I cant make this dinner guys so please fill me in on the plans.

 

You got it Toby.

 

What is the official meeting time for dinner on Sat? I want to go, but I am not 100% sure I am in right now.

 

Should we say 7:30? That gives people most of their day before they have to head in to Tysons.

 

I'd like to know what time as well. I'm going to be in Cheseapeake Bay, so I need to leave at least 2 hours before we meet.

EDIT: 7:30 sound good with me.

 

ive got a drivers ed class so i should be out by then...but if not...then ill have to call our i dont know yet...also a friends birthday and i was invited to go to "Medival Times" for dinner....so i will give one of you guys a buzz and let u know...but as of right now i should still be on my way...

OK, I am unfortunately out of the dinner. Family issues that had to be addressed in NC this weekend. I apologize, let me know all the details that are discussed so that I will be ready to go for TOD on Friday. Again, enjoy dinner, and keep me up to date.

It's all good brotha. Hope everything is ok with the family. We'll catch you up on the plans, no worries.

 

Hey dont forget to think about a place I can meet you.

 

Ben or Kelly, please give me a call if plans change for tomorrow, I won't be near a computer for the rest of the day and tomorrow. My number again is 201-838-7124. Otherwise, I'll see you guys at Bertucci's. Thanks!

 

We're in the zero hour...Too late to make changes. If you don't make it, we'll make sure all the info finds it way back to this thread or onto the capital350zclub website (gotta provide some incentive for people to wander over there )

 

man talking about comming down to the wire. Just got my tracking # from vizage my sides and rear will not be here to monday sometime. so that gives me 3 days to get this painted and installed. I can do the install in a few hours but I can see myself working right up to thursday night.

Thank god I did my zanio last week so the car is clean allready

HEY STILL NO VOLKS. lol

 

So how many guys are leaving from Richmond on Friday and what time ????

 

Well, weather sucks, but see you guys at Bertucci's in Tysons...7:30.

 

So who's showing up beside you, me, and possibly Ben? I just left him a message so hopefully he'll get back to me. Yeah weather sucks.

 

Well....Jess and I made it...You bunch of slackers!!!

Anyway, here's the scoop:

We're gonna meet in MANASSAS at 4:00 and roll-out at exactly 4:15. I know it's early, but with an hour or so for stops along the way, the drive will be 10 hours at least. That should put us in Fontana at around 2:30. That gives us time to check in and get to wherever the Dr. Bonz detailing seminar is (or for those of you who plan on living on the dragon, it will give you time to mount cameras, etc, and get some driving in before dinner.)

We haven't picked a specific place in Manassas yet, but it will be some place close to an I-66 exit, just for convenience. I'll tool out there tomorrow and get an exact location.

We will go out 66 to 81 and south from there. I know we'll have at least one NAV system in the caravan, but I will bring copies of the mapquest map and directions for everyone's reference. I will also bring the cell-phone list as it stands now. We will need a minimum of 3 sets of 3-way radios for the trip, and possibly 4 once we join up with the Richmond guys (I have one set that I will bring). I am also bringing a pair of emergency contact sheets that everyone should sign. The sheets will be kept by two different drivers just to avoid a "single point of failure" if something goes wrong.

We've beat the "what should you bring" topic to death, but I know Jess and I are bringing a basic tool kit and some cleaning supplies. Other than clothes, everything else is probably 'at your discretion'.

As for Toby and anyone else coming from the Richmond area, I personally think it would be faster for you guys to go down 85 through Raleigh and Winston-Salem and pick up 40 from there. But, if you want to meet up with us, you can either go out 64 (which is generally Northwest and will make your drive longer than necessary), or you can go out VA-60 (which is clearly a more minor road, so it could end up being slower), I'll leave it to your knowledge of the area to pick which one is best.

If you opt to travel 64 west and meet us in Staunton, you would need to be in there NLT 6:30. Mapquest indicates that from Manassas to Staunton is about 2 hours, 15 minutes.

If you choose VA-60, you'd need to be at I-84 and VA-60 by about 7:15. Looking at the map, this looks like your least desirable choice, but let us know what you'd like to do and we'll plan accordingly.

Can anyone think of anything that we're forgetting? ....Oh, please show up in Manassas with a full tank of gas and be ready to roll. The 15-20 minutes will really throw off our timing if we're trying to meet the Richmond contingent.

 

bro get with me and lets figure out if we want to take 60 or 64. I know 60 will be a slower drive and more 5.0 so I would just say take 64 because I know that route.

 

after looking at a map I think taking rt60 to 81 would be much better. So anybody want to meet up that mornning get with me
