Since I cannot make any of the overnight events for MTTS '08, I'm thinking my best shot at "participating" is to convoy/escort a bit with Rauno as he passes through my area during his Rally from Miami to Boston. While I'm aware his overnight stops have been published on the MINI site, does anyone know of the actual route he is going to use along the way? I'm particularly interested in knowing the roads he'll be using on the Virginia Beach to Philly leg on Wed. June 18th.

 

. . . bumpin' for a clue.

 

Call me 321-284-4772

 

Thanks Eddie!

For those interested - looks like the Wednesday route departs at 10:30 and basically runs the Chesapeake Bay Bridge/Tunnel north out of Va. Beach and follows Route 13 up through Salisbury, MD and up to Dover, Del. where they pick up Route 1 and continue to just south of Wilmington where they'll merge onto I-95 North for the final leg on into Philly.

Now, if I can just figure out how to blow off this pesky JOB tomorrow!

 

IF . . . there's any interest, - I've now got the (apparently TOP SECRET ) daily route guides for the rest of Rauno's run on up to Boston.

 

Eddie did you give away the TOP SECRET route?

You didn't tell them about the secret head light flash did you?
Or the secret sub-channels...

 

Does anyone have the RouteGuide thru Connecticut fro Friday Mahwah to Boston, MA ? As I can not take part in the Boston Events, I would love to tag along when they come thru CT.

THANKS a Million!
