Default Fall Drive in NC 10/16

Ok, from what I've heard from most, 10/16 looks like the date. Anybody wanna go? Lots of twisties to be had for a tire and sway bar test fest. Directions to the start point to follow. This isn't limited to waterpumpers only, come on, enjoy the fun!

Ok that's another one and yes, rain would cancel this event, or at least reschedule it.

I'll be a maybe on the list, I might want to come up and beat up on the 924S as she will have 951 sway bars, I'd like to see if they make any difference in the lean monster that she is.....

Or the 951 likes a good running to.

It's still on! This is going to be a spirited drive through redneck land with lots of hills, trailers and woods for scenery. Roads with enough curves to have been laid out by a moonshine soaked engineer.

We'll depart from the Rural Hall Post Office at 9am, try to be there between 8:30 and 9. To get to the Rural Hall PO, take US 52 north past Winston Salem to the Rural Hall exit. At the top of the ramp, turn right. Go about 2 miles into Rural Hall. At the light, turn left. Cross the RR tracks and the Post Office is on the right. There is a small shopping center next to the Post Office, but their parking lots adjoin. We'll meet up there and leave out about 9. The drive will take about 3 1/2 hours and will cover about 110 miles of back roads in Stokes and Surry counties. The route includes sections of Hwys 66&89 and 268. Most of the rest is back roads, I'll have handouts with area maps and a route description for everyone. Hope to see y'all there!

Dave, The Spring drive was allot of fun but I won't be able to attend Saturday's due to a family gathering.

(I would recommend the drive to anyone in the area who has the time, Dave has picked out some very fun roads.)

Dave, Damn...the weather is looking SOOOO good for tomorrow, I may just try to make an extra effort to get up there.

Joe, let me know what time you're leaving. Maybe we can meet on I-85 on the way up there. If you have a cell # PM me.

Weather is looking good for Saturday! Make sure you have everything in the cabin bolted down or otherwise restrained. Lots of turns!
