Lead Drivers: @
TEWwild, @
AteMyShorts, me and I believe @
Zubit, so far. Anyone else interested can lead a group if they are familiar with the run and know the guidelines/safety concerns. Just let me or @
Shneegle know by Sat. morning. @
TEWwild will lead the fastest group. The rest of us will be a bit more moderate!
As always, slower drivers should pony up to the rear of each group. Newbys...have no fear, we do slow down and make a few stops along the way should you get behind on some of the twisties. Everyone...please do not drive beyond the limits of your skills or vehicle capabilities. This is not a race and we want everyone to arrive at the Bent Rim Grill with 86's intact and drivers uninjured!
Lead drivers will meet briefly before departure from Medina so if anyone wants to form their own smaller group they need to speak up Sat. morning in order to get a spot for departure staging. Groups will leave approx. every 10 minutes. Typically, there are 7-15 cars per group.
We will line up groups on the side of the road that the Apple Store is located on so everyone should park across the street and spread towards the "downtown" area so we avoid parking in front of the residential housing.
Group leaders will decide if they go clockwise or counter clockwise on the Sisters run and prior to departure; the group leader will meet with their group briefly to make sure everyone knows the guidelines, determine if there are any vehicle issues or concerns regarding group members, answer questions and convey special instructions.
Important: Please arrive in Medina with at least 3/4th of a tank of fuel to avoid unnecessary delays along the way. And, don't forget some cell phone service is sporadic to non existent once we leave Medina, TX.
Final thought - it's OK to be a little bit late getting to Medina....don't let this happen to you:
