I'm keeping an active list of everybody that will be participating. If possible, would you email your registration as instructed above? That way I can keep everything in the same place.

I'm in! Can you post the map you have made on Google?
And do things like grill blocks and wheel skirts count as streamlined? Or only more advanced things?

Travel will be in a counter-clockwise direction.

Any thoughts to doing it Saturday instead? Sunday would put an out of towner like me getting home around 5am Monday (without stopping), and being at work at 7. Saturday lets us split the drive up.

That's good with me!

I had chosen Sunday because of the typical traffic around DC. However, at 3pm on a saturday I suppose it wouldn't be too horrible either.

So, Saturday works, I'll make the appropriate changes.
