But I would of been pissed if we got tickets. I would of went back to look for skid marks on the road.

But then she said she was told there were four cars and asked if I just joined the group. I said no I've been with the group then entire time. She then gathered all our licenses and she came back with warnings for spinning/squeeling our tires leaving the rest stop. Not one of us did that. I was the last in line and saw everyone pull away and one of us even came close to doing so.

...as we headed back home, I said to my wife, "look at these Vettes flying up" ~ turned out to be a red (ZR1) Vette and a couple GTO's
The one GTO screamed past so loud! and spitting flames the whole way - I could still hear them in Warrenton, while we were back in Amissville

The problem is the event is to large. We need to stop meeting outside the park and meet inside like the first few years. Skip the permit and change the dates around too.

The permit is
and gives the park service an opportunity to have us as the subject of their morning (partol) meeting

But he never came back to us, and we were doing a whole 41-42 on a downhill stretch.

She was going to bring her niece from Baltimore to ride with her. Kaila would have been blown away because her favorite car is the Corvette. And Robin's bf was going to ride with me and beg to drive. But it never happened.
