Your front ends are going to be trashed...rock chips and salt spray that will make you cry. If i go i'm taping my entire front up and prolly the sideskirts too. Blue or Green painters tape is the best stuff in the world when it comes to this....take a little quick detail spray, wipe, and apply.

ya i live in dahlonega on 60 and my brother is a wera racer who rides and we drive some so i know i little about the mountains i was up in suches a week or two ago and it was crapy , also we have had bad weather all this week so like every winter the roads will suck, and of course theres a few corners that never dry out so ya bad time of year for mountain runs.

**Danny** · 02-10-2006, 04:39 PM

DinanM3atl, i kinda want to go ridding somtime this weekend. Up for a backroad crusie around here, and dinner? Gonna throw the M up on stands tonight. take a look at the suspension. got a clicking in the front right.. hmmm

**06SilverBullet** · 02-10-2006, 06:15 PM

Hey Bri,

Was that the last mountain run that Keith was in charge of?. I can't believe that people just can't drive sane up there. It is easy to go straight off the mountain if you are not careful.

**green91** · 02-11-2006, 09:31 AM

it rained here last night, unless theres a good wind today, i doubt most of the roads will be dry sunday

**EvasiveEF9** · 02-11-2006, 12:33 PM

Yeah, I'm in woodstock, which is a distance from the mtns, but it's WET here...I think it might be best to put off...i'll still go if others do though, but I'll be babying it. I may not have paint...but I still have a life I wanna keep.

To he who's losing his license, what the hell'd you do?

**camrycivic** · 02-11-2006, 01:36 PM

took my girl to woodstock at 4 am and got arrested for liein to police and speeding behind the cop

**EvasiveEF9** · 02-11-2006, 01:42 PM

Charged for obstruction and speeding? Woodstock's NOT the place to speed. 92 is crawled with them. I live off 92 across the street from where they sit. Luckily, most of the cops that patrol have gotten used to seeing my car and know i live right there, so they don't follow anymore.

Is it your first charge? What about No-lo?
Or ask for pre-trial conference, listen to the man, and request a conditional plea.

I don't know if they have it, but several counties have programs for first-time offenders and such. How fast were you going and are those the two you were charged with?

Gah, don't get off topic in the thread...PM me...

**ProjectWidow** · 02-11-2006, 04:21 PM

I stay it would be best if we wit till the 19th and see if the weather is better. Supposed to get even colder tonight and chance of Flurries / Wind.
Im out for tomorrow. Maybe the 19th will be better

**camrycivic** · 02-11-2006, 04:54 PM

**camrycivic** · 02-11-2006, 04:56 PM

**Elbow** · 02-12-2006, 01:21 AM

I went to the mountains today, saw a Elise with front end damage

Anyway it was kind of slippery, but pretty.

**Allmota** · 02-12-2006, 02:30 AM

**camrycivic** · 02-12-2006, 11:38 AM

**green91** · 02-12-2006, 01:22 PM

its going to be nasty up here on the 19th. i went up the mountains today, we had atleast 1 inch of snow nearly everywhere up here. 60 was completely iced up and had alot of gravel and salt.. it wont be cleared away by next weekend.

**EvasiveEF9** · 02-12-2006, 02:38 PM

I think it might be in everyone's (especially noobs ot these) to wait til weather warms a bit...

I wasn't even gonna attempt to go up, i don't mind it being slippery but i hate getting rocks chips from all the gravel and salt.

sirhatch1030, you've got a PM

**EvasiveEF9** · 02-13-2006, 07:13 PM

I'd tell oyu where up there we run, but I don't know it by name. Just sight.
So for that I'll tell ya how to get there...

Ya go up yunder a little ways and turn. Go a littly further yunder and turn again. Once you get about sixty seconds down the road you gonna curve left. That's paved-way number one...go until you get to 1/4 tank of gas, and turn right...

Sorry I can't be more helpful

**EvasiveEF9** · 02-17-2006, 07:23 PM

So what's it lookin' like for THIS weekend?

**green91** · 02-17-2006, 07:43 PM

the roads arent to bad. whiney bitches need not come up though.

**EvasiveEF9** · 02-17-2006, 08:03 PM

I drive a primered civic. I'm no whiny bitch

But at the same time, I don't wanna go alone, y'know?

**green91** · 02-17-2006, 08:53 PM

**ProjectWidow** · 02-18-2006, 12:03 AM

Do you know if there is lots of salt and gravel on the roads? Last week someone posted a pic of snow on the roads. If it's not like that then I may go and just cruise throught the mountains.

**EvasiveEF9** · 02-18-2006, 12:10 AM

One of my boys just left here headed that direction. When he comes down for the show here tomorrow, I'll ask him how it was.

**green91** · 02-18-2006, 10:28 AM

there is some gravel on the sides of course but a majority of the roads are fairly clear

**HiPSI** · 02-18-2006, 10:30 AM

**green91** · 02-18-2006, 10:33 AM

yeah i was just looking at that. we'll have to see how much we actually get, if we even get anything at all. planning a winter mtn run is difficult lol

**camrycivic** · 02-18-2006, 11:05 AM

**green91** · 02-18-2006, 01:51 PM

**green91** · 02-18-2006, 03:16 PM

I call shotgun if you go up

**EvasiveEF9** · 02-19-2006, 02:47 PM

I didn't go, I got a little depressed with the outcome of yesterday's show.

Looking forward to when it's dry up there...

**JDMBoostedMR2** · 02-22-2006, 02:12 AM

We need to do the tail of the dragon. I went up there back in October with MR2board.com and it was a blast. Definately not for inexperienced drivers though.

**EvasiveEF9** · 02-22-2006, 07:55 PM

So I've heard...and was actually invited. However, I had a not-so-perfect front caliper, bald tires, and rear drums. All of which have been fixed...I want to get a group to spend a weekend up there.

I'll be up in Dahlonega this weekend by popular demand by several of my friends. I've heard mix-and-match of if it'll be dry or rainy...still waiting for a def yes or no on either.

**green91** · 02-23-2006, 06:56 PM

if its nice this weekend, ill be up in the curves.

**EvasiveEF9** · 02-23-2006, 07:29 PM

Give me a call if you head up...

404.452.2215 is my cell, my name is Ben.
