Skyline Drive Cruise (from H-burg) & BBQ - Goodspeed - 09-03-2008
Just a heads up for everyone, on Sunday, September 14th we'll be having a Skyline Drive cruise, leaving from Harrisonburg at 11am.
Jeff was kind enough to offer his new house in Woodstock to us for a joint housewarming/MM gathering BBQ. We'd love to have people come out from other regions as well to join us, it'll be a great venue to enjoy this fabulous scenic road with great food and friends afterwards. So come out and join us in Harrisonburg for the trip!
Below is the proposed route: (from Hburg) 33 East to Skyline Drive, north on SD to Front Royal, then west to Route 11 and south to Woodstock. We'd then arrive sometime in the afternoon, cookout/meet&greet and then hit the highway home.
Hope to see you there!

nice - those pictures are beautiful
don't forget the $10/car for the National Park fee if you don't already have the pass
- Nis01 - 09-03-2008
I got a pass a few months ago. Its something like $15.00 / week or $30.00 / year...
I was just on Skyline Drive last weekend and it was beautiful up there. Too bad the miata is too low to be able to see over the little rock wall. :roll:
- DavidM - 09-03-2008
In, I'll even split that fee w/ whoever wants to drive me.

Don't even play, you'll be there with your silly Miata and you'll like it.

Make sure you guys keep your speed in check - it's a felony to speed on there right?
- balactm - 09-03-2008
my car can't speed. 2.2l H4 N/A FTL.

Not sure on the felony part but my experience is they patrol it like no one's business.

Would love to go-- I am currently on to shoot a field hockey game at one, but I will see if I can get out of that.

Never had a problem, went on a dcevoclub cruise through there and I Dont think our speed ever went below 80 mph, and im not sure how fast we were going but the porsche kept topping out 4th gear.

You got LUCKY. :-).

Like, winning the lottery lucky haha. If it's a state park you have to answer to a federal judge which is a huge pain. It's not a felonly for your everyday speeding ticket though.

Exactly. Guys remember not to be asshats up there. Be respectful, enjoy the drive, don't be THOSE guys.

I think we were just going quick enough that it was a quick drive.
Madison Motorsports cruises arent like these, its much more relaxed as we also have to worry about our reputation. Thats why I do the car forum's drives, and then just enjoy the scenery on MM cruises.

This sounds pretty sexy, and I think I can make it. Should we bring some food/beverages/pornography to enjoy at Jeffs?

it's not a felony, it's a federal crime - different court system and they're not as lenient there with much harsher penalties. i got pulled over by a park ranger going 42 in a 35 and the officer informed me, but didn't write me a ticket.
i wouldn't speed - be careful
Sunday eh? i'll see if the g/f wants to take a trip, i may be down.
- Feersty - 09-04-2008
I'll be in Texas! Sounds like a great route though.
