Default This looks like its going to be a successful 350Z-meet.


Also, it could be the start of an Annual my350Z.com Skyline Drive Cruise.

Richmond guys we never got a count on who will be meeting up of the atlee/Elmont exit to follow to EVO. Remember need to be at EVO BY 10AM SHARP!

Also Anybody from the richmond area got a idea on a better way home? I dont see the point on driving south and heading back north then back to richmond again. I was thinking we could pick up 522 someplace

That said, I think it would be a great idea to reserve as many "spots" in the caravan for the Z/G folks, since this is primarily a "group" drive. But again, it's an open drive, so it's not like anyone can say no, you know what I mean? If we had 4 guys signed up, I'd say go for it, but this is turning into a monster and we want to make sure our "group" has a good time.

Am I off base anyone?

You’re on target but…

What kind of show rate do you have for an outing like this. 50 percent? 75 percent? It always seems that there are no shows and cancellations at the last minute. Depending on the number of cars that show, you might consider 2 groups for safety reasons. The second group departs for Skyline Drive say 10 minutes after the first.

Usually somewhere between 1/3 and 1/4 will no show, which right now puts us around 15 cars. We can probably keep that many together, but I would agree that if we have a full turnout, or many more peole sign up, we should break it up and choose some stopping places along the way for group photos. 20 or more cars would be tough to keep together (easier once we're on Skyline, but tough getting there). Maybe we can split up getting out there, and once we hit the park, we can link back up?
