Sorry, I didn't mean to imply that. Just putting that out there. I remember this past Spring when Jason and I made a run at night... Only difference was we had no moon. You couldn't see a damn thing. When we made it to the bottom everyone in front of me had their lights on and I turned my off. If it wasn't for the blinking lights when I clicked the keyfob I don't think I would've found my car lol.

 

Great.
I had to goto Florida's mandatory 15hour school last week to get my official motorcycle endorsement. You are making me think about the segment on night driving and over-riding the headlamp. No offence taken, just planing on everything being timed perfectly in an imperfect world.

So if our 3rd party flies:
Depart SFB: 11:05 am Arrive GSP: 12:30 pm
~2 miles to BMW
Zentrum Tour Information: Approximate tour length is one hour.
164 Mi, 3h 30m PLUS the time to pickup....

What time is sunset?

Thanks,
Don

 

Just be safe RacerXofFL and you'll be ok. I hate driving that road at night, though talking with Jane the other day, she is right, that is the time when you are most focused....still hate it.

We have no idea how many will be joining us for the zipping, hopefully at least 10. I have a deep appreciation for heights...not, but I just can stop the doing the zip lines...

 

See, another night loosing sleep worrying about the details: I show Knoxville's sunset as 7:23 (fwiw: about that time for the duration of our stay)

So with a perfect flight arrival, allotting 2 hours to the plant, and a 30 minute pickup we *could* be pulling into Fontana before 7pm with some wiggle room.

I can live with that? Right?

Yes, being safe is what it's all about. How did I tell my wife the plan? Hey honey; yes?; I promise to have my life insurance paid up before I go; go where?

LOL

I know the groom to be in our party would like it, just checking if his brother would be coming.

I personally love heights, I waited like 4 hours in line the month Millenium Force opened.

So odds are you can count 2 of us as in, if not all 3 of us.

Night time is for drinking and smoking cigars...knock yourselves out....lol

 

I have the same obsession which conflicts mightily with my acrophobia.

Like knowing a hangover will follow, yet, I still drink.

My first ever Dragon run was done at night... LOVED it. To me, it added to the suspense.

 

Crumpy's first was at night. We entered the gates of 129/dragon about 10:00 under a soft intemittent rain, her SRT right behind me. With her headlights flashing in my mirror it was hard to see the road at times. And, I didn't want her to push it first time thru. So, I was gentle

About halfway through the Dragon the radio cackles with her sweet voice. In a polite but commanding tone the lovely lass let me know her thoughts. " Can you pick it up a bit old timer? I'm burning up my brakes back here."

Good God, I love that woman.

I leave for a few hours, and you guys are brutal

Nick, I will be bringing you something to keep that Merc shining...

 

Hey guys,

A local owner contacted me about coming down to the Dragon and joining us. I have been to the dragstrip with him where he is active. I'm sure docboy, Jim, will have stories, ideas to swap with you drag guys. I told him he is in for a great time with everyone. Please help me welcome him to a great group of people.



James

 

He in for a great time , will do are best to welcome docboy into the crossfire group , see you soon

 

Ditto... Wasn't sure what to expect!

 

Nick:

No. I will not go on anymore night runs!

 

Tom, if I hitch hike down there, you have beer to drink....no night runs... In fact, I may just sit and drink the whole weekend....lol...

 

No more high speed night runs

 

Come on, we have more light this time

LOL

 

Didn't someone almost hit a bear on the night run in the spring?!?

 

two legged or four legged....lol....

 

Scheiße I vergaß fast über die
