I never knew they made an STI version of the Forester!

What exit did we get off at?....The Northampton, MA exit!...lots of backroads meandering all the way up...Rt. 66 to Rt. 112 I believe were the main ones.

Ya Know I was thinking about that... We caught the brunt of the Jerks on the dirt road due to them being Impatient. My car didnt show nearly as bad but it was filthy. What jerks, we were the last two cars and they decided they waited long enough...
All and all It was a good time.

Default Here is my share of videos....

Pretty funny on the one where I started shooting while at a standstill & then the camera went sideways when I shifted....either that, or I would have went off the road .

Enjoy!

AHHHH I WANT TO GO AGAIN THIS FRIGGIN WEEKEND LOL

Anyway, Ill post a new thread once the routes are planned and "scheduled" pit-stops are figured out. Few things to look fwd too:

- New Route additions
- Pit stops for cars to catch up (This will eliminate stopping 500 times)
- Better utilization of the 10-12 hours of driving time (More in the seat time)
- Hopefully no Mud
- No, or very little turning around
- Group Spacing - Confident/Experienced Drivers to the front, Less experienced to the rear of the pack (Nothing wrong with being at the rear of the pack, safety is paramount. I don't want anyone driving over the comfort/experience level)
- One stop along the way for everyone to stop, fuel up, and have lunch
- Drive further North to a more rural area (walkie - talkies would be needed)
- Places to take pics and stretch out for a little bit
- Having the "Run" end very close a major highway so everyone has a quick way home
- Maybe a 2 day (Not sure about this one)
- Set camera cars (perhaps with Sticky Pod Camera Mounts on certain cars)
- Open to any and all suggestions

I am more then willing to set up more and more events as time goes on if we continue to have the GREAT group we had this time. I really appreciate everyone holding to the guidelines. I will try my best to work out any kinks and make the "Runs" better and better. Anyone willing to help is more then welcome!!!!



Did you here that? Did someone say SUMMER RUN!!!
