Itinenary for Buick Nationals BG

wdunfee · 04-14-2007, 08:03 AM

As this is my first trip, was wondering what the plans were for the caravan?? Day plans that is .. Am looking at the registation form from GSCA and I guess need pick out the days to send them money ahead of time..Night plans are definitely open season.. Will bring the single dollars bills..What happens in BG, stays in BG..

J Banning · 04-14-2007, 10:17 PM

I'm planing on leaving DE between 4-5am on Monday morning. Drive straight through, but stopping several times for fuel and rest. No land speed records, just trying to make a decent average and have fun. Wayne, if you go with us that'll make 3 truck/trailers.

I'm sending my membership dues in any day (ugh!), and will pay for all race tickets at the gate. The 3 years I've gone, there has always been 1 rain day (Friday every time). That makes for a great time to see the surrounding areas... things like Holley, Vetter Museum and Factory, Nashville, Makers Mark Distilery,etc.

We leave B.G. to head home Sunday morning around 7 or so. The last two times we made the trip we stayed overnight in Charleston, Wv.

If you can only come for a couple of days, make sure you are there for Saturday. No racing sunday.

not going to be able to make that date going to be in Detroit.

Banning,
I'd like to drive down with your convoy on Monday morning.

Chuck,
If you're going to head down Monday, you could meet-up with the convoy at 70 & 15 near Frederick, or 70 & 81 near Hagerstown.
