Keep us Indiana folks posted, because I am waiting to see exactly when to book based on when others will be out there. Also I would like to see when people are leaving Indy or when groups from other areas may go through Indy and meet up with them. It is a blast to caravan with a bunch of XFs

While the final convoy/caravan route plans can wait till the middle/end of May, I don't believe it is in the best interest for everybody to wait to organize their plans (hotel, departures, events) that long. If you don't want to miss out on anything, I highly suggest being in St. Louis by Tuesday morning 8am (breakfast) and staying through the dinner Thursday evening. I know that may not work for some because of work or other commitments, but you won't be sorry if you're here the full three days.

Unlike the other gatherings many have been attending for a number of years, this is the first of this kind and we have something planned for everyday that offers a variety with minimal duplicity. Which by the way almost all of these events are at places which require reservations and down payments for groups as large as we may have.

Besides, with an estimated 122 (current) owners and significant others/friends/family members coming, the sooner we know who is doing what, the more likely we can increase the attendance capacity of events (if possible). If everyone waits until the end of May to make activity reservations, there may not be slots left and it may be too late to add more.

Also remember I must release all unbooked hotel rooms by mid May. So to get the ball rolling, I will be starting a new thread called CAA - Convoy/Caravan. Where people can start providing their information to others.

Sound advice Erzer. Good idea on the CAA Convoy/Caravan thread. That way we stop cluttering up this thread (me included) with other things.

We're booked from Monday to Friday, don't want to miss anything.

Thanks to the reminder about stickers from Gary for the Dragon Thread, I wanted you all to know we are in the final stages on getting some stickers made for this event too.

Not much else to go on the activities list outside of finalizing any race track event(s) on Wednesday.

But you are 100% correct about the hotel rooms, if people wait too long and we really start getting current list of 125 reserving rooms late, we'll run out of rooms w/o me being able to add more. Also, we need more activity in the signing up for events.

Since you are our regional 'leader', I for one, am waiting to see what your travel plans are before I book anything. I do not want to book rooms only to find out that everyone else is leaving or coming a day before or after. The sooner regional organizers can post their plans, I think it helps everyone else greatly, as we all know, caravaning with a group of XFs is pretty fun. Just my 0.02

I will post on the other thread as well....but, my plans are to leave on Monday....arrive Monday evening...as for departure time...that is still open...I will not be staying at the CAA hotel Monday night, but somewhere close by....but this doesn't have to be for anyone tagging along, you can stay where I stay or at the CAA hotel...if you want to hang with me, I will need to know that in advance to make sure they have enough rooms, just like the CAA hotel....
