Hope you can work it out to make the entire MR3 as well as the caravan to BG ... it will be a memorable week that's well worth the time. Keep us posted on your plans.

Thanks, Gunny.

One of my issues is the dreaded, random no-start. I'm taking steps to address that. One thought I had was, well, if I have problems with my ZR-1, what better place for it to happen than with a group of knowledgeable ZR-1 owners! :-)

Another issue is available vacation days off work, but I agree - the mountain runs and events in Bowling Green (especially the track day) would be a shame to miss.

Reminder ... in case you haven't seen/read this thread ...

Plans for Mountain Run 3 are 99.9% completed. We're looking at 3 fun days running some wonderful mountain roads with our Z's as well as with the Grand Sports. It's a great way to start off the BG Gathering later in the week.

Check out the other Mountain Run 3 thread (sticky above) for additional info.

Is it possible for a moderator to move this thread to a sticky just below the original MR3 thread? Thanks.

Update ....

Looks like the mountains are going to be warm & sunny this weekend so I'm leaving in a few hours for my MR3 "final pre-run" to fine tune the maps/directions/info, etc. If you're still on the fence about going, the trip is a terrific way to start off the BG Gathering.

CAN'T WAIT!!!! Just going to change diff fluid, air up the Nittos, and once again join in what (for me) was the true highlight of the Gathering! Combined with the BG events in the works, it's hard to imagine a better, more fun filled week of pure Z nirvana!!

UPDATE
I was blessed with one rain-free day last week and ran the complete Day 1 & Day 2 route in one day ... left my mountain house at 6 AM and got back just before 7 PM ... long day, but very rewarding. I double checked all the directions, check points, fuel stops, etc. and tweaked the routes in a couple of places. I'm nearly finished with the files that will be emailed to all participants. Check this thread for an announcement when the files are emailed and if you don't get an email, contact me ASAP.

Awesome, George.

Did you think to check your tires' tread depths before and after? :-)

I'm still trying to decide if I should do the trip on old tires or new.

It's "scary" fun with OLD tires; it's flat out "scary" with OLD tires if the roads are wet, which is a distinct possibility in the mountains during May.
If your tires are very old, hard, or slim on tread and you have a chance to run with newer rubber, I think you'll be a lot happier ... just sayin'

George, do we have a count on how many GS folks are joining us on the MR3?
