Looking like rain this weekend. There is also a large motorcycle gathering going on in the dragon area. Big hot rod show in pigeon forge also this weekend. There may be alot of traffic on our route this weekend. I know its late but would you consider next weekend instead?Just let me know.

[RarlyL8]

There are huge car shows both this weekend and next. Shades Of Past and The Grand Rod Run. Thousands of hotrods decend on the area. You will likely want to avoid Pigeon Forge.

The event fills up quick! So get your registraition in! lots of Cobras, Vettes, and Vipers to play with!

[pkracer21j]

All the unofficial info is posted in the events section at funfgruppen, under the okturbofest thread, 1st post.

in the oh by the way catagory, I put in the order for 5 gallons of shine today. last years 2 gallons didn't make it through the weekend.

[Miguel Antonett]

So, it is VIR instead of CMP?

[Miguel Antonett]

So, what's the track day 16 or 17th or both?

[pkracer21j]

16th, why go to CMP when we can play at VIR with Cobras, Vettes, and Vipers?

[Miguel Antonett]

OK the 16th it is @ VIR. What about the ride, on Sunday?

[pkracer21j]

Sunday we're going into the mountains. I'm thinking of you this year Miguel, we get to the top of the mountain around 10am, for a big working mans country breakfast! Not that the gas station Pizza wasn't good last year...I'm still learning from my mistakes.

[Shadetree930]

Speaking of mountains ..... the Pre-Palooza was a blast!



Running above the clouds ....



A little Pre-Palooza tunnel action .....



The usual suspects ....

[Miguel Antonett]

Awesome shots Paul!!!!!!!!!!! and awesome ride - wet ride... very wet ride. I'm still amazed how those cars handled in such diluge condtions.

I see that turning around worked out great, that shot of your car says it all.

Thank you and Duke for the planing. Great time as always!

And yes Pete, this year will be both days - guaranteed.

Here ya go ... a little deluge video. When you consider that was freshly laid asphalt and it was still a little 'greasy' ... I agree ... these cars are champs...

The backtrack for the glamour shot was worth it but....... in typical Pelican fashion I neglected to take the art shot (without the car).

[Shadetree930]

Some Pre-Palooza exhaust music .... this was at the base of a 18 mile climb up the mountain. It seemed we had the entire mountain to ourselves for the day. Completely uninterupted runs up and down.

[Miguel Antonett]

So, was there a ticket involved "in the event"...?

[Miguel Antonett]

Maaaaaan..... I feel your pain... I know exactly how you feel; but hey, you're right, it could have been LOTS worse considering...

[tarheelturbo]

+1 on that!! I definitely feel your pain! I got the ticket last okturbofest... it was kind of funny.. state trooper was so confused.. he kept asking.. so what is that again??

he probably thought it was just a fiero with a body kit! haha
