pre-empt: in case some of yall know know..cause most of this board is fairly new to the f body world.... in 1997..my wife and i organized an f body event that took us thru the blue ridge mountains of VA, tight and twisty...... picnic at the top of range , a place called "Big Medows"..and down the mountain again. we've hosted it every year since....till this year.... i turned it over to Doug 97ss1499, an old friend of mine.... for now animal rescue consumes most of our time.
My CompTA, #139..led the caravan up and over and thru the mountains for 7 years...... now she's gone ..sold to a good friend of mine......
......the last 3 years, we had over 50 f bodies in the caravan..... some came from Canada, Texas, and Florida......
bummed..... yup...... im gonna be bummed this weekend for sure..... but i can smile too.....cause its a tradition that will go on i hope..... in all 7 years....we never had one incident.... the event went down flawless.....regardless of the weather...
anyway::::::::::::::::::::::
+++++++++++++++++++++
yall have a gr8 safe time......please.
i dont have to tell you.....mary and i are pretty bummed.
we held the first skyline drive event in 1997.....and have held one ever since. in 97...we only had a few cars....less than a dozen if i remember right. we all came back stoked..... it balloned from there. we have nothing but fantastik memories of it.....
it always remained a no pressure get together....and a gr8 drive....we delt with rain.....we delt with snow.... we delt with killer bucks (remember that one!) black bears......kev!........horses...... git!........you name it.....
we never had an incident....well....major one that is (thanks camSS for the pic of me and the park ranger last year......hahahahahaha)
yall old timmers watch the new commers.... one thing ive learned.. you can read it in thier eyes too..... and its nothing to be ridiculed about or be made fun of over... thats "lack of experience" in those type of twisties... you may even have to say to they guy behind you in the caravan... "broh... if its gets squirely..dont try and hang with me..... our cars are set up diff..... its not about who's fastest up and down the mountain....."........ you get my drift.....
anyway..... warmest wishes from me, mary, reno, kona, and shelby.
if i dont make it there tomorrow night.....its because something has come up....its over an hour drive for me, which is not bad....but not good either given whats happend and going on with us and rescue stuff and weekend buss. that we must do that we cant during the week.
ol #139 is with ya..... it the first time in 7 yrs she aint led the f body pack thru the mountains..... and now she's in good hands with a good friend of mine......
so rock, ride, drive, and party harty on friends......
damn.
