Arrow Snow Flake Special II - 27 Jan

We're meeting at Juanita beach Park, in Kirkland. I'm not 100% certain on where we'll be lunching, but I'll try to have that info by the 5th. Much of the route is done, I just need to figure out how long it'll take us to cover this route, and make some adjustments to keep it to the usual 3-4 hours of driving time we enjoy every month. Again, I hope to have final details by the 5th.

We had more than 25 cars show up for this event last year, and had a blast. Invite your friends, neighbors, and other forums. Let's push that number higher for 2008.

Full Details and event registration at The-Winding-Road.com

If you want a Route Map, please register at The-Winding-Road.com. For those with GPS, I include way points that SHOULD trick your unit into following our route.

I would love to be there. and i will...

IF is it dry.... yes im a b-b-baby......

The other day i proved that wet roads and i just dont mix well... On a drive with mike ( silver S2K ) and a few other S2k's... i spun my 7 around a wet corner by stupidly over breaking... I almost killed my wife and i.. and trashed a few hondas... it wasnt fun. IMa keep my spirited driving on the dry.

Hope its dry!

Full details available now. We'll be lunching at Spiro's Pizza and Pasta in Shoreline.

That sounds like fun, Grae. I understand. I certainly don't propose you do anything you're uncomfortable with. Know your limits and stay within them.

Terrible terrible advice... Grae should be kept off the streets! He is a danger to society! lol

If my SHO isn't still suffering from an electrical short I may turn out for a change... We'll see....

... yeah, i have bizarre limits... im no braggart ( i like that word) but id like to say that my limits on dry roads haven't even been met yet.. that is.. except behind you Kris.... ( you maniac ) but enter that wet road varaible... and my car and mind get a bit stunted. sad day. But ever since that spin out last weekend, i would like to say that i do feel a bit MORE comfortable on the wet, it seems that the situation gave me a much greater idea to the reactions of not only my car, but my instinctive corrective steering. yay!

That's the way it goes. Every time you cross the line, you get a better idea of where it is. Of course, the stability control in my 8 makes exploring those limits a lot more comfortable than in my 7.

8 cars officially registered, with another 10-15 unofficial participants. Remember, I can only print Route Books for those who sign up at the-winding-road, so if you're coming, please visit the event page and register. Thanks

I want to thank everyone who made it out for the Snow Flake Special II. I think we all had a wonderful time. We had nearly 30 cars on this trip, and enjoyed some of the areas more urban and suburban roads.

I also want to extend a special thank you to those who brought friends along. The more the marrier. At the same time, it's very important for planning purposes that everyone who intends to go on these drives signs up at the-winding-road. The better we can guage the number of participants, the better we can prepare for multiple groups.

The Snow Flake Special is our only in-the-city drive of the year. The rest of the year we make a point of getting out of town and enjoying more rural roads where it's easier to keep the group together, there's less traffic, and it's safer to play a bit.
