I'm going to check the dates. I'm a maybe but this sounds exciting. Long drive up from Tampa but maybe I can plan a stop along the way.

Gives a reasonably good perspective. One of the better ones I could find on YT. The action really starts around the 40 second mark.

If I go, I'll be coming from the Tampa area as well. If there's interest, we can set up a caravan for all the Central FL guys.

Count me in! I haven't made it to the previous runs, so need to make it happen this year.

This M3 video is an example of how not to drive the dragon. I lost count how many times the center line was crossed.

Will keep that in mind, but we had radio communication throughout for what was ahead as well as debris in the road.

Overall, a very safe bunch.

Thinking about making the trip down from MD. Have to get some maintenance done on the high mileage M. Hopeful I might be able to make this happen. Sounds like a great time and a needed road trip with some fellow bimmer brothers.

Just make it there, we will have a masseuse set up for you in between Tail runs.
Someone remind me that I owe this man a beer/soda.

Anybody coming from the northeast, lets caravan down! I'm in Maryland. We can take some of the Blue Ridge Parkway. Epic!

DreamTime · 03-22-2022, 10:50 PM

Count me in!! I vote for the Nov 26-27 weekend, if possible. But either way I will make it up. I dug up this pic of my car from the OG 2017 run... good times

Crazy to see my car before all the mods lol... look at those orange reflectors
