Itinerary:

PLEASE ADD YOURSELF TO THE WAITING LIST.
I will add drivers (and if requested, their spouse/partner/child/parent) as you sign-up. I will add passengers as I feel comfortable there are enough committed drivers. I will fill any remaining spots one week before the event to ensure there are enough vehicles in case any drivers decide to drop-out before the event. Waiting list preference for passengers will go to new members (5 or fewer events) first.
