Are there plans for a Skyline Drive cruise this spring?

I believe that was close to 200 cars!
This would be awesome. I have family and friends down there. My friends up in NJ were just talking about it last weekend, too. This would be a sick idea. Hope this gets moving while I'm not tied up at Chiropractic school.
We had well over 100 G/Z's last event, but the logistics of it became overwhelming towards the event and things degraded rapidly as we hit the gate. Part of the problem with a fall run is the enormous number of people who just stop every 15 feet to look at a deer 2093482039 feet off the road or a single orange leaf that is on a tree 20934390 feet away. Then these people complain to the police when you attempt to go around them or nudge them along.

If someone can get me the link I will cover the $250.
And I'm thinking March would be a good time. From a driving standpoint. Less tourist to get in the way. And we should still be able to see through the trees (no leaves yet) for the blind turns.

It rarely snow mid to the end of March. I have too much other stuff going on in the following months. Apr I'm going to the Import/Domestic Swap Meet Expo. Then to the Rotary Rally at Deal's gap. Ans of course ZDayZ in May.

Snow on Skyline Drive in March is not unusual at all. We usually had our Vette cruises in April or May. One time in May we actually had snow on the roads near the top......SCARY in a Vette!
you need a permit to drive on skyline w/ large groups of the same vehicles. The only way to organize the event in a legit fashion is if all attendees chip in $10-15 per car because the permit I believe costs $250/group (correct me if I'm wrong). Lots of paperwork involved. The last one we had (w/o paperwork) was a disaster because half the group was escorted out right after they paid w/o a refund.
Whoever wants to step up to the plate, feel free to organize something. You're more than likely going to have to be the one fronting $250 and have everyone pay you back later.

It is still a road. There is a stopping point every 200 feet. Stopping the car in the only lane of traffic and getting out of the car to point out a deer to the kids will be swiftly met with my horn to scare the deer away......and I will feel good about doing it too. I can tell you as a fact I never went more than 3mph over the limit.....then again that is probably why the police never so much as gave our little group a second look.
yeah our second group that didnt get kicked out had a pretty kick *** time, and we went down the 211 back side, hit some twistys was a good time
i would have been uber pissed had i driven 3 hours down there and got kicked out after 45 minutes with the first group
