My fiancé and I are planning a meet and drive through the Blood Mtn. area to Helen, GA.
PM me with any questions.
It should be a blast! See below for details...
Ouch, that's early coming from the southside. I may have to catch up for the lunch in Helen and do the reverse route. Hopefully there won't be too many tourists on the road by then.

Is this open for some old-timers?
I happen to work in Helen GA and I have another friend who lives in Cleveland, I'm sure me and him wouldn't mind showing you guys around up there seeing how we drive those roads almost every weekend.
Is this open for some old-timers?
I hope so!!!
I think that the only requirement for the "old-timers" is if you let some of us less fortunate e30 owners drive your cars.
i wish i could go but im going to ULTRA music festival (largest rave in NA) in miami that weekend but how often do you all go up to the mountains and tear it up
every weekend would be fun. had a friend with a built mini S that hit the dragon about every weekend. knew that road like the back of his hand... till a bear jumped out in front of him, and he crashed into a tree. glad he's alright though

yeah jeff, when we went to the dragon in 06 with the mini event, someone hit a bear on thur, and had a messed up car all weekend. and someone rolled down an embankment 80ft, but got out fine. open roads are dangerous.

About 4 or five years ago we had a huge MTNrun and some kid (who borrowed his brother's M3/4) came around a blind curve and had to swerve to avoid cars ahead that had stopped. He went off the road and down into a ravine and totalled the car. He was really lucky that he wasn't killed.
There are no winners or losers on mountain runs. Just drivers who get to enjoy life and their rides another day.

OH YES!!
Yes, I plan on driving that point home before we leave the Best Buy parking lot.
We will be handing out maps, so nobody has to feel pressured to 'catch up' or drive 'fast'. If you feel like stopping for a photo-op DO IT! I'm sure a bunch of us will be willing as well, yet another thing to go over before departure that morning
I'd like to remind everyone that plans on going to bring a still camera and video camera if you have one. Why not have some pics and vids to share once we get back
You can PM or email Me or Bridget for the details (if you can't read the JPEG above)
