Wanted to see what the E93 could do. It's a lot louder also. Wanted to hear her rumbling through the mountains.

Hey guys, got here earlier and took a ride on the dragon! Road is great, much better than last year! Lol..... looking forward to seeing everyone in the morning!

Unfortunately killboy has already cleaned out shop for the season so they won’t be open tomorrow...

He might have a chance on the downhill portion, carrying all that momentum

@BOOF-M3 It's 3:47am. I would've texted you. But it's too late. Unfortunately, my brother who was driving his Mercedes behind me got into an accident on 75 close to Lexington. We had a friends that live in Lexington that came and helped us out. We are at their house now. The roads are very slick in some places. Unfortunately, I don't think I can drive anymore. It's a 12 hour drive from my house. I was half way there! Can't believe this. I'm so mad.

Fortunately, my brother is good. The car will need a new front bumper, hood, radiator and a few other things.

Please save my shirt. Lol.

Up in the NW we have a rule, all cars are welcome sans Mercs.

Can't wait to see pics!

Photo Dump from Saturday. I have video, but it needs work. Too much wind noise.

Waking up Saturday morning to lots of BMWs in the parking lot!

Much fun was had. There are lots of people still there, so they are probably driving roads right now.

I'll upload the movie of everyone leaving to come to the top of the dam and post it up in a few.

thetastelingers · 11-18-2018, 07:20 AM

Ok here is the video of them leaving the lower section. A little windy, but there are still good V8 sounds.

angy · 11-18-2018, 10:33 AM

Thank you so much to those of you who took the time to organize this..and for inviting me to join in. Even though unable to stay as long as I wanted to it was such an awesome experience. Some great people doing something so much damñ fun for a wonderful cause. What more could you ask for. (Except maybe to do it more often than once a year ? haha! )

spazzyfry123 · 11-18-2018, 03:22 PM

Just got back home. Absolute blast with everyone. Glad to have some laughs with a great crowd. Can't wait to join up again!

Angy, it was awesome to meet you in person! We'll do VIR in the fall next year for sure, I'll keep you posted.

Get lit · 11-18-2018, 09:13 PM

Wow..... such an awesome event! Big thanks to everyone for making this happen! Kinda quiet here at Fontana tonight, haven’t heard the wonderful sounds of an M3 crank up and drive by. Hope everyone has safe travels back home! And Boof, I really hope your tire holds up on your ride home! Checking out in the morning and then going to run the dragon before I head out!
