    Nate, you should come out sometime and we'll all go to the track. Dragonhealer is dying to host Festivacross @ INDE Motorsport ranch, but we would need at least 20 cars to make it affordable.
    Festivacross! Sounds amazing

          Live in Lexington near I-64. Maybe meet up? An alternate route off of I-75 would be US 25 E out of Corbin, Kentucky. It is just about the same time if not less and less miles. Used to be in the road map distribution business and went to Charlotte that way. Phone 1-859-0562.

            I wish I'd known that before. We're going out there possibly tonight and tomorrow and then driving back to Barb's for the BBQ and to lend a hand on the project car. 2 of the guys in the convoy have never seen the Atlantic.

              Update on Mad Dash 2015

              We crossed the Mississippi last night, and stayed the night in some little town about 150 miles east of Memphis. The cars are running great, but all 3 are getting much worse gas mileage since we entered Texas.
              B6 is getting 37 mpg
              B6D is getting 35 mpg
              B6t is getting 32mpg
              We are averaging 70mph now. I'm not sure if the drop in mpg is due to the fuel or a head wind.
              The b6 swap car has really started to shine now. It took about 1000 miles for the ECM to optimise for the new engine, since it's all stock B3 injection. The car pulls really hard and has really impressed us at how well it'll keep up with Tweak and Pedro. Anyone who swaps a bigger more powerful engine into a car with stock management should really give the car 1000 miles or more to sort itself out.

                I would love that! Some day. I've never driven on a track, but it would be awesome. I need to actually finish one of my own cars first!

                              I made it to Lexington, KY a bit ago. Will probably be leaving about 11 or so tomorrow (Thursday) and not stopping until I see the lights of Raleigh. So far, 2298 miles.
