Ya'll coming through AL....a few of us are going to IA from the Montgomery,AL area.

Let us know.

 

nah were not going thru AL. ...We are starting at the Bottom of GA and taking 75 all the way up

 

Yeah, I looked at a map and that would be way off. Well, See ya'll there

 

ill meet up... atl is my home town anyway. let me know when you decide on a meet up spot in the a. we'll be there...

 

I will meet up with you guys in Atlanta, I live out near Six Flags right off of I-20.

 

alright we can start figuring out a place to meet in atl then...i'm guess the north side would be best

 

Yeah that way we all meet up after we pass through all the ATL traffic. It would suck to get stuck in that trying to get up to IA.

Hey dude Toyomatt is working it to get a group rate at a hotel out there go check out the post you can reserve a room there https://honda-tech.com/zero...ge=19

Im guessing you guys will be coming through the Chattanooga, TN area. Do you plan on making any stops here? I know of quite a few people that will be leaving out of Chattanooga

 

I don't see any problem with that seeing as how we will be passing directly through Chattanooga. What do you think Thundercat?

 

If anybody is going from Alabama, I might tag along. I would like to go check this out. Never been to an IA event before.

 

Yeah I am headed out of Atlanta.

 

well i'm not sure how the guys in ATL feel but i was thinking that we could meet at the varsity in downtown....if somewhere else is better ATL ppl lmk...and i dont' see any problem with stopping in Chattanooga..it is on the way...figure out a spot were we can meet up with the ppl up there...and then non stop to nashville...lmk if this works for everyone

Once you get into chattanooga and you are on I-24 actually going toward Nashville you could hop off one of the Lookout Valley exits and we could all meet up in the Walmart parking lot and go non stop from there cause from that point you only have about 1 1/2 hrs till Nashville. Ill figure out exactly what the exit number is and such when I get the chance. I figure that would be a good place to meet since its a really big parking lot.

Any idea on times of when you guys will be heading out of ATL and arriving in Chattavegas?

 

Yeah The Varsity works its got a big parking lot and great food for you guys coming from down south to grab something to eat. We just gotta make sure to not get caught in rush hour.

 

expletive rush hour...what time does the traffic start sucking up there???...i was hoping to make decent time...its a 7 and half hour drive for us down here ...i figure we should be in nashville by 5 if we leave at 8 plus food, gas,misc BS stops
..not sure if anyone knew but Hot Import Night is being held on the 26 as well ....it starts at 5..IA is over at 4..i gonna go since i enjoyed myself last year at Orlando..killing two birds with one stone

uhhhhh....LOL it starts sucking at about the time we should be arriving in Nashville LOL we will be hitting town at rush hour on a Friday.

 

Yeah if you guys leave at 8 it would put you in Atlanta at a good time we might hit some traffic in Nashville though but whatever it won't be too bad going into the city the other lane going out of the city is the one that will be bad at that time.

 

ok so 8 is good...well all i gotta do is get my hatch up to spec now..

 

so please fix the first post...wheres all the stops at...and wheres every one meetin up at to begin with...etc etc lmk im up for it

 

Well, what up foo! Car should be ready man, but at least think about us boosted folks man. I hate straight driving and no cooling off man. Especially since im coming from FL bro. But keep me posted on the main site bro.

Edited the map for you with the address to the walmart here in Chattanooga

http://maps.google.com/maps?f=...&om=0

 

We need to get a list of names who will be in the caravan

I myself live less than a mile off I-75 south of ATL so I will be riding along in the Keg I think my brother SneezinCD5 and 1_fly_si will also be attending.

BTW &gt; I think the Varsity would be the best place to meet since it's a widely known spot. Also, right off 75 so we can get back on route when ready to go.....

Looking forward to this meet

 

I'll be there
