Eric,  I thought you were going to Loring.  That last post sure doesn't look that way.  Milt

Charles,

I'm flying into Greensboro from Florida on Monday and will be staying with Luke's in Winston-Salem.
Then we head to David Maty's place in Raleigh sometime Wednesday afternoon, so we can get on the road by 4pm.

Rough plan is to get to North Haven, CT ~2am, and get a hotel room ....  
.. Sleep till 9am, get on the road by 10, get to Loring by 7-8 at night Thursday.

Not sure where exactly David's address is, but will try to find out.

Charles, somebody else's free beer always tastes better !!
David was unable to get a dyno booking for when he was off work, so it looks like Luke and I may have to go to Raleigh for some pulls on Tuesday and not sure if we will go back to W-S or not.

We'd love to convoy with you, so PM me your telephone number and Maty will give you a call to discuss our route.

Hey y'all-

Brian Lohnes (BangShift.com) & I will be attempting to merge in with caravans on Thurs...  I'm in my incredible hulk o' junk green '56, and he's in who knows what.  He mentioned Keith Turk will be rolling through Mass on Thurs too, so Keith is target numero uno.  Brian mentioned he might be picking up the Freiburgler at the airport, so we'll see how that affects timing.  'Cause ya know, airlines are ALWAYS on time, right?

PM me if you'd like my number to connect up.
