The closer it gets, the more excited I am. I'll be there from Wednesday to Tuesday. Odd I know, but Memphis370 is staying a couple of days later. Figured I'd stick around too.

Topeco Lounge or whatever has some really good pizza btw. Had some last year and definitely getting some again this year.

I can hear the annoyance in my wife's voice as I go over plans for the 100th time. I'm pretty fricken excited. To the veterans is there wash points there for the Saturday show? How rough is it getting access?

Z1NONLY · 04-26-2016, 05:12 PM

Car wash is a faucet with a "Y" adapter and two hoses, just below the main hall where the dinners are held.

Same type of setup on the side of the general store, further down the hill.

RE the driving:

The advisory signs, particularly the sub-30MPH signs, are not kidding. Here in Florida, advisory signs are useless. A "40 mph curve" can be taken at 70-mph, in a mini van, in the rain, through an oil slick, with corded 8yo tires...and you will get bored. << Florida

The advisory speed signs up there actually have information you can use.

Last year, wife and I did the rally.

Had a blast.

On some of those roads we was on. We came across U-TURNS and SWITCH BACKS.

Alot of them.

PAY ATTENTION to the road signs. 'cause it's a two lane road. You have people coming at you. Nothing like being in the wrong lane on a switch back and you're looking at the driver coming at you with the same speed, and he is doing the same thing

I'm in the cabin just to the right of the wash rack, say hi! Although my cabin will have 2 black porsches (cayenne and 911 and a blue bmw M3 convertible in front this year)

Yeap, like what gear to be in for the curve.

You all going to have to forgive me if you get stuck behind until I find a place to pull out. I haven't had a chance to really drive and push the car yet and will be having a lot of first date jitters the first couple runs.

do NOT feel pressured from the people behind you until you feel safe to wave them through.

drive at a pace you are comfortable at and do not feel the urge to push yourself beyond your capabilities.

turn on your 4 ways and get off to the shoulder or wave them through and slow down to let them pass more quickly.

stay safe!

Hello fellow North Carolinian

Cant be worse than harley riders! I won't be pushing it hard either like previous years. I just moved from 350 to 370 a week ago and it feels very different! In a good way. We can both get in the way with my bottom of the barrel all season tires and 74k mile original clutch!

old guy · 04-27-2016, 04:18 PM

How many runs does one usually go on?
Are the speed limits enforced?
Sounds like groups all go at once?
And my biggest question ... Are you still going if RAIN is predicted?
