Well that sucks, see it's a public road then, right? I thought it was a resort that only people who pay can ride. In other words, I thought it was like a 2 lane downhill ride for 11 miles that you can take as fast as you want. It would be cool to just let loose and test your skills throughout the corners without having to worry about opposing traffic.

I am not planning on speeding on the straightaways I plan on speeding through the turns.



I will be armed with:

1. V-1 Radar Locator

2. Motorola 2 way radios.

3. Enough common sense to realize the place the cops will be looking for speeders is in the straights.



If you are going to meet up with us pick up a Motorola 14 channel 2 way radio. They are great.

I got some generic ones but you cannot change to a common frequency. We will need lookouts at the two choke points on that stretch of highway 129 Thats all

Jims-when I head down to FL in spring, I might hit that up (but it will be in March, not May) if ya wanna meet up so I can ogle the FC That road reminds me a lot of this road through the Redwoods in California, I think it's Rt. 1, or 11, or something like that. It made me physically ill after an hour of driving on it (it was like 45 miles long). I was so dizzy aferwards that I barely made it back to the house we were staying at. Anyway, Jims, lemme know!

i'll definately go, i'm about 2 1/2 hrs away from the gap. be sure to hit up cesar's head and pretty point while you are up here. You can't race at pretty point, but it is incredibly gorgeous. It's an outdoor chapel on the side of the mountain, overlooking Greenville and the mountains. Sounds sorta gay, but it is really peaceful and inspiring.

I don't think I will have my ported 13b ready by then though I guess I will just have to make do with near stock... Man that makes me wanna cry. I need mods dammit! Oh Yeah and a title too

I read an experiance from a miata guy whe had 2 turbo mitas behind him on that road and he held them off. I really dont think a lot of horsepower is what is needed. Good tires and suspension will be all you need.



ANYONE WHO LIVES IN THE AREA. IF YOU CAN RECOMMEND A HOTEL / MOTEL IN THE AREA I WOULD APRRRECIATE IT.



I was thinking somewhere where there is a town with places to eat and drink would be good. I am taking my 10 y/o son with me so I really will not be going out to drink. But I know the other guys might want to. I am going to drive/eat/sleep and that is it. Oh, and meet some NP guys.
