I can probably go on the scouting run. Leading is less certain, given my history of leading.

Dumb questions:

1) Why are there two routes?  Considering the number of past breakdowns, having the scenic folk follow behind the other group seems like a good idea.  Granted, the fast group might have to wait 15 minutes for the scenic group to arrive at the lunch stop; but restaurants rarely seat large groups quickly.

2) When is the scenic tour scouting trip?

The Sightseer's Tour is a little less twisty for those who have issues with car sickness.  However, when in the mountains, it's difficult to give a lot of straight scenic roads with a variety each year. 

You are correct that the sightseers could start last as we have always done until the last year or two, and they drive at their own pace.  Of course, most everyone drives at their own pace, just that the pace of some is faster than others. 

On most roads, there are few places where the faster group can stop and wait on the others so even if everyone was on the same route it would be difficult to wait. 

If anyone thinks they might want to lead the sightseer's group, I can send you the route sheet and you can try to familiarize yourself with it on Google Maps, then lead the scouting trip by following the route sheet.

Room in Dillard reserved. Looking forward to another great event this year. Of course the Fiero will probably still be down, but I've got the Focus or Mustang to pick from.

I'll probably miss this year. Need new clutch installed and other mechanicals.

You can't fix stupid but, you can adjust it with a 2x4.

Did you get the rear knuckle replaced? 

You could always drive the G and take the sightseer's route.

See the newly inserted online link in the above post to register in Asheville.  Easier than calling the number.

It wasnt scouted and no one seems to want to lead it.  You may have to just sightsee the regular run or I can send the route sheet so you can study it and lead the others.

Either option is good, but send me the route sheet.  I'll discuss it with my navigator.

I'll send you both.  Garry and Vicki Dammond from Baltimore will probably take the sightseers tour, too, even though he drives a 3800SC.  I believe that's the route they took last year.

Finally made my reservations.
The links were quite useful, even though I missed the cutoff for the group rate.  :-\
