When I showed up on thursday last year there where maybe around 20 cars when I rolled in. I showed up late after noon about 5 ish on thursday.

The car cleaning was set up on friday (however I had an appointment at a local detail shop and didn't use it)

I will prob will use it this year as we only have a 4 hour drive vs the 12 hour drive I had last year. Bring a bucket and car soap as thay really only provided a hose, water and a spot to wash your car and pray it don't rain

Alright thanks. For one, I'm considering changing my room reservation to the 28-30 and heading down early Friday morning, but also when I want to wash and detail the car since I'm particular about that, and it's impossible to wash the black during the day in direct sunlight. I always wash early in the morning or in the evening. I'm bringing all my wash and detail supplies. And, yes, let's hope the weather is decent.

Sorry Tadd, if I can I'm going to. So for Friday, I'd either head down with Wayne and Ashley that morning or down I-75 to I-70 on my own because that's significantly shorter for me than taking I-69. Depends on how I feel when the time comes.

That would also be true for me also Matt, But I just want to be able to have us all travel (arrive) there together as a group...So, Im willing to go the extra mileage via I-94 to M-50 (truck route which cuts out about 1 hr travel time to I-69-from I-94) Then head down to indiana line from there.

From my house to Indiana line is about a 2 hr drive....according to mapquest...

Either route is ony about a 40 min difference in travel time...
On sunday...I just may end up takeing the I-75 route home... So the Mrs will be home sooner for her dr. appt on Monday...
