that's interesting. For me, Barnstormers and The Farm II are only just minutes different as far as MapQuest estimations go.

Barnstormers 14 hours, 28 minutes Estimated Distance: 890.60 miles

The Farm II
Charlotte, NC 28221 14 hours, 37 minutes Total Est. Distance: 893.62 miles

perhaps we should take up a collection for our non-US-mainland friends? PayPal for our friends airline tickets? I admit, I'm still trying to formulate the '06 RC-Monster t-shirts. ;-) Sorry coolhand, I think the thongs should be excluded even though it might be as early as July :p :rolleyes: j/k buddy

I am thinking about this. Or rather I am trying to get my dad to think about it :p. If I had to take a guess, I would say my mom won't let me go (and pay for it), but I'll try to work on my dad. As it stands, my dad has enough air miles (from his credit card) for 1 round-trip ticket. If I were to go alone, I could possibly stay with my aunt and uncle that live in Morristown, New Jersey (how close is that to Mike?). Right now everything is just speculation, and I would need more information to even think about asking my mom.

Daniel, Sneeck and I are talking about this. The thing we are worried about is to get our trucks in the US, shipping them earlier is not an option.

I also understood that it is not allowed to have lipoly cells shipped by air. though i don't know if this a a fact.

I had this idea to rent a car on the airport, so we are as free as a bird from there.

All three of us, never been in the US, so it would be quite a trip/adventure for us.

I suggested July since my work start's around august the 10th. If we go(atleast for Rene and me) were gonna take a nice 2 week vacation while were at it. So to me July is better.

If this doesn't work out for whatever reason, I can always talk to my boss about some day's off in august. But I gotta know a date to be sure.

The travel time to the Farm is about the same as Barnstormeres for me. July works. Just give heads up on date so i can get it on calendar. NC sonds fun could tie in a visit to the Outerbanks. NY sounds fun as well, tie in NY city.

for me meeting at the farm 2 would be better because it would cut over 2 hours off my travel time and it looks like there would be more room(on the track) at the Farm 2.

Well I am close to farm 2. So it sounds good to me. I can be in ny in not to long. It doesn't matter a great deal. July or august doesn't matter either. I got good ties with my boss and take can off. ;)


Peace!

I have never been to the "farm", but I would surely love to go. The benefit of using Barnstormers is my relationship with the owner. I can easily secure the track for our event, and the owner is awesome at building tracks. We could design our own track, have a weekend long barbecue event or whatever. It is also 30 minutes from my house, which is a nice bonus. This makes it possible to get everything setup for the event! The actual date is not too important, except it must be a free weekend at the track(track must be available), so a firm date would be better sooner rather than later. Hopefully, we can get a date hammered out by February sometime so everyone can plan for it.
I really would love for this to happen, folks. I truly look forward to meeting as many of you in person as I possibly can! :)
