After this one has run, yes lets plan another gathering.
If you want fast roads, I have just the place!!!!! Fast, Twisty and what a great back drop (Mountains and trees as far as the eye can see)
Its called the Cangamangus Highway.... its near Conway, NH.
I was born in England and traveled all around Europe...... the Cangamangus Highway reminds me of the Swiss Alps or Cortina in Italy.
A very fast but challenging road with tight winding hairpins and sweeping corners that take you up one side of the mountain and brings you down the other.
Its a good test of brakes, cornering ability and definitely your nerve!!!!!
If you folks want to make a date of it...... I will be all over that and more than willing to help coordinate.
Maybe we can discuss the next run at tomorrow's gathering...... which by the way I have planned to include a few fast little local favorite roads.
Hope to see every one there.
Thanks,
Paul

Paul:
Were working on it. I've kind of been named the Rennlist event cordinator. Were just waiting for John D to get 5 minutes to figure out what he wants me to do (I assume I haven't heard from in awhile
) So the Cankermungus might be great for that Foliage run. Also trying to do another one earlier. Will keep everyone posted.
Chris. Perfect time for a long trip. Come on out and we'll show you how the other half live.

The cops do occasionally go up there but very very rarely........I have seen them once in the last 5 years.
There is nothing up there once you get out of the little town. In fact I think the sign says 'NO GAS FOR 26 MILES' more like "no one, no people and no thing for 26 miles"
**** Except for lots of FAST TWISTIES****
The way I have done it in the past is...... take a kind of slow test run, to feel out the road conditions and see if any narks (Narks=English for cops) are hiding out.
Then I turn around and go like $hit..... hit over a 100 for many miles in my 968.
There are also a lot of nice open straights that you can see for a 1/2 mile to a mile......so you can see if any cars are around.
I think the thing to do would be........ take turns to be a look out scout. I assume most of us these days have a cell phone!!!!! The one who is the scout can go ahead of the pack for a few miles and call back if he spots trouble.
My friend has done this for me a few times and it seems to work.
If we went up there I think I might be tempted to bring my Euro 320hp 911..... I just bought it and it needs to stretch its legs a little. But the 951 would be more fun in the corners for sure.
We should defiantly try to get John D. involved....... he lives only a mile away from me, so he is familiar with this area and I am sure the Kangamangus Highway.
I shot him an email about the gathering tomorrow but I got no reply....... he gets so many emails a day I am not surprised.
Sid you should give him a buz as well...... if we both get on his case he may lend a hand.
See you tomorrow at 11. @ Bobs Clam Hut.
Thanks,
Paul

Hey anyone got a Mahle filter they are willing to sell? Bring it by the meet and I'll buy it. Need a change but can't find them locally.
