Here it is, who wants to meet up and actually drive their car not just hit the gas and grab the next gear? We are talking backroad, point A -to- B, timed “events”. Vajay-jays thats arnt afraid to turn left and right, arnt scared to hit a guard rail or a ditch, this threads for you. If highway rolls are your game, GTFO. :thumbup ---

This should be a nice change in pace. Will be removing my trans this weekend. getting new clutch and will swap in the smaller ring and pinion may be to shorten up the gears a bit more. my 18’s are on now and it handeled great befor 3rd bit the dust. If anything goes on this weekend, and its dry out, I would love to meet up and ride along, film or what ever. ---

So where you plan on doing this where its not going to attract a TON of attention, and how are you timing it? ---

I dont know myself. A rode up in Herkimer was mentioned. I would like to check that place out. If the rode is way off the beaten path, there shouldnt be too much traffic, if any. and as long as its out in the woods/mt road somewhere no houses to blow by. Idealy I picture a little “jug handle trail” or road that forks off somewhere and yields back onto the other road. We could put up a detur sign or road closed sign (I could get one I bet) and steer people off it. then just set up the start a half mile or far enough out of view. Or just park someone at the yield with their hazards on, like in distress, and radio ahead if cars/cops are coming to shut down the event. Kind of alot of work, but it could work. timing: I figure two options: A: Honest co-pilot has a stop watch. B: Someone stands at the starting spot and hits the stop watch. 2-way radio in hand. Finish point guy radios back to stop watch guy when they finish. ---
