I plan on driving straight east untill i can find a good place to meet the guys coming up. Ive only lived in florida 2 years now and dont know a good spot to meet up on that side of florida.. so let me know where a good place for all of us to meet up and im down to drive the extra miles.

Thanks for the mention, but I'm not in the panhandle anymore. I've moved to Atlanta now. And with my new job, unfortunately, I dont think i will have the vacation days (to say that with a new job, i dont have any at the moment..x.x) to make it up for this years 86 expo

What do you mean off-route? What route are you taking that doesn't involve I-95? Aren't you heading straight up I-95?

It looks like we could take the boring route up I-95 or the route through Atlanta and up through the mountains on I-85.

Yep at least to get out of Florida it's a straight short north on I 95. But he is west quite a bit so I wouldn't take I-10 west to then head to VA. But I am game for any fun route after I get out of FL.

This would be a good addition to the route, "dragons tail"

Im honestly down for whatever i have 2 weeks of leave that im taking and this is in the middle.. I love to drive.. no matter how long the distance. Ive actually never done any "famous" routes like the dragon tail.

In for this as well if we can hit it.

[derekk]

Maybe we can all meet up there and complete it then caravan over to the event?

[becauseracecar1]

So here is how it would look if we did a straight drive up to va


And if we did a stop a the "tail of the dragon" and than drove to VA.




So I don't know how practical it would be as we would be adding another day into the trip. But it maybe be worth it. What do you guys think?

haha its by no means practical.. 14 hour trip into a 20 hour trip haha. 20 hour trip + tail of the dragon..

Edit: Come to really think about it.. i think im just going to go straight up there, or straight east and meet the South FL guys coming up.

[becauseracecar1]

So 14 hours straight up or stopping half way through?

Well driving straight through would mean starting at afternoon and driving through the night. Which i doubt most people could even do. So if we do caravan i think itll be wise and most people would agree to stopping halfway there.. I can make the drive in one shot myself.. but i lovvvveeee long distance driving lol.
