Run For The Hills # 18, September 20-22, 2013
« on: July 03, 2013, 08:43:00 pm »
Mark your calendars and arrange time off from work.  Make arrangements to put the kids in reform school and the dogs in obedience school.  Or you could just bring them along.

Georgia Fiero's trusty scouts are roaming the back hills of Georgia and the far reaches of Northern Alabama and into Southern Tennessee for the best roads we can find to test that new suspension, brake upgrade, or engine swap.  It will even give the old stock stuff a little to huff and puff about.  I guarantee you, there's going to be a lot of twisting going on. 

We will be updating this thread from time to time, so please check back regularly to see what's happening. 

Edit: RFTH18 information is here!

The secret is volume.  For every good pic I produce, there are 20 bad ones.
Sometimes, as Greg has posted, I get a great pic of the dash.

Greg called today, from a roadside in Michigan. 
Said something about a spun cam gear and that the 4.9 swap might happen sooner than later. 

He isn't stranded; his cousin was on his way with the trailer.

*Sigh*

It wouldn't be RFTH without a time crunch leading up to it.

Firefly, here's a chance to drag out all those pictures you've taken over the years.  Everyone else is invited to contribute, too.  In order to get graphics onto the art and accept orders, please try to get them to us by Saturday August 3. 

We are in need of artwork for this year's event tshirt and coffee mugs.  In recent years, my photo library has diminished due to not having a passenger riding with me. 

The person who's photo is selected for use will receive one of the limited edition event coffee mugs, and I think the club can also provide you with a free event tshirt.  This will be the sole compensation for permission to use your photo. 

Since we will not be having a raffle this year, the tshirts and coffee mug raffle will be the only way we will have for raising funds. 

Submit your photos to   GeorgiaFieroClub@Gmail.Com    Subject:  RFTH 18 Photo Contest

Good news!!

Greg sent me a pic today showing active gauges on the 'vert. 
He didn't kill it after all.  Ignition module!  He will be driving it home from Michigan in the next few days.

Many of the pics I have taken are on his computer because they were with his camera, so when he gets home we can send you all the pics you want.   He may even be able to set things up to where you can browse them directly from his machine.

Can't make the RFTH this year, but if anyone wants to run behind the pack in their small SUV or whatever, they are welcome to take along all of the roadside emergency stuff I bought.

Oil, coolant, small toolbox, extra fuses, ECMs (V6), traffic cones, flashing lamps, etc.

There will be a trial run of the proposed Alabama/Tennessee run on Saturday July 20.  We will be starting in the Statesboro Scottsboro, Al. area near the intersections of Hwy 72 and 35.  Start time is 9AM.  Ron768 will post the exact location with information as soon as he determines a good spot. 

TopNotch will be traveling over from the Atlanta area on Saturday morning and there may be others, so if you want to drive over with other Fieros, contact TopNotch.  There are a number of people from Alabama that want to make the trial run, also, including a couple of Corvettes.  Could be interesting.  Correction:  RFTH trial runs are always interesting.

Meeting place for those going on the scouting run will be at the Chevron gas station which is near the intersection of 35 and 72 in Scottsboro. As you near 72 there is a light with a Home Depot sign. Turn right off 35 at that sign and follow the service road to the left. Go in front of the car dealerships and continue until you see the gas station. There are several fast food places there if anyone wants to get something to eat before the scouting run. We can top off with gas and go. There is also a Wal-mart behind the station. The lat long is 34 4009.70N  86 0030.92W. according to Google Earth. See everyone Saturday morning at 9 am!

The mailing address of the Chevron is:

Trotters Chevron
24860 John T Reid Parkway
Scottsboro, AL 35768

It's about 3.5 to 4 hours travel time from areas around the Atlanta perimeter.
