Great time! Thanks for taking us around Chris :) I will definitely be going back up this fall when the scenery is even better.

Interesting weekend, had alot of fun, and some adventures too- some better than others.. haha

Im home safe and sound. That crash on 35W with the trailer was insane! I caught up to you guys right after that happened it seemed.

Glad everyone had a good time and made it home safe.

Yeah, the accident happened right in front of us, whoever was leading our pack had to have seen it. JET and Sheides stayed behind as they were on the phone and helping out, the rest of us kept going.

Wow, what happened and how much carnage?

We ended up taking 23 damn near all the way home as it lead us to the Mora, Cambridge, and then finally to a long backroad tour which broght us into Princeton. The Nav was nice for the trip back, we shave 30 min off the 35w route.

The drive up as very fun. Too bad we lost a car before the trip started. I hope that car stayed untouched over the weekend.

While up there, all in all things seems to work just fine (even the Hughes lead road course :D). The archer shop was fucking sweet, and Gooseberry was awesome. The hotel fun we great as well. Red bull taste like shit without the Jag! :D I got to know a few more members that I didn't really know before and all in all it was a great time, one I'd repeat any weekend.

I'll get pics up tonight. Glad everyone made it home safe.

Good time, shitty that me and sam got sick though. She has been sleeping since 530pm, i think i am in the worst of it right now.
Fun time, loved the expressway.

Definitely a good trip, thanks to everyone who was able to make it! We definitely had some good high-speed highway runs :) Hopefully everyone made it home safe without incident.

That accident today was pretty bad, but I'm glad nobody from our group got tangled up in it. From the looks of it, a red Cavalier pulling a small utility trailer lost control and flipped. The two girls inside weren't wearing seatbelts, but both survived.

I'm glad Archer was able to open up their shop for us to check out, they had a lot more Vipers tucked away in semi trailers so they were able to pull the DSM's into the shop. If anyone is wondering, the yellow/black 2G is being sold for $500 as it sits (no engine, tranny, drivetrain), the red 1G race car is being sold for $1200 with a good transmission (no engine), and the gray 2G Talon is being sold for $10k (13k on chassis, 300 miles on engine).

Holy crap no seat belts in a flip and they didnt even get hurt?? WOW!

What an awesome trip! 18 cars on the way up and 11 on the way back. Anna and I had a blast, glad to get more fun time with all of you guys! Brandon, looks like you're edging me out a little now and Aaron, just remember--it's reliable! ;) I'd do this again anytime, it was so fun.

The two girls in the accident were mostly fine, one had a broken arm and whiplash, but considering they were NOT WEARING THEIR SEATBELTS I think they're DAMN lucky! Here's what their car looked like:
