what are people's plans for driving down and hotels? Anybody want to split a hotel or something?

I'm splitting my hotel room with my wife. :)

As towards driving down I was planning on leaving from work on Friday at about 4:00 pm and caravaning with my wife (she's taking her car, I'm taking mine). Anyone have route suggestions to the hotel in Sand Springs? Google maps comes up with 3 suggestions:

1: I-35 to Ottawa then US-169 south
2: US-69 south to I-44
3: US-71 south to I-44

Since I'm in JoCo route 3 is out. No way am I slogging across 435 during rush to get to 71. Route 1 is intriguing since my wife is from Chanute and we used to drive down 169 all the time.

Or is there a better route I don't know about?

Jeff & Beowulf, I'm sure there'll be a caravan heading down Fri afternoon.

I've been to Hallett countless times. Without 435 and 71 rush hour traffic, even from JOCO, I think 71 to 44 is the overall fastest.

However, given the time you're leaving, the best route is 169 all the way to Tulsa. That's the route we will be taking Thurs night. If your wife is from Chanute, I don't have to tell you, Kustom may be testing their police radar under the bridge as you enter town! ;-) Also, Nowata, OK PD has a history of liking to chat with our members as they drive through town! :-(

Jeff, I'll keep my ears open for someone needing a room mate.

BTW everyone, make your room reservations at the Best Western. They are filling up.

we'll be leaving from the great northland (that's north of KC for the Joco audience) sometime Thursday; most likely late morning/early afternoon.

I'm staying near the track but I can swing through Tulsa first.

What time do guys think you'll head out of KC or arrive in Tulsa? I have the day off so I can head down anytime. The rest of the Nebraska gang will be down later or arrive first thing Friday.

S, we're not the ones to ask on that. We have an SCCA Club Race the weekend before. If all goes well, we will leave the car/trailer at Hallett. If not.....???

As we get closer, I'd expect the Thurs crew will make plans on this thread. Patrick will probably head straight south from Toepeeker which might work better for the NE boyz.

It's 2 weeks out. We still have spots open!

You know you want to join us!

maybe I scrolled past it, but what are the hotel details? I need to call down and make a reservation.

ah, just found it in the receipt:

got my HPDE insurance too... since I won't be able to make it in the Bimmer :(

damn, btw, if you're a procrastinator like me, they only have smoking rooms left unless you want the 'jacuzi' room for $87.99

Any details on driving plans from KC for Friday yet?

I'll be leaving from work in NKC around 5pm... anybody want to head out 'late' friday?
