Mike, Just as an FYI: the leader of the VW group(dang, I wish I could remember his name) did mention they use to do runs in the day then re-run the course at night. He did mention the club had a falling-out of sorts and no runs have been done in the last year. Sunday (26th) was the first run since they re-grouped. He also mentioned there was a "No passengers" rule. Sounds like we have a couple of VW/German clubs here. | ||

never impede the progress of a car trying to move foward by pressing your hands on the hood and bracing yourself. That falls under common sense. If you dont have enough power to do a burnout DONT TRY. No offense but thats how people get hurt, all for a cloud of tire smoke? how do explain that to their parents? | ||

Clyde, the run you are talking about with all the VWs is called "Full Moon, Full Throttle" it is sponsored by AutoKrieg. I was there with my VW and it was a blast! Nothing like doing 140 on the LIE in a group of about 40 other VWs ;) Pix and stuff here: http://forums.vwvortex.com/zerothread?id=1082099 | ||

Kenny..only got up to around 105/110ish i think, didnt top out Clyde..managed to avoid rain until the very end, when there was just some drizzling. The rest went very well aside from one rough road, where i think we all hit some potholes. But the rest was a lot of fun. | ||

New member Username: Dviper74 Post Number: 26 Registered: 10-2003 |
Ferretti, i was there, i dont know if it was coincedence or not, but they have been doing similar runs for a while. Apparently they knew nothing of your plans, and when i mentioned Ferrari and Vipers, they just seemed confused. I went out with them in the TT, i was driving in Clyde's group. A pretty good drive overall. | ||

New member Username: Clydem Post Number: 23 Registered: 3-2002 |
I don't remember the guy's name in charge. Sorry. There were two groups of cars. One with 6, the other with seven. Ran up around Tuxedo NY area...17, 17a, 72, etc. I'd have to look at a map for the course. I was a bit too occupied to take notes. lol In my group 2 Audi TT, 2 VW, 1 Mercedees and my 308. They did comment this is the largest turn-out & mix they've ever had. They do want to keep the rallys small so as not to attract attention. | ||

New member Username: Clydem Post Number: 22 Registered: 3-2002 |
They had the run. I was the 308 there. IT is a German car club and German run: mainly volkswagens. They did let me tag alone on what was a wonderfully spirited run. I left at the first stop an hour into the run. Bottomed out 1 too many times  | ||

I was just up at Montvale and there were maybe 12 cars there. 2 Boxters, 2 WRX's counting mine, a MB C230 hatchback, some VW's, and a S2000. There was one Ferrari there, and 308 GTB. When are we having the real run? | ||

Hey Dave: Like Rob said, you could ride with someone if you want, althought I do not know if you want to personally do that but anyway come and join us.

The one last spring, and the one last december were great. They've been getting low turnouts though since then, which is a shame. hopefully this one will be big and everyone will have a fun, safe time. I cant make it though, im way too busy with school, and i have a race that saturday in saratoga, which i might not even participate in if this hernia gets any worse. just make sure to get alot of vids. If oct. 26th is a sunday, i might be able to go if bosco wants to pick me up, which i doubt he will. | ||
