May be a good idea to bring walkies if you have em. Even cheap ones can cover a group of a dozen cars in the event someone needs clearance to pass or a car/s get separated from the group.

Another member had suggested this. Feel free to being them if you have them. I would suggest that everyone print maps of the route ahead of time.

Tried that before. Didnt work as well as multiple people monitoring and communicating on the same channel with walkies. By the time the phone call connected the message was usually irrelevant when driving in a pack on twisties. Im sure you'll be fine with a cell though

YES!! Welcome back Sir!
I almost called you tonight, but got caught up with a few things at work and forgot. I want to hear how VIR was besides the reviews in General chat. I have a few new things to show you as well

Here's a link to a thread in the AutoX/Roadrace section. Everything up to about post# 160 is before the event, and that post on is during/after:

Here's an IMPORTANT update. I just called Alexander Spring. They are graciously waving the admission fees as previously agreed for us based on the fact that it will be a short pit stop, but the park manager advised me that they are expecting a big turn out due to the recent rains and cannot reserve spaces. They have 125 parking spaces available and she thinks we should be ok. She did indicate that parking could be full by the time we arrive. So be prepared to keep rolling. Also, we are by passing the Boat Show marina stop in Deland and returning straight to 46 ENT District as planned on the route. All cars participating please be fueled prior to leaving. Because of the unexpected number of cars joining in, there will be no provisions for fuel stops along the way. Look forward to seeing you all for a great drive and a relaxing fun time.
