Okay so there's a couple of us on this board that love the thrill of driving. So Stanton was nice enough to find us this info. Please check out the route details below. Who is down? I know I can count on a few heads....

1.) Lek
2.) Puria
3.) Devon
4.) Arjunz

I'd like to set this drive before the skyline drive meet. I'm thinking maybe the weekend before skyline drive? Either Saturday 12th or Sunday 13th. Who's interested?

****CAUTION**** Intermediate and advanced drivers only****

The entire route has been scouted by Wino_II and turnip8snatch in a highly modified vehicle (turbo, suspension, and brakes). Please be aware that the route taken during the entire trip is very difficult and requires serious attention under high speeds and cornering.

We took 5+ hours to drive the entire route. The actual meet may tke longer so schedule your day and gas stops accordingly. There are 3 stages to the meet and 2 points in which drivers can drop off the route if need be to head home in fear.

I'd be up for it. Not sure if I will be in town that Sat, and Sun is out for me. I'd prob also turn back at some point, as I'm not sure I can stay out that late...(need to head home in fear of other repurcussions)... worse comes to worse, Arjun and I can battle on Blue Mtn...

 

^^ c'mon vic....there's no turning back til the end....

 

Be safe guys. We don't want to read about you in the paper.

 

Hell yea I'm down!!

 

I believe that I maybe "down" as well (said with less enthusiasm than wnt1bd)...

 

I'm down as long as i'm home that weekend. i'll try my best to make it...

 

I went to QO back in the days. I hope the leader (Lek) knows where he's going. From those directions, it sounds more like a maze than a drive.

 

wow...count me in DEF....guys b4 this drive i think we should get together check out a few things.

#1. make sure you've had your oil changed...and its topped off
#2. check tire pressure...
#3. check brakes and pads for wear

i mightve missed some other precautions...other things id check just in case are like power steering fluid level, brake fluid level..coolant level...better safe than sorry i guess....

 

woo have fun~

 

I think this is the same route we went on when we got lost in MD and ended up in WV cuz you didn't write down all the directions

 

^^ hahaha yeah it is...

 

but i think it was you that didn't write down all the instructions.

 

alright im glad everyone is excited as I am. The drive will be great. Trust me.

 

yeah i'm excited, i need to get my rear tires on before we do this ... im runnin slicks on the rears right now...
