    Be careful up there. Here is what happened on the s2000 dragon run last weekend:

    Guy apparently lifted in a turn, went 200ft down the mountain side, a tree stopped him, surviving with a broken arm, and gash on his head.

    Jason we can do that and then head from there. I think Keegan is trying to get his friend with an s2000 to come. But we'll discuss tomorrow as I assume we are still hanging out for the ufc.

    bluetwo Active Member

    Yeah! I definitely wanna meet somebody on Barrett. That'd be way better than trying to find that damn Home Depot. I really don't know my way around too well. :hsugh:
     
  20. bomjoon

    bomjoon Active Member


    no~!!!

    its homedopot in exit 14 on 400 @ 11.

    bluetwo Active Member

    Got it. ...

    I'll see if I can find this so-called Exit 14. I just don't know 400 very well at all. Google maps will save me!

    Lol.
     
  22. bomjoon

    bomjoon Active Member

    1.when you roll up 400 take exit 14
    2.turn right towards buford.
    3.turn yo head slightly left (45*)
    4.look for intersection with a carwash.
    5.turn left.
    6.go about 1/4 mile HD is on right.

    or ... call for directions. or if you gots a radio just start babbling and we will pick up.

    but in order for you to use option # 3 you would first have to know what channel we are on. or you could try all channels. lol

    I just wanna be sure man, cause I wanna meet at the BP too.

    So is it the one right off the exit like across the road from Starbucks? On the right if you get off 75 going North?... I do know where that's at.

    And yeah that'll be awesome of those dudes in the other makes come too. Especially the balla in the 360 :eek3: .......

    yeah i hope they turn up....my friend scott doesn't know them too well...so it's tentative.

    The BP on barrett pkwy is right by I-75 yes but it's on the other side of barrett from the chilis...it's right below usplay. I'm pretty sure it's the only bp on the main stretch of barrett.

    see you in the AM.

    here's my cell anyone who needs it 6783601862. this message will self destruct in ....3....2.....1....*****

    I got some pics. It'll be a while before I can post em cause I have to host em and crap.

    I'd say we had between 13 and 15 at one point or another. The NSX and LS1 RX7 were pretty crazy plus all the Subies kicked ass.

    I think we all had at least one wheel up in the air at one point or another, but we really didn't get too carried away.

    Ok. That didn't take as long as I thought it would. Luckily photobucket resizes everything for you. :D Here's the Mtn. cruise as seen from my little camera.

    That's funny you should ask. I wasn't there for for anything that could've qualified as that so I'll save that for someone else to answer. :ddirty:

    kinda but not really. another driver stopped in the middle of a turn and waved to an officer and complained after one group had passed him. when we stopped at the little walasi-yi shack the cop came in and said it was keegan and I, even tho we were doing maybe 25-35 in that particular corner as we were right behind the cadillac when he slammed on brakes. basically, he just gave us all verbal warning and tried to sound like he had more on us than he did. but the fact is, at that point we were all (our group at least) going pretty slow and the cadillac driver was just pissed that we were loud and capable of driving faster than he was.

    Nice pics. Sorry I missed it. Haven't been to the mtns in about a year. I have to admit, I have been a little shy ever since Brian's $1500 incident. That's a year of track days....

    :hsnono: Was that picture of Milo's bugeye really necessary to post?. Let's not bring up bad memories of that day. It was an unfortunate incident and I am just glad that Milo and Drew are still alive......A lot has been learned from that day, but mountain runs shouldn't be stopped by any means...just be safe and cautious and aware of your surroundings and also respect the bikers...both types, and be patient with the other drivers...that is what I have learned from the 3 or 4 mountain runs or cruises I have been on. They are what you make them, and if you want to act a fool....you will probably end up dead or injured....just my .02 cents....;)

    Hey guys,

    That run was absolutely great. I was in the 06 WRB STI with mud flaps. Nice meeting you all. I tried to not lag too far behind you guys but I just couldn't pull it off.:bowdown:

    Towards the end, I think we might have pushed a bit more than the Mr. Cadillac would approve (frankly I got scary as well :eek3:) but generally it was awesome. I drove like a granny after the officer gave us warning though, because I can't afford another ticket, haha. (I still don't understand what that biker guy was talking about)

    Here are some videos taken from the perspective of 25B RSTi. (download and see rather than live stream)
    Video 1
    Video 2
    Video 3

    Finally, heres the gang; if you don't wanted to be exposed on the web, please let me know - I will take it down ASAP.
