ViperNC Posted April 15, 2015 Report Share Posted April 15, 2015 Here's the good news moving back one week. Everyone can make the rain date change, plus we pick up one more joy rider with Craig (Viper). :happy feet: Who's Craig? I'll be pulling into port Friday AM and driving back to NC. Will check the thread when I return to figure out what the weather is doing and the best place to pick you guys up... probably on the TN side of the Dragon Sunday AM. Might meet you guys Saturday. We'll see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2007_Shelby_GT Posted April 16, 2015 Report Share Posted April 16, 2015 Hotel changes made - most of my foul weather gear removed! The flight attendant says: "Remember, in the event of a water landing, your seat cushion can be used as a flotation device!" And you're thinking: "I don't think it's called a landing!" and "Oh great, my life will be saved by a beer-fart filled cushion!" Sam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rumors Posted April 16, 2015 Report Share Posted April 16, 2015 Rooms have been changed to the 25th through 27th. Lets hope Mother Nature is kind to us. I now have time to ruin my tires before the new sticky ones are installed. Was supposed to be Friday and will now change it to next week so I have time to make some rubber smoke.

GT500-2007 Posted April 17, 2015 Report Share Posted April 17, 2015 So with the revised date for those coming from the South are there still any thoughts on meeting up somewhere in Southern Ga and driving up to Knoxville together on Saturday?

gt67 Posted April 17, 2015 Report Share Posted April 17, 2015 I was talking to Jim the other day about where to meet. You have the longest drive up, so what would work for you? We are a little more flexible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2007_Shelby_GT Posted April 17, 2015 Report Share Posted April 17, 2015 A couple of different routes to Knoxville, I'm open to either. Interstate 95 is easy for me, but Interstate 75 works just as well. We could meet at I-75/I-10 interchange in Lake City, FL, or further up the road in Valdosta, GA Or at the A1A/SR200 exit on I-95. Guess it depends on how you feel about going through or avoiding Atlanta! Sam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gt67 Posted April 17, 2015 Report Share Posted April 17, 2015 Sam, I drive up the lower corner of Georgia and come into 75 at Exit 11. So that would work out better for me. Jim is starting to look like a pro now going though Atlanta, he hasn't taken that Cleveland exit the last couple of times. It has rain here for the last 10 days. I'm really sick and tired of all this rain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GT500-2007 Posted April 17, 2015 Report Share Posted April 17, 2015 You guys seem to know the area and the routes better than me. I plan on coming up I-75 from Florida so just give me a place and time and I can plan from there. GT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

07gt500conv Posted April 19, 2015 Report Share Posted April 19, 2015 Spoke to George earlier today. Don / Sam, the plan is to meet at Exit 11 on I-75 at 9 AM. Same place as last year Don. Good Gas stop, fill up there and should get us thru Atlanta and possible to Tn. I will meet up with George either in Orlando or Ocala, depending on when where he decides to stop the night before. He will let me know on Wednesday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
