Mid-Atlantic blat in September

[slngsht]

Alright fellows,

 

Here are the current plans:

Meeting point: Harrisonburg, VA

Destination: Snowshoe, WV

When: Departing Sept 15, Returning Sept 16

In case of rain: Departing Sept 22, Returning Sept 23

 

This blat will feature about 3 hours of switchback moutain roads. Speed limit on these roads is generally 55, with VERY little traffic.

 

Snowshoe resort has resturaunts and other "resort stuff", including golf, if you're into it.

 

If you want to go on the cheap, I can find a place for you to crash at my brother's place.

 

You have to be a club member to attend - If you went to 7/7/7, you are already a member. Otherwise contact me.

 

I'm looking for 5 or 6 other cars to make this a go.

 

BTW, my car will only make the trip to WV. I will need a ride back. She is staying there for some serious modding.

 

This thread will be moved to the Mid-Atlantic region in a couple of days.

Got your email and replied. It's all good :yesnod:

[slngsht]

so far I have seen 2 raised hands...

[EburgE]

How do I say this? I have an Elise. And I'm afraid to try to keep up.

 

:cheers: :banghead: :leaving: :grouphug: :hurray:

[slngsht]

Hey Harold, come play with us :grouphug:

 

It's more about having a good time with good company than driving 10/10

[slngsht]

TTT

 

I think so far we have Dermot, Harold (if we can get him away from spit shining his car parts :jester: ), myself, and probably Scott Lentz (he will get back to me this week).

 

I heard a rumor that Al is planning to go down south for a blat that weekend. I can't believe he would pass this up :bigears:

If my front suspension is rebuilt in time and I recieve my tags I can go.

[EburgE]

You guys are killing me. I will ask Mommy.

 

Now I have to decide whether to show up in the Elise, or bring the 4Runner full of engine parts.

My nephew is a bit of a Toyota nut... if you bring the 4Runner, I'm not sure if it'll be safe to leave it unattended. You might be missing a few parts on the trip back

 

Bring the Elise.

Shhhh

 

Actually I'm not sure if I'll make it up unfortunately. We play Ohio that weekend at home. We'll see though, maybe I'll run up for the evening and be there Sunday.

Is the head gasket reuseable??

 

 

[slngsht]

He replaced that, and she's running fine now :thumbs:

At the TOTG one night going from the Fontana Lodge back to Meet I couldn't loose the tail lights in my rear mirror. Is that when it blew?:bigears:

The head gasket in question is on his rock crawler.
