Hi folks,
I'm just asking if there is any interested in an October 7-8, 2007, Georgetown Kentucky, hybrid rally?
BACKGROUND
The Toyota Georgetown Kentucky plant has tours on Monday, Columbus Day, and a dozen of us visited the plant last year. A holiday weekend with off-season rates, it is an affordable weekender trip. For me, it was an easy drive, sleep-over and then drive home after the tour. Fall weather, we hit on a rain day but the drive up was drop-dead gorgeous through the mountains from Knoxville.
PROPOSED SCHEDULE
Sunday afternoon we'll have a hybrid car rally. It will include:
- static displays
- group dinner
- after dinner papers and 'birds of a feather' sessions
Monday day, we'll have two factory tour groups: one in the morning and one in the afternoon. We'll also try to have more 'birds of a feather' discussions and invite the plant and local university engineering school folks to join us. Static car displays will continue in the parking lot. We'll make arrangements to have papers copied and shared for reproduction cost. There will be a 'tanks thanks' poster board for the fill-up receipt and miles into Georgetown.
DISTANCES
Kansas City - 600 miles
Madison WI - 510 miles
Washington DC - 550 miles
Tallahassee FL - 580 miles
Little Rock AR - 570 miles

I need to know there will be enough folks coming to be worth the effort. Last year was fun but I was mostly interested in the plant tour. This year, I'd be more interested in the rally. But if there is no real interest, it doesn't make sense to waste time.
