VOA Homecoming/ National Viper Event

[Boba Fett]

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 in!!!!!!!!!!!

Wife to London Heathrow
Virgin Atlantic 747 to JFK

Then slow red RT to Detroit.....

I wouldn't.

[dbow119]

Baz-That is awesome that you'll be joining all the way from London! So I'm assuming a lot of people will be meeting at the Viper Wizard's garage. Now I guess the question I should ask is what time is everyone meeting and what route is the "slow red RT/10" taking to Detroit?

We're trying to put together caravan details for our region and should have some posted this weekend. The WV/PA region has invited us to hook up with their big caravan in PA. They would like to meet up with us in Pocono on Rte 80 early Thursday morning. I'm in for that. I'll have an idea of who is driving from NY/CT this weekend. This is going to be a run trip.

Tony So far we are meeting at the McDonalds at the intersection of Route 80 and Northeast Extension (Route 476) at 8:30 and leaving at 9am sharp. This is exit 277 on Route 80 in the Pocono's. We will have lunch in Clarion which is exit 62 on Route 80. This is about 210 miles. I am working with Janey from the Ohio Club to get a block of rooms along Route 80 between Cleveland and Toledo. We will then drive to Toledo to meet the caravan. I am working right now with Janey on the details. We 19 members going to homecoming. We have 11 cars meeting at the Pocono location to drive out on July 17, 2014. I have asked Janey for a block of 20 rooms. We need 15 rooms plus one member from Ohio may stay with us leaving 4 rooms. If you guys want to join us I can add rooms but now is the time to let me know. We have been finding a lot of booked hotels along Route 80 during that night.

[ViperTony]

Thanks Mike. 22 members from NY/CT have registered for the VOA. We'll know this weekend how many will be driving to Detroit. - Tony

O yes I did! I have a roll of duck tape and I'm placing a towel on the passenger seat because this Brit yellow Viper owner has never seen speeds that we're about to do!

If that means you'll be driving 47mph in the passing lane with your right blinker on then he's seen that before. Oh yeah, I went there.

Any update on the NY/CT caravan? Number of cars, meeting times, which hotel people are staying at?

No updates yet. Actually, I can use help getting this organized. I do have a list of NY/CT members that have registered for the homecoming. Tomorrow I will send out an email to those folks asking if they intend to caravan to Detroit. 22 members in NY/CT are going to the homecoming. We'll find out how many are driving.

Ideally, I'd like to leave the morning of 7/17 and meet up with the WV/PA crew in Pocono. We'll be driving through there anyway. The more the merrier.

If any NY/CT members would like to help plan this caravan, please PM me.

Thanks,
Tony

Those members leaving from Tators Garage, any idea where you would be picking up Rt 80 and around what time? I would like to meet up at RT 80 which I assume would be sometime on Thursday morning? I'm going to be leaving from the very most northern part of N.J.. If this group also has a hotel in mind also would be appreciated. I'm a new NY/CT member and a bit confused with all the posts about who is going where, when and with whom.

Will see you on 80 as we'll leave from North Jersey then around 6:00 am. You should run up on us "Black convertible / Gen 3 with gold hurst stripes". We are all set with our room in Freemont.

[ViperTony]

5:00am holy crack of Dawn! My neighbors will be waking up early that morning.

[00VPRGTS]

More like 4:00am, still need to get to Tators! Yikes!

Hey Dagwood, I was trying to plan my route and every time I entered the Mcdonalds it kept making me go some long way. If you use the Wawa, Pennsylvania 940, Kidder, PA 18661, Which is right across the street it cuts 25 minutes from the trip.
