Who had fuel issues? it isn't that high elevation IIRC. A little over 3k. Had to be Tim!!

j/k buddy

Don't forget that Kevin represented AL.

Ever thought of making this a full parkway event? Cherokee to the Va end? 400 miles I beleive and a couple nights out. As everyone else is I also await pics,.

Good turn out.

The wife and I traveled 5 states, over 1000 miles in 24 hours.

Still making up for missing the drive to 7stock.

Ah yes that would be me with the fuel issues since I was the only carbed car at the meet. My dual Facet fuel pumps are getting tired I guess (20 years old). Time to swap em out for a higher rated psi pump and a return regulator.

I'll have pics up later. Stay tuned.

I did think about doing that the first year. Gianny and I did a "test" run for getting travel time. Took a full day and still didn't get all the way. After looking at it, we determined that anything north of Boone, NC just felts like just a regular country back road. It wasn't the majestic beauty of the 90 mile stretch I focus on.

Another reason for the shorter trip is so that people don't have to sacrifice too much of their vacation time from work to come to the event.

Also wanted something that will be "manageable" as the event grows and more than 10 cars come. 400+ miles is a task!

I figured as much that it would be too big of a deal for a large grouop. I have done it on a motorcycle and had a blast. But I had no timeframe to keep to either.

Anytime anybody wants to do a run on the PRKWY give me a shout. If Tray doesn't /isn't able to house people, I have a place in Saluda, NC available all winter that we can stay at. Can sleep plenty in the main house and the roughnecks can take the unheated(exceopt by fire) other place.

N.RotaryTech · 10-26-2009, 03:57 PM

At wallmart.

Parkway.

Ill be working on getting more pictures on my photobucket (rotarytech) next few days.

Had a good time.
If only the dogs at trays parents house didn't stink up the room with fart Friday night. lol.
Sorry I was away from the camp fire Saturday night I was trying to get some sleep before we went for a night run, but we never did.

It is awesome that people came from more states other than NC an SC.

Later.
-Toby.
