2006 Foliage run
What: Foliage run.
Where: Southern meet up Crowne Plaza exit 8 Nashua. Northern meet-up Gretch's compound*
When: September 30th ~11:00AM
Not going to make this one too complicated. We’re going to run through the White Mountains again. Weather is looking like an early season, hence the 30th, I’ve already seen trees turning up North.
For those of us south of the Arctic circle we'll meet at the Crown Plaza in Nashua. Take Exit 8 on Rte 3, you can't miss it. For the Eskimos who don't want to travel down to Nashua, meet at Gretch's compound*. We'll leave the Crowne Plaza around 12:30 and head North obeying all speed limits and traffic rules of course. We’ll go to Gretch’s compound to meet up with the Eskimos.
Once at Gretch's we'll organize, check fluids (both in the car and in the Stomach), then head out for a few miles of watching leaves and watching out for Smokey.
* For those that are planning on coming RSVP me at foliage_run@sidv.org I'll get you directions to the Gretch compound if you need it, and my cell phone for emergency contact on the day.

JUst had a thought to induce people to come. Inspiration came from this thread https://rennlist.com/forums/off-topic/297422-top-gear-fans-top-gear-ultimate-driving-experience-soundtrack-download-here.html
Daredevil and I have 53 Top Gear Episodes dating back to 11-2-2003 of varying quality, newest episodes being better quality. THese are the British versions, not the crappy Discovery channel versions.
So for all those attending the Foliage Run, if you bring a portable hard drive or a laptop with enough space (You'll need ~ 18 Gb) while we are all standing around Jaw-Jacking Daredevil and I can transfer the episodes to you. Me doing it at the southern gathering, and Daredevil doing it at the Norhtern Gathering.
Obviously no money can change hands for this, but donations of beverages will be greatly appreciated.
MORE POWER!
PS I just volunreered Daredevil for this, the surprise on his face when he reads this will be classic. Wish I could see it.

Just for an update.
We've got a few more attendees in the past few days. To include up to as many as 10 Pelicans.
As an estimate I would say we are closing in on 50 cars. This mainly due to the people here passing the word to others outside Rennlist. For that I thank everyone.
If we can get this kind of trunout will make it a yearly thing.
All the trees are looking mighty fine.

Great time was had by all. Lots of cars sowed up. Somewhere in the area of 30. There were a few counts taken, but some people moved in and out at different times.
Maybe someone can count when the pictures were up.
I'll do a longer write up later for everyone, and we'll host the pictures and video.
Short summary. We hit 110/115 coming out of the Hookset tolls, when 928GT thought he'd been passed, but he was in front. So he went burning hell for rubber to find the Southern gathering parade, when we were behind him. (the 944 that could couldn't overtake him).
The run up to the White mountains with everyone else was also spirited, hitting triple digits. Then we went into the mountains. First held up by a logging truck, then by peepers. But the worse was when we turned south when some sanctimonious minivan driver did his best to block the run, up to and including honking his horn at us.
He got his what for when Zeus, and a black 928 got in front of him and baked the tires engulfing him in tire smoke. The one thing I can say is that I’m sure we ruined his day 10 times more by just existing than he ruined ours. We couldn't go fast in the twisties, but the scenery was outstanding.
Thank you again for everyone that came out. Special Kudos to Gretch for letting us use his austere survival camp to meet up north.
