Mountain Run 2/12/06 ?

**ProjectWidow** · 02-05-2006, 01:05 AM

If the weather permits would anyone be interested in going on a mountain run next Sunday the 12th? There shouldn't be any rain and looks like it should be in the mid to upper 40's. I guess when it gets closer to next Sunday then we can get a definite answer if we are going or not. Anyone up for it?
Still unsure about if we are going the 12th or the 19th. Depending on the weather we will see which day is better or if some people still want to go on both.

Meeting spot is at the Homedepot by the Outlet Malls right after 400 ends at 10am.
Address of the Homedepot
801 Hwy 400 South
Dawsonville, GA 30534
(706)531-0046

I'll edit this post when people answer to see how many people are interested.

**Boosted S60R** · 02-05-2006, 11:01 AM

**Deaf Pimp** · 02-05-2006, 12:51 PM

I'll go, but 40's here means its colder in the mtns... which is not good for tires. We'll see.

**camrycivic** · 02-05-2006, 01:19 PM

oh and dude its 06 not 05 any more

**Danny** · 02-05-2006, 01:33 PM

I got it back, so I want to see how she can do now because last time I drove a TL.

Im just hoping the temperature will get warmer.

**Danny** · 02-05-2006, 02:33 PM

yea 40s are little low. but i got soft tires.. and i dont even come close to pushing my car.. so its all gravy.

I guess we'll make a decision later on this week to see if people still want to go even with it being kinda cold.

**EvasiveEF9** · 02-05-2006, 03:08 PM

Experienced and ready if my car will stop dickin' me around.

As for meeting grounds, when I go with the Vortex, we meet in the parking lot behind on the Chevron off Exit 14 on Highway 400...it's a good place to meet, easy access, and not too far from the mtns.

As for those who are concerned with tires...unless you have soft tires, your tires won't really be too different in this temperature as opposed to say 60degree weather...or from my experience it hasn't differed much, but I run Fuzions. What we'd REALLY need to watch for is salt and sand and gravel in the mtns.

To anyone with a good paintjob...you need to HIGHLY consider getting masking tape for the front end of your car...
like so:

The cool kids do it...

**LG8** · 02-05-2006, 03:17 PM

I am i haven't had the oppertunity to go to the mountains since i got my car in the winter.Please PM me i will go if it is one car or one hundred......

PS:JoKER is that the same masking tape you can get in the paint department at HomeDepot or is it autobody...........

**EvasiveEF9** · 02-05-2006, 03:23 PM

The paint shown above is just home-depot blue masking tape. The only job of the tape is to block some of the little chips and gravel. Obviously if the chunks are too big, the tape can't do much to save it, but it sure does help.
If you double up, it'd probably help more, but when we went with single-layer of it...it seemed to work just fine...

I've got primer, so I just go naked with no worries. But I'd advise taping up as much of your headlights as possible (or all...weather permitting) and as much paint as possible. There's no protection for your windshield except to keep a little distance between you and the car in front of you.

If you're inexperienced, just hang to the back til you get a feel for it. Otherwise, let me show you how a Fiero ended up that thought he was hot-shit...

So just be careful up there, whether I go or not, and don't exceed your limits. This is real life. There's no restart button.

**camrycivic** · 02-05-2006, 07:32 PM

yeah ull be showing me im a good driver but never been to this place so ill need to get a feel for it

**98Impreza234** · 02-05-2006, 08:03 PM

Yeah this sounds fun im in.

**DinanM3atl** · 02-05-2006, 08:17 PM

Im in as long as this doesnt turn into "ive got bigger balls than (next driver), even though I have ZERO track experience..."

**Stormhammer** · 02-05-2006, 09:14 PM

if I can get a stainless steel brake line for a 3000gt/stealth for my rear brake lines so I can get my rear brakes working ( and not understeer so badly omg )

then I'm in

(see sig pic

)

**§treet_§peed** · 02-05-2006, 09:25 PM

**atl suby** · 02-05-2006, 10:24 PM

Well if it turns into that with morons thinking they are Kimi then I will turn around and leave...

IMHO if you have never been on a REAL race track(not drag strip or autocross) then you should not really be driving all that fast on the street...

The last time we went, everyone drove as fast or slow as they were comfortable. No one did anything stupid and thats what made it even better

**Nemesis** · 02-05-2006, 10:37 PM

Just watch out for bikes lol. Id be up for this fellas, but I cant risk screwing my car up after registering for Taledega. lol

every run i've ever been on with the IA crowd has gone that way... and i do the same thing when people begin with the stupidity.

to everyone else:
there WILL be salt/gravel all over the roads since we have a pretty good bit of winter weather moving in tonight and it won't just go away over the week. it will gather along the sides and middle of the roads, so if you run off-line a bit and you're acting a fool then you will have a bad day (and everyone else will because they will feel obligated to stay/help you but deep down inside they will be cursing your existence).

Damn I didn't even think about the salt on the road. We may have to change this to the 19th.

**green91** · 02-05-2006, 10:44 PM

im liable to tag along.

Hey Gene, I went last year the weekend they laid down the salt. Roads were clear but the salt was all over the place. I ended up having to repaint my entire front end after that mtn run. I'll probably end up passing on this....

**429bigblock** · 02-05-2006, 11:22 PM

hey im probally in and if any of you guys want practice there is a little road around that is just like a mountain road ive seen a m3 and a 240 wreck and thats just who went with me so if you want some practice pm me and ill tell you a good road

**429bigblock** · 02-05-2006, 11:23 PM

i do it a couple times a week and i havent wrecked.. yet, its deff a rush tho

**D16Civic** · 02-05-2006, 11:25 PM

i might be down for this, im just not sure what i have goin on so ill have to wait and see

**Danny** · 02-06-2006, 12:26 AM

didnt even think about salt/sand/ect.... hmmm rethinking. thanks erin, good call.

**mnjh94** · 02-06-2006, 01:45 AM

sound like fun.. lmk. i want to come too

**DinanM3atl** · 02-06-2006, 01:55 AM

im out if salt... i fixed my car after it went through a chicago winter... salt SUCKS...
...

Just a reccomendation... the person in charge of setting up these Mountain Runs needs to lay down the rules... When we had these cruises in chciago with my chicago BMW club... if you dicked around the president of Eurotek would just call in your plates to the police and tell them where we were going to be stopping... so don't dick around... its really not that cool... who cares how loud your exhaust and intake is... its supposed to be a cruise... not a race...

**XBLG20** · 02-06-2006, 03:09 AM

I might go on this one as long as my car is out of the shop

**GirlieZ** · 02-06-2006, 03:37 AM

im in as long as my new rims get here...running slicks on the z haha

**green91** · 02-06-2006, 08:50 AM

we didnt get any bad weather up here last night, im sure by the weekend there will be very minimal salt/gravel.

**{X}Echo419** · 02-06-2006, 09:52 AM

if it's dry I'm in. what time is everyone thinking about going?
To those of you who haven't been.. We had a blast last time! But it was warmer and there was salt and minimal gravel.

**EvasiveEF9** · 02-06-2006, 11:14 PM

Who all is definitly in?
