I was one of the NC Troopers you saw. I had a black Impala stopped on I-26 near MM3 against the inside median barrier.

Cars looked GREAT!

LOL Awesome! That was me in the red one! I believe you were walking back to your car from the Impala as we were approaching. If I knew you were a 370Z guy I'd have waved!

SscottFitz was driving the roadster and Hazzazi was in the Nismo.

BTW -- I had a great time, guys. Can't wait for next year. This weekend really reminded me why I got the Z... badass!

The drive back was a bit of a chore... VA State Police were out in force! In many instances they were doubled up at the "authorized vehicles only" crossovers.

Omar broke off from Steve and I after we got onto 81N from 26. I stuck with Steve for about 100 miles 'til he had to pull off to put the top up. Somewhere around MM 270 I was caught by four 350s from NY. One of them was "Z Medic." It was pretty cool -- they pulled up and I rolled down my window and the waived, kind of like, "ok, it's a 370 waving at us..." then I flashed my ZDayZ badge and they realized I was cruizing home too... rode with them for a couple miles 'til I let them take off into the distance. Nice day.

You're right! I was walking back to my car when you guys came through and distracted me!

If I had known you guys were coming through I would have stopped the whole crowd just to mess with you!

Sounds like a fun trip, wish we could have had the our PG out to run with you.

Haha... that'd have been pretty funny if you stopped us all!

That part of 26 you were on sure is a tempting place to speed! You guys do a pretty good job keeping your roads in good shape! Say -- how fast was that Impala going?

...especially the red one!!

If anything I'd get pulled over for driving too slow. "Speed up, dude! That's a sports car!"

Impala = 86 in a 60.

I'll admit, that portion of Interstate does make you want to speed. (It was 55MPH when they first opened it) But did you notice the dead deer on the shoulder down at the 9mm? That was the level portion just before you started up the first major grade.

We get some bad deer and bear wrecks up there. I'm not saying that's what set the speed limit, but man do we get some bad animal strikes. They called me for one on a Saturday morning near the 10mm, female bear and 3 cubs all killed! The interstate looked like a freakin' slaughter house for several hundred yards! Then there was the time the crotch-rocket and the deer collided..........

I can imagine the animal collisions would be bad! Especially with the amount of wilderness you guys have out there. VA mountains are nothing!

I was looking through some of the pics I was snapping as we were cruising down 26 and that Impala was in a few as he was passing us. I remember seeing him coming up quickly... I thought he was an unmarked cruiser until he made it by us... 86 in a 60 sounds just right!

white92 · 05-23-2010, 10:18 PM

I'm glad you guys had a safe trip. If you come back through again PM me. I'll either join in with our 370 if I'm off, or meet up with you guys if I'm working!

m4a1mustang · 05-24-2010, 08:53 AM

So, Omar, did you make it home?

I saw you catch up to me on 81 right as I was getting off on exit 109 for Radford. I don't know why I was ahead of you... guess you stopped for a bit!

Lolz, ya I'm fine thanks for asking I just had to stop for the restroom. But it was fun, I liked the drive back down and it was nice too meet everyone.

LOL I had to go really bad but to my surprise was able to hold it until I exited at 109. I cut it close, though.
