Take Over 285

Just an Idea, Wanted to see if sometime in this near future, we could possibly get as many people together and roll in a pack around the entire 285 loop. Last time I saw this done was in Maryland. (Of course right after I sold my Original Subaru in 2004.)

Again it's an idea that I've been thinking about. If anyone else thinks it's possible or wishes to help and participate. Lets get the ball rolling. Obviously its going to be hard with everyone's unique schedules. (Trust me, I know I am a single father of a young daughter, but she loves the Scooby.)

 

I'm totally down!

 

alright then, that's awesome. Lets start seeing if we can get more together, It would be awesome to get atleast 80-90% of WRXAtlanta together for a group ride, show off our presence here in Atlanta.

 

im down but ill be in my truck due to my on going build on my wrx. could get some good pics sitting high up

 

Post it up on the WRXATL FB page too.

 

I'm in, just set the date WELL beforehand.

 

i'm down

 

I'm in.

 

In...if I am around for the date!

 

What date are we thinking for this. If it's in July I know I'll be available. GF is leaving for a month and a half haha.

 

I'd be down for sure!

 

In

 

Sounds cool!

 

Keep in mind that 50% of them no longer drive Subaru's.

 

I don't think the leaf pile would make it around 285 and if it did it would take 48 hours

 

We all need to meet somewhere near the perimeter, drive 1 mile together in caravan, then split so we can all make it home on our charge. Would be the best meet ever.

 

Went to the Florida club's event in February, it was cool to see well over 100 Subaru's in a line, just to get to the starting point, and eventually over 200 started.

Seemed like as with most events, 50% of RSVP's showed up; they were going for a guiness record for the most subaru's in a caravan, and were a bit short. Still fun though.

 

At one point, we all got together for photos at RA. It was for our 555ish member I think. Anyway, I took the photos and it WAS bad ass to see 150+ cars rollin' into the track. We also got a corral at the Petit too, it was a great way to show off our "clubs" numbers.

 

Count me in!!

 

This photo It was great

 

any updates on this?

 

My HD crashed with all those images years ago. I never had a BU of them, either. That's pretty much when I learned why a BU system is kind of important.

 

I could bring the STi out. She has been a little lonely lately.

 

i'm totally down for this. We had 5 of us leaving the dinner meet tuesday and that was fun enough haha

 

Until we hit that awful construction. Then It was 20 minutes of clutch leg cramp.

 

Thank God I was going the other direction

 

I had decided just to kind of run around 285 for kicks and giggs, had some fun in traffic, but i swear the guy who had that ridiculous turbo set up on his kept blowing my doors off. Shook my bugeye when he zoomed by. Japanese muscle is the best.

 

LOL sorry, Jeff bowman insisted I act like a hooligan for his viewing pleasure.

 

No complaints on my side. Just gives me inspiration for what the future could hold, power wise.

 

I keep passing quite a few WRX/STi's and think it would be fun to drive around 285 with a bunch of them...so, any updates on this?

 

I'm down!

 

Maybe we should start some discussion about this at dinner next tuesday. See if we can't get plans in the works.

 

Im down!

 

any new developments on this one?

 

Waiting on some feedback for this!

 

Ok, let's get some info started then:

1) I am assuming it will be on a weekend correct?
2) Morning, evening? With this being football season, should we shoot for a morning?
3) I think it is safe to assume we can leave out holiday weekends.
4) Just a thought as I am sure if/when we get this together, people will have camera's and go-pro's running...would it be worth it to plan it for leaf changing season?

 

Lets do it. I'm thinking pretty early morning on a weekend... Traffic is bad even on weekends by about 1030-11.....

 

Haha Sorry everyone, I'm glad to see so many people willing to do this. Can everyone swing september 13 or 14? we can meet somewhere near Smyrna, and then jump and take over the two left lanes of 285 and circle ATL. Just let me know. for a more direct response email me at: redmondson27@gmail.com

 

Go-pro's and even dropping off into downtown scenic areas and shooting is awesome. Just let the ideas flow, lets get this set up and commence on it!:sx:

 

I think we might need more than a couple days notice for everyone
I can't do this weekend as I am prepping the car for a track day next Friday at amp
Maybe shoot for mid to late October?

 

That works. let's see what date everyone can agree on, I'm open to any ideas.

 

I'm interested in this. I recently got a 11 wrx a few months ago and would like to meet the people here

 

I'm interested also, just let me know when and where and I'm there.

 

Agreed. Ive got to go get a wrecked wrx this weekend. And I need to get a GoPro. But lets make this happen!

 

I'm up for this as well! Let's get a date figured out - this would be fun

 

Still in whenever we get something planned. Maybe by then I'll have perfected my GoPro rig. I have an external mic coming in soon.

 

So, I guess we should start with some dates then...I'll start...

October 25th (GA (not my team) is off that week) - go vols!

 

I don't "sports" so this works for me as well.

 

Roll Tide hnoes:

I'm ok with the 25th, Just have to tune the radio to the game!

 

HA! I thought that might start some things.
We should be done by any game time right? Maybe, a plan to end at a sports bar could be in the works too?
