My wife and I will both be driving this year.
Enjoy driving the little ones around while they still fit in the back seat. My daughter's almost as tall as me now and her legs go everywhere when she tries to sit in the back seat. I remember not too long ago when she rode all the way to Daytona back there. I think she'd need traction if she tried that now.

There was a time in the Old North State (don't know for sure, the law might even be still on the books!) when the legal drinking age for hard liquor was 21, beer and wine 18, or, if you were a married male, 16 for anything you cared to guzzle...

I'll be there - just got my room reserved!!

My dog + RC experience is limited. Once my friends black lab chased the thing for so long she passed out. It was a small nitro buggy so she never caught it... the fumes probably didn't help.

My dogs are spooked except for the big one and he'll flip it if he can catch it... but again the noise freaks him out at first. I'll have to see if I can throw my street/truck car in the back! Don't want things flying around while driving down there!

NOW, the helicopter would be cool! Since it is our 10th anniversary I have contacted a company about taking an aerial photo of the event.. BUT if we could rig a camera on your copter and figure out a way to take the pics it would be a LOT cheaper :-)

How high will it fly??

Straight up out of sight.

The heli woudl not be the way to go. Without a special mount, vibration woudl kill us. We need a nice slow RC plane. I cant fit one in the 928. I am picking up some parts from rixter and will not have teh room for the return home.

My on-road car does over 70 mph and my 4x4 truck tops out at i think abotu 40, never clocked it

It's always windy in the mountains. Unless it freezing cold and all fogged up.

He'll end up having to park in the Disavowed section.

Wonder if it's the same weekend as the Boxsters in the next town over.

To be more PC, we prefer to call that the "other" parking area :-)
