**ATL Meet/Mountain Run March 26**

[bijan gxe]

OK - this next meet will hopefully be a multi-car meet/mountain run in north Georgia. We meet up behinda Chevron gas station off the exit. It's very easy to find.

Coming from the south, (which I think most of you will be) - just take 400 NORTH to exit 14. This exit ramp loops around....make a RIGHT off the exit and go down for about 1/8 or so mile, the Chevron is on the left.

After we all meet up, we'll be on our way further north off GA400. There's another Chevron up there, (if you're going to need gas) - but once we're up there, theres not too many other things besides an AutoZone. :)

Im not 100% sure on what time - but it will be in the morning...approx 11:00 am. If you think you're going to attend, bring along walkie talkies if you have them. Maybe a passenger to get some sick footage :nopity:



There's over 150 miles of road if Im not mistaking. We can do a lot of roads...flat, hilly, straight, curvey....etc. It'll be VERY fun, I went today and it was sick!

So...thats that. - WE'RE MEETING AT 10:30 AM

Meeting at gas stations doesn't work too well because you'll get kicked out before everyone arrives then the people running late won't have a clue where you went. Mountain runs on Saturdays are not the brightest thing to do either...too many bicycles, tourists, and alot more cops than on Sunday.

My suggestion would be meet at the Home Depot across from the Premium Outlet Malls in Dawson Co. and if you need gas stop at the Chevron at the Hwy. 400/60 intersection about 10 miles North. If you meet at 11 then it will be at least 11:30 before you roll out and then you end up with an early lunch or really late cookout....

If that's the weekend you want then I can help you organize it.

[bijan gxe]

We meet up BEHIND a gas station. And people didnt get run off today. Today was Saturday and it was fine....there were a lor of bikes, but not an extreme amount. Didnt see any cops.

We can do lunch or whatever, it doesnt HAVE to last all day. There's a Pizza Hut near...

The VW's set it up, Im just spreading the word.

[ProjectWidow]

im down for my first mountain run! just let me know on some more info and exactly what day and time so i can request it off in advance and not have to worry about not making the run.

[bijan gxe]

March 26........what more info do you need? It's very easy to find.

[ProjectWidow]

March 26........what more info do you need? It's very easy to find.
oh alright. its just someone said do it sunday instead of saturday so i was unsure.

[speedminded]

....more people have to work on saturday too, it wasjust a suggestion.


March 26........what more info do you need? It's very easy to find.Do you have a route planned? How about lunch or a cookout? Pizza hut would take at least 2 hours with a large group and you always try to avoid driving through the towns because it draws too much attention. If you wanna cookout then it might be nice to know what we need to bring. Can you give a link or copy the thread/post for the VW meet?

[dp32185]

try Toosy's bike shop parking lot. That's where s2k club meets every time before we run. It's .1 mile before you hit the last Chevron going 400N.

holy shit, is that 180? Judging by the bank and underground power it looks to be right below wolfpen gap...doesn't really matter how sticky your tires are when the asphalt is cold. Hope they made it out ok, is there a thread for the accident?

damnnnnn!!! boy that sucks! did they live?

Thank God we lived!!! I was smart enough to park my car nearby because I started breaking loose with my worn rear tires espeically more in the weather and rode with the guy that drove the yellow S. He' a real good driver and those RE050s are sticky sticky, but that wasn't the problem...

without our seatbelts, we would've been seriously injured or dead. Just be careful when you go out there...shit can happen...

btw, we were headed clayton for lunch...i forget what rd that is...it's the way to go to clayton from T's corner.

[green91]

ya'all have fun, im probably done with these organized runs.. to many people not thinking while they are up there

[bijan gxe]

^explain

[4dmin]

^ i may come out and shoot some footage

[CEFIRO]

Hope that doesnt happen this time + with a freshly painted car like mine!
I forgot to say, Im IN!!! :D :D :crazy: :p

[Pablo]

[ProjectWidow]

[LeX]

i might be out there but def not on my stock suspension if the damn coilovers haven't come yet :P

[ProjectWidow]

i might be out there but def not on my stock suspension if the damn coilovers haven't come yet :P
hopefully i can get my suspension fixed before i go but if not oh well. are u by any chance from OT?

[ironchef]

Sign me and my friend up, were riding in his car.

[Miranda]

Hmm.... I might try to make it up to that. My autocross suspension may be a little too insane for those mountain roads, but we'll see. Worse comes to worst, I can steal mom's car for the day. She'll have the td06 20G in by then, so it'll be interesting to see how the car acts up there.

Sunday is definitely better for me, though. I will be in Columbia the day before getting all the graphics put on the race car.

[ironchef]

Does anyone have a map of the possible route? And know what roads we might be on?

[Kermit]

My schedule is pretty crazy at the moment, but if I can, I'll be there also.

[speedminded]

Does anyone have a map of the possible route? And know what roads we might be on?I have a bunch of mini-maps I always pass out on the runs...i'm trying to find the .jpg for it.

[noclue119]

Just to let everyone know i was there this weekend had a great trip.

Found out the best route to take is

19/60 -> 60 -> 180 -> 129 -> 180 -> 348 -> 75 -> 129 -> 19/129 -> 180 -> 60 -> 60/19

just be careful 60 and 180 are full of gravel.

weather suckssssssssssss

[XBLG20]

there goes that idea

[bijan gxe]

Yo, you guys
from what other forums are saying, still meet up - if heavy rain comes, it's off, if its light to medium...its on.

I however cannot go as of today, I got hired at a new place and guess when I start? :mad: :(

Yall have fun and take lots of pics!

[speedminded]

scared of a little rain? That just means less tourists & motorcycles and a little understeer never hurt anyone (any of my runs anyways)!

[redlinenprelude]

so lets get a head count of who is going..

[thinkfast®]

I'm also in, I will be with another board however, heres a route of our drive:

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v642/digitalpope/image_map.gif

and heres a link to our g2g tomorrow...

http://www.focaljet.com/ubbthreads/showflat.php?Cat=0&Number=2416701367&page=0&fpart=all&vc=1

Basically a few Focus guys, a WRX or 2... It is supposed to rain although its going to be later in the afternoon. If I were you guys I would go early, we will be meeting @ 9....

hope this helps :D

[speedminded]

that's the route everyone is going on?

[quickdodge®]

Thinkfast, your link to FocalJet sucks. Lolol. I'm guessing you have to be a member to look at it. I'm going to see if I still am. Later, QD.


WELL, I guess I am.

[JoeCoolinATL]

i can see it now.
rain.
mtn run.
lots of wrecks of kids "drifting" in the rain.

[green91]

posting a route is a very bad idea.

[white99gt]

Ive been on many mountain runs.They are bad enough with the law thats out there.Much less posting a route where they can be watching out for you..

FYI--Its a VERY bad IDEA.

Seen some guys get bust on oour street car forums by posting racing spots.They learned a lesson after that ..

[ProjectWidow]

im still deciding. i would love to go but the weather kind of makes me not want to go. quoted from weather.com "Some of the storms may become severe"

[green91]

if htere are even just water spots in the road its not worth it, IMO. brief wet spots cool your tires back down to much

[ProjectWidow]

yeh thats why most likely im going to skip this one. i would have loved to go today with the weather being the way it was, although it was HOTT!

[CiViCCuTie]

Yeah I say F the weather men...they don't know whats going on half the time...I want to go and do something sunday....I guess if we see ya then we see ya!

[JoeCoolinATL]

while you kids are running off the sides of mountains :) ill be playing golf hahahaha

[speedminded]

while you kids are running off the sides of mountains :) ill be playing golf hahahahai think i'd much rather be in my car than holding a metal rod out in an open field.... :p

[speedminded]

you just might be good for most of the day, dahlonega weather by the hour..

[Doppelgänger]

we still on for the mountain run? im in.. .jsut called into work. wheres the final metting place and time?

[Doppelgänger]

anyone? its 8:50 sat morning and i need to know asap if its still on...

[Doppelgänger]

dammit, 3 people viewing and no replies??? wtf is wrong with you people? lol ARE WE GOING?

[ironchef]

I want to go, but theyre meeting in 7 minutes from now, and my friend whos going to be the one driving still hasnt called :(.

[thinkfast®]

well we had a blast yesterday, no rain until we were more then halfway home, about 8:30 or so.

LOL and next time when someone posts a route, (I was bring helpful, its called planning ahead) please dont think of it as a "stupid post" and "they will bust you" we were on a very organized run and no problems with anything, when you play nice you have nothing to worry about :D

[wannab20hatch]

Damn you guys ran the dragon. I thought you guys were just gonna run "the usual". Shit if i had known that i wouldve gladly rode. Sorry mike i know you were looking forward to playing with the new car. i wanna ride in it sometime.

[speedminded]

That focus group wasn't involved with this mtn run...don't know why they even posted their route and pictures in someone elses thread.

The run went great minus one minor mishap at stonepile gap (let them involved explain) and one person got a ticket on the way home...which was complete bullshit. Mike, I, and the bimmer were all running together with two "civilian" cars....mike and I were up front and there was no way we were going over 70-75mph when we saw the officer and when he passed us....yet he locks it down on 400 north to cross and pull the last car in line over for doing 80 in a 65. Mike and I pulled over less than a mile up the road and waited to hear the news.

I'll have pics and vids up soon...

[green91]

LOL and next time when someone posts a route, (I was bring helpful, its called planning ahead) please dont think of it as a "stupid post" and "they will bust you" we were on a very organized run and no problems with anything, when you play nice you have nothing to worry about :D

i would be very willing to bet that i know the area 1000x better than you do. the local law enforcement DOES patrol car forums like this... and they DO set up speed traps and monitor the area. just because you did not have an incident doesnt give you the all knowing of what goes on in the mountains...

[bijan gxe]

I missed it due to my POS clutch pressure plate :(

[thinkfast®]

dude I'm not saying I know the area better then you or your friend or the cops. WHO CARES?? I saw those idiots patrolling in the planes, as well as a few black and whites between runs (Tellicafe, CVS, and the BP as well) If you go doing dumb shit don't be surprised if they fuck with you, like the above mentioned... especially when you are with immature people or people looking for a thrill. The drive itself is a thrill, not driving in a 15 mph zone @ 45. thats what Im saying. I am "very willing to bet" you wouldnt last 5 minutes "in the area I know". we dont have to leave GA either :D

Anyways I know I posted last minute, I was just posting our results and I hope we can get a larger group for the next time!! we should really try to make this a monthly run?

[green91]

come on now, nobody goes on these runs to go the speed limit and im sure you are no expection. i dont drive hte speed limits through there either. but i dont go excessive speeds or push my abilities... im very aware of my surroundings and traffic. im saying it is a bad idea to post routes because law enforcement would not rather do anything than bust up a bunch of car guys through the mountains... the gsp loves that shit. ive been on several of the IA started runs and although not everyone acts a fool, there is always somebody that does.. and i dont go on them anymore because i dont want to be guilty by assocation, which is how law enforcement sees it. they can always find something to harass you over

i prefer small groups opposed to large ones... i also like weekdays much better. on weekends you really gotta watch out for the bikers and leaf lookers... its nice when its clear out and you can concentrate completely on your driving

[thinkfast®]

yea I hear ya dude. Im not opposed to "spirited" driving, but wreckless driving is another story. All I'm saying is dont be obvious and blatantly stupid and you wil be fine. you will always have a fucktard in a group, the bigger the group the larger the chance of having more then one :D

anyways hope to see you fools on the next one!
