Taking Cedar Ave south all the way to Hwy 50 and cutting east takes us through Farmington and all the way to Hampton and Hwy 80 which eventually turns into 61.

Sweet! Thanks Dave. I like it! Let's book it for April 25th. Everyone on board

I think you'll be fine with those springs. I drove the Tail of the Dragon on stock springs and never had a problem.

I adjusted my seat to a more 'spirited driving' position today and ripped my car up and down a twisty road today at a pretty good lip.

These tires on my 17" wheels SUCK. But damn, my strut bar feels like it really stiffened up the front end.

So where are you guys planning on "meeting" on the 25th? I work new hours so getting up early isn't a problem this time around.
