Alright folks, here's the layout for the Journey, if you would like to participate/join in, please let me know by posting here. I'll keep a tab of how many people are showing at each checkpoint, so as not to lose anyone.

<FONT COLOR="green">&lt;(</FONT> Here's a fantastic video, edited by one of the guys on the caravan last year: <FONT COLOR="blue">Link</FONT> <FONT COLOR="green">)&gt;</FONT>

IA '08 will take place on July 26th and 27th, so we will set course the Friday before, aka. <u>July 25th</u>. As in IA '07, we'll head to the location, so everyone knows where we are headed, then we'll part ways to our respective hotels/meeting points. The Nashville Super Speedway is roughly 15 miles South East of downtown Nashville, near Smyrna. So, mark your calenders, tattoo your wrist, and do whatever it takes to make sure you're set to go this time around.

[<FONT COLOR="red">NOTE</FONT>: Make sure to look at the times closely. <u>There is a time zone change mid-way through the journey.</u>] (CST = -5 GMT during the Summer)

Journey Section 3 Directions (automatically set to print):

Final Arrive Time at Nashville Super Speedway: 8:00 PM (CST)


PLEASE NOTE: From the experience gained from IA '07, I believe it is safe to assume that these times are fairly accurate. I know that not everyone will be able to pit stop at the same mileage, so feel free to drop off when necessary. I set it with 3 checkpoints for a reason. It gives a chance for those with more thirsty engines, a chance to catch breath and keep up. Feel free to throw in ideas that are worth noting, at me. I'm up for suggestion.

The Marketplace here on H-T will probably yield a buyer pretty quickly.
