If you want to do the group drive, be at Fontana around 8:30. We'll be lining up across from the country store by the ball field.

Thank you! Will they be splitting into groups by speed or will folks take things at a comfortable pace? 8:30-9:00 am is on the threshold of when LEO starts to arrive, but it should be no issue. My apologies if this has been posted elsewhere and I have not been able to spot it.

The drive is done as a group of all cars so it's more of a laid-back drive than a balls to the wall blast-fest (and even at that time of the day there's traffic). The split into groups comes afterwards with some groups heading to Cherohala, others Devil's Triangle (or other adventures) and some just doing Dragon driving or going back to Fontana.

We'll probably go with you to Tellico Plains. Mary would kill me if we missed out on Tellico Grains and they are not open Sunday or Monday.

Of course. No real limit to the number of cars, this won't be a spirited drive.

Very excited to meet you all on Saturday. First time I’ve met with an S2000 group.
