Default Fall 2007 AR Boston Mountains Tour (Fall 07BMT)

Mark your calendars for Saturday, October 27th!

Jerome ("jmoore2k") and I are planning the second ever all-day S2000 tour through the Boston Mountains over in Arkansas. Weather permitting, this will happen on Saturday, October 27th.

We had originally intended to change the route significantly from the previous tour back in March, however due to time constraints, the route will be similar, but not exactly the same. So... the tentative plan is to start in Rogers, AR at 9:00 a.m. At the beginning of the tour, each driver (and co-driver) will be given a numbered ticket and a detailed morning and afternoon route which includes a stop for lunch in between. The route has been selected to travel over some of Arkansas' best S roads! From Rogers, we'll head eastward making a big loop through the Boston Mountains and end up in Wiederkehr Village, AR and draw tickets to give away a few very nice gifts.

We'd like to get an idea of how many of you plan on attending so we can make reservations for lunch and dinner. So, please post your thoughts/interest here!

Important! In order to arrive at our lunch stop on time, we need to leave our starting point at 9am. Therefore, please arrive no later than 8:30 with a full fuel tank. We will start/meet at Starbucks' parking lot (MAP) which is just across the street from the McDonald's where we met last spring.

I hope I don't offend anyone with this, but is this S2000s only?

LOL! I personally have no objections if a non-S2000 wants to participate. I like how Fadi put it... "Just make sure they dont show up in a minivan and then try to go on the drive. I would like it to be mostly cars that can take corners without coming to a stop!"

Well, technically it's only a one-day event, but last time a lot of people drove into town the day before.

What do we know so far? Is it a race or are we going to be able to see the scenery around us? Meeting where, driving to where? Or is it too early to ask this type of question. Location and speed has something to do with whether we can make it.

It's definitely not a race. Rather, it is a "spirited" drive. Safety is top priority. Yes, there will be photo opps along the way. It's still too early to say for certain where, but due to limited time for planning, it will probably be very similar to the last one where we met in Rogers, headed east and made a huge squiggly oval thru the Upper Boston Mountains and ended up in Fayetteville.
