How 'spirited' a cruise are we talking?

I've only got 200 miles on my motor and only have a break in tune, so I'm probably only safely able to use about 100rwhp. That being said, I'm only moving 1350lbs.

Can I hang in the back of the pack and keep up?

Cheers,
Jason

Max speed for most of that route is probably 30mph even though it'll feel fast due to the twists and turns. I'd say the majority of the cars will be M5s so no way we're going to be leaving an Ariel Atom behind in those turns. LOL! You should lead!!

Cool see you in about an hour!

Folks, bring your 2-way radios if you have them. My cell is 408-569-4575 if anyone needs to reach me.

I had a lot of fun yesterday and I really hope everyone did too. Feel free to comment on how you think things could have been better or give suggestions for the next meet as I'm always open to new ideas.

I want to thank Jlevi SW for "sponsoring" our meet by covering the cost of the picnic site. That was very generous of you guys. And of course, special thanks to all those that contributed food, drinks and supplies for the BBQ. The food items were simple but delicious. But the best part of the day was of course, just hanging out with everyone and talking cars! Looking forward to seeing you all again at the next meet.

BTW, someone left a pink water bottle and a big bowl that was used for the potato salad. I think the bowl belongs to glord. Also, who has my two radios? haha

Glad you had fun Neil. The chicken you brought looked so good so I'm bummed I didn't get a piece. haha Thanks for bringing the stuff and for that mixed drink. I think that put me over the edge when I got home.
