I leave drag for a few months and get back on, and eveyone is getting along what the hell is going on... Just joking, I see some of the people are still around. How are everyone and their cars doing? Also we should plan a meet sometime for the begining of Feb. More of like a cruise thing. I found a nice ride from 40west to the end to rt 8 then through the parkway to roanoke. If you kinda like the curves and straights through the country side this would be your time to go. its about a 250mile round trip give or take depending on where you live. If there are people up for it I will make some plans. But I know how drag used to be so I expect slight flaming.

 

 

Got Marshmallow's?

 

A. I dont know of many guys who are up to putting a quarter of a thousand miles on their car (a full tank of gas for a lot of us) just got a whole day cruise. The cruises we go on are usually an hour or less (sometimes 2-3 if we stop for a photoshoot)...and usually around 20-40 miles long.
B. I dont think many of the cars would make a 250 mile cruise without something going wrong or breaking or someone crashing.
C. Sounds like a neat route, but why not do about 50 miles of it?

 

I'm thinking Gumball 3000....who's down?

 

Small cruises like that aren't worth the hour or more drive to people like me. I know I would like to come out for one to get to know people other then your screen name. True 250 miles is Way to long but it covers some very nice areas maybe cut it to 75/100 miles that would make a good most of the day trip including rest stops and photo's.

This is what I had in mind to haha ...

 

I wouldn't mind doing something like that, I'd just need to know a couple of weeks in advance to take the day off of work. It's always fun to meet some other car guys who just want to ride around for a bit!

And to whoever was complaining about the length of the drive, if your car can't stand the rigors of a 250 mile cruise...maybe you should be spending a little more time in the shop!

 

True, but there are some guys with DSM's that come sometimes...so ya know....

 

I've actually been thinking about this... I have to say, it would be fun. Route picking would play a part, but so would traffic, luck, gas mileage, driver durability, etc. It'd be an adventure... but of course, it would be a "speed competition" across states, federal offenses, which equals federal pound-me-in-the-ass-prison.

I think it'd be cool to have like 4-5 teams of two people, two per car. All leave at the same time, everyone put in $100, and winner gets the pot or something. No major betting.

I think it'd be really fun, but it's illegal, so we can't do it.

 

I'm down for a Gumball type.

I'd say we do it.
