    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.)

    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.

    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

    FTZ ^.^

    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.

    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.

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

    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.

    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?

    Waiting on some feedback for this!

    LoveMyNewSoob Member

    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?
     
  41. Redmondson27

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

    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!

  50. LoveMyNewSoob

    LoveMyNewSoob Member

    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?
