Lee, hate you won't be able to make it...maybe next time. Glad that some others will be able to make it.

In the past we met up in Hillsborough for the triangle area folks, and then again in Semora for everyone else. I'm up for doing the same this year. We can make the call some time next week.

The schedule would tentatively be:
Meet and leave from Hillsborough around 7-7:15.
Meet and leave from Semora Gas Station at 8.

I'm open to suggestions.

I think most everyone chooses to drive up the morning of.

The raleigh folks and the triad folks usually meet up at this gas station:

Semora NC Gas Station

We'll leave that gas station at around 8 am (which should put us at the track around 8:10-8:15). The gates open at 8:30 but a line always forms earlier than that.

For the Raleigh folks we'll meet at this Wendy's in Hillsborough and try to leave at 7am sharp:

Wendy's Hillsborough

There are several breakfast places nearby, but if you plan on eating there please account for that and arrive early.

As of right now, it's iffy that I'll have the car together this weekend. Even so, I might be doing a break-in of sorts for a few hundred miles and won't be pushing the car hard.

I could bring the E30 but it's slow as hell (109 monstrous horsepower!). I'll probably end up riding shotgun with my buddy in his Miata. We may join the Raleigh caravan though if that's alright.

Sure, as always, anyone in any car is welcome to join us. I'll leave you on the list for the Raleigh caravan.

We should be able to meet up in hillsborough, its about 15 min extra for us coming from north of raleigh, but that early traffic shouldnt make much difference.
