Starting this thread to see who is going to Okteenerfest from DFW?

Clay and Betty are going and invited me to tag along (and try to keep me from getting lost). (IMG:style_emoticons/default/red914.jpg) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/betty914.jpg)

Who else is going?

Ok, Clay might be a 'Road Warrior', but I belong to the 'Why Make It Tougher Than It Needs To Be Club'. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) I like to stop every couple of hours - plus we plan on having enough radios with us so every car gets one and we can all communicate on the road.

I've always made the joke that 914 people are like the Marines in that, 'we don't leave anybody behind'. I hate the thought of anybody driving alone anywhere along the route, so, how about this instead:

1) We've always made better time on road trips than Google Maps says we will - and we do NOT drive like maniacs on the highway!

2) From Bill and our neck of the woods (Bedford / Hurst TX) to Livingston AL is 560 miles (8 hours 17 minutes of driving), so a little over 9 hours of total time on the road including stops.

3) If we can get on the road by 8:00 a.m. in Livingston AL, then it's just under 2 hours to Barber Vintage Motorsports Museum which puts us there before 10:00 a.m. when they open.

4) If we leave the museum around 1:00 p.m.-ish, that puts us at the hotel in Helen GA around 6:00 p.m. local time (we change time zones at the GA border - ask Kelvin and Donna how we know that - we are still sorry about making you guys wait last year!) and registration closes at 7:00 p.m.

If the above sounds good, there are only two hotels in/around Livingston AL so perhaps check availability soonish?
