:helpsmilie: So I don't really know any of you guys aside from on here and I've never been to anything like this before. Can someone kinda walk me through the logistics?? I arrive, pitch a tent and kick it for the weekend? How do things like meals go? Do we grill? Should I bring something for the group? Does anyone shower??

I'm sure there'll be plenty of :beerchug: and bonfires right?

It's pretty chill and usually we go eat or we grill stuff, just bring something to grill or we can make a store run too. There are tons of restaurants near Matt's and a few stores for food and beer runs. I not sure if there's a grill but I have one that I can bring since I'm about 20 minutes away. And yes people shower. You might want to bring a chair or something for bonfires though.

I have a NG grill, a shower, and should the weather not cooperate there should be enough room indoors to makeshift sleeping arrangements but plan on bringing a tent.
At this point I have enough stuff to burn that I could have a bonfire every night for a week, and still not get through it all.

Now that the track schedule is out, it looks like there is a T&T going on Sunday, but it's between an event, so if we went we wouldn't get as many runs in. We might be able to get 1-2 in before the events start if we show up at 9:00am, and maybe 1 or two more in over the next few hours.

However, there is a T&T on Friday evening, starting at 5:00pm. Thoughts?

As I said on the book of faces my vote is for Friday. I need to be heading back home earlyish on Sunday and probably wouldn't go to the track if you guys go that day. A track day sounds very appealing though, not something I've ever done. Fingers crossed I don't break anything, I'll be a LONG way from home haha.

Yeah, doesn't really matter to me, either. I'll just be there to watch, and probably take pics and video.

We all at one point only knew each other from here, many of us are good friends now even getting together a couple times a year outside of these organized meets, at least four or five members here even came to my wedding, even though they were out of state and up to 14 hours away! All said and done this is a great group of people and you will remember it for years :)

So would it be bad if I took the louder, faster, more fun truck rather than the Bonneville?

I guarantee my brother will not be driving the Prizolla up this year, maybe we can get the '93 worthy enough though.

Things are once again up in the air, Heather is now looking at just heading down to North Carolina by herself with Mia and I will have the boys, if this happens then I would be at the meet for the whole time and have the Mutt :)
