    RDU MR.net Mountain Road Extravaganza!

    Alright guys. I know we have mentioned this before about getting a group up to the mountains/Gap for some spirited drives. I wanted to see if we could get one planned for the fall. I was thinking if we all chipped in for a cabin or something, it could cut down on cost. Fall is right around the corner. So let's get planning. I know I mentioned this to Jason with the white RSX and he was down but he will probably be able to make it towards the end of Oct. Is that a good time for people? Let's throw up some ideas. I have been wanting to hit some of these passes for a while and with me getting new tires, what a great way of welcoming them.

    What do you say guys?

    It looks like this won't even happen seeing the amount of interest. I may head over anyways but I will play it by ear.

    The weekend that we are shooting for is the 24th of October. We haven't decided if we are leaving Saturday morning or Friday night.

    I also wanted to put out there that this isn't just for the RDU area people. This is open to everyone, every car make. Just an impromptu get together to hang out, enjoy some beautiful scenery and do some driving.

    Here's an idea of the kind of great driving roads are in the mountain area. This is from 421, aka The Snake.



    That is from this past weekend. Managed to sneak up there while on a trip to Charlotte to check out a car for a friend. If you can spare two days, you can have an amazing time on some great roads and seeing some beautiful sights.

    Near enough, haha.

    Marion, NC is about an hour and a half from Charlotte and that's where NC80 and 226A is near Little Switzerland. And then from there it's about another hour and a half to Mountain City, TN where you can find 421. And there's some good stuff inbetween.

    I'll say this, 421 has sections very reminiscent of 129 (Dragon).

    So it is looking like 07Nov2015 is the weekend we are shooting for. Jamie, I would love for you an Zach to come on out as you could take us out. We are all first timers so bare with us. Anyone from your group would be welcome as well. I am trying to see if I can get anyone else to go along for the ride.
