So who's ran it?
I would if I lived over there.. that **** looks like fun!

load up a Celi with some S.T. sway bars and strut braces and a nice set of TEIN type flex coilovers with EDFC and that would be the sweetest afternoon.....

I was wanting to get a meet going there since the main things our cars have going for them is handling, I originally scheduled it for Aug 12-14 but to many people go back to school around that time. I have a friend that owns a hotel in Maggie Valley so I might still go before it gets to cold there.
I'm looking at buying an FC w/ GAB coilovers. If I do I'm stopping by on the drive home and runnin it.

Oh and a Celica...nothin wrong with that!"
theres a few places about 40 min from here that are like that. They are all just side roads, but still u can go around 110km/h(64 mph roughly) through them. The local supra club runs them every 2 weeks...as soon as i get the car back, get my gt4 rear strurt bar..im gonna b runnin it with them..i doubt ill be able 2 catch up if i loose em..but its still fun. My friends go there to and drift through the corners.. not as long, but just as fun.
