Re: PRE BG MOUNTAIN RUN.
I was gonna use my Cobalt........but then I woke up and decided that in order to try and keep up with those guys I had better use my Z.

There's some pretty tight turns on the Dragon It's not a "horsepower track". The Cobalt might keep up better than you might think! Esp with a skilled pilot!!! D |

Re: PRE BG MOUNTAIN RUN.
Depending on how many participants show up we are going to break the one large group into two or three smaller groups.
Group 1: Driving Miss daisy. Group 2: Aggressive Group 3: 4 cents short of a nickel.

Re: PRE BG MOUNTAIN RUN.
Well I'll have the stock Ruby with hard Suummy's so I'm already driving miss daisy just 4 cents short of a nickel... I may try to grab some tires if I can work the logistics... Oh, my plates expired at the first of the year so I'll also be on a temp tag...

Re: PRE BG MOUNTAIN RUN.
Doug, how nice of you to acknowledge what few skills I have. Thank you! It still is a FWD car, and at it's limits it still behaves like a farm vehicle. LOL I did buy new tires for her though and they are rather good....wish Conti made stuff in our Z sizes.
Okay, so I guess we are going thru with this Robert? Cool, I'm so looking forward to doing this run. I told one of my C5 buddies about this deal and he started salivating....he asked me if he could tag along....and, well, I sorta of said "yes".....I know I have no standing to be inviting other people so if I made the big bone head move some one just tell me and I'll tell my C5 Brother 86 on the tag along, okay? Actually truth be told my C5 & 6 buds are somewhat envious of the C4 Gathering. They tell me the C5/C6 guys have no such thing at the NCM any longer???? I told them all to buy C4 ZR-1's and join the Brotherhood and have some fun! Ron, I'll keep you company in the "Bone Stock" class Brother! We can drive Miss Daisy and admire the scenery ..... but do see about some new rubber while you're in the pits! Nothing worse than trying to drive on rubber that has given up. Tom

Re: PRE BG MOUNTAIN RUN.
It won't matter what group your in, it all depends on the traffic in front of you on how fast you make the run. I prefer to run it as a single or two car run. If you get caught behind a bunch of sight seers you are screwed. Experience of the Blue Ridge talking. Them damn Yankees screw up the whole road system.

Re: PRE BG MOUNTAIN RUN.
Well my flight is booked and the hotel reservations are made.
US Air into ATL and will arrive 3:49 pm. Hopefully I can get the car left in the long-term parking. It's only a few hours drive North on I-75 to get to the first departure point. You know, the MS guy's are close to us on Tuesday stay. Might be worth a trip down to see their stuff?? Cheers,

Re: PRE BG MOUNTAIN RUN.
Anyone passing near ATL on Sunday? I'll be arriving at the Airport around 4 PM. My car will be in long term parking and I'd like to caravan if able.
Cheers,
