Just an update, you will not need a full 8 days if your plan is to go to SS and then back home. The 8 days is planned by RIWWP's route to go through some scenic routes after SS before making the trek home.
Depending on how many people decide to go we could have most just opting to go to SS and then back home the next day (whenever they recuperate from the after party

) which would result in likely needing only 6-7 days to get this done. Keep in mind out of those 6-7 days, only 3-4 of them are actual work days since this will run through the weekend of the 18th. You're not taking 6-7 or 8 actual work days off if you can't spare that much.
This will also result in (unless I'm way off)
the biggest Rx-8 meet of all time in regards having people from this forum clash together for a good time getting to know one another from the East to West coast.
