yum, cracker barrel. I think that we can swing that. I just replaced all four tires and had the oil changed this week. As luck would have it I had them put new windshield wipers on as well!

Pity that my digrappa brace is still not here, but that is another story.

We will get going around 7:00 or so tomorrow.

The run was great! The weather turned out to be very nice after some early morning clouds burned off. I look forward to hopefully having this run again in the future!

I would like to thank Taylor, Airgate, Kazu, and VFR800 (and wife) for a great day. We had made a run from Fancy Gap to Boone on the Blue Ridge parkway and had a few spirited runs. Here are some pictures which I have shrunk to 800x600. I have a lot more pics in 1600x1200 if you guys would like me to email them to you.

Thanks!
Dean

PS: Can everyone email with their current email address and any pictures you took.

Also, sorry I didn't catch up with you guys after lunch. We took a right after leaving the restaurant but ended up in blowing rock so we just followed it down to Hwy 18 and then took it to 421 which was closer for us.

you can email me the pics at rtaylor@carolina.rr.com

I had a good time as well, although I think that I will be in the slow group on the next run! Those triple digit runs gave me cramps in my left foot!

As soon as I get my non-digital pictures developed I'll scan them and send them along.

You mean triple digits. Oh you mean as in 045mph!

The pics are on the way.

BTW, which way did you turn leaving from lunch?

We went left.

I was actually referring to the 100 yard sprints that we had to do to each car after the stops.

BTW guys, after seeing Rick's Console Cover on VFR800s car and then how the leather looked on Airgates, I went ahead and placed my order for the leather console cover. I went with the all black and perforated on the sides although the solid black did look good. I thought the perforated sides would look good with the perforated seats. I can't wait to get the console cover now!

Sorry to be tardy in checking in. Been crazy here today. Vera and I had a great time yesterday. Weather started chilly but turned out great.

Those are great pictures. Could you send them to me at monzitta@hotmail.com? Would really appreciate it.

Robert, Regarding those "spirited" runs. This was my first get together and I didn't really know what you all wanted to do. Dean was on my tail and I didn't want him to run over me Besides, we didn't go any faster than the motorcycles, legends, and firebirds we met. Not much over the speed limit.

Next time I'll join the slow group too. Some of those curves have a definitely high pucker factor.
