^ sounds good to me but they keep coming back to how steep it is. I asked if there was easy public parking in Bluemont and we can hike it.

"You could park at the bottom and walk. It would require that you all are in decent shape. 3/4 mile and very steep!"

 

Duc - called Dirt Farm Brewing, 540-554-2337. Mike says one lane road and its sides are well maintained. Not very very, just somewhat steep. Drives his Civic up it every day. We do need to park in their gravel lot though. Bill

 

my rx7's a monster truck... I'll drive up it first

 

Well ****, wish I had seen this on the way home from jail. I could have stopped by.

 

I'm glad they picked up the phone for you Bill and we got a decent answer.

Jack - are you coming out? Didn't see your name on the official list. The "jail" statement needs investigation but I'm guessing it's not that dramatic.

 

This whole gravel and hills thing scares me a bit... ~__~

 

Derek - change ya mind about Richmond ?

 

Mike coming wichya ?

 

Jack spent a good chunk of time in the Navy, no need for him to "come out".

Duc - Yeah I am doing a large project at Fairfax County ADC. Going to be there everyday for six to nine months. But yes plan to be there.

Levi - You going to be the big spork or the little spork?

 

Not mike, but a different person. I need to find out if he found another ride or most likely I'll go to the cars and coffee and then just leave to richmond for the show since it is almost a 3 hr drive from this new spot.

 

Levi - you coming and bringing YOUR girl and MY coffee ? Bill

 

Sorry I missed everyone today. I had it in my head that the cruise was NEXT weekend. I had family visiting from out of state so I couldn't get away. Hope everything went well.

 

I haven't been watching the forums but I showed up at cars and coffee this morning and found out about the cruise. So I attended today as well.

 

Nice to see the people that was at the c&c before I left. The japanese classic show had alot more cars show then I had thought.

 

Holy mother of a HUGE FREAKING WING!!!

 

I'm guessing that you need a lot of downforce at relatively low speeds on an FTD-winning autox car :P

 

I guess. Here I was thinking mine was big, then the little black car entered the locker room and now... well..

 

Wing envy, it's real.

 

It is real. It happened to me when the Superlite SL-C rolled into cars and coffee

 

Everyone make it back okay?

Levi and Matt - you missed a great time. I really enjoyed that drive from 50 up through Mt Weather to the Brewery. Another week or two though and I can see a bit more detritus on the road mucking things up so great timing this week, and not NEXT week.

The brewery was fantastic and the view as breathtaking as Shenandoah. The ride up the very very steep incline wasn't well-maintained at all but we survived. And Bill made sure to give Mike (who misinformed us) the business. It was actually good therapy for me as I'm always hesitant about driving the FD to unknown situations. Now I know it, and I, can handle boulders, massive potholes and a very steep incline.

You think Mike's wing is impressive. You should hear Noel's jet turbine of an exhaust. I might have a clip of it I'll sort out soon.

 

There are worse places to drink beer:

 

Great trip guys, one for the record books. Matt: the course was great, Jack: drive a 7 next time Duc: Props for good choice of Brewery, Brian: Dude, bro points for seizing the opportunity and coming out, Mike: Always great to see you out, I've gotta head to FedEx more (or at least once), Bill: All told, best wing-man ever, Noel: I may just have to schedule more of these because of you, we've got to hang out more. Derek: you owe us some sweet antique Japanese car pics. Levi: I can't even

Here's some of the shots I took:

View from the Brewery:

 

Mike - you had the Superlite on wing ELEVATION - so no envy, after all, you 'got it up' better than he did ! !

Derek, Noel, Mike, Jack, Branda, Brian, Duc and Rocky - thanks for the great day !

Rocky - thanks for being the chairman AGAIN and for the kind words. P.S. Mike will be at FedEx this Saturday 9-12 and Sunday 12-4 - I'll be there as a spectator on one or both days myself. P.P.S. so nice to have found a new physical therapist for my back; just don't quite know how to break it to my wife ! ! Ask Jack or Duc how it went at the Winery.

 

Trying to figure how to upload a video, but in the meantime - my NEW crew !
