Conveyors,

Just received word that the Nismo Fiesta "Twisted Sisters" cruise will depart the from the hotel at 10:30a sharp.

So the question I have is; Do we want to condo up Friday 13th the day before and spend the night in SA? Or depart from Sam's Club at 6:00am, arrive at the hotel and than continue with the cruise.

Personally, I'm tossed up on arriving Firday or skipping the "Twisted Sisters" cruise. I rather not leave early Saturday morning.

Please let me know what your thoughts are. THANKS!!!

Rober_K, ZCoH

Robert,

We'll probably bring about a dozen or so cars in our group so you and I should probably stay in communication on this. PM me please so we can exchange contact information besides here on the forum.

IMO if anyone's never done the Twisted Sisters its not to be missed. However everyone may not agree, especially the guys that are supa dumpt and wouldn't take their cars on back roads anyway. Then there's the issue of getting up really early and driving 3 hours to SA before a cruise that will be several more hours of intense driving. It's a lot for one day. I have the luxury if free accommodations because my folks live there. But our more frugal members will probably not want to pay for an extra hotel night or may not be able to get off on Friday at all depending on their work.

I'll put it up for debate on our forum and let you know what the consensus is.

I definitely think so. If we leave Saturday morning though it will be at least 10+ total hours of seat time for the day including trip to SA, driving to cruise area, cruise, and coming back to SA. I think it's worth it. But then again I have a free place to sleep the entire weekend if I want it.

Yeah I'm not for all that driving. My suggestion would be to leave Friday around 3 or 4pm. That get everyone into SA around 6 or 7. Thoughts everyone?
