Roll Call - Smokies Spring 2016 4/15 - 4/17
#181
Today we drove the first ~750 miles to get to the Smokies. As we sit in our hotel room we can actually see the mountains, but we are still a little way from the event simce we are making a vacation of it. 12 hours driving the GT3 with only a couple of breaks is pure pleasure. 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!
Just curious as I'm doing an 800 mile treck to Colorado in June.
Jealous of your road trip!

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.

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.
