*** Some drivers will be picking up the group in Macon, GA. We are not scheduling a stop here but there will likely be a group staged and I will contact someone with the group so they could join up. We should hit Macon about 1:30.

If you have never been to a Summit Racing retail store, it is really something to see. We will depart Summit Racing at 12:30 sharp and head to the FEST! The last 230 miles should be pretty impressive with such a large caravan!

Key to the success of such a large caravan is making sure we stay on time. Times and meeting points are being determined for all routes and locations. It is imperative that we maintain the time frames indicated. The times will be set to allow a limited amount of time for groups to meet up and move out. When you select a meeting point, be there BEFORE the specified meeting time. Groups will need to depart the meeting locations at the specified times as to not be late to the next stop. The groups will be in contact with each other to update on progress along the way. Individual drivers may want to have contact information of the other members of the group they are in.
