Excellent video, Nick!

All I can do is echo the sentiments of the others above. This event is the highlight of my year, an annual meeting and comparing of notes between some of the best friends and coolest enthusiasts the hobby has to offer.

Saturday's run that included Moonshiner 28, Cherohala Skyway, some "spirited" highway runs on I-75 en route to the Devil's Triangle, and the return trip through the Dragon and Hellbender was the MOST FUN I've had behind the wheel, ever. Kim was a trooper and only got a little nauseous at the end of the Dragon. I also got my arm punched a few times on the Triangle when the car was in a sideways drift coming around the apex. The fresh pavement on the Triangle made things... interesting. Rocks blasting the fenderwells like machine guns, rear-end stepping out from the slippery fresh tar... Ahhhhhhh.

It was a pleasure driving with 32krazy, Thirteendog, Jason HBC and Eric on that run. I was impressed with pizzaguy's abilities on the Cherohala, he kept up very well. Graphiteghost was a hoot. As Nick mentioned, Jason is one helluva driver. I felt honored to be the only Limited amongst the SLK55, SLK32, and two SRT's on that last run. Kim loved it.

Running up the Dragon on Sunday was my best run. Very fluid, very confident, and no mistakes. I can't say enough about the Continental tires. As much as I hate their misleading warranty, they performed beautifully for me and never gave me the pucker factor. And I started the weekend with 4/32 left on the fronts... ended with wear bars

Finally got to meet oledoc, what a nice guy. Wifey enjoyed meeting lots of folks and getting to see some old friends again. Franc's gas pump story STILL has her laughing.

Special thanks to Gary for all the diligence over the years in making this meet happen.

We will be at the spring run, no doubt about it.

Sorry if I left anyone out, too much to process for my limited brain-bandwith at this hour of the day
