We just want to know what days you will be with us so we can get an idea how many cars will be participating each day - this helps with planning and tells us how many leaders we need.

Ok thanks what time do I need to be there on Friday?

Before 9am if you want to go with us on Friday runs.

Before 800pm or so if you want to go on Saturday runs.
(Driver meeting is at 9pm, but it's kinda good to be there ahead of that to mingle and talk...)

You better. I'll be able to talk to all of you at once - from 32,000 feet over north Georgia.

A last minute business trip to Byron, Illinois next week is going to prevent us from attending the XFire Fall ToD GTG. We have a lodge room with 2 queen beds (THU - MON) , if anyone is needing a room. Contact me at Dennis.EdwardsSr@yahoo.com.

Mark, I won't be there until early Friday morning. Can I be sent the lists for Friday and let you or Gary know to write me down on a particular list? I've seen the draft lists and have an idea that I'm going with Gary that day. But, I would like to see the final lists to decide for sure.

Should we expect any local issues as a result of hurricane Florence moving through the area?
