9krpmrx8 and Grungepup, if you guy's drive be sure to be in Phoenix on Thursday. That way you can drive up with the AZ crew Friday morning.
Don't worry about a place to stay here in Phoenix either. We have that covered.

At the very back of the pack. Don't feel bad if we pretend we don't know you. It's nothing personal, but...you know...

If you are a Rotary owner and your Rotary is down there is another way to take part. Hang signs in the windows declaring your drive as a "wannabe" Rotary and declaring pistons as item to be avoided. You must be a known Rotary owner and be ready for the ridicule that will fall onto your ride (and you).

Pretty damn good.
If you think you are gonna drive down a really rocky section of road on a scenic drive or something (hint, hint), just double up for confidence.

That's true, doubling up is good. But I thinking renting and Elise for the run would be more fun

For those of you making the long trip with other cars, I highly recommend a set of two way radios (aka walkie talkies)

Hell yeah, I'm on the Marquee!!!!! We are looking at several cars to rent but we are still getting everything aligned as of right now.

grungepup and I will probably be co-driving so we have to get something we both will enjoy.

Hmmmmmmm,, Shelby Cobra, Lotus Exige, Audi S4, or Cayman S? We thought it would be funny to rent an H1 but then we figured it would be kind of hard (and dangerous) to keep up.

personally I'd vote for the Lotus.
Either way, have fun at the back of the pack.

Should I assume you wish your names put on the list? If you notice I already made space for Texas......

non-rotaries = back of the pack.
Kwescott and Sn8wflk joined us last year (both of them had RX-8's before getting married) but now drive a Mazda 3. They followed the caravan on the Saturday drive.
