FEELER: Cruise on August 11th or 12th - route inside
 
***DATE IS CONFIRMED - 11 August, meeting up at 10AM!***

I'm not organizing this, but I'd be the liason with the Z guys. A group of my friends want to go for a fun cruise on the 11th or 12th - specific date unknown. Post up if you're interested here, room for as many as we'd like.

https://maps.google.com/maps?saddr=E...sz=13&t=m&z=12

*UPDATE 8/8/12*
I looked at the map, and there arent many great meet-up locations near here. I feel our best bet is to just meet up at the normal FFX Z's and Coffee location at 10AM (https://maps.google.com/maps?q=12599...22033&t=m&z=17), and we will drive the ~10 miles or so to get to the start of the cruise. This will give us time to group up and get a feel for each others driving before going straight to reckless.

CONFIRMED:
MightyBobo
BladesofChaos

TENTATIVE:
Cwis
Coon-Azz
Steve-o

RandyD 07-30-2012 02:00 PM

these are some great roads... (looks like one of my cruises)

i'm actually out of town - but back for the 18th if that's a possibility...

Coon-azz 07-30-2012 02:29 PM

I might be interested, but Not sure what the schedule has for those date yet. I'm tentative... :tup:

MyKindaGuise 07-30-2012 02:32 PM

interesting...will be keeping an eye on this.

m4a1mustang 07-30-2012 02:39 PM

Might be up for it.

RonRizz 07-30-2012 02:39 PM

I'll be watching this as well.. sounds interesting.
On a side note, bobo, I notice in your sig you are from Ft Meade. I was born there, and lived there for almost 12 years!! (army brat). I actually visited last year to see the old homestead.
Just a sunday drive for something to do.

Randy - they made the route based off of your routes, so thanks for that heh.

Well, he can't really attend any cruises until he BUYS TIRES. Just sayin'... :stirthepot:

Just talk to Shahid's cousin - he was running 4 different tires last cruise....

birdmanx1 07-31-2012 09:20 AM

I would have made Rob but I got a DR exercise on the 11th & out to NJ on the 12th for some mods. Have a blast man and make sure Shahid's cousin and Dee are way out of your way :icon17:

MightyBobo 07-31-2012 12:34 PM

This is quickly shaping up to be on Saturday the 11th, starting at 10AM. We'll start and stop around noon for lunch, and then continue the cruise.

Randy: any recommendations for locations to stop for lunch?

StangerGT 07-31-2012 12:41 PM

Hey all, The event in question was devised by a friend of mine. I can help answer some questions. I think I met some of you at the UFC fight a few weeks back.

Anyway, if anyone knows a good place to eat/meet at out in that area we are game. I have about 6 (including me) that are not on this forum that should be going. Various cars.

Yeah he was. I made his azz get new matching tires after he almost rear ended me. Now he's good to go :tup:

Yeah I'll try if I don't have anything else planned, which I shouldn't. Some weird company that I've never heard of. I think they were called Nexen or something? They're summer tires and they seem to be ok from when I drove them. Didn't push it that hard, but he says he hasn't had any issues. Much better than his previous set up.

I'll take 4 matching shitty tires over 4 mismatching good tires anyway, likely...lol

b1adesofcha0s 07-31-2012 02:30 PM

My rears are gonna be done after my hyperdrive on the 18th. I'll probably have to order another set of rears afterwards to get myself through late summer/early fall.

there is a pretty good sandwich/pizza shop named Joes in Marshall. right after you finish the State Road segment - go in to Marshall and a couple blocks in to the right is the shop... usually plenty of parking and the food is pretty good.

b1adesofcha0s 07-31-2012 02:31 PM

Also, I'll be fasting so I might skip lunch.

RandyD 07-31-2012 02:32 PM

this is a really nice route. too bad i'm gonna miss it. :(

Well if this ends up working out, we could make it some kinda event :tup:

RandyD 07-31-2012 02:47 PM

i'm setting up a similar one for September...
i personally run these roads all the time - and a pretty full cruise at least once a month :)

if anyone wants to join i could easily be a regular.

well, since I now have a suspension that allows my mustang to turn, im game lolz

XwChriswX 07-31-2012 04:18 PM

I need better rears as the V12's suck in curves, but I should be able to make this, provided BoBo's garage is open sometime prior for an oil change. :stirthepot:

Bump for solid date/time up top.

...good point. Asking him right now.

RandyD 08-03-2012 03:34 PM

the map shows at the end of Lime Kiln..
there is a pull off area there but not at all a parking area...

MightyBobo 08-04-2012 11:06 AM

Guy didnt respond to me yesterday, will have to email another guy to find out.

MightyBobo 08-08-2012 08:35 AM

*UPDATE*
Meet location is the FFX Z's and Coffee location at 10AM!

https://maps.google.com/maps?q=12599...22033&t=m&z=17

As posted above, there are few optimal locations to meet up near the cruise starting point, and this looks to be the best bet.

Sounds good. Are we planning to meet up at 10AM or leave by then?

XwChriswX 08-10-2012 12:48 AM

Still in the air on this... Dunno if I should with the shitty V12's. Yes, I know someone did it with 4 mismatched, but I want to push and the V12's won't follow. I'm tired of having to hold back.

Hmmm... But I do wanna hang out with the br0s. (Except blades, fuckin hate that guy!)


:bowrofl: :tup:

You'll still be pushing. You'll be pushing the limits of the V12's is all. Traction control on, suckah.

b1adesofcha0s 08-10-2012 11:53 AM

Dude I've done all the cruises with all season tires with no issues that one time doesn't count. You'll be fine with the V12's. We don't actually push our cars hard enough to reach anywhere near the limits of the tires.
