Twistys are not his thing but he joins us anyway

 

I named my SRT6 'Double Ugly' after the F-4 Phantom II after I took it to an autocross and realized, it likes straight lines and high speed sweepers much better than tight twisties.

 

I am leaving Apex NC early thursday morning, stopping at Cracker Barrell in Hickory for breakfast about 7.30am, anyone going my way want to convoy?

 

I'd love to meet you for breakfast Andrew but our paths don't look like they will cross LOL MapQuest Maps - Driving Directions - Map

See ya next Thursday though....
I hope to arrive at the lodge by 6pm so if you and the others can wait.. I'll join ya all for dinner at the Wildwood Grill say about 7pm
I have a few contacts that should already be at the lodge with Verizon mobile service which usually works.
I will call when I'm getting close to let you all know my ETA

Travel safely, Gary

 

A few extra pounds can do that.

 

And no G suit needed!

 

Weird, Mine loves the twisties.

Franc's Off Road Adventure....!


Right now it looks like 21 cars and 32 people


Our hosts may need a bigger deck!

 

What about parking space for 21 cars ?

BTW, the forecast is looking pretty good :

 

Parking won't be a problem
We have a whole big section of lawn to park on down the hill from the house

 

Correct. the "Chateau" is on the side of the mountain. virtually no parking there.
But, our host Jim, has about two flat acres of grass at the bottom,,, and a shuttle bus.

 

As reported on FB and elsewhere, it seems that we will be sharing the roads and Fontana Village with the Hyundai Genesis enthusiasts. I wonder how many of them will show up, but right now, the weather forecast looks good, so there should be lots of fleas on the Dragon's tail...

 

OK, I have to ask:

how many of those attending have pulled out the rotary or orbital buffer and blew a perfectly good Saturday?

Now: on to the interior!

 

Yes, I mean to inspire everyone I can....since the youngest car there will be at least 7 years old, let's make the "Gen-X" crew feel bad.

 

I will gladly park where directed for you to pursue this.. Probably hand you a beer or two also...

 

I though you would seeee that wrong, LOL i mean I like the 1/4 or 1/2 mile straight run you know what i mean .jim

 

Make it ......the Macallan, and you got a deal!

15 year minimum, though...bring your purse....

FRANC'S OFF ROAD ADVENTURE








As of now we are sporting 25 cars and about 35 people.


That's about 400 to 500 feet of non stop Crossfires on a mountain road.

 

They have 71 cars signed up, as of my last check with Gus and Bob - they are a good bunch and drive a car designed by the same man ours was designed by.

Keep in mind, they are ALWAYS there when we are - both in the spring and fall. I will be riding with one of them on their Saturday "midnight run" - which happens at 9pm (NO WAY will I drive like that, at night, on the Dragon!)

Here is Robert trying to keep up with Gus...
