The dealerships are in Charleston, WV which is about a three hour trip (all interstate) from the hotel in Morgantown.

Bowling Green is a four to five hour drive from Charleston. Last year we average 83 mph on the road with 9 of us from Morgantown and 13 of us from Hurricane Chevrolet.

I can give better directions to the hotel if anyone plans to stay there Monday night.

Morgantown WV will be too far North 4 me, But Charlston for lunch will be fine

Lets get the party started.

You know I am also going to the CF V in May but I am more excited about this trip.

OK! sounds like the meeting place will be Charleston, WV (I-64)area around 12 noon on Tuesday. Dealership to be determined-WVphoto, should we still go with Hurricaine or try your new place? I am game for a new dealership!

I will be leaving from Northeastern PA. [Scranton area], on Monday morning. Will be heading south on I-81, to I-68 west. Spend Monday night somewhere in W VA, and then meet up with you all at the dealership at noon Tuesday.

Ray,

You might want to send Jeremy (Speedracer) a PM he is in the Albany area and may be looking for a running mate for the trip on Monday.

The last two years we stayed at a nice Holiday Inn Express in Morgantown, right off the highway. From there its a tree hour ride to Charleston the next morning.

Sounds like a plan!

Anybody else want to join the Crack of Dawn caravan leaving Tuesday for Charleston?

A good meeting place would be Exit 28 of the Phila Turnpike.

I feel like I'm runnin moonshine with this trip.

Yeah I remember that guy. He didn't pass us we let him stay out front as (Smokey) Bear Bait.

Question:

When a dealership is picked out, can you let me know what hotels are nearby?

I am thinking of driving there Monday night.

Just did a mapquest, about 6 1/2 hours. Maybe less

**blkZ06** · 02-24-2004, 07:00 PM

if we meet at Hurricaine Chev like we have the last 2 yrs, Teays Valley is very close, there's a Hampton Inn right off the highway-

Speedracer · 03-12-2004, 10:35 AM

OK Guys, I'll volunteer to help co-ordinate this thing. It looks like the one thing we have in common is that all of us from wherever we are coming from plan to meet at Hurricane. I think things need to be worked backwards from there.

I'll work on the plans to get the New England/NY crew to Hurricane. Marks plan worked excellent last year so I think we should copy it this year. It dipped down south out of the way a liitle bit to hit Hurricane and meet up with some folks from Philly, NJ, VA, etc. Those of you who can't leave until Monday night/ Tuesday morning can form your own groups and either meet up with the Caravan along it's path or just meet up at Hurricane. As for Hotels, I think the ones we used last year worked out well.

Sconi, can't you just go to one of the other thousand NASCAR races instead? I know you go to Loudon every year but would it really hurt you to miss it one year??? Go to the NASCAR race at Watkins Glen instead...

I would be interested in hooking up with the Caravan at the dealership. How many hours at civilized speeds would it be from Northern VA to Charleston WV?
