No problem at all and I must say that I was very impressed with "most" of the Fit owners that showed up, the way you guys carried yourself was much appreciated. I say "most" because I'm waiting to hear from someone about something that was said or not said about me

All I can say about it is this, I HAVE NO IDEA WHERE IT COULD'VE COME FROM and the guys who told me about it have no reason to lie either. Either way, it was completely uncalled for!!

Just so the others on the forum that drove with the group aren't left guessing... The "comments" came from me. KA and I exchanged texts about it last night. I'm a wee-bit older than most of the group, and was messing with them a little to see where they were coming from. I think a few people (that have HUGE egos) in the group took some of my comments a little too seriously. That's what happens when you get some new voices in a group that's been together for a while, and the main group has never met the new blood face to face before. Usually, the new guy needs to be "accepted" first before being taken seriously. I have a way of getting under people's skin I guess...

There was enough chest puffing and dissing of the "lesser" cars to go around for everyone, and frankly, the "stronger" cars could only back it up with HP. I probably rubbed a few of the guys the wrong way, and probably bothered them with my aggressive driving, but, that's what I was there for.

It is what it is. I had a lot of fun. But 50HP more in the Fit would have been even more fun, and REALLY would have turned the tables.

Since the drama and egos are escalated, all I have to say is:
It's a good thing my wife wasn't there with her Fit......She would have trimmed your ass!

Cherohala Skwy, Dragon, Moonshiner Rt28, and Rt143 which is the NC side of the Cherohala and crosses Rt129 in Robbinsville and connects with Moonshiner28. So you can loop back-n-forth in multiple directions, which we did quite a bit.

Glad no drama was around Friday, everybody seemed to get along fine. I also heard no one dissing any of the cars.

It was all campfire nonsense. Some people take themselves waaaaay more seriously than I do.

Yeah no joke, I had enough of that just after a few hours and looks like I missed most of the drama, lol. Some people forget that this is supposed to be fun... Anyways - killboy's blog shows the S2k, Cobalt SS, Miata and SVT Contour on the first page of the highlights. There was also a shot of a black GE8 with a pink lip - didn't see this one on Saturday, maybe it was there earlier in the week? Had fun running up there with you guys. You guys were quick!

Heres a few sites that have pics from the weekend if you guys are interested in buying:

killboy.com (killboy.blogspot.com)
US129photos.com
129slayer.com

Edit: I just saw Jim posted similar links, these are general links to sites and you can go from there.
