Geez, now I'm really feeling bad for missing this thing with Steve (z2thdr)coming all the way from Toronto, not to mention a lot of old friends I haven't seen in a while. Unfortunately I can't make this as I have an annual Cystic Fibrosis "walk" I always attend on Sunday. In any event have a great time and don't worry about the weather!

By the way I believe that Chris Davis/Notlownf may show up at Stratton Mountain. For anyone that has plans to sell a G35 Coupe, he's back in the market (he sold his G35 for a Supra and has since sold that) so keep that in mind.

Finally, not to rain on the parade (poor choice of words...), I think someone might have messed up the numbers as it goes from 36 to 54.

 

whats up roger, hows it going, hope all is well with your new venture man

also cant wait till the next cape meet...


anyways back to the point, ill be there sunday with whoever shows up at the northshore meeting point =0)

as for the weather, 30% is pretty much a safety net for them to fall back on if it rains lol, then they can say they told ya so.
i ALWAYS for years have used weather.com and paid close attention to their forecast, 30% usually turns into a few minutes of sunshowers.

 

agreeed i use same site, see u sunday morning nick at the car wash

 

Anyone staying overnight (Sat.) near Springfield? Also, anyone going to the event from Syracuse/Albany areas? Maybe we can meet en route.

 

im 70% going, its alot of rain up to and possibly the day of the event....

 

it rained last time a bit mid way thru, and it wasnt a prob, little rain hurt no one =0) right

 

Nope. And I was discussing with Speedracer that the showers they are talking about are just left over random spots from the storms coming thru Friday and Sat. Stay tuned for an Official Go or NO GO at some point Friday night.

 

well i skipped last year due to rain and everyone enjoyed it anyways so im very likely still going to go.

WE ARE OFFICIALLY GO FOR NORTHEAST MOUNTAIN RUN III!

We leave 8 am prompt from the Basketball Hall of Fame (see original post for details). Be there at 7:30 or so to get route directions etc.

Forecast calls for 65-70*, few showers (30% chance). Last year we had a 50% chance and only had about five minutes of rain. The system going through most of our areas now into Saturday will be way up in Maine and Nova Scotia come Sunday. Looking at the radar, the US east of the Mississippi will be clear. I am willing to bet the forecast is changed to mostly sunny, 70* by Saturday night.

Bring walkie talkies/2 way radios if you have them (ie, Motorola TalkAbout). The more people we have in communication, the better.

As stated earlier, run directions will NOT be released until the day of the event, when you get there. We are sticking firm to this for several reasons. I will also be bringing a few copies of actual mapquest pictures of the route.

WE ARE OFFICIALLY GO FOR NORTHEAST MOUNTAIN RUN III!

 

Hey everyone... This run is a Blast !! I'm sure Mike and VJ are going to stress not to drive over our abilities.
Please be sure to Check your tire Inflation these are some agressive roads we are going to be running. Id hate to see someone lose it over an under inflated tire

 

Yeah, seriously. Make sure all your running gear is in good shape. No real rain in the forecast but some roads may be damp in places. Know your car and know your own limits. If you've never driven like this before, please don't feel pressured to do so. It's all about fun. Also...get a good nights sleep. You'll be surprised how much you'll need to concentrate

 

Crap...changing out my unrevised springs and shocks to a new revised setup is taking way longer than I thought. Ugh, I doubt I'll have it back together in time for the run tomorrow.

 

im heading to my apartment upstate now. See you guys at 7:30 ish! Ill have my silverstone Z with the italian rear kit and G rims. you wont miss it! heheh

 

Make sure you all bring a full tank of gas as we won't be stopping for gas during the Run. There is a gas station right near the BBall Hall of Fame if you need it, but I wouldn't even wait that long.

 

I hope you guys have a good time. I woke up late so I missed out.

 

Okay......for those who looked out their windows this morning and saw dark clouds/drizzle/rain or whatever and decided not to come......you really missed out. My feeling on things like this is that if you have planned the day, you might as well go regardless of weather.

Anyway, as we headed out and up I-91, it began to pour. As we putzed our way through downtown Northampton, I had resided myself to the fact that this would be just a group drive in the rain and nothing more.

As we headed out from Northampton onto route 66, things let up a bit. The roads were wet but at least nothing was coming down.

Then, suddenly, and as if by magic, the clouds broke, the roads got dry, the sun came out. I actually put my top down, and kept it down for the rest of the ride up and the whole trip back. The weather was GREAT, and we cruising full tilt!

We hit traffic in only a few spots, the entire pack of 30+ cars held together, and by the time we hit the final stretches, the roads were bone dry, and the temps were in the 70's.

No mishaps along the way either. We slowed down when needed, and ripped it up when the roads got empty.

A good time for sure. Hope you all enjoyed it!!!

 

Good time as always....
z2thdr You definatley get the Long distance award ! I was impressed with all the people who showed . Beautiful cars with owners who arent afraid to drive them and get em a little dirty...
Thanks Mike & VJ for hosting the Event
