[200kss]

I haven't made a driver's meeting in years. Maybe 2005?

[59brook]

i'll do the first and last probably

[Bucky67]

I doubt that I'll hit any driver's meeting. In fact, I have yet to hit my first....... LOL

Because drivers meetings usually mean guarenteed traffic jam to start your day I avoid them, but I do like to hit them on occasion.

The only driver's meeting I made was at Cocoa Beach at the Kennedy Space Center since it was part of tour that day and now that I think about it the only one we probably paid for the priviledge to go to other than registration.......

Think of it as a freshly stocked lake!

LOTS of opportunity

I skip and leave the hotel at about the time the meeting is suppose to be over.

My wife and I will probably go to at least the 1st one. I've gone to them in the past. It's helpful for route heads-ups if something is amiss and some think you have a better chance of getting your car photographed while driving by HR staff.

I hit about half of them usually. It looks like this year they are giving away a door prize each day also.

I go to the meetings it's a great way to meet people that you may not other wise.

We make more then we miss. It is a good time to get to meet others and see the cars. I don't think you have any better chance of getting your car in the magazine. But they are a different part of the Tour. And the traffic is part of the Tour. We will miss two this year due to wanting to get to the next venue early. And you will find the largest turn out on the first day, so at least make one or two and decide for yourself if this is what you want to do. Some of the venues are somewhat close this year and you will have plenty of time to go to the drivers meetings..

[Big Dave]

I try to make them and will be at 1st one for sure the others depend on how many beers I drink the night before and how late I get to bed......

[okie300c]

well then I will probably see most of you at least the first day and try to get in line with you guys

Like Rett said

Personally I like going to drivers meeting to get the full experience of the Tour. It's more intimate, calm and quiet. You get some extra time listening to the staff including Pitt and Freiburger. In the two years I've done the tour I can't say I even remember detrimental traffic. Leaving the lot/line after the meeting is kind of fun too because of the caravan. The line of cars loosens up fairly quick but the group is near each other and most at the meeting take the prescribed route.

There are plenty of good reason to miss the meetings too but normally they don't outweigh the positives. For me.
