Default February Heartbreaker Drive

So after Valentines day wears off I am sure some people will need to vent their pent up emotions via a fun drive! So I present the Heartbreaker Drive!

When
Saturday, February 28
Starting Time 1pm

Where
It is also North and East from McKinney but goes further North from the Clark's drive. The traffic is lighter and the roads comparable. It also gets close to the Red River and back over to near Sherman before heading back South. There is also a dinner spot in Bells off 82/56 between Sherman and Bonham. It wouldn't accommodate too large of a group and is only open on Saturday.

Starting Location
We will be meeting at Kim's Corner. It is a Shell gas station and you will be required to top off your tanks before the drive starts.

What
Meet, greet, drive, and photoshoot at a secret scenic location in the middle of the drive.

Why
So after Valentines day wears off I am sure some people will need to vent their pent up emotions via a fun drive! So I present the Heartbreaker Drive!

[Notes Section]
All makes and models invited. Set your coilovers to a higher ride height for all those lowered.

I'd go if it were the 14th/15th because I have the Monday after that off which creates sine free time.
(President's day, but we never get that holiday off so its a Professional Development day for teachers or something)

Why are you suggesting to raise the car if your lowered? Are the roads rough/choppy? You know after a ride height change you need to re-align your car.

I've never gone on any drives yet but if it's the weekend of the 21st I would go. I vote option 1 but all sound fine.

We are leaning to option 3. The 14th is not an option.

That's all I know. I need more input.

Yeah, THANKS tom! No it was fun. I hadn't driven an S2000 like that since the Last Fall Colors Drive in 2006. I'm pretty confident I had suffcient grip, but I wasn't sure how far I could keep pushing with all the Bumpsteer I was getting.

I'm lowered on Tein CS, set to about 80% of Full Stiff, and two turns from All the way UP (1" Drop)

I think the bigger issue is the 19"s I'm Rolling, it seems those transfer a lot of road surface feedback than I would have expected.

I'd be up for another round on a Sunday if you get something together.

I'll just be riding my bike next time.
