Just registered for the hotel, the only non-smoking rooms left are upgraded rooms w/ 2 queen beds. The outrageous rate of $89 (gee, things are much cheaper in AR). Am working on getting registered for Palooza itself now.
Chuck S., look forward to meeting you finally. Are you planning a meetup in the Memphis area? I'd love to ride over there with you. Have radar detector, will travel.

Brian/Everyone - You don't have to drive a Porsche to attend/visit the event. Drive anything you like. My father is driving his Lexus, so feel free to drive anything you like. We'll be going up very early that morning because I'll be showing large prints again this year (from last year's event).
Travis - thanks for posting the link to my website for the Palooza event books & prints! If anyone wants one of those prints, please order asap - so I can bring the print with me. http://www.kellyshipp.com/photos/porsche-palooza.php

Bill,
We usually meet at the first rest stop that you come to on I-40 as you enter Arkansas. Normally meet that Friday morning (11/13) at 9:30 or so. I'll keep you posted. It's a fun drive.

Hello all,
Palooza is fast approaching and it's time to start planning. Last year, several from Dallas hooked up with several from Arkansas to drive the final leg into Eureka together.
For anyone interested in joining this year, we'll plan on meeting at around 2:30pm on Friday the 13th (uh oh). The meeting place will be same as last year which is the Hwy 23 North exit from I-40 in Ozark, AR. I believe it's exit 35. There's a small store of some sort on the west side of 23 just about 1/4 mile north of I-40.
For those who don't know, Hwy 23 is aka the Pig Trail and is about 2 hours of twisties that leads right into Eureka.
Chime in if you plan on joining the fun so no one gets left behind.

We need to do that. Do you know how Jason?
Also some of us are meeting at around 12:30 in Alma (I-40 Exit 13) for lunch. Everyone's invited. We'll decide where when we get closer to the 13th.

I know it's out there on the Pelican forum.
Looking forward to seeing everyone. Those of us coming from the east may cut off before the pig tail like we did last year. We had a pretty nice route and we got off I-40 sooner. I'll let everyone know.

Well, the way it looks right now I'm going to have to both lead and try to keep up on the spirited drive by myself since I'm the only one in a Cayenne! Maybe they'll just have me following behind the 944's in case they break down....
....but then who's going to follow me in case my coolant tubes or cardian shaft goes?? 
Look forward to the trip, just hope no one tries to load me up with child seats....

I talk to them frequently about it and last I heard on Monday, they hadn't decided who will be attending. I'm sure someone will as they are a sponsor. Wayne told me that he hopes to go this year because he missed last year.

You guys need to try HWY 123 (Lurton,ar to Hasty, ar) on your way up. This road is a must in AR!!
See if this link will work.
