rock, Memphis, Nashville bla, bla, bla..

isnt there a large gas station just before Royce City? like hwy 34 & I-30? anyone know the area? i used to work that side of town, but its been awhile.

o.k. guys - speak up. who did i leave out?

Unfortunately, I don't think I can borrow the projector from work for 10 days without someone else needing it. :( But I'll see if I can score an old one or something else.

Thanks for the offer, Misty...we'll let you know if we need anything!

Glenn and all...things are progressing nicely for my prep.
New clutch, cable, quadrant, shifter, etc all in nicely and gears feeling great again.
Car dropped off at the painters today for interior paint.
I did my walkthru orientation of the motorhome this afternoon and will pick it up on Friday.

ASSuming I can load everything Friday nite, I may be able to leave Houston first thing (~8-9AM) on Saturday. (Banking on a late nite of loading.) That will put me in the Dallas area ~2PM, no?

Let's not be in too much of a hurry to get there, I heard there is an SCCA event there this weekend and no-one will be allowed into the track until Sunday evening. I'm OK with a late Monday morning arrival if you guys are.

Thanks again for coordinating this, Glenn. I'll give you a call tomorrow to discuss more.

PS- I read on the NASAforums that bringing plywood is a great idea for the grass pits. May need to add a few sheets to my prep list.

Can one of you Dallas guys get a couple large AICMC Texas decals? I'll put them on the side of the motorhome as part of the caravan!
