lt1_fd3s · 10-20-2009, 08:40 AM

he's been kickin' some ass!!!

no problem phil, get yourself fixed... the parkway will be there when your all better and you're always welcomed to come up and have me play tour guide (ask Jamin and Toby)

t_g_farrell · 10-20-2009, 08:56 AM

What about dinner plans for Saturday? Need to figure out what to pack in the cooler besides beer

lt1_fd3s · 10-20-2009, 09:48 AM

last year we had a cooler of food we forgot at the house!!! so me and greg ran into cherokee and picked up food for grilling at the camp site. then we discovered the fun of putting out a flaming marshmellow with various sodas... caramelized soda on marshmellow = YUMMY!!!

hot dogs - hamburgers - fire wood - chips - smores

Dude you have it backwards. A leisurely cruise would be way more abuse than running at redline all day. If i make it I'll have to be at redline at least twice or she won't be happy.

i was thinking a mid-night run!!! =] and you can hit red-line there... i understand track days are rare... and the parkway is always there (may not always be open, but is always there...)

Who is leaving from the ATL, GA area and what time?

88turboii · 10-20-2009, 07:42 PM

ok SC people are meeting in columbia at Rush's on Harbison Blvd at 6:30PM Friday. we will caravan to Asheville from there

***ZGN*** · 10-20-2009, 08:56 PM

I was thinking of meeting up with some ATL people but I guess no one is comming

lt1_fd3s · 10-21-2009, 06:59 AM

updated, check OP... road closures... detour route listed...

UPDATE!!! - 10 / 21 / 2009
Due to closures on the parkway, we will make a slight detour. We will meet up with some people around NC 191 and then take that exit off the parkway (in west asheville area) and make our way to NC 151 to get back on the parkway.

as listed per http://www.nps.gov/blri/planyourvisit/roadclosures.htm

Quote:

Due to heavy rains, engineers determined that a high risk of slides existed in the area, necessitating this emergency closure. The closure will be in place until further notice. Pisgah Inn remains open and accessible from US Highway 276 at Wagon Road Gap.

8 miles south of the 191 access to the parkway, the road is closed. Nice concrete barriers and everything. But the road re-opens 4 miles north of the NC 151 access to the parkway, 5 or 6 miles total i believe. The detour is considerably shorter than if we had to make our way to 276 and we miss only about 16 miles of the parkway. Some of the people on here know 151 well...

lt1_fd3s · 10-21-2009, 07:00 AM

Holly and Jeremy are coming up from Atlanta, they will be leaving out of Atlanta about 7:30 and getting up here about 10:30 to meet up with us.

(their discussion on the club...)

Does that fit within your schedule? Or should we meet at that spot a little later? 10:30 or so?

and then:

Try PMing ROTORX7Holly. She's coming up with Jeremy I believe and is meeting up at 191 with for the drive out on Saturday.

Ok I see Traynham beat me too it. Anyway, they're out of ATL.

t_g_farrell · 10-21-2009, 08:22 AM

Whose coming from Charlotte?

I was thinking of heading west on 73 and taking 321 to 40 and over to
Asheville. Probably leave around 5:45 a.m. to get to breakfast at 8.

Let me know if anyone wants to caravan up with me. I can adjust my
time to meet up with folks if needed. I know a bunch from S.C. are
heading up but I'm not sure what they're route will be.

BigIslandSevens · 10-21-2009, 08:48 AM

Tim, If we end up going you can swing by my place or I can meet you in Denver @150/16. I go to 40 via 16. Takes the same amount of time as hitting 321 in Lincolnton

I hate being a contract worker. We always get screwed fist when bill time comes. Makes budgeting real fun

Anywho. I'll know Friday at the latest. I'll call you then one way or the other. I really want to go.

I texted Robbie yesterday about the cruise, haven't heard back. I will try him again. Stu said he was trying to go. But I do not believe his car will be back together by then. But he may have buttoned it up.Or he may steal the Miata I would imagine.

t_g_farrell · 10-21-2009, 08:54 AM

Dave sounds good. I haven't heard from Stu yet. I think he's still busy piecing things back together.
