Time: Sunday, June 11th - 11:00am
Location: Home Depot - Hwy. 400 N. across from the Premium Outlet Mall in Dawson Co.

Meeting at Home Depot @ 11am or so and heading north at 11:30. Please bring radios (walkie-talkies) if you have them, portable CB radios are a plus!

We'll discuss the route once we meet and I have credit card sized maps printed with all the roads and general landmarks labeled just in-case anyone gets seperated...we normally make several stops to re-group anyways: couple gas stations, major interesections, etc. Goood times.

[ShooterMcGavin]

since there's not many of us should we just stop somewhere and get food instead of trying to cook out? just wondering.

[Kalifornia087]

Ummm... I MIGHT be back in time. If i am I'll be the entertainement for sure, you guys all have nice cars and i have mine... Was nice but.... > http://www.cardomain.com/ride/2326467/3

But i really would like to meet all of you though, im going to try and make it!

[~The_Duke~]

since there's not many of us should we just stop somewhere and get food instead of trying to cook out? just wondering.

good idea...I know there are many places to get food up by North Ga college. There is a wendy's, zaxbys, subway, capitin D's, taco bell, mcdonald's, pizza hut, and a couple more...

[speedminded]

since there's not many of us should we just stop somewhere and get food instead of trying to cook out? just wondering.yeah,.that's why i didn't post the food list...i'll edit the paragraphs i copied and pasted next time i add people.



^^^^ good idea...I know there are many places to get food up by North Ga college. There is a wendy's, zaxbys, subway, capitin D's, taco bell, mcdonald's, pizza hut, and a couple more...I normally try to avoid downtown [dahlonega] before a mtn run, just depends on the group. We could always eat up in Helen too.

Most of those are right off of 60...just a suggestion

Ya helen is always a choice to.

[speedminded]

Ya helen is always a choice to.It's all still just a golfball and metal baseball bats distance from the Sheriff's Office, and all within the patrol area of the city officer who happens to be on the same frequency as the county officers....I lived in Dahlonega for 15years and have a scanner in my car ;)

:lmao: I acutally havent had any issue with the dahlonega cops...now I did almost get arrested for throwing a cell phone a my X's head, but that is different...

[speedminded]

:lmao: I acutally havent had any issue with the dahlonega cops...now I did almost get arrested for throwing a cell phone a my X's head, but that is different...No issues with them, i just don't want them calling ahead when they see a dozen cars roll into town together.

[~The_Duke~]

No issues with them, i just don't want them calling ahead when they see a dozen cars roll into town together.

Didnt think about that...good call though...

[slowrolla97]

so many mountain runs. I might make it but my bimmer is stock and my corolla is down for the count for a little bit. If i do go i will be taking the bimmer up there and take it easy down the mountain and take pics and stuff.

[ShooterMcGavin]

nothing wrong a stock BIMMER man, my car might as well be stock :(

and definitely a good suggestion on getting food in helen, i loved that place the one time i went and really liked the food there as well :goodjob:

[JITB]

Ill try to come out and nemesis is supposed to ride with me.

[~The_Duke~]

Ill try to come out and nemesis is supposed to ride with me.

I think he is in the windy city this weekend...

[JennB]

Hell yeah!

And don't worry... I'll play nice. I've been on runs before where it turned into more of a race than a fun run and that just sucks.

[DinanM3atl]

im in
woot :)

gonna come get me some uncle bens(this would be you jason) hehehe

[.....]

[~The_Duke~]

Count me in for the 11th :goodjob:

[speedminded]

[.....]

[at165db]

Absoludely told me bout your run, count me in on the 11th!

[ShooterMcGavin]

free test drives offered? :lmao:

[Outphase]

I'm there.

[Outphase]

Oh yeah.... for the 11th in the FWD Corolla XRS

[ironchef]

Count me in!

Edit - Scratch that, I'm playing in a 5 v 5 ultimate frisbee game sunday 1 pm, which I just remembered :(, oh well theres always next weekend. Unless that gets cancelled.

[JennB]

Hmm.... so are we going up that one road where there are cliffs on the right side? That road scares the crap outta me.

[ShooterMcGavin]

:eek: sounds uh, exciting... :D

[JennB]

Hehee... I've driven it, and pretty quickly but it was a little umm.... eek!

Especially since it was my first time ever on that road and it was after that snow up in the mountains a couple of months ago..... can you say "gravel".

[speedminded]

Absoludely told me bout your run, count me in on the 11th!
I'll bring:ah, taken a sled up...helllo understeer (i still want an S8 though!). Beautiful house too :)


Hmm.... so are we going up that one road where there are cliffs on the right side? That road scares the crap outta me.That's Hwy. 60 overlooking R-Ranch, it's a fun lil road and i can drive it blindfolded...couldn't tell you how many exotics i've run on that stretch :D

[ShooterMcGavin]

durrr i don't know if i can say gravel but i know i can say "watch out for that cliiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii... ." :D

[speedminded]

durrr i don't know if i can say gravel but i know i can say "watch out for that cliiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii... ." :Dunless you figure out how to cartwheel over the guardrail you won't go down :tongue:

[ShooterMcGavin]

^^^that's only slightly reassuring ;)

[Kalifornia087]

Hmm.... so are we going up that one road where there are cliffs on the right side? That road scares the crap outta me.

It's cool. I'll hold you if you get scared :D

Oh yeah by the way guys, i can't make the 11th. Saturday night after the drift event im going to a party and i won't be back by 10 am, because it's a 2hr 30min drive back, and i probably won't be leaving super early. However, count me in on June 18th. I will be there, and i'll even put the mufflers back on my car for the sake of your hearing!

See everyone on the 18th

-Austin

[ShooterMcGavin]

[redlinenprelude]

i took my old gsl-se up there and had a great time. even with a 22 year old car i was able to keep up with everybody..

[speedminded]

i took my old gsl-se up there and had a great time. even with a 22 year old car i was able to keep up with everybody..i got vids of me running up there with a stripped FB, full cage on 225's, with a Turbo II....blowing 18" flames ;)

[Kalifornia087]

but who's gonna hold her hand this week if ur not gonna be there??? :lmao:

Welll you'll just have to improvise until the 18th! :lmfao:

[dartingd]

just a lookout for you guys on a race i'm competing in on sunday in the mountains over there...the cops will be numerous as they are our escorts in these races...here's a map of where my race is taking place...i race at 8am, and they'll be races starting directly after mine is finished at 12pm...just an fyi...please be courteous to the cyclists here, cause i know a couple people who have been injured in the mountains due to careless drivers...

map of race:Son of a...! 3 gap ride this weekend?! Mountain Run is off then...or we'll have to find and alternate route. Dragon or Road To Nowhere maybe?

[~The_Duke~]

Son of a...! 3 gap ride this weekend?! Mountain Run is off then...or we'll have to find and alternate route. Dragon or Road To Nowhere maybe?

well shit...

[dartingd]

ya...not three gap ride...its round five of the maxxis georgia cup...there'll be racing saturday and sunday pretty much all day...sorry guys, but at least i didn't let ya get up there and waste gas only to be disappointed!

[~The_Duke~]

ya this is true...thanks though...

[ShooterMcGavin]

let's find an alternate route jason, i'm too worked up about this now to just sit home on sunday :D

[speedminded]

hey Jenn, can you get some info on the Road To Nowhere? I'll start researching too but you know people that have been...

[~The_Duke~]

let's find an alternate route jason, i'm too worked up about this now to just sit home on sunday :D

:goodjob:

[ShooterMcGavin]

check out this link w/the map, looks like the road to nowhere comes right out of bryson city...

http://www.westernncattractions.com/map.htm

either this place or the dragon would be cool :goodjob:

[JennB]

hey Jenn, can you get some info on the Road To Nowhere? I'll start researching too but you know people that have been...

Already did.... we need to get to Bryson City NC and then drive to it from there.

It's far.... but worth it. And from there we could head about 30-45 minutes over to the Dragon and stop at Fontana Dam for some pics. Yes, it's a few hours away but I've done in a day before and it was totally worth it. There is a damn good reason why the Dragon is one of the most famous roads in the county. :goodjob:

[ShooterMcGavin]

what is it like a 2 hr drive up there?

edit: holy hell just mapquested this and it's over 160 mi and that's supposedly the fastest way :eek:

[JennB]

Yes.... mountain runs aren't like 45 minute drives....


I dunno.... I can't suggest anything else really because I don't know my way around GA well enough. NC... I got ya but not GA. I'm a Carolina girl :goodjob:

[speedminded]

Sounds like a day of burning $100 in gas to me...and no pro photographers would be going :(

[ironchef]

what is it like a 2 hr drive up there?

edit: holy hell just mapquested this and it's over 160 mi and that's supposedly the fastest way :eek:Just think at 160 mph that would only take an hour to get there :D.

[~The_Duke~]

South NC is to far for me...grandma and grandpa wont baby sit that long...

[speedminded]

Mall of Georgia to Bryson City is about 120 miles....all for a 6 mile long road and 1,200 foot tunnel :tongue: The place looks pretty hot though and would hit the dragon on the way back down...hrmm.

[Outphase]

I'm stoked on the meet. Can't wait.

[speedminded]

I'm stoked on the meet. Can't wait.Have you seen the update on the original post and the last 2 pages of replies...? Just making sure...

[99SI]

Damn I wish my motor was finished already. I've missed two autox's and a mountain run already with this shit. Jason we'll see each other one day on the mountains. lol. I still want to do a weekend where we go up to N. Alabama and make the Crow mountain runs, get some video.

[ShooterMcGavin]

no other ideas for places we could hit up besides this cross country trip? :D

i personally remember some decent roads up 575 that also cuts across over to cumming and then 400 but just don't know them in detail =/ but hey, if anyone is up for going "exploring" with a road map, that'd be cool too?

[ShooterMcGavin]

Just think at 160 mph that would only take an hour to get there :D.

lirl, but my car tops out at 145-150 :doh:

[speedminded]

no other ideas for places we could hit up besides this cross country trip? :DNot really, I'd say hit up one of the big waterfalls or national parks but I did my scenic tour nature thing last weekend...no, weekend before last....and i'm ready to drive. Could always just go to Helen and play on 75, 180, and Richard B. Russel until later in the afternoon then venture down to the loop where the race was.

[Kalifornia087]

Wait until June 18th!!!! :rant:

Then i can come ! :goodjob:

not a bad idea...i'd be up for that, and maybe meet up just a little later (say 11am?) since we might be out later than originally planned?

[JennB]

How long do these races last?

That route looks long to me... but I don't know those roads very well so I could be wrong.

[ShooterMcGavin]

tehpr3chr will have to answer that for us...

[Kalifornia087]

How long do these races last?

Long enough to fuck teh mountain run up!!

*unless* you guys (and gal) are up for an evening run, in which case i will be back in town...

[ShooterMcGavin]

late afternoon = fine, EVENING = no thnx, if i were gonna roll off a mtn i'd at least like to be able to see it :lmao:

[Kalifornia087]

late afternoon = fine, EVENING = no thnx, if i were gonna roll off a mtn i'd at least like to be able to see it :lmao:

Ahh What's the fun in that!!

It'll be surpriiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii----------

[speedminded]

That route looks long to me... but I don't know those roads very well so I could be wrong.He said they'll be ending around noon....it's several hours to do the loop(s) on a bicycle.

I'm all about midnight mtn. runs...saturday night? :D

[~The_Duke~]

lol that would be interesting...we would just have to watch for the ever so vidulant lumpkin county police...

[speedminded]

lol that would be interesting...we would just have to watch for the ever so vidulant lumpkin county police...shit, you won't see them...they're asleep in some parking lot somewhere.

[~The_Duke~]

shit, you won't see them...they're asleep in some parking lot somewhere.

:lmao: shit I am up for it, I am a late nighter anyway...

[JennB]

My night vision is crap. The xenons help some though.

I just wanna drive. I'd greatly prefer to drive Sunday afternoon but that's just me.

[speedminded]

My night vision is crap. The xenons help some though.

I just wanna drive. I'd greatly prefer to drive Sunday afternoon but that's just me.Just bring a GT4 steering wheel and you can "drive" with me....RHD and all :D

[~The_Duke~]

My night vision is crap. The xenons help some though.

I just wanna drive. I'd greatly prefer to drive Sunday afternoon but that's just me.

I would prefer during the day to, just because I dont know those roads...

We need to do one the weekend of the first...

[slowrolla97]

We need to do one the weekend of the first...
I agree but if we do run it at night i gotta hook up my ultra off road lights. they are tight.

[ShooterMcGavin]

i'm also down for sunday afternoon vs late nite...

[speedminded]

yeah yeah, afternoon run...it takes a certain breed of people to do a midnight run ;)

[~The_Duke~]

Do we want to wait a lil longer in the day to start up there since the cyclist will be running early...

[speedminded]

Do we want to wait a lil longer in the day to start up there since the cyclist will be running early...Not really, i know where to avoid the congestion...if people have an extra $20 we can race karts up in Helen on the indoor "drift" track (slick concrete) :)

[~The_Duke~]

Not really, i know where to avoid the congestion...if people have an extra $20 we can race karts up in Helen on the indoor "drift" track (slick concrete) :)

are they the propane ones...

[speedminded]

are they the propane ones...nope, gasoline.

[~The_Duke~]

nope, gasoline.

oh...did you ever go to that goldspeed place that was in gainesville for a while...

if so how do they compare to those...

[speedminded]

oh...did you ever go to that goldspeed place that was in gainesville for a while...

if so how do they compare to those...nope, never went there....the course is tight...you can drift the hell out of it. After 30 minutes your arms will be jello because the tie rods are nylon (so they don't break if you hit something) but it's like stretching a bungee cord for a few hours.

[green91]

im down yo. the nissan is dying to get in the curves

[ShooterMcGavin]

Not really, i know where to avoid the congestion...if people have an extra $20 we can race karts up in Helen on the indoor "drift" track (slick concrete) :)

i'd be down.

[~The_Duke~]

nope, never went there....the course is tight...you can drift the hell out of it. After 30 minutes your arms will be jello because the tie rods are nylon (so they don't break if you hit something) but it's like stretching a bungee cord for a few hours.

:lmao: the goldspeed track was tight and the karts went about 30 and they were propane powered instead of gas...they were a blast...

go-karts are fun as hell on a slick track...

[ShooterMcGavin]

yeah so what's the deal for tomorrow?

[HiPSI]

there's a bicycle race going through the mountains all weekend, i'd stay away.

[ShooterMcGavin]

^^^old news, that's why we were talkin about goin later on in the day?

[~The_Duke~]

yeah so what's the deal for tomorrow?

:stupid:

I need to know before I go to sleep tonight so I know wither or not to wake up or not...

[DinanM3atl]

everyone still in for meeting at the same time?

[~The_Duke~]

I couldnt care less...it takes me 5 mins to get there...and I need mountain from the store that is right next to the meeting place anyway...:lmao:

[DinanM3atl]

jason where are you... we still on like donkey kong?

[ShooterMcGavin]

think that if we still meet up it should be later so as to avoid as much of the bike traffic as possible. :2cents:

[slowrolla97]

Ok, so what is the plan? I am confused about all this. Are we meeting at the time posted, later, never? Whats going on!!!??!?!?! I wanna go up there

[ShooterMcGavin]

think jason is dropping the ball on this one :(

[Outphase]

Went to SEDA meet...and my brakes are faded as hell.. hopefully they'll last tomorrow.

[ShooterMcGavin]

we don't even know if there IS a tomorrow at this point...

[DinanM3atl]

better be
we should just gonna meet up at specified time...

[Outphase]

I want to go, but I am too tired to take 4 tires+wheels + spare up 3 flights of stairs. I have faded brakes, back right trailling arm is out of alignment, my clutch burned even more, brake/clutch fluid lining has another bubble in it (. I don't think I'm going. I don't want to risk damaging my car anymore... took a beating today in the 100*F heat.

Dude just come, my suspension is all screwed up. I need new pads and rotors on the right side. Everytime I stop my whole shit vibrates. and my tires LOL booooy I could write a book about those. But I'm still going.

[~The_Duke~]

is there a plan?

[OvErMiNd]

Will we make a fast group and a slow group?

No offense, but can you FWDs take the route @ 60+?

[~The_Duke~]

I havent tried before...

[JennB]

It's not looking good.... oh well.. wish I could come up with something but I don't know my way around north GA at all.


And as for the last comment... heheheh... ever been in a MINI? I can keep up with anything. No, really.

[~The_Duke~]

if any of us could do it it would be the mini...but my spec v doesnt do to bad either...

[~The_Duke~]

well if anything I am still going to show up because this meeting place is like 10 min from my house...if no one else does...I will just go to church...

[Fr33way]

yeah yeah, afternoon run...it takes a certain breed of people to do a midnight run ;)

Please post the next late-night run.

[speedminded]

helllllo my mtn. peoples! :D Been up at the race shop all day. It's on as far as i'm concerned, same time is fine with me, or i can change it to meet at 11:00...hell, i think it will.

11:00am

I have to raise my car up 1/2" or so and a few other things anyways.

[DinanM3atl]

I don't know who you are, but you shouldn't talk if you don't know how I drive.

[DinanM3atl]

sweet

[DinanM3atl]

drive your own pace... there are some of us I KNOW that will be ahead of other people... its not a race... if you cant keep up you cant keep up

Jason and I will wait up for everyone ;)
hehehehe

[speedminded]

I don't know who you are, but you shouldn't talk if you don't know how I drive.it's ok, being an S2k owner he's stepping into dangerous territory...i know how loose they are and he's not going to make it back down unless his name is Alex Pfeiffer ;)

[Outphase]

Like I said, I'd go, but I wouldn't enjoy it. It's pretty teasing when I have no brakes and I can't drive fast. I don't think it's going to be any cooler (temperature wise) tomorrow either. Today was blazing hot and my brakes assed out in 2 laps of hard driving. I don't want to risk anyone's lives tomorrow, so I am sitting out, as dramatic as this sounds.

[DinanM3atl]

hehehe
just need some good rotors :) OEM 13in front and rear!!!
ill be good to go

sorry you wont make it out :(
there will be more!!!

AND...and, if I total it, then Dinan and Slow owe my a Bimmer. damn right lol...why am I still awa..zzzzzz

[DinanM3atl]

go to sleep you big wuss
cya tomorrow :)

[Leadfoot_mf]

I want to go, but I am too tired to take 4 tires+wheels + spare up 3 flights of stairs. I have faded brakes, back right trailling arm is out of alignment, my clutch burned even more, brake/clutch fluid lining has another bubble in it (. I don't think I'm going. I don't want to risk damaging my car anymore... took a beating today in the 100*F heat.

:lmao: the goldspeed track was tight and the karts went about 30 and they were propane powered instead of gas...they were a blast...

go-karts are fun as hell on a slick track...

i used to rent goldspeed every christmas and take all my friends up there we use to fuck up some karts not on purpose shit just happened. went to andretti's on memorial day that was fun but three sessions was 62 bucks...

[Flip]

Hum. I'd kinda like to go. It would be fun but somehow I always catch these things too late... I'm working right now and have to work sunday night anywho so it wouldn't really work out.

[speedminded]

ughh, *yawns* ~Looks at clock~ ok...If I got in at 4:30am, made girl happy for hour+, passed out, and now it's only 7:30am? You could've told me it was 4pm sunday afternoon and i'd believe you. Blah, setting alarm, i'm gone for another 2 hours...if anyone needs anything i'll be sure call you, goodnight. ~stumbles back to bed~

[green91]

Will we make a fast group and a slow group?

No offense, but can you FWDs take the route @ 60+?

Man youd do well to not make those kinds of comments. s2ks handle good but you obviously dont know the "route". a majority of the route isnt capable of 60+ in any car. Plus i know plenty of FWD that would easily hang/outperform a s2k in the turns, including my old hatch.

[Outphase]

Hey man whats up. LOL I was the one with the red BMW


wrd yo...good times. did you see my rally slide? lol.

[green91]

Im probably going to sit this run out.. theres been way to many bikes in town already yesterday and today and im afraid the law is going to be hot. I may make my way up in the curves later on in the afternoon though.

[JennB]

ACK!
Knowing we were still on BEFORE I went to bed would have been much more benefcial than finding out now.


:hanged:

[JennB]

Dammit... shower... get dressed... get gas... check tires... drive to freaking Dawsonville... the math is not in my favor in any way and I don't want to hold everyone up.

I thought it was off because of the bikes... stayed up late as hell and just woke up maybee 20 minutes ago.


:( that is my sad face

[Kalifornia087]

Yeah, I thought it was going to be at least a couple hours later, And i was happy because i actually came home last night after the drift event instead of staying out. but i should have read this i guess. i woke up like 10:40.

[JennB]

I thought it was just off all together or we were going to Helen. :(

Actually spent part of yesterday looking for an alternate place to go drive today and found one up towards the SC/GA border.

[Kalifornia087]

How far is it from Buford?

[JennB]

How far is what?

[Kalifornia087]

that Other Route?

[JennB]

It's 99 miles from me but I'm probably one of the most in-town people around here... never been there but someone told me it was a cool area. Howevver far you are from Clayton, GA.

[Kalifornia087]

Hmmmm... I always get north and south mixed up, but im pretty sure i am north of ATL by about 35-45 minutes when there isn't any traffic. So i think im closer...

[Kalifornia087]

Ahh Well im off for Some Breakfast.... Have Fun everyone look for me at the next run!

[JennB]

I'm still sad :(

[Kalifornia087]

I'm still sad :(


Aww. don't be sad! There's Always next weekend!!

[JennB]

No can do. I have company. I have at least one, likely two people staying here all weekend a lot planned. :(

[Kalifornia087]

Well.... Damn why you gotta make this hard LoL. cheer up, wait for the next one, tear it up then. Just be happy!

I am now in the process of finding wheels/tires for the car.

I drove an hr, got off and exit freekin 17. Didnt see anyones car. I dont know that area at all, but I decide to drive around. I'm like where in the FK is Home Depot?? Driving driving...now it's like 11:10...still driving. seeing mountains but not shit else....driving. Then at 11:40 I say F it, wherever they are, they've damn sure left me. So I start heading south on 400, and I could have sworn I saw DP going north. FUUUUUUCK!

lol damnit I had like 2 hrs of sleep, all for nothing. BUT, I didnt get a kill on the way up and one on the way back but still. I'm driving all through these country roads in North Bumblefk, Black dude in a black car with black rims....I stuck out like a sore thumb on fire. I cant believe I was at the wrong exit, oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo :rant:

[green91]

the home depot isnt even on an exit. its right off ga400.

[ShooterMcGavin]

yeah well the fucked up thing held us up even more was, when i stopped off at exit 17 and asked someone if there was a HD nearby dude told me to go down to exit 14 :doh: so there went like another 30 min...

That was joel's friend that jason told me about when I called to tell him I didnt get lost? he didnt make it?

[DinanM3atl]

the bike race had nothing to do with the guy laying down his bike... and how do you know he died? last anyone heard he got air lifted out by helicopter... one of nmy good friends was 4 bikes behind the guy that went down so no one knows anything that i know of

i wasn't up there, i was on woody gap...all i know is some official said they were gonna lifeflight him, but didn't cause he died...that may not be the case, and i hope it wasn't...maybe the guy didn't die and will be okay...

[speedminded]

damn guys
we rolled out at seriously 11:45Then went 1/2 mile north to eat and get gas, oh well...always next time. I'll make sure the 18th run is completely legible...i've been copying & pasting the same directions over and over again for over a year without problems.

Speed was a factor with Joel's friend but there was a car stopped in the middle of the road over a hill. He had serious internal injuries and was lifeflighted out.
