Northeast Caravaners?

[Armitage]

I'm coming from NJ, probably leaving between 100AM-200AM Thursday morning, I'd like to beat the rush. I'm going I78 -> I81 -> I77 -> I85 I believe. Anyone in the NE following that same route or maybe anyone along the way?

[DracoZX]

It is a lilttle closer for us virginians to go I85 but we are getting a caravan together going and I95 to I20.It is a better road to meet everyone on this side of the coast. I know of at least 6 of us so far.

I'm leaving harrisburg,pa around 1am or 2am thursday morning. I would be interested to meet up with someone if they like??

[Armitage]

Luke if I'm able to leave Wednesday night I could meet up with you in Harrisburg around then, I'm about three hours from there. 200AM would be doable.

[luke300zx]

yeah that would be great. I was gonna see if you wanted to do something like that because im trying to beat richmond work traffic i figure we would hit that area around 5 am an we would slide through no problem so let me know im about 30 min south of harrisburg on 81s its called newville but i could meet you somewhere if you would like.

[Armitage]

Ok that's cool. I'm supposed to meet up with someone in NC too on 85 outside of Charlotte but that won't be until later.

[DracoZX]

We are leaving richmond at 8a.m. thursday morning. Picking up a couple more in Emporia at 9 and then other in NC around 2. See if your person in Charlotte would meet up with us going through Columbia SC on I 20. We are taking I95 a slightly longer route so we can pickup more people plus we dont have to deal with Charlotte traffic and its 70mph all the way.

[Armitage]

Well it all depends because I don't have my car back yet. If its not ready until the morning, I won't be leaving until like 1000AM tomorrow and then its all moot point. *sigh*

[DracoZX]

If you are worried about richmond traffic just hit 295S right before richmond and it will take you around the city and drop you off just south of petersburg. We are leaving from the Exxon station at the route 5 Market rd. exit off of 295S at 8a.m.

hey i live in reading pa, which is far from both highways, 83, and 95s, im not sure if im going, but if i do, anyone wanna clue me in on which way there goin so i can roll down with some people.

[jschrauwen]

There's a few of us taking I75 at Cincinnatti southbound. Meeting with a bunch of other Thursday morning at our hotel just south of the OH/KY border.

[bradturpin13]

John sent you a PM about your lodging for the night in KY.
I know we are leaving out sometime Thursday was gonna try to hook up along the way>? if thats okay.

[jschrauwen]

^ No problem Brad.
I don't remember the exact name of the hotel but it's right on I75 about 30 to 40 miles south of the OH/KY border. It was a Holiday Inn Express Hotel. Chris Meyers (Sunset123) should be meeting up with us as well.

What time are you guys pulling out of that hotel? because im leaving pa around 12am thursday. I got there last year around 4 in the afternoon. Didnt know when you guys were planning on arriving?

[jschrauwen]

^^^ Then you should be swinging by the hotel roughly around the same time we'll be leaving in the morning. We usually arrive around 4pm at Z1 as well.
On the Mon or Tue before the Nationals, we should post our cell numbers so that we can coordinate meet-up times.

A few of us are leaving from Fayetteville, NC Friday...I think.

[jschrauwen]

^^^ You're going to miss the Track Day at mini Talledega. It's a great event even just to spectate as you're located in the center of the track.

[350Z-guy]

Yea, not many people wanted to attend the track day.

[Dustin@Z1]

There are a few 370z and G37 guys coming down from you area too.
I believe they are leaving out Wednesday or Thursday.
