I won't have my GT for this year's run--next year!

can you guys tell me what roads you guys visit? I am planning on driving down in May to ATL (porsche drive experience) via the Smokies and would really like to enjoy the routes/scenery you guys go through. google has been helpful, but nothing beats RL advice

thanks.

On Amazon you can Uniden, Midland and Motorola. Some will quote a 30-50 mile range. In the Smokies you won't get anywhere near those numbers. I picked up a set of mid level Motorolas for around $50 and they worked about as well as anything else.

Can you PM me after the event? We keep the routes a bit confidential for the event, last year there were way more blue lights than the previous two years

My guess, you won't be thinking much about the seat.

I think the group text is telling us to check the Smokies GT Forum. They have all the forms and info posted there.
