Yes, it would be fun to drive down together, but my route takes me down I-95...going through Atlanta would add 150 miles to the trip.

The first one is to basically let his club know what you would like to do over the weekend and the costs involved.
The second link is to get you inside the Daytona Speedway, a separte registration system.

All going to Daytona and preferring to drive in a convoy, will meet at the rest-stop on I 75 southbound, just before you reach the Macon By-Pass (I 475) at 8 AM Friday morning.
If you have any questions, send me a PM.

LOL! HAHAHAHA... you gave me the same math at the meeting. Kept looking for threads about the show and was not seeing anything recent. Had a buddy traveling to Daytona last weekend for a show, so i thought nothing of it. Then Dean said this weekend, I was like HUH?!?!? I thought you were there last weekend. The kicker...Last weekend we were 10 minutes from your house buying a couch with a truck and trailer that would have held the doors perfect! UGH! Such is my luck... I just should have called! LOL!
I hope you guys have a safe journey!

I'll post more later, but for now, just this info:
We started down to Daytona as a nice group; two of Dean's customers, Dean with his truck trailoring an awesome chop-top, Don H. in his grean beast, Anne in her Phoenix and myself in my 85 GT.
Right before the FL border, Anne's fuelpump gave out, so we had it towed to Jennings, FL where it sat until we came back up from FL on Sunday and Dean put it on his trailor and took it to his shop in Woodstock.
Saturday on the track, I was about to set up our banner and parts (Digital EGR adapters) and it started raining and thundering and everyone started heading for the exit tunnel!
All a bit chaotic, as we had to combine the contents of 2 Fiero trunks into 1, and mine never made it to the Pontiac Fiero coral on the track, as we had only registered Anne's Phoenix.
So what was the success you may ask? Well, we made it down there and back up in my 85 GT without issues and man did my little 85 haul! In a way I'm glad I didn't sell it while we were down there, as that would have created more logistical headaches, trying to get back home.
When we had Anne's car towed into Florida, the group went ahead while we waited for the tow-truck. Then we caught up with them while doing 90 - 100 mph on a few isolated patches of I 75 and I 10 and actually passed them while the were getting gas! ;D
On another note, Anne and I both seemed to have gotten a slight tan from walking around down there, and man did we do some walking. The Daytona Speedway is quite big when you have to walk from one side of the Grand Stand and track to the other!
