What to Bring

My phone number in your phone. I will send this out in a mass e-mail before the meet.

Rules and Disclaimers Since there are more people going than there were last year, this section has become necessary. Consider this the "fine print." This will probably not apply to anyone, but I'm including it to cover my ass.
We are adults, so at the meet, act like an adult. This wasn't a problem last year, but I feel that it is worth mentioning. Do not pick a fight with someone, do not pull a stupid stunt that gets you and/or someone else in trouble, etc. Use some sense and it will be an awesome meet.
The CruzeTalk staff reserves the right to remove you from the list. Since we will likely have a limited number of slots due to tour size limitations (we split up the group in two last time even), do not be that guy who shows up uninvited. If you are banned from CruzeTalk, you aren't getting a slot. If were banned or received an infraction in the last 3 months, you may not be given a slot. I don't expect this to be a problem, but it is worth mentioning nonetheless.
When we travel from the hotel to the plant and anywhere else we go as a group, please don't be "that guy" who gets himself lost by going the wrong way. Do not try to race on the highway, do not get "out of formation" unless you are a designated photographer. I'm not trying to be a hard ass here, but with a group of 40 cars, it will all be a lot easier if we all stick together, and the pictures and videos will turn out a lot better if we all stick to the same formation. While traveling, we will have our hazard lights on so we know where we are. We will designate one driver up front and one driver in the back, who will be communicating to make sure we have everyone together.
Slots are first come, first serve. You will be required to respond to roll calls in a timely fashion to keep your slot. Due to the high interest in this meet, we will most likely not have any reserve slots available.
I believe there is a good size group of us staying at the Motel 6 in Youngstown. I'm staying there and know of at least 3-4 others staying there as well.
Been checking Saturdays weather forecast. Has gone from bad to worse. Was 60%, now at 90% chance of rain. If it does not drastically improve - it is likely I won't be attending.
I just sent out email invites to every attendee for the Slack app, with the email address you used to register for CruzeTalk. Please let me know if you haven't received an invitation. It's a communication/chat app to download on your phone. The mod team tested it and it seems to work best for what we need. Please accept the invitation and download the app so that you can be included on up to date information. We'll use it to check on if we lost anyone in the drive, post any schedule changes, etc.
Feel free to chat on there in the coming days, but I wanted to give everyone a chance to download it at home while still on wifi.
You can access Slack on your computer as well. lordstown2016.slack.com
So Andrei or Jon, have you guys heard anything from the powers-that-be at the plant on what their plans are in case of rain Saturday as far as the car show goes? Is it a rain or shine event?
Yeah weather is soo random this week. Experienced rain, snow, hail, and hot sunny in the past 3 days. Bring warm clothes and hopefully won't need it. Way better to pack too much than not enough.
Saturday weather forecast keeps improving! Only 20% chance of rain now!!
So, for the Thank You cards we discussed a few pages ago, just the Ice House Inn & Lordstown PD? Or should I get one for the assembly plant to thank them for the invite also?
Unfortunately I have to drop out last minute. Family health situation arose which is keeping me from being there. Hope everyone has a great time and safe travels!
