RFTH 23 Rerun
« on: October 08, 2018, 07:30:52 pm »
It's been asked about a Rerun of the RFTH 23 event.  Looking at possibly the last Saturday of October.  Who's up for it?  It will be a much more leisurely day than the official event.

Sounds like a Fall color tour.

I'm interested. I might be able to make it, but I can't make any guarantees.

For me, that's the only weekend in October that I can do it.  Granddaughter's birthday is the weekend before.

How do you do a leisurely run in 1 day, without hotel, but the fast run takes a hotel?

The hotel is because participants come from further away than they generally come for a rerun.  There is also the Saturday evening dinner after the run.  Some locals come in Saturday morning and depart during the run or immediately after the run and don't participate in the raffles or dinners and don't stay at the hotels. 

Formula Owner has the option of staying here in Auburn with his daughter, if their schedules match up.  Otherwise he would need a hotel for the rerun, or as he indicated, he might not be able to make the rerun.  He's about 6 hours away.

Sorry. Can't make it. SWMBO has decided that she is doing a show that weekend. My presence is "requested".

I'm about 4 hrs away. If I DO make it, I'll spend the night with my daughter, and I'll likely part ways with the group after the Tail of the Dragon. Which would be a little disappointing, as my favorite driving road of the day was Hwy 28 from Hwy 74 to Franklin, NC (where the hotel was). Many of the roads on the run needed to be driven by: accelerating, braking, turning, accelerating, braking, turning, etc. This section of 28 allowed a lot of curvy fun without a lot of accelerating & braking. Mostly just back & forth a lot. I drove most of it in 3rd gear, and rarely shifted. For some reason, this road didn't bother my wife as much, either, so I was able to push it a little more, allowing me to keep pace with the group.

The difference in speed from "all out" to "leisurely" doesn't result in that much extra time. I had my wife with me on the run, so I dialed it back a bit, making me the slowest car in the group. But at the stops, I was usually only a couple of minutes behind. My pace was a bit higher than "leisurely", but my guess is that such a pace would add no more than 30 minutes of driving time to the day.

On the trial run Sarge departed the group and headed west on US 19/74, but you could still do 28 and head west on US 64 which merges with US 19/74 over around Andrews.  US 64 can take you all the way to Cleveland, Tn. at I-75.  or US 411 down toward Rome and Cartersville. 

By leisurely, I meant that there would be no hurry to meet a deadline for lunch or dinner and we could rerun any part of it if wanted.  The driving part doesn't slow down very much.

So is this thing happening or not? Some of us need more planning than just getting up early and filling the tank.  ;)

BTW, I DID get a clutch system flush done. Nice, fresh fluid in there now.

Yes.  On the 27th.  Right now, confirmed is Jason in his new ride.  Jordan in the 85GT and Me.  Scott isn't sure.  Pat can't make it.  Dave is working.  Raydar has other commitments.  Roger can't make it.  Just invited HarryT to join us since he was out of state or country during the run.

To date, I have only me, Jason and Jordan going on the rerun.  Anyone else?  I need to set up our meeting place and print route sheets.
