General Schedule

• Thursday we early birds will arrive and set up HQ at Baskins Creek Condos (info below in the Lodging and Food section). We may even get out for a night drive on the Foothills Parkway and up to Clingmans for a nightime spectacular!
• Friday we'll have registration open until 12PM, and then after 5PM in the evening. In between, anyone who wants can check into their room and check out the local scene.
• Saturday we'll have a couple of short and long organized drives, and our intent is to meet in the middle for lunch on the Cherohala Skyway route. This will allow group and individual drives, large and small, and free-lancers to enjoy the challenges of the local area and buzzing the Minis!
• Sunday we'll exfiltrate back home, hopefully without incident or intervention by others!

COORDINATION and INFORMATION:

1. Bring radios: GMRS/FRS radios are nearly universal in their availability. We generally setup on channel 9-14 (we use the sideband), but what is important is that you and your group have an alternate to cell phones. In some places, cells can't talk to one another even though you can see you buddy just ahead of you!
2. Bring rain gear. Last year the Blue Ridge Parkway was uncooperative. We still had a grand time, but it was cold and wet!
3. We'll provide a shorthand THP number and other emergency data at the driver's briefings.
4. Periodically we'll issue updates to registered entrants and on the websites. This might include intel, weather, packing lists, or whatever it is that is on my mind while I'm traveling at 0200 in a Delta luxo-liner!

How's this for some karting fun?

NOW: CONTINUE REGISTRATION! The early bird gets the worm (and the good rooms!)
