VOA Homecoming/ National Viper Event

[dbow119]

Is anyone planning on going to the NVE? If so how many of you are planning on bringing your Viper? For those of you who are bringing your Viper: are you driving it there, using a personal trailer, or shipping it?

I have been trying to work things out so I can make it. I'd just drive the 9 hours. I don't think meeting in Dayton makes sense for me. Maybe the northeast should have our own caravan.

Im not far from you at all. Will this caravan be only for those who are taking their Vipers?

Randall Arnold, has said they will be making a stop in Toledo. So I'm planning on heading out Thursday, and stay overnight at the Courtyard Toledo Rossford/Perrysburg. I'm not sure if Randall is going to put together a block of rooms on Toledo, but I just booked something to be safe. The caravan is leaving Dayton at 6:30am, so they should be in Toledo about 8:30am.

I was playing around with an app last night called "Zello". It's like a walkie talkie / netxel direct connect that works on iPhone, android, blackberry, and PC platforms. it's free and we can setup private channels with a password. Only thing is if you don't have an unlimited data plan you'll have to keep that in mind.

I'm driving there. There are about 6 NY/CT members right now that are committed to driving to NVE.

[Viper Wizard]

Baz UK is flying in and we are driving out. Planning on meeting everyone in Dayton, OH Friday [7/18th] AM, then do the drive North.

[SlateEd]

I'm guessing the Dayton caravan could pick up some more cars at Toledo on the way to Detroit?

[Dusty1]

Herrs and I are planning on driving to Ohio to hook up from Houston. Will have to see who else will be interested.

I'm firming up my plans this week (laying out the family vacation schedule), so far it looks like I would be driving out there.

[dbow119]

Considering there appears to be many of us who plan on driving, who would be interested in meeting somewhere and having our own caravan going there where we can pick up others along the way? I think it would make the time go by faster driving with a group. Is everyone planning on taking I-90 through NY or is there an alternative route?

If you are going to Detroit from Albany go I88W to I86W to I90W
then RT2 to Toledo that way no tolls.

DO NOT DRIVE YOUR VIPER ON I86!!!! The stretch of road between Olean and Jamestown is completely destroyed. I used to live in that area and people blow tires/smash suspension all the time on the road. It has a large part to do with the Indians in the area and NYS is punishing them by not repairing the stretch of road thus hurting their casino business.

[ViperTony]

There will certainly be a caravan coming from the Northeast. Expect the NE, NJ and PA gang to join in on the fun.

[Hostile]

On rt 86 you have two choices between Allegany and Salamanca use
rt 417 to 219 then back on 86 or just slow down.

Skeeter, I personally don't mind paying for tolls as long as they take E-Z Pass lol. Has anyone decided on what the tentative route is and where we're all meeting up?

[Grave Digger]

I was looking at coming across 80 to 90. Then join the group in Toledo if possible. Could be a great photo op. Dbow, where you planning on going to Dayton?

[dbow119]

Grave Digger-I'm willing to take whichever route the caravan is planning on going.

[VIPER BAZ UK]

6hrs and counting ......

[VIPER BAZ UK]

30 minutes to go!!!!!!!!!

I signed up at 3:00 on the dot and by the time I got done there were only 155 seats left. I'm glad the car show I was at earlier ended early! Anyways, who else is registered?

Check this thread. It looks like folks were able to reserve hotel rooms at standard rates, then call and be given the club rate. Give it a try. http://driveviper.com/forums/threads...ighlight=hotel
