Car count:
GTR!!!

Some guidelines:
- Keep a good distance back. Or else you'll get blasted with pebbles. I hear some of you are running track tires 8)
- Keep an eye on the car behind you. If he falls way back, slow down and try to keep him in your sight (in case of mechanical failure, etc). The car in front of you will do the same and eventually will produce a chain reaction up to the leader.
- If the car behind you is faster, signal him to pass at a safe section (i.e., stop sign, long straight)
- We'll wait for everyone to catch up at major intersections

Looks like we'll have around 20+ cars of all different makes.
Few reminders:
- Check fluids (oil, brake, coolant)
- Tire pressures
- If you have onboard navigation, use it as it'll show you what turns are coming up. Zoom in to give yourself enough detail but far enough to give yourself plenty of warning. These roads are very twisty but there will be plenty of long fast straights (160+)
- Plenty of bottled water. Your mouth will get dry from all the adrenaline rushes!
- Drive at your own pace! It's not a race, you get no prizes for showmanship.
- Most importantly...HAVE FUN!!!

Niche mentioned this to me at the Cbad coffee this weekend. Little nervous about the "160+" comment. What's the mild group like?
