And a quick vid from the cruise up. Mind you, this was my first time seeing Hussein's car. All I have to say is holy shit.

Great pics! There was a nice range of marques present.

Nice to see familiar faces and meet some new ones :)

Definitely no wheel hop or clutch issues now, I'm happy about that. Have some minor issues to resolve before we drive to Montreal & Quebec on Tuesday.

I had a great time - next year I have to bring sun block, & a folding chair!

Definitely a good time! We keep taking up all the space we can get everywhere we go! That's not a bad thing though. Definitely some nice pictures too. Wish that damn camary & suburban weren't dragging ass on the whole ride up though. It was a great day for a back road drive and they crapped all over it cruising well under the speed limit. Sorry about the whole blast & pass on those 6 cars in front of us though... got a little trigger happy haha.

The sun screen is a must from now on... I should just leave some in my damn car as well as a folding chair. Hopefully that will even out my drivers tan from the prior weekend up to rochester!

Hussein, your car as usual blows my mind. You fly by like I'm moon walking backward, great job! it sounds fantastic & I think tom got a little chubby from the smell on the ride up!

Whaddaya mean sorry?! I quite enjoyed watching that!!! Lol :D

I text Hussein saying I'd only do 60 until everyone had a chance to pass but then realized I was the "leader" with the directions... yea we all have smart phones haha but I didn't want to be a dick even if it was literally the 1 road we would be on the whole way... it was fun & if I were smart I'd have told people ahead of time & had someone get some videos but oh well...

Timbo Brady & I hit up the "fun run" on our own as we missed the group due to lights... Still a blast but I will say to everyone who hit up that road, TRY IT COMING DOWN!!! shit's crazy haha I loved it coming up but at a point you start peeling out up the low speed corners through the turns. Coming down is a whole different story and I will say after that I realize that yes my brakes work well but shit I want bigger ones! if we weren't prone to attracting cops, it would be sweet to be able to go up to Treman then back down. Just wouldn't want a string of cops to be waiting at the bottom after we come back down ahha!

If anyone has video of said road ^^^ please share! That one s turn was bonkers

that one turn haha... that ONE turn was back to back to back to back 90's along with the rest of the crazy turns that is one hell of a run! they should have it closed off for us but the whole insurance blah blah bullshit. It reminded me of the hill climb I saw last year after I left the Poconos Raceway. Beautiful road (freshly paved) and it was shut down but they had like formula cars & purpose built cars. Giant's demise Hill Climb although they also started in like early 1900's haha but one day we might get there
