Re: BritishV8 2017-Country Roads, Take Me Home
aeHeaded out 6am. About to connect with Ralph in Longview. I love my BF Goodrich g-Force Rival's in the dry and haven't had any issues around town, but I had a pucker factor going on US-59 @ about 70mph with an 18 wheeler behind me. All I could do was let off the gas. Be care out there!

I added names of spouses that I thought were attending, as well. Some of you may want to print this for reference. ;)

Re: BritishV8 2017-Country Roads, Take Me Home
I have a question for Jim or Dan Blackwood. I was wondering where you were going to setup for our cars in the parking lot? Would it be in the back or front parking lot? The hotel lady said probably in the front lot. The back dead end lot looks like it won't be big enough for our group.

That would be correct Calvin, on all counts. The car wash area is back by the pool. Welcome room will be in the corner to the left in that picture.

Re: BritishV8 2017-Country Roads, Take Me Home
Ok, there will be a Midwest contingent, Artie Clark, Mike and Al Moor, and Jim Miller, meeting at my house near Columbus, OH tomorrow around noon. (Artie isn't from the Midwest but we'll give him an honorary membership 😊 ) We will be going down US 23 to US 35 to I-64 in WVA. If anyone else is nearby and wants to join us at my house or along the way, send me a PM and I'll give you my address and phone number. It should be a lot of fun!
On a related note, the neighborhood in my garage is improving. There's a 68 and 78 in it right now! Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 06/06/2017 10:32AM by Scott68B. |

Re: BritishV8 2017-Country Roads, Take Me Home
FYI, they are doing some targeted enforcement on I-64 between Huntington and Charleston during the month of June. Also, always be wary on the WV Turnpike if you take that route. Drive with traffic and you should be fine.

Ran into a few on the way down to Wytheville. Keep eyes open for them. Roger Haber drove with us. 219 was a beautiful drive.
