Jeff - sign me up as a maybe, cool? I need new tyres and so I'm not sure I'll get them in time (hence the maybe)...

Also, could you add the DINOSAUR meet with a tentative date to be determined (sometime in March) to tshared?

Thanks dude.. hope you had a great trip to Florida...

The place that we are stoping for lunch is to die for (and inexpensive) http://www.bacchusnewpaltz.com/ and well worth the trip up. Help make an awesome day even better by coming out.

Sounds like a good time, Stupidfun and Mr. C

Just kidding... I would love to meet up with you - just need new tyres.. this week will have to be done and then head up your way..

Is this a spirited run? If so, perhaps I should wait on the tyres...

New tires? Who needs new tires?? My back tires have been below spec since the dragon last year. They used to be on the front . oh oh oh!! AND I have a TPM light on because there's a nail on the front driver-side tire, AND I'm still going on the run.

New tires should not be an excuse to miss a run, unless of course they're bald... but then maybe they'll act more like slicks... would that be more of a reason to come out?

I googled Montgomery and it said 20% chance of snow flurries? That might be one excuse not to run bald tires..

I'll make it down in the spring when I'm off the Blizzaks and the weather has a better chance, guys.

Bald Tires + Snow/Ice = More out of control fun!

I love pulling my e-brake. Very ergonomic to pull while driving, I mean parking.

MSF doesnt need the ebrake to get it side ways. I know from experience he has getting it sideways down to a science.

Summary of Run

Great run today through some of the best roads I have seen. Thanks MiniStupidFun that was a insane route you planned out. Nothing better then seeing Turbomini going sideways around a turn or two

Hey Jeff, I thought what happens on the run stays on the run... Oh wait is that ONLY Vegas? sssshhhhh

And yes my car is put back together for the most part. I still have to have the bonnet stripes applied and the scoop has to be wet sanded, but beyond that all is good

Great run today! can't wait for the next one. The "Dan's Going Away and everyone will miss him Run." Can someone come up with something more creative than that?

Glad the weather cooperated. I saw a 20% chance of flurries in Montgomery and decided not to make the trek down till fairer days. This spring!
