Default Spring 2021 Boston Mountains Tour


Dear Friends,

You are invited to join other S2000 owners and driving enthusiasts for the 29th semi-annual S2000 Boston Mountains Tour!!!


:: There are some important changes about this event, so please read all of the information provided carefully! ::

This tour, which usually will cover some of the best winding and scenic roads that the Arkansas Boston Mountains range of Central and Northwest Arkansas has to offer, with roads that challenge even the most experienced drivers, is going have a bit of a twist this go 'round! Welcome to the BMT: Southern Missouri Edition!

On Saturday, March 27th, all drivers will be given a tour packet that will have your specific route information with turn-by-turn directions, and lunch and dinner maps. The Boston Mountains Tour is one of the best environments for you to fully enjoy what your S2000 was made to do - TURN!

The BMT is a great social event and you will have the opportunity to meet great people from across multiple states. We look forward to seeing you there!

When:
Saturday, March 27th, 2021

Time:
Registration Opens at 7:30 a.m.
Mandatory Drivers Meeting: 8:15 a.m.
Tour Starts: 8:45 a.m.


Where:
Nixa, MO

Hotel Booking Information:
Will be provided upon your successful registration


For those of you who have attended a BMT in the past, you know we usually hang out at the hotel, but this time we will be graciously hosted by CL and Alicia at their restaurant, The Collective. It is an amazing spot for us to hang out, eat great food, have some drinks, and maybe even win some prizes. This will be our go-to place both Friday & Saturday nights.
For those of you that usually stumble to your room after your fun, we will be providing a shuttle service from the restaurant to the hotel both nights.

Itinerary:
  • Friday Night, March 26th
    • Social - 6 p.m. - The Collective (Shuttle available!)
  • Saturday Morning, March 27th
    • Packet Pickup - 7:30 a.m. - 8:15 a.m. - The Collective Be sure to park in your designated area!
    • Drivers Meeting - 8:15 a.m. - The Collective
      • Please be sure to gas up and eat breakfast BEFORE you get to the meeting.
      • The Collective will NOT be open to serve food.
      • All groups will leave shortly after the meeting, so make your way to your cars and start warming them up.
    • BMT BEGINS!!! - 8:45am - First group leaves the parking lot with each subsequent group leaving every 5 minutes thereafter.
      • There are going to be 6 total groups, 3 running a forward route and 3 running a reverse route. Both directions will have a similar drive times which means that all groups will converge on the lunch location together. We are providing a 2 hour window for lunch so that people can eat, relax, mingle and spend some time enjoying their mid-day break. Our lunch stop is going to be at the Rockbridge Trout Fishing Mill in Rockbridge, MO.(pictured below) Please park with your group for easy departure.
  • Saturday Evening
    • Group Dinner - The Collective (Shuttle available!)

This tour is limited to 50 cars and these spots fill up fast, so secure your spot ASAP!


Reminders will be given periodically as we get closer to the event to inspect the following:
  • Car (registration)
  • Tires (including spare)
  • Alignment
  • Brakes
  • Fluids
Extra items that are good to have on you:
  • 2 way radio, see notes below
  • Paper map (usually available at the beginning of the tour) since a lot of the areas we drive through don't have very good cell reception
  • Fire extinguisher (small)
  • Small tool kit
Other requirements to participate are as follows:
  • You must be 18 years of age or older
  • You must have a valid driver's license
  • Your car must have current registration
  • You must have a valid proof of insurance
  • Your tires must have at least 3/32" of tread on them at their lowest point

It is a good idea to have a 2-way radio with you. Although not a requirement, it will help your group leaders to communicate with you about upcoming road conditions, turns, or any other information that may be important for the group to know. It also provides the ability for people in the group to communicate with their Tour Guide or other members of the group as needed. In general, they are just a helpful tool to have in the car with you.
There are several participants that have taken a liking to this radio from Baofeng.

This thread will be open for discussion, but registration will only be handled through the link provided, and all contact about your registration will be handled directly with you via email. If you have registered and don't see your name on the list above it is because either 1.) We haven't updated the list yet, or 2.) Your registration isn't complete yet.

If a spot opens up we will email you immediately to see if you are still interested in participating. You will then have 24 hours to respond. It would be best to save s2kbmt@gmail.com as a contact in your email so you don't miss any incoming information from us.
We will not be making ANY changes to the list after 3/20/2021 at 11:59pm, so you'll want to make sure your registration is handled before that time.

So I MAY have a BMT-worthy car pretty soon (no, not my sweet, sweet Camry). I'll RSVP if I do. But I don't want to take any spots until I'm sure.
Either way, I may plan a vacation around the area ... biking the Katy Trail just north https://mostateparks.com/park/katy-trail-state-park ... so I can meet y'all at the lunch stop OR get a shotgun seat with a participant (185 lbs., BTW).

I'm back in the three-pedal game! I filled out the thang. I can be a sweeper in the "more leisurely" group if needed.
