Nationals is coming up and so far, three of the RRA gang is going. Tyler (who is already in getting top 4 at regionals), Will (Xenio), and myself who will grind our way in. We will be taking my bright yellow Xterra (which has been named the Jolly Roger) that I plan on picking up this weekend and would love to have 2-3 others join us for gas/hotel and such. We are planning on getting a cheap hotel and arriving there wednesday night so that we can hit the grinders early on thur. Our route is taking us through texas so making a meeting place can be extremely easy as we may even be able to swing into plano to meet at Madness.

Any interested let me know via e-mail: or here on the boards. Price for gas/hotel till sunday mourning there and back is roughly around 115-140 though not sure yet as still hammering out the numbers and we may be crashing with some guys from Norman (1 who is in as well). Bed Calling can be done later as I always sleep under the sink.

If possible, we might see if there is a campground around with showers or a lake and see if we can’t camp it out which would drop the price considerly.

Letta me know.

(perfer over 18 though will take younger with parent’s ok that the kid may not make it back. Anyone with full coverage on insurance is easily welcomed to share in the driving as the ride is a good 11-14 hours)

X-nay on the camping. That stuff is as expensive as a hotel room (which we have gotten one 11 miles from the tourney) and without ac.

Money Info
(Miles)
894.73 x 2 = 1789.46 + 100 (misc) = 1889.46

Gallons
1889/22 = 85.63

Money for Gas
86 x $3.00 = $258

Hotel
47.76 x 4 = 191.04 (not sure on tax)

Total Group Money
191.04 + 258 = 449.04

Per Person (assuming we get 5)
449.04/5 = 89.81

So 90$-100$ per person is the rough estimate of getting there and back with boarding. This does not take a few things but is a decent start. I believe gas will be cheap as Arkansas is a trucker state and is normally cheap.

LOL… I’m sure you could buy a Kidney on E-Bay if you waited a couple days…

Anyway, I did the numbers on making a SERIOUS trip to Nats(it’s in Atlanta, right? I looked it up, but just the other day I heard somebody say it was in Charleston). I found it’s ~ 1600 miles, which puts MY gas calculations to around $160. Add in 3/4 nights at a shitty motel, and bread, lunchmeat, chips, and a couple 12-packs of coke, and it ends up being around $250-300. That’s 50-60 each, and not bad AT ALL…

So, I offer up my vehicle for anyone that has that much money to spend on the trip, if and ONLY if I can get a full 5 people to come(My seat and one other seat is already filled, including a rest stop in southeast Oklahoma ). Just e-mail() or PM me if anyone is interested. Thanks.

Failing that, you three could join us as we have room for 5-6 as all the luggage goes on top. Letta me know.

And if your going through se oklahoma, your taking the slow way.

Well, that’s diffrent. If you want we can meet there and all take off from there in my car. I don’t mind adding an hour onto the trip if it lessens the price tag.

Let me know what town and address to meet so I can figure out prices for a group of 6 from there.
