FYI for those coming from Seattle or coming up I-5, portions of 522 are closed this weekend. I'm going to have to work around it, my plan is to head across 520 and come up 405.

That was a great drive! It's been a while since I did a long drive with the TWR crowd. I'm actually glad I did this one. Those twisties were awesome! Felt bad for the S2000 though for getting the speeding ticket.

Did anyone take a picture of that green Geo Metro who flew past all of us?! hehe It was funny watching that little car blast ahead of us while we were driving home. I think all of us were running 65 on a 60 zone when he flew by.

As always, thanks for putting together another great drive, Kris!

I was leading that part of the drive back home, So yes I had my cruise control on at 60. I at drove 90% of the time with the cruise control and in six gear. Some one toll me one's that it could not be done!!!
Don't get me wrong, there was that 10% of very, very nice twistiest were I did down shift to second, zoom zoom zoom!!!

Chris was a no show. This was a new guy (AFAIK) who showed up last month too.

Francis has been on a couple of drives, if I remember correctly. Unfortunately when we got the last passing zone before Deception falls, the folks at the back of the line got a little more enthusiastic than the folks at the front, and I think my radio was acting up, so the "Smoky!" alert may not have gotten back fast enough. There were 3 WaSPs there, and the Buick in front of me got stung, as well as another random car, and one of ours.

As you can see from this picture we were all in a line. Kris is the second car in our line and the buick he spoke of is in the front of the line.

This shot comes via G356mtC on the-winding-road.com

Here's his photos which some are quite good.

And here are some shots I got
http://viewmorepics.myspace.com/inde...lbumId=2461594

Overall that was a hell of a fun drive. Ben Howard road I think was a highlight because of it's little hills and winding turns. Definately a good place to start out.
