I know there are a few of us with Star Wars related cars, just wanted to know who all will be there. I would like to arrange a photo op for us.
Other sci-fi related cars can come along too.

I thought with "Force" you meant Fireball Tim.

Red 5 I has a Star Wars themed car. I don't know if he is going to MOTD though.

Mine wasn't intentionally Star Wars themed, but when I posted a photoshop of my planned PW/PW with PW painted arches, DickDavid mentioned that it looked very 'stormtrooper'. That idea stuck with me, so his name is Jango, after the 'father' of all stormtroopers!

I have often noticed the Stars Wars usernames and wondered how we could get all of you together!

So now we need to coordinate a time and place for all of us to meet. I will be arriving Friday afternoon and am staying in Robinsville.
What about the others?

Sorry guys, this member of the Dark Side won't be there.

I planned on going, then realized that I was already scheduled to photograph a friends wedding that same weekend. I'm pretty bummed about not being able to make it, and this little "sideshow" would have been a cool gathering, but I can't let the happy couple down!

I think that you are on my scenic drive on Saturday morning... That would be an easy place to shoot a pic, I think...

Here's Jango:

There was a JB/JB with silver stripes on the side like mine that went by the name of Vader something or other... Havn't seen him on the forums since like last year tho.

Googled and found:

I'm going to be hanging out from 9:30 ish to 11am on Saturday, at the base of the dam (launching groups of cars on the scenic drive). How about 9:30am on Saturday morning at the dam? This should give everyone time to get to the autocross, meet with their drive groups, etc.

9:30am? You're killing me. I guess I can be there. Since it was me who brought it up in the first place.
DC has his graphics on now. Can't wait to show them off!
