Actually it is the other way around, Detroit to Arlington. I hope to get in with a group going up there together and doing the long haul.

He means he's going from Texas up to Detroit before it starts and then back with the tour.

Would love to do the long haul but I doubt any of the people I'm going with will want to. I will be on the first three or four stops for sure (hopefully in a C5Z06 by then ), but after that I think everyone in my group will be headed back home.

Same here. All of us Texans need to get a group together for the trip to the starting point. It was a long lonely trip to Cocoa Beach last year.

How long of a drive is it up there I wonder? Time is going to be a bit of a problem for me, so my buddy and I are thinking of just tearing *** up there nonstop, resting for the rest of the day/night before it starts in detroit. Anyone else gonna try to make it up there with no overnight stops? If so we are probably down for a convoy.

My brother and I are going up also from D/FW to Detroit and back. I will be in my bolt-on 2003 Electron Blue z06 and he will be in his 2004 Torrid Red GTO. We will be down to travel in a convoy from here to Detroit if we can all get a group together

Google maps puts it at about 20 hours, I would plan at least one stop if I were you.

20 hours shouldn't be bad with two drivers in one trip. I've done many 1k+ mile trips, some where I was the only driver. Early registration opened today!

The dates are June 2nd thru June 9th, but it doesn't look like it'll be coming through Iowa in 2012.

The wife and I will be joining from the kick-off in Detroit and stick with it to the Champaign, IL Venue. We may continue on to the 4th Stop, but I don't think we'll be Long-Haulin' it this year.

I'm glad the first two stops are repeats of the last two from 2011. Those are the ones we missed last year.

Hey man, good to hear from you! I'll sen you a PM here in a bit...

I may look into this, but don't want to drive to Michigan, there are wolverines up there.

Where's Champaign at? How far from the border is it?

Will you be in the new (to you) formula next year? I'll talk with you in a PM, so I don't get a hijack.
