Default Co. Springs Convoy to Mac

For those that are going to the Dyno Day at Mac Autosport I figure to set-up a convoy up there. Let meet at the Shell Gas Station on N. Academy and I-25. Let say be there by 09:00 and be on the road no later than 09:15. Firgure to take 83 all the way up. Very senic and fun drive. Plus you miss all the Hwy traffic of I-25 and tolls from E-470.
Let me know if you want to curse up together.

Might have to meet up about 8:45 to leave by 9am since Walt is dynoing at 10am. Just want to make sure we get there on time for him. Any problems with that guys? I'm gonna check on the gas station that is right there. Starting to think its a Diamond Shamrock.

There's both, Shell on Academy and Briargate before getting on I-25, and the Diamond Shamrock on Academy and the on-ramp for I-25. Shell has better gas, and I'll probably fill up there before we leave anyway, so if that's cool with everyone we should meet there. I don't mind driving from there to the Diamond Shamrock though if that works better for everyone else.

My wife and I plan on staying the whole day, and might have a friend follow us up in his 240, I told him there would be some boosted 240's there and he wants to check them out.

Thats cool. My buddy & his son are coming up in his Evo. My wife is staying home though. I really wished she had the same interests as me.

If I show up tomorrow, I will probably have to leave earlier than anticipated. Becckie is 60% effaced and will most likely go into labor tomorrow or Sun. I'm sorry if I can't make it Robert, I know you put a lot into this and scheduled for me to be there, but we didn't think she'd be having such an early labor. I'm going to come if nothing's changed, it could still be a week away, but if I do I'll probably come straight home afterwords just in case.

Will, I totaly understand. Still be cool if you could at least get your pull. Maybe PM John with the 10am pull to see if you could get in a bit sooner to get you home sooner. BTW: You still coming by tonight for the brake work?
