I'll start making a list..

1. jdtanksley
2. PureMdMa

SPICcnmGT

I can if you need me if not I'm good with that too!! If you get enough I'd be more than willing to let someone else lead. Honestly I hate leading I never know if I'm going to fast or not fast enough, but I will if you need me.

golferfreddie

Same here Phil. I can lead a group again if you need me to, but I only plan on making the one run through after lunch and then taking it easy at the lodge! I get up there often enough to fill my need anyway!

how are the groups going to be divided up? i'm interested.

All the attendees of DGRR wanting to run the Gap needs to run at lease one round trip with the Group leaders (5-6 cars per group). But prefer that they stick with a group instead of on their own.

Also the groups will leave 2-5 minutes apart to give enough space between the group.

Phil, I'd be willing. I have been to both BMW and Porsche driving schools. I was also Lead Gun Truck for convoy's in Iraq, with 30 trucks behind me to keep track of. Let me know if I can help. I have NOT been to Deals Gap.

Well, I can't quite stand up to Moejoe there, but I did go through last year. I was the one car that spun, so I do know full well how dangerous it can be and would be completely willing to lead a group....and this year, no spinning.

Let me know.

I need 3-4 more volunteers..

All the volunteers must meet me early saturday morning and willing to go up to the Dragon and check for road conditions. Last year, some of the leaders had to move trees and branches out of the road. Also, we'll go over what you guys need to do when leading a group.

SPICcnmGT

Yeah hopefully a Tornado won't come this year, and we won't have to worry about moving branches.

One more thing.. I was going to make a special Volunteers only shirt... I thought maybe some of you GL's might be interested. I was going to make the GL shirts BLK.

I'll get these for a VERY special price ($5). Let me know if any of you are interested... These shirts will be only available to those who volunteer for the event..

Moejoe

iTrader: (1)

Interested

Herblenny

iTrader: (13)

I'll see if I could get them for free.. But that might make people want to volunteer just go get a shirt.. LOL!

Phil I can do it again this year if needed. Previous two meets at Deals Gap, HPDE and Autocross experience, worked with an IMSA/SCCA team in the 70s.

Mindspin311

Just curious as to how the groups will be divided up?

PerkyStina

Phil, I'd love to help out as a GL.

Put me down on the list.

I have a suggestion for this year, we should assign GLs over people we may or may not know on Saturday's driving adventures, so we have new faces to help with joining everyone in fellowship. Kinda like the whole idea behind a mentor or camp counselor.

Corny, but will really make the newbies feel welcomed.
