Wouldn't you rather leave very early on the 19th and drive non stop to BG? We could pit stop in Texarkana and meet up with the central/Dallas group.
What time is "very early"? It's about six hours from Houston to Texarkana.

Life is tough, but it's tougher when you're stupid...John Wayne.
Si vis pacem, para bellum.
The trip should take us about 15 hours if we only stop for fuel and food. I'm cool with stopping in Texarkana for an hour or so for lunch and to meet up with the N. Texas people. If we leave Houston at 4 AM...that should put us in Texarkana right around lunch time. Does that sound about right?

Holy crap! We are driving straight through?!?! Ok, no doze, caffiene, loud music, air, whatelse will I need to keep the vibrating feel and sound from putting me to sleep?
Last year we left Texarkana about 9:30 or 10:00 AM for BG...it's about 8-9 hrs from Texarkana to BG. Put us in BG about 6 or 7 PM. What time is the N Texas group planning to arrive in Texarkana ?
Ok. Here's the list of who is going. We'll figure out the details as the event draws closer. I am also willing to leave Houston on the 18th as long as I get to dyno the car that morning.

If I left anybody out, then let me know. If you want off the list, then let me know. This is gonna be fun if it kills us!
Figured I'd start this early. I am anxious to go already.
Please count me in among the Finest from the Lone Star State. Loud and Proud.
I'm new to Houston but this will be my second Z06 Fest. May trailer the Beast or I may drive it...to early to make that decision at this point. Unless I am either dead or actively dying, I'll be there...

You may want to add Art Mack - King Arthur. Art and I drove our two black Z06's up from Louisiana last year. It really helped to have walkie-talkies and serious radar detectors. We made it from Baton Rouge to Memphis in about 3 and a quarter hours at an average speed of 98.3 mpg - average. I am still waiting for someone to develop in-flight low-level refueling for the Corvette. Just my $0.02 worth.
