That is VERY cool of you.

Nothing as of yet. Still waiting on Socal.

We can plan the route though. It looks like most people don't mind it being a one day drive all the way down. Is that right?

I'm off Wed-Wed that week, so if ya'll take off a day early I'll have to play catch-up

Sorry guys, I was just browsing the cali section and just reading up on you guys' plans for the fest. I noticed you guys are planning for a time change. Everyone "springs forward" March 13th this year. Well, everyone except for a few states, like AZ. So the time will be exactly the same during camaro5fest.

Can't wait to see you guys there!

*Mindz* · 02-02-2011, 03:48 PM

yup. AZ doesn't observe DST.

This means if we leave at 4am, we'll arrive at the hotel(s) at 1am including the hour we lose from the time zone change.

Right, which means cali time will be the same as AZ time. Just wanted to clear that up in case there was confusion.

I'm nervous about doing it all in one day. But I'll do whatever the group decides.

If its really that hard on me I can always take 2 days to drive myself home.

Don't worry Becka...we'll help you get home safely

It's easy to try and make it back in one or two days, I'm worried about the drive there. It would suck if you got tired going there and lost a day, that's why I'm just planning on leaving one day early and joining the Nor Cal or So Cal group on the second day for the last 350 miles or so. I hope there will be others that do this, other wise I will just have to cruise alone with some good music and no police escort.

Just load up on Redbull man!

Redbull, 5 hour energy, nothing worked on my drive to vegas. Then again, I was driving on 2 hours sleep.
