Ths STPR is so much fun to go watch. The wife and I have been there a few times and have always had a great time. I woulndt take the bike tho if you don't want it caked in dirt and mud. The spectator spot are all on some pretty wild roads.

Nice new bike also! I had a FZR600 back when i was young. Yamaha makes great bikes.

ok guys, i have mentioned this once or twice, and you guys seemed interested, and now that the weather is warming up, i think it is time to start planning.

who wants to cruise down past somerset county to Mount Davis, the highest point in the state?

i was thinking of shooting for June 14th with a rain date of June 28th.

there are no racing events going on on the 14th, and for the rain date, there is a flashlight drags race scheduled at zelie, but hopefully, we won't need the rain date.

both days are saturdays, and i would like to meet up at sheetz on route 51 south near century III mall at 10:30am. which is here:

then make the trek to Mount Davis:

here are the driving directions, google says 1 hour and 45 minutes of travel time, which sounds about right. there is a restaurant on route 40 that we could grab lunch at as well.

it's a nice scenic drive, so i think it would be a fun ride, and we can do some fishing right down the road from the mountain. i would suggest good tires, a full tank of fuel, and a fishing license.

my one word of warning is that there are some very fun mountain roads leading in to the summit. very fun, but also very dangerous. as long as people drive reasonably though, i don't forsee a problem.






so here is the summary:

Saturday, June 14th. (Rain Date of Saturday, June 28th).
Drive to the summit.

Meet at 10:30am here:

Drive to here:

Suggested Items To Bring:

Fishing Stuff
Fishing License
Cameras
Drinks/Snacks

i will see if i can find out if we are allowed to grill at highpoint lake while we fish.


let me know what you guys think.

it does look like a lot of fun from the you tube videos. my buddy lives out on the eastern part of the state and always heads out to this. he said there usually are a lot of sti/wrx guys, so i think i'll take the evo just to fit in

Yes it is mostly a subaru car thing for some reason. I only saw 1 evo the last time we went. Altho there were a few racing! .

Its realy cool to watch a rally cause the race cars drive on the streets just like eveyone else. I was filling up the car next to a group N subaru at the gas station. Plus all the pits and paddock are on the main green in town so you get to intermingle with the drivers and the cars.

Sounds like a really good time...just so long as we all don't drive as slow as Justin. Seriously dude, I know you're paranoid about cops/tickets, but I'm on the verge of falling asleep when following you out to various racing venues .

Count me in.

By the way, Jeremy, looking at some Stance AL+ coilovers - inverted, monotube, dual springs, 15 dampening settings, custom spring rate available (where I need advice).

Basically wondering what you would recommend for a custom spring rate. I know you experiment all the time, but what do you think would be a good compromise for daily driving/autoXing?
