We waited for ya but you didn't appear after 15 mins.... The 4th picture is the road that we commandeered as we waited. Next time drive faster!!!
Here are some pics from the run. The weather held out great on our way to Stratton Mtn, VT. It did rain on the way home a bit. But it was a great time and no one was left bloody in a raveen or at the bottom of a cliff! YAY!

Haha. Was definately awesome. The first time we went it was great with 3-4 people and the pace was FAST. This time we really kept up the pace even with 17-18 cars. And damn, am I the only one who was absolutely exhausted? Not because I got up early, but because of roughly 3+ hrs of driving 70 mph or more, on curvy, elevation changing roads.
Next time we do this will be in the Spring. We had 18 this time so without the thread of rain and the third running, I think we will have upwards of 30 Z/G.
Great time. For all of you who didn't got and were on the list -- shame on you! It was ENTIRELY worth it (and gas is cheap in VT
).

I'm making this sound like it was a dangerous experience...but I never once lost control or slid or drifted even one bit. I drove within the limits of my ability and comfort level...well, within my ability...my comfort level got stretched a lil bit. LOL

).big ups for puttin this together. too bad the top had to come up. I know the wind was feelin good before the rain. I was still amped up after the run I had to let it out on rt 1 north in revere, ma lol belive it or not the whole evolution from my house in RI to the friendly's in westfield, ma to VT to the car wash in boston took about 380 miles and only 1 whole tank of gas. yay for that. I'll be in theater next spring when part 3 goes down but hopefully when i come hope for leave in the fall of next year you guys can put part 4 together. I should have my stage 2 and suspention overhauled by then.

I was driving fast but you guys were driving faster. In the mountains of Vermont, going DOWNHILL on a wet mountain road, taking a sharp turn with little or no shoulder...speed limit said 35 mph (for dry conditions) and you guys were going at least 55 or 60 mph...damn...lol I don't have the confidence or experience to handle that. I always caught up in the straightaways though - I felt like I was racing to keep up - but it helped me explore the car a bit more (which is still just 4 months old). Had a great time, but next time I hope the roads are dry, and I'll have new tires...
