Yeah, tried to do that last year and again this year but too many procrastinators.

I pre-register every year and waited as long as I could. Last year we all drove in as a group though and had a nice spot with plenty of shade.

Pics from last year! (below)
Everybody on time and ready to caravan to Mopar Nats.

Since the implosion of the VTCOA, there's no organized SRT-10 section at Mopar Nats this year.
I've been invited to join the VCA this year in the "Viper Pit", but I don't think I will attend during the day.

I've heard from a lot of SRT-10 owners that are doing the cruises though- Brice Rd. on Friday night and Heath on Saturday.
Hooters sounds like a good meet spot for Friday, but fair warning- it will be PACKED!
There's a Midas (Jiffy Lube?) on the East side of the main road in Heath, Hebron Rd. That was a GREAT place we found last year. It's in the middle of the cruise, with easy in and out and parking for about 10-15 vehicles.

I think we're gonna try to get to each cruise a little early, eat some din-din, then enthrall the tens of thousands of Mopar fans that line the streets each night!

PM me for a cell number.
