Default Smokies GT Spring in a month!

Yikes, just a month to go till the Smokies GT Spring 2018 gathering!

Our crew has been busy with sponsors and preparations that aim to make this year's event the best yet.

Our sponsorship pack can be sent to anyone who is interested. Bear in mind that PROCEEDS GO DIRECTLY TO THE CYSTIC FIBROSIS FOUNDATION (http://cff.org)

Our explorations have led us to find some new and amazing tarmac gems!

Andy has a great run planned Friday night heading back from the track. And then there's an optional 5 hour shakedown run Saturday 'before' the airstrip. Might want to skip that second cup of coffee at breakfast.

I'm in for the Saturday AM early run. Missed it last year, may have been alittle hung over! Still deciding what to bring down: GT3.2 vs .1 RS

That's because you were trying to go one for one with Sean at the bar.

Bring both!

Can't wait! The Saturday 4am run was the highlight of my weekend last time. Just a snake of tail lights and revs in the night.....

Right! Seeing the 918's taillights in the mist of the smoky mountains at 4AM was a sight we will never forget. :-)

The early run on Saturday I referenced above is not the insomnia run. Probably try to drop the clutch, foot off the brake for some, at 8AM.

I'm sure a hard core group could be put together for a night dragon run.
