Dick,

It's a shame my wife and I couldn't roll back our time some. Our 2 vette's would look pretty slick cruisin down the highway together.
Nice Mid America gas station photo... looks to be vaguely familiar.

[QUOTE=78SEvette] ... Mike (Great Pumpkin) an I are meeting at a local "wet your whistle" at 6 AM and plan to be heading south about 6:15 or 6:30 at the latest. We will be traveling 75 south to Knoxville and then east to PF.  ... [/QUOTE]

Looks like you'll be the lead group of the UM/GL.  My guess has you at the I-74/I-75 junction around 9:30 AM on Thursday.  About 5 hrs to PF from there gets you into PF before 3 o'clock local time.

D/J,

That will put you at the I-74/I-75 junction around 1 o'clock.  The afore-mentioned approximate 5 hours to PF (plus the hour shift to EDT) should see you in PF around 7:00 PM local time.

[QUOTE=Tuxblacray] ... Leaving at 4:00pm on Thursday the 22. That will put us at the I275 / I75 split around 5:00pm. ... [/QUOTE]

[QUOTE=Tuxblacray] ... It is a 5.5 hour drive covering 350 miles. Driving straight through would put us there shortly after dark. (It gets dark in Indiana now at 10:00 pm since we changed to daylight savings time. If I remember right Tennessee is 1 hour behind Indiana time currently so it would be 9:00pm there.[/QUOTE]

Larry,

Looks like you'll be the third of the region into PF.  If my figuring is right you'll be there around 9:30 PM local time.  You're already in the EDT time zone so there isn't any shift for you.

[QUOTE=RUCRUZIN] ... Looks like I have a work commitment I cannot dodge on the 22nd of June that will keep me on the west siode of Michigan until 5pm.  I plan on leaving about 6pm and go a couple of hundred miles to the Dayton area.  Total trip for me is 700 miles so I figure if we get an 8am start and average 70 miles per hour that should put us into PF around 3pm Friday. ... [/QUOTE]

Ken,

Looks like you'll be the last of the UM/GL group to arrive in PF.

Corvettes and women are the same...You want to make love to them but they keep breaking down.
