Gauging interest in backroads tour
I've been tossing the idea around for a while about getting a small group of S2K owners together and hitting some backroads. They're roads my job has me driving on frequently around Jackson and Thomasville, AL. It's about 1 hr north on Hwy.43 from I-65 Exit 19 to Jackson and 1.5 hrs to T-Ville.
This will be a "spirited" run through the country, but by no means reckless.
Even though there's little law enforcement presence in these areas, we need to be safe and not put ourselves and others in danger. A group of sportscars running around these areas will already be freaking the locals out a little anyway.
I've participated in road tours in Kentucky with the Z06vette dot com bunch for many years, but have never organized one.
I'll need to pick a flowing route, break area(s) and make sure everyone has maps in case we get seperated. All involved will need to exchange cell phone #s. At least one pair of radios will be needed too since cell coverage is non-existent on parts of these roads.
We will need to meet around 8AM on a Saturday or Sunday morning. I'm thinking we should be finished after lunch. Date TBD.
Anybody interested?
Thanks,
Dan
