When: Sunday 1/19/2020

Why: not?

Pick a day. Post it up. As of yesterday Mines is in good shape I was told. Not sure with the a storm supposed to be coming through tomorrow though. Hard to plan too far in advance with the weather that's supposed to be coming though I think.

I'd probably be down for the 18th or 19th. I need to replace some of my under trays and would like to swap my suspension out this weekend still lol

Yea I'm looking for a weekend with at least no rain falling and Weather Underground usually is pretty good for 10 days out.

Definitely feel free to post one up! Weather is definitely a big factor, which makes larger organized drives this time of year a bit tough to schedule.

TBH, I'm hoping that I can convince a small group of hard drivers to come out than a large group of "risk averse" drivers.

Yes let's publicly advocate risk taking on a road that has killed people. That'll end well and really serve to garner respect for twin drivers.

You and I have both been on this forum a long time. I agree with you that Twin drivers are skewing towards the new "civic crowd" and the lack of appreciation that garners from the general public.

I do not want the financial headache of dealing with damaging my car, or the shame and liability of hurting other people. Safety is essential. I bought this car to drive it. I'm going to get the most enjoyment out of my vehicle while operating within those confines. To expand those confines, I go to a track. If there are like minded people that are comfortable with that mentality I would love for them to join me for a quick afternoon on the back roads.

I think if you joined me on that day, you would largely approve of my driving choices.

1x Donut Shop
2x Snowball Fights
1x Cow in the road
8x Cars
10x people
6x burgers
3x fish tacos
0x trouble

will do again.
