I believe RandallNeighbour is going to generate the master plan in terms of when and where we're going to meet up. Right now it looks like it is scheduled for the weekend of May 5-6. I will be rolling down with either my GF or a friend and will be staying at whatever hotel is set up by the group.

Looks like I'll be joining you all. I am concerned about traffic once we get there and such. It sounds like a haven for sports cars on the east coast.

Cool! We could consider leaving Thursday and come back Sunday in hopes that we could get an awesome day of driving the TOD on Friday before the weekend starts and still drive the TOD on Saturday with the rest of the crowd that would be coming in just for the weekend (or the locals)?

From what my experienced buddy tells me, it's busy 7 days a week, and weekends are the heaviest... however, bikers and sports car nuts that are out of town like to drink a lot after dark and thus need to sleep in.

So, I will be planning a very early meeting on Saturday and Sunday morning so we can have a couple of runs at speed. Then, when it starts to get thick, we can stop for brunch. After all, we're a civilized bunch of Pcar owners!

As far as lodging is concerned, I need to let you know that hotel and motel rooms around the TOD are really booked this particular weekend. I would like to recommend that anyone going should go to this web page and start hunting for lodging arrangments as soon as you read this...

I called a couple of places and they are too booked already to reserve a block of rooms. So, it's every man for himself I guess. Dang, we should have planned this early last year for this May. I just didn't know what my work-travel schedule would be until a few weeks ago.

I will post the meeting place soon. My buddy knows of good parking lots or places where we can gather. It will be at the crack of dawn if that's ok with you all.

Would it be any lighter for longer on a Friday? I'll be burning a couple days vacation so whether I take a Friday/Monday or Thursday/Friday off it makes no difference to me.
