My automap program says if you can drive at an average speed of 80 mph (and 
not stop, heh) it will take just under 16hrs. 1270 miles is about right. it 
can easily be done in 2 days. Figure 600 miles a day or so. We did it in 
about 23 hours total driving time I believe. (stops for fuel, eat, stretch, 
beat the kid, ect.) 

Figure in a bunch of stops (I have no idea as to what & where a stop could 
be planned, but, who knows. Maybe EC would like to get involved? PBTHH!!) 
and it could easily take 3-4 days, each way. Especially with a bunch of 
slow pokes following me.  :)

Hmm, maybe we could check a few speed shops (aka TUNERS) and see if they 
would be interested in participating somehow in a Scirocco Rally. 
(Scirocco's only so far, right? I dont recall any other makes yet. Of 
course, they're all welcome!) Who knows, this MAY become popular again, 
like it was in the 60's. <Shrug>

The only bad thing about going to Az is gonna be the heat. (once you get to 
Phoenix or Tucson) Anybody have an idea as to a better west coast 
start/finish points and also waypoints?
