Crap, just remembered the All-Star race is that same day. Will have to leave early for some much needed tail-gating and adult beverage consumption. But I'm still in.

Ok everyone! Looking like at least 10 cars at this point. Please let me know if you are in. The day will start at about 8:00 with cars gathering and leaving from start point about 8:30. We will be meeting at a convenient place to get coffee and then running up to BlowingRock with around a 12:30 arrival at the latest. Route has been scoped a couple times and I hope you will find it mostly engaging. Lunch is pre-arranged and will cost $25/pp including starter, main meal, soft drinks, and tip. BTW - this is also art festial time up there so the rest of the day will be open to do as you will or join a crew to head out separately. We will be raffling off the two Bumperplugs.com gift certificates at lunch.

Bill,

Send me the info. I should be able to make it, although I will be driving the SL55, if that's OK.

The GT3 is at 3G Motorsports in Greensboro being adjusted before the FSR DE at VIR in 2 weeks.

Thanks.

Hey Matthew - is that still an option? I know you are only open the first weekend so if you can have the shop be the rally point again that would be awesome.

OK here is the list so far so please let me know if you are in or not for certain. Am sending the final numbers over to the restaurant as well so if you have a passenger let me know that as well.
Will be sending out directions in detail either today or tomorrow to all participants. Unless they come back and say it cannot happen GMP Motorsports will be our starting point!

Bill I hate to do it but I am gonna have to cancel. Was gonna tell you at the PCA meeting tonight but am gonna have to miss that too. Real busy here at MWR getting ready for the All-Star race and free time is short. I appologize as it seems that I have been backing out on a few drives lately. Hopefully things free up sometime soon.
