Nve 2

[Grave Digger]

Anyone thinking of going to New orleans for NVE 2? I'm kicking around the idea of driving down and trailering back. But I need to price this all out. Maybe we can get a deal if more people are thinking the same. I'm not 100% but wanted to see what others are thinking.

There are several us going. We have been talking about doing the same thing, drive down and ship back if there is a good enough deal. If not I will probably drive back and the wife will fly back.

Going. Most likely going to trailer the Viper down/back with the Ram...as well as trailer back the door prize. <- JUST JOKING.

Got room in the trailer?

[SlateEd]

Definitely going - everyone remember to renew with Mamba membership this year to save big on the event cost!

I like the idea of caravaning down and shipping back. I'd recommend signing up as soon as tickets are available tomorrow and we will continue the logistics conversation. After seeing what National and Ed B from Missisippi/Louisiana have planned, it's worth it no matter how you get there!

[John B]

Carol and I are going and confirmed. Keep me in the loop for driving down and shipping back.

[00VPRGTS]

I just registered and booked my room. Time to start planning the to/from!

[99ACR]

Booked and going! Looking forward to a great time!

Awesome Dennis! Just imagine the trash talking we have ahead....auto cross, go carts, my new Viper when they give it to me.

Registered today!! I'm definitely in on the caravan there. Haven't decided whether I'll be driving back or not.

Super excited; I've never been to New Orleans. Only a short 6 months away.

I will be trailering both ways.

[99ACR]

It's going to be fun,fun,fun! I will be trailering , mama doesn't like riding in the noisy car that long.
I may be brining back the new Viper on my trailer. I have to be prepared. I booked hotel 11th - 15th.

Confirmed tickets for me and Courtney... will need to figure out how we're getting there.... Still a possibility that we'll tow my Viper with a Hellcat Jeep :-)

Begs the question whether you'll need the Viper at all? Hehe.

[Boba Fett]

Wife n I are all signed up. Not taking Viper though.

[SlateEd]

Hey Folks - if you're thinking about putting your car in a transporter truck for one-way or both-ways please weigh in via email or post up here.

Big thanks to Adrian for looking into the prices with top Viper carriers! Let's get him a solid survey of how many Vipers and where they're coming from to work on the prices.

Thanks!

If any of you guys are interested, the Ohio club is putting together a convoy down and back. We are driving down and spending the night in Huntsville, AL. Then on the way back we are stopping in Knoxville, TN for an extra day to do a tour through the Smoky Mountains including the Tail of the Dragon.

Stretch, I might be interested in following on the way back. This is going to be the cross country road trip that I never had the chance to take.

Cool! We are working on the hotel room blocks at the 2 stops right now. As soon as we have that finalized we will get the details posted to the forums here so people can work on their travel plans.

That might work out perfectly .. what time do you expect to hit Huntsville? There's a place in Decatur that I'm dying to hit for dinner :-)

One way or the other we should coordinate where our paths meet up... I think we will collect NE, NY/CT, NJ, PA/WV along rt 81

[Stretch]

Here is the tentative plan.

Monday 5/9 - Leave Columbus, OH about 8 am. Drive all the way to Huntsville, AL. It's about 8-9 hours of drive time alone, so we will get there late in the evening I think.
Tuesday 5/10 - Drive from Huntsville, AL to New Orleans.

Sunday 5/15 - Drive from New Orleans to Knoxville, TN.
Monday 5/16 - Scenic tour through the Smoky Mountains.
Tuesday 5/17 - Drive home.

2. Ed, 1 Viper one way back
3. JohnB, 1 Viper one way back
4. Grave Digger? 1 way back?
5. 93 - Round trip depending on price
6. Joe - round trip? depending on price
7. SuppaSnake - Round trip?
8. Rock - 1 Way back
