Mid Atlantic – Skyline Drive

As the season is ending, it is our privilege to announce the success of the Mid-Atlantic region’s Third Annual Skyline Drive cruise/meet.  One of our members, civicguyinva (Mike), planned this event as always with the help of some assistance from other members.

Lining up

Despite the government shutdown this past weekend and closure of Skyline Drive, they were able to get the biggest turnout for the season and had 67 cars attending this drive, breaking the previous record of 43 cars.  They stormed the highways of Virginia and, with constant radio contact, they made sure no traffic was blocked and all traffic flowed smoothly.

Leading the herd

All you see is “s2000”

With the help of Mack_21 (Eddie), mo19249 (Mo), and civicguyinva (Mike) himself, they travelled through Virginia and came to rest at a gas station where all attendees filled up their cars before hitting the back roads.  Directions to the last destination were distributed as some people wanted to drive slower than others on the curvy roads.

Curvy roads

After a good 30-45 minute drive through the curves, they came to rest at a restaurant where Mike had reserved a table for everyone.  They all enjoyed eating burgers, sandwiches, and fries…

Lunch time

… and then gathered outside the hotel where they were all directed to park their cars behind the building for group photos.

Thanks go out to all the sponsors who gave away their savings coupons to the attendees and made this event even more exciting.
