sv848evo · 11-19-2018, 02:22 PM

Awesome event, huge thanks to Boof and others for putting everything together. I had a blast. Can't wait til next year!

Awesome to meet everyone. Good times for sure. I posted a lot of images on the FB page, but when I get a second to upload, I'll share them here.

Thanks for letting me take lead on the way back down the Dragon, it was the fastest run I've done up there for sure. Couldn't shake the Vette or GTR, though

It looks like the weather was perfect! Glad you all had a good time!

Who tagged the bear proof trash cans on the upper lookout section of the tail of the dragon? Pretty awesome! Saw it this morning when I stopped off there!

Back to Monday here in VA - car innocently parked as if nothing happened

Shoot me your address and I'll send out the shifter to you. Completely forgot to hand it off!

Had a blast, can't wait until we do it again.

PAMMM V8, glad we connected, it made the long drive to the South fun. The Cherohala Parkway was really nice too, worth doing again...

Boof, you are da man...a timeless bond. And yes, I bought THAT car.

BOOF-M3 · 11-20-2018, 07:48 AM

My only complaint is that it was over so quickly. I will personally do a write up like I did after the run last year with my thoughts of the driving and interactions with everyone there. Y'all should feel free to do the same even if it is long winded. The best part of the trip for me was the people. Saturday evening after the run and most were asleep a few of us were still partying in our cabin and "Jay" jws-928 said "it's about the people". That has always been true in life and it was certainly true then. "It's about the people" will be the theme of my write up. Thank you Jay.

Had an awesome time BOOF-M3 thanks for organizing. Definitely in for next year but I won't be in the same M3 by then haha

For all the hate on the F8X I think I sound pretty good around 1:35 in that video

Kevin, good connecting with you as well. Awesome trip! I will do that trip again in a heartbeat. Enjoy the rest of your road trip and hopefully you make it to the Dallas game on Thursday. I just won't be rooting for a win. GO BIRDS!!!

Wish I saw this a week earlier, would have joined in my E46 M3 since Dragon is somewhat local(Asheville).

Yea we started the thread in May, months ago so that people would have plenty of time to see it and go. Make sure you come to #3.

Mr. BMW · 11-20-2018, 02:56 PM

Glad to see that everyone was on their best behavior coming out of that gas station….

BOOF-M3 · 11-20-2018, 06:13 PM

I adjusted the list of drivers that actually came. Let me know if I missed someone. I. Do believe the list is correct though. 25 cars this go at it and 20 on the 1st Annual... actually 24 cars, Tyler and I ran together and swapped out.

Soon.

Forgot to raffle off the arm rest from Jobe.. Hold your tickets people. We still have the box with the tickets in them so hopefully a winner will be picked and we can have that sent out.

We may also be raffling off thetastelingers friend Seans 1,300hp GTR. Stay tuned for more info on that one.
