TST Fall Run (The Pumpkin Roll) *Links to pictures are up, and so is the video*
 

Ok as some of you know I am throwing a run this year in the spirit of last years fall run. It is known as the Pumpkin Roll. The run is full but I am taking people who want to go on the backup list in case anyone can't make it.

The run will be starting in Allentown and run through the Poconos, into Jersey, through the Delaware Water Gap rec. area and back into PA. Total will be over 118 miles with stops for lunch and pictures, culminating in a dinner meet.

This years run will not be a high speed run but it will be hard on the cars that are driving and is only for excperienced drivers. Keep that in mind and if you think you fit the bill post up in here and if a spot opens you will be in. If you do replace someone please don't take it lightly you are expected to go and shouldn't drop out on a whim. There are a lot of people that would like to go on these runs so please only accept if you know you will be making it.

A VOLUNTEER IS NEEDED TO DRIVE IN FRONT OF CIZIN TO BE ON THE VIDEO. WE WILL NOT BE EDITING SO YOUR PLATE WILL BE SEEN.

**The current list of attendees**
Cizin and guest
Honest_Bob and trunk monkey
Martang
Buster and Susie
Subie_Sleeper and guest

Jwan01??
I am holding open a spot while waiting for one more response.

Date of the run is Oct. 13th

THIS IS ONLY FOR THE BACKUP LIST


WAITING LIST:
1. UnderPoweredRS
2. 2pointOT


**EDIT**
After keeping track on the practice drive we found the run to be a grand total of 170 Miles!!!!!! we have now included time to stop for an hour and a half (give or take) to walk around Bushkill Falls. I am still working on getting the video shrunk down to show some shots of what to expect. Also a spot has opened. The first person on the waiting list has been notified, if he can't make it the next person will be contacted.

what day and date will it be..im down but i gotta have it scheduled

Sweet Im on the list and didnt know about it! lol Im stoked!

Added the date Make sure you read everything in that post because I know you've broken end links before and you will definately be able to do the same on these roads just so you know.

Guys these runs are fun as hell! I went last year and loved it! :mrgreen:

Yeash apparently you fall under Co-Pilot lol

Nah we got that issue fixed. Yea im definately down...why is the list so small tho. dont worry about me keepin up with you guys im a great driver

Well since this is my first run, and the roads are very tight with a ton of turns, a smaller group is much easier to organize and keep together.

Can we do a Fall Crawl so I can bring the Mini....

Thats true. As far as cornering I do fine, but I lack the grunt in between the turns so if im gona be runing with 300+whp cars it will turn into a problem..however since you said its not a "high speed run" i will be OK

Yes this is true! Roads are fun as hell to drive on but we do come across a occansinal stop sign and that takes for ever for everyone to catch up. A smaller group will be better!

now what do you mean itl be hard on the cars...

Dude that's not even right I would kill to have the mini along. You sure you wouldn't be able to keep up? In the spring I should have my 66 beetle on the road and I will be doing a much slower run. Hey do you know anyone looking for a bug I am trying to offload my 77 lol.

CleanNeon you might be better off waiting for a slower run, it's not really high speed but there will be parts where we take off and it would be rough for you. Like I mentioned to mike I am doing another one in the spring, I will post up and make it more open if you want to join us then.

I apretiate it, but im not a bitch. Il push my car if needed, and dont worry il keep up...dont believe me do a practice run with me and see for yourself I trained with basically a pro the whole summer. as long as you guys are staying on pavement i have nothing to worry about

I'd be down to go.

Forza 2 and Him are Mad tight Yo!!

It has nothing to do with forza, but its just the fact that I can drive as well as anyone else on that list if not better

HAHAHAHHA! Yea its def a nice run, no race but def a fast pace! At one point last year my two front tires came off the ground! That was fun. :rock:

It's not a driver issue man, it's a speed issue and me being able to account for everyone through the run. Maybe Cizing and Honest_Bob could explain it better then I am. You seem to really be taking offense when I mean none. I am just making sure no car is damaged in the making of this run lol. There are a lot of potholes, bumps and such that make it rough on your car. Rich will back me up on that from last years run.

I drive a honda, itl never break lol. Im not taking it personally, honestly if im not gona be on the list im not gona show up out of the blue. Dont worry about my car or me, but if you dont put me in I wont come...definately wana go on a spirited drive though if the one in the spring is gona be a bit "slower" and u think i cant do this put me in for spring, il have more time to practice now, in the spring, and winter for practicing my accident aversion

ok im not want to even give you time of day on your douchebaggery, but i bit.

how do you know you can drive as or better than anyone on that list? you have proof or are you talking out your ass as usual. do yourself a favor and go find other people to annoy with your stupidity.

Not in this thread please.

:wiggle::drag::wiggle::drag:

my apologies man..

I guess taking the Leg is outta question then huh? lol


Everyone just chill. Im sure plenty more runs will follow!

Im sorry Alex, but I can out drive you with a broken hand. That was a way bold statement. And I mean that as in straight line and carving turns. I sure as hell would not want your car behind mine or have to be stuck in front of you. HP plays a big role in how fun this run will be.

Sorry, I had to get mine in also. Ender is just trying to make this run as safe and enjoyable as possible. Look at the list and look at the cars. all have equipped suspensions and tires and brakes that suit them well to more than spirited driving.

Ok we get, move along everyone unless you want to be put on the backup list! Dont make me angry!

Why is Liz riding with me? :wink::-p

I'm stoked.

I have upgraded my suspension tires and brakes as well but it doesnt matter since everyone has so much a faster car than i do.

Ender put me on backup for this run, and include me in the spring one as well

Theres a big difference there Alex, don't be bitter. Hes just making sure its safe.

SO! Are we going to be stopping to pick pumpkins for the pumpkin carving contest?

Yea I gotcha...well I guess il have to come out to an autocross or somethin to show my skills...but anyway im done posting in this thread cause its becoming a bit off topic

I hope Ill have my goldies on for this!!

I want in next year when my next motor is in the car.

We certainly can, there is a place down the street from hot dog johnny's :)

You'll be the first to know. I want a ride in the mini when it's done, I have always loved those cars almost as much as my beetles lol.

Hi, Could you add me to the "back up list" please? This looks like fun and ill be looking for some time away from the family by mid Octorber! The cool weather should make the STI run ALOT better also.
LMK what you need from me.
Cheers

Awesome!

Definitely let Ron in with one of his awesome cars!!! Like right away.

i'd like a spot on the backup list. as usual i can't say if the army will let me loose or not
