Sweet. I'm assuming on South Street? I can't imagine there being more than one Burger King in that town...

I can lead where you have trouble David, but if I lead the entire gig, it wont be like the past. lol. Maybe for those enthusiast we can save the excitement for an up the mountain 211 run after the main cruise.

when the group gets big you get the rubberband effect...and no disrespect to the noobs, but when the front takes off, then we hit the brakes, the rear section is still moving pretty good, and if that is around a curve...noob sandwhiches will be served... they taste like CRAP TOO!

I can help you out where ever you need David. I owe you all my Nissan enthusiam...after the first skyline drive (3 years ago) I autoxed my G for 6-7 straight months every weekend or every other weekend. which lead to the LNRs, and now drifting at 70mph at Summit Point!

thanks man...here if you need me.

FYI I am driving up from the Richmond NASCAR race so I maynot be able to do Bob Evan before hand like in the past.

TO ALL.....I Highly recommend going to Bob Evans and eating a HEARTY breakfast (BEFORE THE MEET TIME)...after this cruise you will understand, you feel like you worked out all day... 15mph curve at 30 is REALLY hairy! you'll need your energy and some. I usually take fruit and some version of protein with me to hold me until lunch.

15 dollar entrance fee
30 yearly pass

if you plan to come back at least once, the season pass is they way you want to go, wonder when mine expires from last year, I think October...

I figure Saturday is for washing the car and Sunday is for cruising. Maybe the Fall 2009 cruise will be on a Saturday. Why is Saturday good?

Ahh the rubberband effect....you have just described most drivers in the DC area.

I agree with you this drive is great.
