Here's my suggestion for a route: The U.S. is longer from east to west, then it is from north to east...so in that case, I say one team meets up around michigan, and the other meet up like in New Mexico, or Arizona, and we all meet up at some midpoint. This will also be easy for our friends in Canada...At this midpoint place, we can see if we can rent out like a dragway and have a day or two of competitions, and party nonstop...

^ Still not easy for me... Even going to Toronto is (according to google maps) a 21 hour drive by itself. then i would still have to meet up with everyone[:'(]

I think coast to coast is kinda too much driving.
the MTK's mid point idea is better I would think. shorter distance, Canadians can join too...drag strip. jeah!

Two things besides the above mentioned.
1. The summer of '06 has long been gone.
2. The name sounds pretty f**king stupid to me, sorry.

Good luck, we couldn't get more than three people at any other meet where many people had to drive less than two hours. Also, as everyone pointed out, if you're goping in one direction you're going to have to go back so your total cost would be $1,700.

Oh, and good luck finding a $40 hotel along any of the highways that cross the country. You're looking at about double that from my experience. (I've done this three times.)
