    Description Bove's Blast revisited- VT Run 2013

    I will be organizing a mixed marque drive on Sunday September 8th (rain date is Saturday September 14th). Many years back I worked with the area NSX and Lotus Owners on a Scenic Drive along Rte 100 through VT... to Ben n Jerry's. With a diversion to VT's version of Tail of the Dragon. Ending in Burlington VT for dinner at Bove's Italian Rest.

    My intention is for this to be a leisurely drive among friends (past, present and future). This format has worked well in the past. Based on the nature of a mixed Marque event I will be the lead car at all times and speed will be set at a reasonable pace. The route is outlined below. People are welcome to join or drop out at any time. The time line below is only a guide, please plan accordingly.

    Regards,- Jeff Torrey

    Looks like a fun drive! Have you checked your route on 511VT.com? Earlier this summer, there was a massive construction project on an 8-10 mile section of RT 100 just south of RT 17 between Warren/Waitsfield. The entire roadway was loose gravel and totally unpaved. It was a complete disaster!! I've avoided this section of road since, but hopefully it's paved in time for your drive.

    I checked the map on 511VT.com and it still shows the paving project. I can detour around it with Rte 125 to Rte 166 to Rte 17 back to Rte 100.

    Thanks for the alert.

    Sounds like a great time-good way to wind down the summer. Speaking of wrapping up the summer I can't believe it's already Labor Day. It's depressing! I've gotta get some laps in today inbetween T-storms.....this car will be stored back in the warehouse before I know it!

    Great idea, have a blast on the ride!

    Was just up 2 weeks ago and am happy to report this section is now an amazing stretch of pavement. I got caught when it was all gravel and cracked a headlight...
