Deals Gap pictures *56k beware*

First off, what a crazy weekend. We met alot of awesome people and had a blast!

I want to thank Billy from ReSpeed for letting us hang out with him all weekend and letting us crash in his cabin when there was no other place to stay.

Our trip started out late, we didn't meet up with the rest of the caravan at Windsor like we were supposed to because of some last minute hold ups, but we did end up catching up with everyone early Friday morning.

Our first hold up on the road was when our truck was overheating, I bought a whole case of breast cancer water to fill the truck up with. It took the whole case!



Friday morning at the Days Inn, Ian trying to get his Haltech working



On the wet road again. I have amazing photo skillz as you can tell.

We had to actually drive through the Gap to get to the resort, so I consider myself a hero for making it through with the F250 and 24' enclosed trailer
Heres some pics I took while driving through with the truck













This was right at the start of the Gap on Saturday

Heres our truck and the GTX we brought to rip the Gap with at the start






We found a nice gravel road that branched off the Gap so we figured the 323 needed to explore it It was crazy!







Heres some random sights of the area

Awesome shots Joe. Not bad for someone that's driving at the same time. I've got a few that I'll post here at some point.

MUST go next year. Hopefully I won't have all my money and time tied up rebuilding the race car and will be able to make it down.

More like RPM didnt like the new 50 over and your fucked law. Just kidding, the cop was waiting for them.

Sam- It's time for you to start saving so you can come next year. You will regret not coming.

Ok, I'm convinced. I'm going to start rolling my spare change now so we can go down next year. Maybe take the RX8 I suppose, good road trip car (except the mileage).

Yeah the RX-2 didn't even make it to the boarder, just 2 hours before we were ready to leave I got nailed just entering a blind 60km/h zone doing 115km/h apparently. So the RX-2 is now sitting in the impound.

Yea it was great meeting everyone face to face! Seemed like a great turn out and some good people.

Hope my kid didn't harass you guys to much He says exactly what is on his mind, usually when everyone else would keep it to themselves. Everyone says hes a man trapped in a little kids body

Glad I could help with the room situation. Did not turn out to be a bad stay once we found out it was 4 times the size than we thought

Hope to see everybody again soon.

damn man, that's terrible. sorry to hear about that misfortune.
your trip looked amazing, that road looks like something from a video game!
I think my favorite pics out of the lot were of the 323 tho, it looked like the funniest little car in the world 2 rip around in.
