This is an initial call for all NorthEast folks heading out Road Atlanta in november for the annual ARRC bash. As before, we'd like to get a headcount of who's going and what you're driving, so that we can present that information in advance to the ARRC organizers. They will work to get us all paddocked together in one common area.
So, if you're planning on going - even if you only THINK you might be going - post here the following information:
Name
Car type and class
Tow vehicle make and model
Trailer make, model, and size - Note all open trailers will have to be stowed away from the paddock "down the hill."
One side issue of importance is the travel costs. Several of us are trying to figure out how we can consolidate travel plans in order to reduce costs. With fuel prices the way they are anything we can do to reduce costs is appreciated. There is really no reason why we have to each have our own tow vehicles and trailers if we can work together.
For example, do you have a truck capable of pulling more than a single-car trailer? Do you have access to a multi-car trailer, open or closed? If the former, would you be interested in pulling a multi-car trailer? If the latter, are you willing to let someone borrow it? And finally, for getting down there I have a 15-passenger van; ask Dave and Melissa Gran how fun that trip was last year versus driving all by yourself...
I volunteer to be the central depository for all this info, and I can coordinate any kind of ride-sharing. If you have specific question feel free to post here, or feel free to email (grega -at- pobox -dot- com) or PM me directly.
It's never too early to start preparing.

Definitely interested in sharing travel costs with someone else. The optimal setup for me would be to place my car and/or equipment on someone else's trailer and driving down the party van with bodies only.
