Yea the weather here is to dodgy here in the spring/summer, due to random T/hail storms.

Hi Drew - are you capping the number of people who can attend this event?
Julie does not want to go, but is happy that I have a weekend pass if I can make this work.
Please can you PM me with arrangements and schedule if you have progressed to this point.
Thanks
Pete

No real cap, but we have some room here for maybe 5 or 6 people ,and the rest can find a hotel near here.
I will PM you when we get the plans sorted,and we will make a route ,time frame is 2 weeks,but people could easily ride to the west coast by the first week and fly back ,or drive back with us.
Plenty of options ,and the only real sticking point is our cohort in crime, Ed air fuel eddie , he is in the process of building a white challenger for the trip,I need to do a motivation call, I gave him till march to get it running.
We also have some local cars that will join in too,and I know one mate that can possibly provide accommodations also

Ok we are trying to get a head count of who is coming, even if you think you might want to attend,put your name here so we at least have some sort of number, we are planning on spending 2 weeks,
however if you only want to do a week we can make arrangements to accommodate that, after a week we will be in many areas where a quick flight to a major hub and then you can be on a flight home from either Vegas or LA or San fran.

I am booked up. No going back now!
Flying out from Newcastle on the 24th Sept.
My flights and insurance came to £700 total. That's three flights there via Amsterdam and Minnesota. Two flights on my return via Paris.
I can't wait now.
