Looks like part of it is Mines Rd. Be careful out there. It is a very technical road. Keep an eye out for bikes. If you want company, let me know.

Hopefully no one was hurt. How did they lose control of their cars? If it was because of reckless driving, then they deserved it. I hate these meets. Some people are cool and are there to talk about cars. However, for most, it's just a place for them to show off. And then it gets out of control and they show off on the road and accidents happen.

I remember on the last Fish N' Chips how many m3 guys were poking around and getting lost and looking for their group and. . . .

When I had my V-Dub, this wasn't a problem, but you have to be seriously organized to pull it off - you can't just pick and pull from a whole bunch of people - you have to delegate driver leads and be strict on speed and group size and spacing.

Well, I am looking to run some twisty roads soon, especially sense I just got new wheels and tires, but I think I should do a group drive before I am out on my own. Or maby a track day first?
