It's easier for most. Clean truck night before, instead of getting there and rushing to clean it. Me, I got no reason to be there early! LOL

I don't try that hard for the SNS. Normally I just run it thru the car wash. LOL

Meeting @ Cracker Barrel Restraunt off I-69 on Aug 12th, at 10:30am(EST),eat some grub(optional) leave out at 12pm(EST) The host hotel is roughly 5 hrs. from the Cracker Barrel.
Anyone wanting to, is more than welcome to meet up here.

That works. It's about the halfway point for us. 4.5 hours to get there. If we leave at 5am, 6am your time, puts us there right at 10:30am EST. :biggthumpup:

Then what, just shoot north on I-69? I believe that's the way we went last year. We made it from St.Louis to Rob's doorstep in just over 8 hours, in the BOX! :woot:

02-11-2008, 06:26 PM
Yeah. Takes ya a few miles farther north, but you bypass city driving that way.

Lets see if you guy can match the 1st Nats caravan size out of Indy. I think we had somewhere between 50-60 trucks in the caravan leaving Indy and up to Detroit. We had to split up into two groups and we still pissed a lot of people off when merging and stuff as we blocked lanes to let everybody get in and out.

BTLFED R/T
02-11-2008, 11:54 PM
That would be awesome, but it would be cool just to get that many to show up at the meet! Let's go people!!!

02-12-2008, 12:18 AM
Yeah, Indy was the central meeting point for all of the caravans coming from the west coast and southern US. The only groups that didn't meet up there were the north east guys and of course the ones closer to Detroit.

BTLFED R/T
02-12-2008, 12:57 AM
Yeah, I'm going to make a thread in the Nationals section to get something going. Hopefully, we can get at least 20! Even that's cool. :D

Me and Jesse averaged over 90mph on I64 from Evansville to St. Louis, couple of times we were at 110+. The on the way home I caravaned with Tommy Barnett, at times I was doing 110mph. Getting there is always half the fun.:drive:

Is this still in the works? Has it changed to the 11th for Viper Plant Tour on the 12th? Getting close...making plans which way to go...either go this route or meet up with the guys that live up by Chi Town and run up that way...no big difference in mileage only tolls.
Also which Hotel is everybody booked at and what dates? Haven't called yet...probably too late for a room...never know thou...if not wheres the closest camp grounds (with showers) to where we're going to meet?

This plan is still go. If it conficts with the Viper Plant Tour... I personally will opt to misss the tour. Adding another night on the hotel bill is not an option in lue of gas prices.
Are you going alone? Three of us have a double room @ the host hotel, and may be open to adding another to defer cost.

No problem. Just didn't know since things (NATS) changed after I asked my last question. I'll check when I get home.
I know what you're going thru...I also have lost a 50k job and am making less than half...still trying to scrounge up enough to go...might not eat the best there but at least have fun and check out all the guys rides and druel over all your guy's mods and FAST trucks. Plus I promised my son we'd go since the announcement of the NATS way back when.
And if there's room and if anybody can stand an old smelly guy like me....I would really appreciate sharing a room.It'll be me and my son he's 16...good time for him to learn how to party....:D
