There are plenty of stores/food/services on Grafton st to pick up a bite to eat/fill up on gas/etc.
Also - If possible bring a 2-way radio and tune to channel 17 to communicate with each other in case of a breakdown/gas station break/etc, etc. They can be found at most any electronics store in packages of 2, so split the cost with someone and you just both saved yourself some money. There is a Radioshack/Building 19/Brooks/CVS all on Grafton st, that all may carry these radio's but I'm not sure on pricing.
DISCLAIMER (got to throw this out there):
I AM NOT PROVOKING ANY TYPE OF STREET RACING / ILLEGAL ACTIVITIES, SO PLEASE, IF YOU THINK THIS IS ONE BIG RACE TAKE IT SOMEWHERE ELSE. Thank you
ALL CARS WELCOME
Please take the day off and join the fun.
Post this into any forum that you have no seen it on!! thanks!

Yeah, put me down for now. We'll probably be in town. I may end up riding with someone to take hanging-out-of-the-car-with-homemade-camera-rig pictures, though...

If all goes well, I should be able to make this trip. At least on a cruise, I can strap my lil girl in her car seat and just play follow the leader. Trip sounds fun, so Elesha and I will check the schedule and let you guys know.
