2009 Rossion Roadtrip *EPIC*
OK, the memory of the last trip with the Noble across the country is faded enough that I am going to try this again. If anyone wants to meet up and if the schedule works out, let me know. I know I had a few people I was going to see last time and then my plans had to drastically change after experiencing some build issues on the Noble (since sorted).
Basically I am picking up the Rossion on May 26th and drive to the Lotus Owners Gathering in Birmingham Alabama, going to Talladega and Barber. Then driving up Monday to Tail of the Dragon. Leaving Tuesday. Driving to Chicago and picking up Route 66 all the way to Santa Monica.

Wow, what a trip!!!
Would be a shame to not be able to spend a few minutes at Autobahn on the 3rd...we're in Joliet just off I-55 which is the main drag to St. Louis...bring Racy Tracy for lunch and then let's play for a few laps at least!! Seriously, would be my pleasure to host you if you can fit in a few hrs...

Randy, I am in N GA and not far from the Cher. Skyway, perhaps and hr'ish, so I will try to stay in touch around that time. About 1 hr NNW of ATL.
Plus, I am off that week with inlaws in, so perhaps I can hook up with you on I75 on the way North, or alternatively if you come up 575 / 515 which goes right by here. Would love to do some run time alongside the Rossion. Would be a hoot ! There are loads of great runs between here and the Skyway. PM or email me if interested and I will supply direct contact details.

Wow Randy, that's exactly the trip I was wanting to make as well... That used to be my annual Mecca to LOG every year!! I didn't go last year as I was Lotus-less, but my Famous Event at the '07 LOG was plenty for my wife and needed to take a break
 I'd love to make that trip with you, but due to the plethora of projects I've got going on right now, it will be very difficult to get away like that for the week. Either way, I will definitely see you down here, as it will be a Freak'n Blast to have 2 Rossion Twins driving down the road in S. Florida!!

Hey Randy.....you're a hardy soul after the story you told about your last cross-country trip (when you picked up the Noble). You're either very brave or a glutton for punshment!
Let's hope this one goes much less eventfully!
