We are definitively getting a ranger visit. This is not good for rally business. :(

From what I've read online if you keep it incognito and don't attract attention to yourself you will be ok.

[borrihong]

If we got a ranger visit at Look Rock, odds are in favor of one happening where imbibement is actually frowned upon...

I'm in. I really hope to have my E30 ready to make this one.

HAH


hahahhahahahaha

Holy Shit Balls...


Just FYI that Wolf Pen Gap Road is like a crazy road. It has crazy switch backs and seems like it is only 1.5 cars wide. Can't believe it is that close. Dang... we going to get ourselves in some trouble hah






Also what do you guys think about heading down south to Alpharetta(My hood) and go run some real karts? They are inside. Do 35-40 MPH. I have coupons for it. Might be a good day trip for us on Friday. During the day no one really goes so we can get right in and roll out. I think it would be a good change of pace instead of just driving around. It's right down GA400. Prolly a 1hr 30 min ride down which would include a few twisty roads and a little highway fun.

The road is ridiculous... test drive of my M52 after ground controls...

Part 1 - Blood Mountain/US129
Part 2(Starts at 1:45) - 88/Wolf Pen Gap

Enjoy... there are some good roads they are just not as long as the roads we are used to.

Sounds like fun. Out of curiosity, what sort of cost are we talking about?

[E30auddie]

I've been wanting to make one of these. Hopefully I can make it to this one.
