Im not sure where you guys up North want to start but Im near exit 3 or 4 on NJTP. The Clara Barton rest area is just south of Exit 2 which would be a good place to gather.

Is someone going to try to coordinate the starting point for folks up North around NYC area?

I could possibly have some people stay at my place if they want to break up the drive.

Im definitely taking off Friday and since its close enough I might just leave early Friday. Could go down Thurs night and crash the hotel. Will have to see what the consensus is.

No idea when everyone is planning to leave I figured leave Friday get teched and settled for shenanigans. It's a three hour drive from my area so if anyone from North or wherever wants to split their travel up they are always welcomed to stay at my place Thursday evening. We just moved in though so unfortunetly no spare bed but all the couch in the world is up for grabs

So because my wife is f%^k&#g amazing, she agreed to re-scheduling our delayed honeymoon so I can make it to Expo. :o :o :o :o

So now I have some planning to do.

When does event usually end?

Is it possible to pack up Sunday after racing and drive the 6 hours home without getting in a 3am?

Or do I try to get Monday also and crash the night.... I'm thinking I have to take Fri/Mon from work.

Very cool that you can make this work!

As far as travel plans, it can go either way. Some people stay an extra night to hang out and sleep before the drive back. Others pack up early (after lunch on Sunday for example) for their drive back.

The event itself is over once the track is cold at 5 PM.

I will most likely grab a room Friday and Saturday night and head home Sunday.

Close enough for me as well but I'm still spending the night for a nice relaxing drive on Monday.

Fixed. Assuming I have a running EG and PTO to burn, I'm down to hit up Red Oak and Charloot or Rawleigh post-Expo.
