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.

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 :hello:

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!

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?

Spstone 04-27-2016 05:14 PM

I'll be there rain or shine. I plan on getting as many runs as Momma will tolerate.

I feel that I'm a more than adequate driver, but being unfamiliar with the car, and the fact that it will not have 3,500 miles on it I'm not pushing it. Pride and ego might get bumped a little bit when you have to pull over and let some one by, but it's a hell of lot cheaper than a wrecked car and medical bills. Plus 1 dude wrecking it because some one was impatient will certainly slow it down more then waiting for a safe place to let people pass.

I'll see you there Bobby, I'm still not sure if I'm going to roll up with the club I'm representing or alone yet, but hoping that due to the amount of Z volume I expect to be heading that way I'll find friends on the highway. Years ago I built and showed mini-trucks and half the fun of runs was the drive up and seeing every one else on the road.

Oh yeah, the speed limits are enforced. Be very careful or you will have a big fat ticket. Everyone goes at once. Harley riders, crotch rocket riders, Z's, GTR's, and anything in between. You'll get to see what the afternoon parade lap is like due to slow drivers.

old guy 04-27-2016 07:36 PM

I was reading some posts earlier in the year, that it's better to go early in the am to avoid a slow parade of cars. That has my name all over it!

I too was thinking l would probably end up seeing others on the road, on their way down. I'm starting to get a little geeked my self !!!

Spstone 04-27-2016 08:06 PM

I'm planning some day time runs to get a feel for it than sneaking out early in the AM for a little more spirited run.
