Topic #98572 117 posts Started by bloodMoney
is from 9 am to 6. I'm planing on taking my club and the Zeelica at 1 pm after church, hopefully if there is still space.
Not free frown.gif not a cheap ass but I'm not sure $20 to walk around for an hour is going to happen. If anyone will be out there wants to meet up for dinner I might be down. Text me, (978) 364-2399

OFF-TOPIC:

FYI, I'll be driving at Blackhawk Farms on 10/6 in the GS if anyone wants to come hangout and watch me potentially break the car.....

Never heard of that track - just looked it up. It's only about 50 minutes from me (cool!).

I used to race karts growing up (nationally), but I've never driven a road car on an actual track before (or even a parking lot with cones). If I or my family was rich, I would without a doubt race some sort of something. The thing with racing is that unless you're rich, it's purely a hobby that costs money. I decided that years ago, that I would eventually build a street car that I can have fun with on the road, as well as take it to the track when I'd like. That way, I'm not stuck with a garage'd/trailer'd race car that I can only drive on the weekends.

I grew up around dirt circle track racing, and even that will make you broke, and quick! My father used to race late models, and the costs associated with them is just stupid.

That's where I am Joe. This car was built for highway running, but it handles so good, I need to see what it'll do at the track.

It's been a good 4 years since I've been down to Tenn. for the Tail of the Dragon, so I've got the itch to drive real bad.

How was the Tail of the Dragon? I would like to get a group together to road trip down there sometime! I think all those curves would be so much fun! I saw somewhere that a 1st gen Celica group does it every year. I'd love to meet up with that crew as well.

Remember that time we went to the movies?
We could do a 6GC escape room...or a Dave and Busters- as a back up plan if we wanted to still plan to meet outside- it's just getting cold as hell at night already who knows what it will be in a month.

We went with the celicatech group every year for a good 7 years. But now that we're all starting families, it's hard to make the time to meet up from all over the country like we used to be able to.

Driving the Dragon is a good time, but towards the end, we would be down there for 3 days, and only run it once. It was more family reunion than driving trip. The road itself does not mess around. You want some serious driving, almost every road in the area takes concentration.

I've heard police presence has increased along the trail as well in recent years due to inexperienced drivers taking on the dragon. Not sure how true that is though.
