Arrow 2 Multi Marquee Group Drives

I want to extend and invitation to a couple of group drives this month. While the-winding-road started out as RX-8's we've been enjoying the company all makes and models of sports cars over the last few months, and wont to continue sharing our enthusiasm for the corners.

The Sunday Drive is part of a standing series, 1 a month since June '06, while the Saturday Drive is more of a feeler. If enough folks show, it'll be a regular occurrence too.

Sunday Drive - Harvest Road - 30 September - http://www.the-winding-road.com/modu...ent.php?eid=24

Saturday Drive - Summer's End - 15 September - http://www.the-winding-road.com/modu...ent.php?eid=23

Please, come out and join us.

^ I heard about one of your group's late night drives from Scott V. (white RX-8). Sounded like a pretty wild account. He compared it to something out of Initial D. He shared w/ me the route that you drove. Do you ever have problems w/ the cops in some of those areas?

The links don't seem to work (seems like the abbreviation of "..." was used in the posted URL). I'd be interested in viewing them if I could.

Sorry 'bout that. Links are fixed.

We haven't had any Constabulary entanglements, knock on wood.

I think an Initial D comparison is a bit excessive, we don't do any drifting. I also suggest everyone bring a 2-way radio. I had no idea anyone was uncomfortable with the pace on that run, or I'd have slowed down. As it is, we encourage everyone to drive your own drive. I like to play in the twisties, but as soon as I hit a straight, I tend to rein it in and let anyone who gets separated get caught up. The point is to get out and have fun together without making anyone uncomfortable.

BTW, the Night Drive was a success, and and I'll be adding that as a regular series, but I have to figure out a schedule first.

Night drive FTW - I'd be down for that! (I could sneak out when my wife is sleeping...push the car out of the garage so I wouldn't wake her...just like sneaking out of the house in high school )

^ LOL! I like the sound of that. Okay, I might be down w/ a late night drive too. I'll just down an energy drink before pushing the car out of the garage and I'll be good to go.

Would we mind? Of course not! Honestly, anyone who loves to drive is welcome any time. I only ask one thing, sign up at The-Winding-Road.com so I know how many Route Maps to print.

Awesome dude. My car is at the bodyshop presently and I hope it comes out before your next meet.

Otherwise I'll just bum a ride off of my buddy's EVO 8.

There is a meet Saturday, details at the-winding-road.com.

We will probably finish up between 3 and 4 on the 30th, and more like 2-3 on Saturday.
