Has anyone from this board gone before and does anyone plan on going this year? This sounds like a ton of fun.

I have not been on this run before. Just want to express some caution that the Park police has become leary of large groups of cars entering the Skyline drive. Last video I have seen from some group last year they were stopped and chased by Park police numerous times.

This time we're not going on Skyline Drive, we're going up mountain roads of VA/WV. We did do a little bit of Skyline Drive in the last two runs and haven't had any problems. You gotta know where it's ok to speed and where it isn't. Everyone should know you don't speed on Skyline Drive

I just realized I already have plans on the 10th that I can't change. I guess I won't be going on this

Great! Had about 25 cars, 22 of them were BMW Ms (M3, M Coupe, M5). I'll post pictures tomorrow and there'll be an edited video in a few weeks.
