Only those who are trained to run marithons have the energy to continue. Out of 8 or 9 Skyline Drives....I have yet to make it past big Meadows. If I did, I would have to stay in a Hotel at the Southern end, wake up and drive back the next morning. The drive is that intense, even at speeds under 40mph!

I'm excited for this now...I'm buying a 95 240 this weekend(pending an inspection by Dave at FT) so it will be good to toss that around on this trip. You all will leave me on the straights though b/c it still has the stock KA in there but the JIC FLA2s, Cusco sway bars and GT SPEC body bracing will help me keep up. If anyone knows of anywhere to get 300ZX spindles/brakes at please PM me.

Default Are G37s allowed?

If so, my fiance and I will try to make it. We've been wanting to make the drive soon.

(FWIW I owned a '05 Z at one time )

Hmmmm, any way to take an off-road farther South to get off the Skyline Drive? I was planning on driving up north to meet you guys for the drive south, then continuing on until I could get off and back to I-64 around Waynesboro???

The guy that organizes this drives a G, so i'd think yal would be good to go. We had a vette and a WRX last time too.

Yes. That would be the Swift Run Gap entrance.

Yeah there are serveral ways to go man..hell you could drive to 81 then go down if you wanted to. Just spend some time on Google. maybe print out some routes, I will do my best to explain the best way back. I would drive back on the East side of the mountain to get to I64. You end up by the University down that way I believe.

Actually, my effin car has been on a leash. I haven't driven is since mason-dixon. I'm having dave install my clutch/flywheel this Saturday. I'll probably make it out for skyline.

What are these "parties" you speak of? I guess I'm out of the loop, because I really haven't heard of anything going on around here lately.
