GA Mountain Run: May 1st After Caffeine and Octane
 

OKay figured i'd start a new thread on this.

Mountain Run.
Sunday May 1st.
Right after Caffeine and Octane.

Caffeine and Octane is at:

7730 North Point Parkway
Alpharetta, GA 30022

If you dont get there before 8, you will have to fight for parking. By 7, the lot is already quite busy.

I personally try to get there 7 ish.

Mountain Run: We will leave C&O at 9. We can all plan to fuel up at exit 14 or 15 at around 9:30 (if anyone wants to meet here instead of going to C&O).

I'll try and get an exact address for a good gas station around these exits.

Things to Note:

1. We want every to be safe and dont push yourself if your not comfortable.
2. Leave VDC on yo!
3. If people have 2-way radio's please bring them
4. We try to stick together, stop every so often for everyone to group up again.
5. Never pass in oncoming lanes.
6. Be respectful of other people using the roads.
7. Peeing out the windows and onto the Z/G behind you is frowned upon.
8. Be wary of road conditions. (Leaves/water/loose gravel = slippery ****)
9. I just wanted nine points.

I'm in as of now.:hello:

will be good to see you frank and that car after sooo long man.

Yeah me too,but my car looks like crap without my wheels.:shakes head:

In the next couple of weeks I'm going to Z1 to do my uprev:tup:

Nice. I still need to get mine done eventually!

Its a 4 hour drive for me and I lose an hour cause of the time change but I'm going to try and make it! At exit 14 or 15 is there a Shell gas station? If I make it I have a 2 way radio! Also like to point out that number 7 is just frowned upon but thats not saying forbidden!

Crap, I'll be in NYC getting in the last days of the Auto Show! :shakes head:

yup im going to try and find a shell/chevron (my preference :p)

Yeah man i hear ya on the drive. its always nice to see someone have that enthusiasm. You really should try to wake up the Bama guys and get things going there too. Im sure you'd love an event where it only took you 30 minutes to get there :p

We dont have any Bama guys lol, I see few 350z now that its spring and only one 370z roadster. And I have not seen a 350 or 370 owner that will wave back or even look at me. They are all old and rich people. Thats what I hate about alabama that the people are either honda ricers, muscle car heads, people that baby their corvette's, or stuck up rich people that wont even say Hi if you tell them nice car. Lol it seems like all the car people around North Alabama hate my car.

In for next Sunday after C and O at 9am.

ill try depending on my hangover.

Definitely down for this. Doesn't look like too many G guys will be coming from the looks of things. I'll be buying a pair of walkie talkies this week.

I'll try to hit the next one. I went yesterday and had some good fun. It's nice to smell your brakes heating up. Good thing it was 58 degree.

I couldn't believe all the bicyclist up there. Barely any cars though. But they where all easy to pass. I had just swapped my sways to full stiff also. I love that setup the most. I also did some testing with VDC on and off. I'll tell you first hand that I always turn VDC off as soon as I crank my car. No comments please. But with VDC on it creates some nasty understeer for myself. I believe with the LSD I have and VDC on creates this the behavior. But with it off it was smooth sailing after that. The car handle wonderfully. It was the perfect amount of oversteer with the way I have "my car setup". Can't wait to go back.

Also with my big oil cooler it worked perfect. Never got to 215. But it's not hot yet.

What kind of pace are we going through the mountains? I'm not down for going full blast down straightaways.

Most groups will have the faster guys in the front and then another to follow up the rear. There are plenty of spots to pull over for everyone to catch up and also take pics. Plus there's some sections that are double laned.

I really want to go now. But I have a meeting Sunday from 7 to 10.

yeah we go somewhat fast but not ridiculous. I went up some of the roads today on my way to VA. I dont think i went above 80 in any one place even when there was a long straight road, just wasnt a need for it. There are definitely some tight turns and stuff but everyone is encouraged to go at their best, not try to follow.

Gotch'a. I've been on two runs myself, and usually just kept the straightaways at a decent speed and take the corners however comfortable.

I just wasn't sure if I was getting caught in a wind storm with this one or not was my concern.

Looks like I might have to pull out of this one. Too much school work to do for/by next week.

Dang I want to go. I've been up there a bunch of times with a number of 2 and 4 wheeled vehicles. I drive slo tho :)

Too bad I'm going on a 40-60 mile road bike ride. If it cancels I might tag along with yall though.

Theres a Chevron station at the very very top of 400/19 called Petro Fast Food Store at the route 60 and 400 crossing which is normally a very good meeting point. Its about 20~30 miles north of C&O and very close the the good roadways if you want to consider.

5461 South Chestatee
Dahlonega, GA 30533-6173

Best place to eat is at T.W.O. (Two Wheels Only). You'll have to park on the street but they got the best burgers w/i 50 miles.

I'm game for the mountain run. That is depending on how many beers I drink tomorrow night. I need a warm up run before ZdayZ.

I cant make it the clutch is out in my Z. Shop cant look at it till Monday.

ouch, what exactly is it doing?

:driving: Hope you guys have fun.

Alright guys tomorrow is the day

Leaving C&O at 9:00.

Going to go to a chevron gas station on ga 400. Leaving there at 9:30

Address for gas station is:

Lakeland Plaza Chevron
502 Lakeland Plz, Cumming, GA 30040-2730

Dont forget to check your fluids, oil, tire pressure!

Again if you have 2 way radio's please bring them.

Be careful of debris that might of been left behind.

dammit. cant go. got work tomorrow.

Maybe-maybe.....

I was gonna go,but realized the mirror glass for my sides are stilll at the body shop.

you dont need those Mike!

See you all in few hrs. Got a hd hero go pro to try out for the run.

Great time so far. Roads are clean and no police. :). Stopped for lunch at Turners Corner.

Wish I could have came along!

yeah we went back upt he road after lunch and there were a whole buncha cops. Decided with cops everyone best to head on home.

Btw thanks to everyone who came out! was a good time! The weather was great, the roads were relatively clear of slow drivers. Debree was minimal.

Although there was this one area where it looked like god took a huge weedwhacker to the trees.

No cars were lost! no people were lost! good times.

Yeah I had a good time too,nice to see some new faces that I never met before,also very nice to drive my car after 6 months on stands in my garage:shakes head:

It would be cool to do this once a month,but lets try not to stop at the place we ate,food was good it just took to long.

Hi guys! I was the dude shotgun in the Forged Performance 370Z....wanted to make sure everyone saw this thread.....

http://www.the370z.com/members-370z-...ml#post1083069

Good to meet everyone today!

Hope to get to go next time. I need to do some more testing on my LSD. It likes to heat up after long hard runs. Might need to take extra measures.

When did this become a Forged Performance Mtn Cruise!!?

Ha! It wasnt, but Forged Performance provided coverage :tup:

partial coverage! wheres my rolling shot!!

And i gotta roll by fast. People wont spot my base 18" wheels
