Skyline Run III - April 10th
Skyline Run is back for 2010!
You Must sign up at http://www.motorsportreg.com/index.c...A1B129E333ADC0 if you want to go. Fri Apr 10 Sunny Route: http://www.google.com/maps/ms?ie=UTF...47943&t=h&z=11 Google Earth images: Registration page: http://www.motorsportreg.com/index.c...A1B129E333ADC0 Skyline Run is now making the world a better place by donating all money collected to charities This run will be donated to the Fragile X Foundation (video and explanation here:http://www.fragilex.org/html/NFXFgalavideo.htm). Please send the donation to .. on pay pal. Once I have it I'll change your status from NEW to CONFIRMED. Remember to select 'Personal' and 'Gift' when sending the money. Because of the type of roads we'll be on, registration has been capped to 30 cars. Current registration list: A, Nayef Confirmed 2008 BMW M3 Fairfax, VA Althouse, John Confirmed 2007 BMW M Coupe Aldie, VA Carter, James Confirmed 2002 BMW 330I Mineral, VA Clarke, Brian Confirmed 2002 BMW M3 Cross Junction, VA Corcoran, Thomas Confirmed 1998 BMW M3 Convertible Vienna, VA de eskinazis, isak Confirmed 2010 BMW M3 Arlington, VA Diaz, Angel Confirmed 2009 BMW M3 Alexandria, VA Eagan, Marty New 2003 BMW M3 Sunderland, MD Hairston, Brian Confirmed 2009 BMW M3 Coupe Woodbridge, VA Kane, Kevin Confirmed 2009 BMW M3 Sedan Quantico, VA Khan, Adnan Confirmed 2008 BMW M3 Ellicott City, MD Khan, Mahin Confirmed 2005 BMW M3 Hagerstown, MD Kutlu, Mustafa Confirmed 2008 BMW M3 Vienna, VA Rosal, Mark Confirmed 2009 BMW Reston, VA Ruelas, Kevin New 2008 BMW M5 Alexandria, VA Sanju, Rajan Confirmed 2005 BMW Z4 3.0i sport Falls Church, VA Thomas, Daryl Confirmed 2004 BMW 330CI Broadway, VA Tran, Cung Confirmed 2009 BMW M3 Springfield, VA Wojciech, Keith Confirmed 1988 BMW M3 Vienna, VA Webb, Ladson Confirmed 2003 BMW M3 Fairfax, VA Yaman, Metin Confirmed 2008 BMW M5 Mc Lean, VA Yu, Hans Confirmed 2008 BMW M3 Alexandria, VA Just a reminder to anyone reading, all European sport and super cars are welcome. Not just BMWs Details: We will be meeting at the Apple House off Exit 13 on I66 at 10am. There is a commuter parking lot just behind the building where we can all park. The Apple House is famous for its home made donuts. I highly recommend you try some while we're here waiting for everyone to show. The plan is to head out as soon as everyone arrives, sooner the better. We will then be traveling down I66 W to I81 S. and jumping off at exit 291, pulling into Loves Travel Shop on the left to regroup and get ready for the back roads. Don't be stupid on the interstate! We can have fun on the way back but I don't want everyone to get pulled over before we even start From here we're heading out onto Back Rd. and taking it all the way Union Church, stopping there if possible. Then driving through the mountains to Wardensville, WV. NOTE: There is no cell phone service past this point! This is a 1 lane no lines road, its extremely twisty and extremely fun. Cautious drivers in the back, skilled drivers up front, don't cut the blind corners as a pickup truck could be coming the other way. I'll be up front setting a somewhat-safe and fast pace. In Wardensville we'll be eating at a place called Lost River Brewery. They brew their own very popular beers so make sure you try one or maybe take a bottle home. Update: There's a public parking lot 2 buildings down from Lost River, most of us will be able to park there the rest can park on the street. There's also a tiny lot just behind the restaurant. After lunch I was thinking we could go to an overlook just outside Wardensville for a photo shoot before we continue on. Traveling up 55 we'll be stuck behind cars so just expect it. Pulling over at Rt 600 if possible and continuing on to Zepp and the grand finale over the last mountain. Back at Back Rd., cell phone service returns, stopping at Loves to chat and say bye! Remember to bring your cameras and car mounted cams for the video!!!

Hey just out of curiosity, is it going to be strictly a maximum number of 30 participants? I'm worried we might end up getting a little more than anticipated as the weather is shaping up and I'm seeing a lot more exotics on the road than before. Plus word spreads pretty quickly...

I dunno about that tbh, what are you gonna do if you get a lot more cars show up? you can't just turn block them from coming...
In the spirit of the Skyline drives tradition, it shouldn't be restricted because the best part about it is that people would come and invite their pals to show. I think that if you want to make something exclusive it shouldn't be on this drive, perhaps a separate trend that caters just to a smaller crowd.. Dunno if anyone else agrees, but these are my 2 cents... |

I understand but just remember that both of the last 2 runs had less than 30 cars. The problem with having more than that is that we create our own traffic jams, wont have anywhere to park, and we wouldn't fit in a restaurant. That said, invite your friends! No reason they can't come as there's only 5 signed up so far

RE:
hey Darkstar,
I understand there is a FaceBook page for BMW Mid-Atlantic group that was established shortly after the fall Skyline Run. Did you update that page? Might be beneficial to do so to spread the word. or anyone else for that matter... (i don't have Facebook) |

Darkstar--thanks for making this happen--and thank you to every one else for participating and being willing to donate to this charity. I hope to have my son riding with me so everyone can meet just one of the special people they are helping out with their generous donations. I have registered and sent payment.
I would also like to contact the National Fragile X Foundation to order wristbands for everyone if that is OK with Darkstar and the rest of the group. Darkstar--if you have not already done so, and wish to contact the foundation to see if there are other ways to put a face on this event through the foundation, I am more than willing to assist--just send me a PM.
