Default Whatever happened to the Outer Banks Run?

Sorry, Noob question.

What kind of event was it?

Has anyone participate in it?

Why did it stop?

Thanks,

Tomas

If im not mistaken one of the hurricanes a few years back destroyed some of the ocean highways that was part of the run... HWY 70-somethin I think. I dont think the run is a do-able thing until that hwy is fixed. Thats what I thought I remember hearing.

it was also 8-10 hours of driving since there were no good places for all of us to stay. Got a little long. But the bridge was well worth it.

Yea, Hurricane Fran put an end to the event for a year and our community organizer never picked it up again.

Too bad. It was cool to ride the ferry and go in the lighthouses.

Dang, I'd like to do a costal/outer banks run... I bet that was fantastic... Come to think of it, I've never even been along the outer banks...
Good thread Tomas, as I too was wondering about this run and what happened to it...

Raul also added a second Dragon event (Wake the Dragon) in the spring, so a 3rd big event to organize may have been a bit much. The myrtle beach meet is coming up for those of you that want to cruise along the ocean, though...
