does anyone who is going, want to do the colonial parkway cruise after?

 

Works for me. That's on my way home anyway.

 

I've been at the last 4 Williamsburg C&Cs and have usually been the only S2000, maybe one or two that shows up as well. As soon as I no longer have my car everybody comes down.

By the January one I should have a new one, well hopefully sooner.

ps if it's raining please don't drive on the parkway.

 

I figured that's where you wrecked. Wasn't sure though because I don't think I know where that 7-11 is in the pictures.

If it's raining they'll cancel it anyways though.

 

This is where I wrecked, 7-11 was up 17 a bit:

Turned right from the Redoubt ramp and lost traction almost immediately upon acceleration and ended up a few hundred feet further down on the other side of the road in the ditch and trees. I just could not get over how slick that surface was in the rain, the park rangers who were with me said that it happens quite a bit in the rain, the road was built when cars were a lot slower than they are now.

I won't be going anywhere near the parkway even in overcast from now on.

 

Smooth inputs on the gas and the brakes, always. The S2000 punishes folks who mash the pedals.

The Parkway is a nice road, don't let it scare you off.
