Thanks, I'll be the guy with the Fujita hat on - or my little one will be wearing it. Either way, look for a black/orange Fujita hat!

Ah, someone already added me to leg 1. Thanks.

Also, I heard from a friend of mine that was supposed to come with ME, that there is a Z/G meet that day at Skyline. Which is kind of a coincidence. Or perhaps they are just tagging along with us? Anyone know?

I hope there's a big group of NSX's. That'd be hot.

I really think we all started all of these meets. I think they are meeting in the same locations as we are. And yes about 8 NSX's are supposed to show up.

Has/does anyone know anything about getting media coverage? I contacted the local biggies (NBC4, FOX5, ABC7 & CBS9) about ten days ago. Haven't heard back from any of them.

Any thoughts or suggestions?

Now we have to be careful because with media comes Police so we will have to be on our P's / Q's

If the group gets big enough, I would recommend contacting the police department in Front Royal (or whichever municipality is in control at the entrance we will enter from) and requesting an escort through the town in order to avoid the problems we had last year with having to put people in harm's way and stopping traffic.

As for media coverage, rather than going after the big stations, try local stations such as WJLA8 or even magazines and newspapers. If one media source catches on to this, the others will likely follow.

The FRPD also advised that the Rt. 55 entrance to Front Royal has recently had its speed limit reduced from 35 to 25.

The park police are cool when my friend had a problem with his car the last time I was there the cop on duty was very helpful and chill we even had him park behind my friends car with lights on for pictures hahaha. Also if I’m correct the Corvette guys have 2 meets a year at skyline drive and they come with at least a 100 cars so if we have 50 cars it won’t be that much more then last years Acurazine meet and I think it went very smoothly.

I agree with Unevanko..we need a charitable cause to get their attention. If anything, we could setup a somewhat short car show and donate all the money to an organization

But then don't think we have enough time to do all that

If we stay organized this year and skip the last minute regroup, or wait until we get onto Skyline Drive to reorganize, we should be okay.

And if we can get up to 100 cars, including all of the other groups that may be joining us, then we can revisit the police issue.

Eveybody can count me in. Im definitly down to for a cruise. When I used to own a prelude I went to a meet before except we got a spot at I believe Sandy Point State Park and BBQ'd. That was a good time. There were bimmers and some supras there too. In fact we should have a BBQ!

For those in Leg 2. Should we go North on 295 or 95. What about meeting in front of Circuit City? I think 95 will be easier to stay together (more lanes to pass) just my

. What you guys think?

Safety briefing and Shenandoah National Park Info.

Here we are members about a week out from the Skyline Dr. Mega meet and everything seems to be going smoothly. Lets keep it that way! Its looks like the weather forcast is going to be beautiful! It may be on the cooler side 60-70 degrees and quite chilly in the later hours so dress accordingly. Remember the temp. is a little cooler in the mountains. The recent rain and lower temps. should be the recipe for some very colorful fall leaves. Remember if there are any leaves on the road driving becomes hazardous so pay attention to speed. We are all adults so we dont need a lecture. Lets have fun but think before you act. What you do or dont do can affect the whole group.Dont forget ID's, auto registration, insurance info., tools and jumper cables. Check your rims/tires, engine fluids, belts , spare tire/jack and lights. Please be careful of whats on your person, vehicle and in your blood stream that day in case you are stopped by the police. Know your driving ability, capabilities of your vehicle and dont push it to that limit. We want to have good memories and not tradegy. Lets police each other and come home in one piece.

Skyline Dr. Entrance Fees

March through November $15.00 per private, non-commercial vehicle Pass is valid for day of purchase and next six days Includes passenger cars, pickup trucks, RVs, vans, and converted buses.

December through February $10.00 per private, non-commercial vehicle

MOTORCYLE $10.00 Pass is valid for day of purchase and next six days
