Default Thunder Road Tours

If you haven't checked out or committed to "The Old Hippy Tour", here's some extra information. Here's a link to Thunder Road Tours in Watkins Glen - for $25.00 ea. we can take a lap on the course. It will fit in well with the whole May long weekend tour. www.TheGlen.com
Great driving, great music, great fun. Are you in?

Yes - 3 laps. But I think that they provide the pace car. 55mph & no passing - I don't think that they want a bunch of amateurs like me wracking up our cars. I know that I don't want to. It will be fun anyway and make for some great pictures. If we don't see you before, we'll see you there!

I want to be last, go real slow and then floor it once I'm 1/2 lap behind!

Nice to know you are coming Sparkie. Is your paddle shift kit all done?

Hi Mario, yes paddles were completed and garage tested but waiting for the real test. It's not easy living in the Great White North. Can't wait till spring.

Would it be ok if a Pennsylvania resident joined your group in Watkins Glen? I was planning on going to the spring opening weekend but if you are bringing Crossfires I would like to attend. Ron

It would be fantastic if we had as many of our US brothers and sisters join in as possible. The more the merrier. I will be posting some more information about the Ramble shortly, and will include the names of those who are committed or have expressed interest. Because of ticket purchase requirements for the Ramble, we'll need firm committments, but more on that later. We can plan the numbers for the Watkins Glen ride from that.
Thanks for your interest - this will be a great weekend.
