I wasn't there, but this is why I don't go on the drives anymore. The young kids drive like complete idiots. Im all for a spirited drive, but there's got to be some respect for the other people on the road. Just my .02.

I can't say I follow the speed limit all the time, but I generally agree. So I do my speeding on the track now. It's much more fun, and safe.

Guys - It could be me, but I really don't think we were being reckless at all (not compared to some runs that we've been on). The areas that we did open up for the most part did not have any other pedestrians/other drivers near us. Some people were acting a little reckless, but I can say, I didn't notice I was going much above. I stuck on the toll road and the portion of the greenway that I lead to about 75-80mph, and when we hit route 7, we were doing about 55-60. It may have seemed like there were pockets of folks going fast but that could be because people needed to catch up.
To be honest, this run out to Summit was not CRAZY....If so, the four cops we passed would have pulled us over immediately, if not, have been called to take us down.....Just my $.02

I like doing the drives a lot... Spirited is OK but crazy is not... There were a couple of guys at the spring run in March that I asked not to participate in any more of the drives I put together due to unsafe driving...
fkellyM3 seems to be a bit out of line since Chris was leading the pack and we were traveling at a very reasonable pace (thru 3 speed traps without incident)... Traffic was VERY heavy so 3 digit speeds were not possible and would have been extremely irresponsible... Especially considering the traffic conditions...
It's also not responsible to make comments in an open forum about any type of speeding and most certainly should not mention speeds...
Hope to see everyone on my next drive... Maybe I'll do 3 run groups...
Group 1: Movers & Shakers
Group 2: Scenic Beauties
Group 3: Geritol Gang
I like that thar, now that's funny stuff

Al,
No he wasn't with us unfortunately, but let me tell you it would have been great to see him run with us in the pack. He was with Ivan's (IMA Motorsport) trailer/crew when we got there. I'll ask Ivan who that was.
Van - Al's got a point, either you or Alex have to pony up and get an F-Car in the mix. Don't forget us little p-Car and Euro boys though that day....

I can't picture myself in a Fcar yet maybe one day when I grow up.

I believe that I stayed in the left lane for a good portion of the Greenway, and 7 route to keep everyone in a single fluid line. I was following a burgandy camry, with a family inside, most of the trip.

Bull, thanks for the reply!

Scott,
Great picture of the Lotus S-240...
HOW THE HELL DID THAT GUY SQUEEZE HIS FAT *** INTO THAT LITTLE POCKET ROCKET
Hey, you got to be able to laugh at yourself in life... I mean, I have to look at myself in the mirror every morning... I'm going to buy one of those mirrors you find at the Carnival that makes you look tall & skinny...
Anyway, I really had a great time... Who's up for a run this Sunday, August 24th??? I have a GREAT route I just tested a week ago and need some Guinea Pigs...
