California Convoy
Vegas Convoy
Utah Convoy
CDN West Convoy

The Cali Convoy is going E/B on 10 so Vegas is out for us.

If you do go I-5 at the last minute keep an eye on http://www.camaro5.com/forums/showthread.php?t=107517 & http://www.camaro5.com/forums/showthread.php?t=124878 and you can head south with us.

Where ever Ssooch and Slowkray go, Darth goes too. Just tell me when and where

From there we could hit it and not stop til Cedar City and that would just be for gas. Then be in Vegas for Breakfast around 9-10am. Then probably two more stops, one for lunch and gas and one more for gas and then try to be in Chandler by 6pm for the meet and greet and to check into our rooms. I don't want to show up too late because as many of you know hotel rooms are always overbooked and there is a chance that a room won't be there for you.

I'm even considering leaving Wednesday around 3pm, be in vegas by 9pm and stay the night and then hit it from Vegas early Thursday morning. Just a thought.

I really do think we need to meet up right close to I-15 and not dilly dally to long. But i do think we can make it to St, George then fill up. Just for that extra little bit closer we could be. Since that is only 300 miles.

Leaving at 3pm is good and all, its just there not even going to allow us on the track Thursday, that day is for sponsor set up. So i really am not to worried about getting there early. Then it would just mean we have to find something else to do in AZ for about 9 hours.

And what do you mean leave Vegas early, we will probably all be hammered

and need some extra recovery time if we decide to stay the night there.

Is anyone else thinking some walkie talkies as well?

SSOOCH · 02-04-2011, 12:56 AM

We have two way radios but they're pure shit. Maybe we'll pick up
better ones.

DDA_Skull · 02-04-2011, 01:12 AM

So are you not worried about getting to AZ and kinda getting stuck with our thumbs up out butts?

sheslc4 · 02-04-2011, 01:14 AM

Just curious if this would even be possible...
Could On Star link us all together for just those days? and use it like a walkie talkie?

I am sure there are some nice places for photo ops. I want to go out to the Cardinal's Stadium for a pic while I am there.

That would be neat, but i'm thinking no. And Verizon only has 3 way calling.

Yes. Thanks. Hoping we can take the shorter route though.

CDN Convoy

is planning to be in Vegas Wednesday night and hook up with Utah and Vegas group.

SSOOCH · 02-04-2011, 01:56 PM

after talking more to Mrs. Sooch about this I'm 99.9% certain we're going to head out Wednesday day around 1PM so we can be in Vegas by 7PM.
