Here are the details:

When:
Sunday, October 18, 2009
10:30 am Run Begins
3:30 pm BBQ Begins
Leave whenever you are full of smoked meat

Where:
The Start and End will be at my house in Wilton, NH, right on 101. We usually end up there anyway and half of the cars drive by on the way to the previous meets. The GPS address is 1175 Gibbons Hwy (101), turn on Victoria Lane then drive to the end of the road (700ft). PM me if you want more info.

What:
A 3.5 hour route through the twistiest foliage lined back roads in the Monadnocks. The map is here (subject to revision)
There will be some gathering and photo stops along the way.
As always a pile of que like: smoked ribs, wood grilled marinated chicken, and smoked brisket chili. There will also be pie.
I am working on gathering MR2 Trivia with prizes.

Rain Date:
October 25, 2009

Bring?: If you are hanging out for the BBQ you may want to bring folding chairs if you have some and have room. I have fridge space for beverages and anything else you want to bring for the BBQ.

The itinerary for this event is as following:

Day at the lake
ATS has around 10 stand up jet skis for those that are will to try.

Friday 25th:

9:00a.m. till 4:00p.m. — DYNO DAY with TUNING at ATS

You will need an appointment. This is more of a tweaking than a tuning session.
Expect a MAXIMUM of 1 hour per car so that we can help as many people as possible.
Cost – $50

**Aaron or I will be making up a schedule for this that will have the blocks available for purchase.
Once paid for, the name will be added to the schedule and posted here. With that in mind,
we will have an hour tune/tweak and then a 30 minute time between to unload that and and strap up the next one and hook it up, etc.
That leaves only around 6 maaaayybe 7 blocks (big maybe) available and once they are gone, they’re gone.

6:00pm till late — Drag Racing at Northstar Dragway
(http://www.northstar-dragway.com/index.html)
This is an 1/8th mile track only and there are no safety requirements other than seatbelts, a helmet, sleeved t-shirts and long pants.

If you are in the Dallas area we recommend Pro Tuning Performance. They have tons of track day experience. Dedicated Motorsports in Ft. Worth is also qualified to do the inspection and so is ATS, however they are very busy at the moment and may not be able to get you you as fast as some of the previously mentioned shops..

Plans so far…

Friday is arrival day, get there early and we’ll run some twisties. But mainly just get there the MAIN EVENT is Saturday’s Run.

Saturday we’ll run all the best roads in the Hill Country(335, 336, 337) aka the 3 twisted sisters. 27 aka the River Road. 16 aka sweet 16. With a 9am start we’ll be running twisties all day Saturday finishing up about 4pm at the motel. If you don’t need to rush home we always have a good time painting the town red Saturday night.

Sunday, breakfast and goodbyes.
