You might want to consider 2 groups...maybe a regular group and the slower group. Put the rx8's of each group up front for the full effect[snip]

Just a thought on some of the postings on splitting the group up... For one - I think the show of numbers is part of the big thrill - isn't it?
I understand the situation we had at the covered bridges run - but that was unique - I think, in that we had to make a U turn after we crossed the bridge, and had to come back through the same bridge, and hence the clog!!!
Wouldn't having a car with a radio spaced out within the convoy help keep the bunch together - that way there won't be a need for the tail enders to ratchet up in order to catch up with the lead bunch. With good communication, I think the bunch can be kept tight.
I have two radios available - of course - one for me :-), but the other I can loan to another car. I think if one in every 5 cars has a radio, that would work!?!

Speaking of grip.... I'm gonna highjack my own thread here,
Since I drive so much and so agressively... I BURN through tires like crazy so I am looking for an inexpensive yet good gripping tire with good tread wear. Yeah I know I know, you want long treadwear you sacrifice grip. I was looking at the NEXEN N3000's and they seem like a very good buy. I looked on some other forums and heard some good things about them. Anyone have an opinion?

It is a much nicer tread - looks way more aggressive.
Do you know what the route change will be now that we're heading to LP to stay for the night? I'll try and modify/calculate the map sometime this week.

Almost forgot - I met a guy from Mass at the *gasp* car wash last week and mentioned it to him. He had a VR, and seemed interested. Told him how to find this thread, so maybe we'll have another VR.
