We expect the sense of euphoria to continue through the entire trip, with the highlights obviously being at the event itself. Thanks for all the organizing Sean, Mayur, and your mobile data provider!
Re you running the MPSC2 across country? Or did you install something else?

Just curious as I'm doing an 800 mile treck to Colorado in June.

Jealous of your road trip!

I ran well over 2,500 miles last year for the Smokies trip in the Cup 2's with no issues. I enjoyed the grip the whole time.

Embarrassed to say that I've been off this forum regularly for quite a while. I recently relocated to Asheville so have an appreciation for the great roads you'll be on. I was also in the group of GT car drivers some years ago that spent a day in North Georgia and the Smokies between events at Road Atlanta and VIR that was sort of a very scaled down precursor to this type of event. I remember evading a road block by the Tennessee state police that day and having a great time in the process. Be safe, have fun.

Hoping to avoid the roadblock for sure! We've had good luck in previous events. The goal is to have fun and still be welcomed back lol.

I drove from WI to Smokies event and back twice last year and the fall event had quite a bit of rain. Probably 4500 miles with only caution is to slow down in heavy rain particularly with any ponding on the road.

An amazing first day yesterday. Awesome conditions and many safe laps were run.

A great dinner band and party to end the eve. And now we go do it again.
