We need to roll out of my house no later than 5 AM Wednesday to miss Atlanta and Chattanooga morning rush hour. Not sure what to expect in Knoxville, I built in some time there at our gas & go. Please realize that the further North in the route we go, the more I am guessing. I know Knoxville is 3.5 hours baring traffic delays. Help from local guys beyond that is appreciated.
Florida guys you know you are welcome to roll in late Tuesday night and grab a few hours of sleep before we hit the road. There is room to spare at Mr Happy's House 
Leaving at 5 am on Wednesday puts us in the following metropolitan areas at these approximate times:
Chattanooga, TN - 7 am (130 miles)
Knoxville, TN - 8:30 am (110 miles) Our first scheduled stop to fuel up (240ish miles) and a good meeting point. Looking for a quick and easy breakfast location as well. Plan to be back on the road by 9:30 am.
Lexington, KY - 12 pm (160 miles)
Cincinnati, OH - 1:15 pm (80 miles) Second scheduled stop for fuel (240ish miles) and a quick lunch. Another good meeting point. Back on the road by 2 pm
Columbus, OH - 3:30 pm (110 miles)
Independence, OH - 5:30 pm (140 miles)
Google says 725 miles over 10.75 hours. Adding in two breaks for gas and food should put us at the convention hotel in time for dinner.
bumping this up to try to "take the reigns" here.
I have spoken with Joe for those of you who do not know,Joe the Joemaican (Happynole) will not be attending the convention this year much to my dismay and alot of others.He will be missed for sure but has some priorities to take care of.We all owe alot to Joe for helping revive the sr20 convention over the past few years.He does alot of work to make these things great!
That being said,he has asked for me to help continue to plan this caravan if anyone is still interested.
I will continue to keep this thread updated as we get closer and we are gonna try to stick to the original plan as much as possible.
