Wow, sounds awesome--I really wish I could come to this one, but I'm driving to MO. Certainly a much less fun drive.

snuggles1 · 09-03-2009, 06:47 AM

Dudink · 09-04-2009, 05:53 AM

Sun. is the one day I can't make it this weekend

Bummer, I am sure everyone will have a good one - Bull sure knows how to put one of these events together. Hopefully you all won't have the suprise wet roads from nowhere that we experienced on the last run

Funny everyones talking about new front tires... must be that time.. I am due for new fronts real soon too...

85 Turbo · 09-04-2009, 11:34 AM

Nope, there will be a few more before it's time to put the machines away... Sorry you can't make it. I've scoped out a great route for us. Several new roads with a few new twists along the way. We should have a blast

serpent · 09-04-2009, 04:41 PM

Bull, would you mind pm'n me the route afterward so i can drive this during the week sometime.

bull30 · 09-05-2009, 04:37 AM

It's going to be a beautiful day tomorrow... There's been a lot of response... Should be a very nice turnout...

kmhepler · 09-05-2009, 07:00 AM

Alas my regrets just seeing this now, so much to cram into too little holiday for me. It is shaping up to be ideal weather--enjoy.

pazuzu · 09-06-2009, 05:45 PM

Thanks Bull and Gina for putting together a great run! Great weather and a fantastic series of twisty roads -a good burger -and some excellent cars to drive with while enjoying some beatiful scenery. I enjoyed meeting everyone -looking forward to the next one!
