When might we have the full itinerary for the Epic Drive?
-Tim
I'm in! Not sure yet what I'll be driving though.
Also I just posted this on TCCoA
Ricardo, if you're talking about a timed road rally: I've done one, and IMO nothing makes a drive less fun than staring at a stopwatch and trying to calculate how much your speedo is off so you can get to the checkpoint on time.
If we're starting in Chatt, I don't have much of an excuse for not going.

Tempted to do this on the Aprilia.
On a side note, what if the shootout was promoted as heavily as this epic drive...
..... This has originally been planned to only be a Spring Event. However, if the event has success I may include others. Mainly to reach other members that find it too far to attend.
Sounds like an awesome idea.
My car has been gravitating towards more of a street/strip car than I had originally intended - I blame my Shootout attendance and less general cruising. I have always semi-daily driven my car, but it's not the same...especially when all you're around is the typical group of daily-driver cars. I think this will help me personally reign it back in a little. I'll be running 93 pump gas for the cruise...that's for sure. That lets me put off the fuel system upgrades until next summer too.
It's kind of ironic, but the winter preparation that we would usually planning (whether designing or actual wrenching) should be more heavily maintenance and drivability related...which honestly, some of us neglect when we're trying to round up more ponies.
So....I guess I'm going to make a checklist of SC to-do's to prep for the Epic Drive now.
Thanks again for heading this up, Chris!
What??? "I've been doing it wrong putting miles on a 1/4 at a time lol... Seriously I think this will be a blast. I enjoyed the 1.25days of power tour we did this year. Even though it was cut short by transmission failure. It gave me motivation to fix alot of little stuff. I will prepare for this trip by daily driving my crap for a couple weeks (700 miles a week commute) that will find its flaws
Got me some new bolognas! Need to find some cobra calipers and find some time to do suspension bits.
Will those fit well on 17x8 wheels? I currenty run 245/45s and these look to be a bit taller/wider which would be a better fit IMO

This might be a good cheap budget tire for my crap. My khumos are shot.
