    If all goes well for me I hope to depart Marietta between 8:00AM and 9:00AM on Friday.

    I'm not far from I-75 and will be hauling the Pace Car on the trailer.

    I'm thinking either the on ramp to I-75 at Emerson / Cartersville or maybe the McDonalds at State Hwy. 20 and I-75?

    There is a gas station with diesel directly across from the McDonalds which would be good for me to fill up.

      If I can get mine up to snuff I'll meet up with ya. Exit 296 Cass / White Exit just north of Cartersville has a T/A and Pilot with a Burger King and McDonalds respectively.

        I usually jump on at exit 285 (Red Top). Call me when it gets closer and I'll roll with y'all.

          I will most likely join this group on Friday morning. I'm just off exit 277 so I can meet you guys where ever makes sense to get the truck filled.

            How is this?

            The red circles the entire McDonalds and the yellow area circles the truck stop area of their parking lot. The gas / diesel station is across the street. These pics are north & south.

            I'm shooting for being there sometime between 9:00AM and 10:00AM on Friday morning. The earlier the better of course. That should put us at the hotel somewhere between 3:00PM and 4:00PM from what I remember last time. Also my cruising range is about twice that of an SVO so you guys can lead the way. I like to cruise about 80MPH...

                It is official, at the very least I will not be going up on Friday. One of my customers has scheduled a meeting in Milledgeville, GA on the 5th. Dependant on the meeting I may not make the weekend at all.

                    I will be leaving for Kentucky Thursday morning.

                    Duck & JayG,
                    What time and where do you guys want to meet in Asheville?

                      I guess we need to first agree that the McDonald's is the place to meet up?

                      If it is I'd like to leave from there no later than 10:00AM.

                      If I'm not there by 10 for whatever reason you guys can go ahead without me.

                            You can still register the day of the event. PRE-registration is over - that's all. BRING THE SVO!!
