Trevor is thinking about it, love those roads down there but not sure about the drive to get there, that will be a lot of hours in my noisy little 8.. do we have some older guys turn up?
I'm in Durham ON, so about 3 hrs from Ft Erie.. Maybe just wait to do some track days.

Age range is thirty somethings to sixty, myself being 60 followed by John in his fifties.
Myself & John are leaving Wednesday morning and stopping in Beaver, WV.
It's about a 14+ hour drive each way.

P.S.

So the 1st part is done, I am registered...
Are you all staying at the resort, is that the main base? Have not called them yet to see if any rooms left...
Would be happy to tag along on the way down, but will need to stretch legs every couple of hours..
Where are we staying in Beaver?
Not long now..

Looking forward to the trip, just hoping we have a car to do it in by then.
RX7 (PinkRacer's car) will have it's first start on a new rebuild this weekend if we can solve an electrical glitch.
RX8 (my car) is waiting for backordered tires to show up.
Otherwise, guess we're taking the truck. Comfier ride, but hopeless on the Dragon...

That's the spirit. I'll be just over 60 days into a new job when we leave, but, I told them during recruiting that I already kind of had this booked.
Hope they don't hold it against me.

Every time I check out this thread, I get the urge to go with you guys because I had a great time when last there. But I have so much work to complete on my new house that I really can't make it this year.
The need to finish my house and get properly moved in, should and does outweigh the need to have a weekend of fun.
So I hope all of you that are heading down have a safe and fun trip and I will see you all at our spring meet.
