That would make sense if we were even more organized... If we have attendees following leaders and those leaders are communicating with each other, that'd work out - I figure there should be one main flagship car running the flock and 2-3 leaders running the packs so we're all in sync. Problem is, I'm not sure those who are meeting us at stops will follow this. Some people may want to be more sporadic and burst up the roads, or "stunt their whip" around... Too many variables, but if the majority can agree to follow a system of follow the leaders, then we should be ok with 2-ways... I'll see is @Jayde and @YourFearlessLeader are up for it, I figure we'd be the three to lead, so gota make sure we have full tanks!!

EDIT: Probably should have some sort of Flag sticking out of our windows or something to distinguish who's a leader...

2-way radio is a good idea for the leaders. I would set a leader at each meet up point and also set some ground rules, like what speed limit is everyone comfortable with. I have done this in the past where some people like to speed and some people like to stay around the posted speed limits.

I think we are all adults and can assume the ground rules.

If you speed, you're on your own.
If you dont have an EZ Pass, catch up to the train if you fall behind.

IMO, I think its unnecessary for anyone to play babysitter, etc. If people want to speed and go ahead, let them. I will be cruising at 65mph. I am not fucking around with state troopers.

2-way radio.... I see where it could be handy, but this is such a simple drive. It is going to be nearly impossible for me to lead 15-20 cars with or without a radio. If they want to follow, they will follow.

I'd be down to help out. I have a V1 so I don't mind being out in front as long as people aren't going way over the speed limit.

Thanks, but I don't we need to get this in depth with coordination. It's a first meet - best to feel it out and see what we can improve on for the next one, if any!

Not gonna lie, but I wasn't expecting this many people interested in going, and we still have 2 months to go! That takes me to the dinner, which again, I'm shocked at how many people want to go! At this rate, we'll have to rent out a place to hold this many people!!
