F-Body Fall Cruise
 

Yoohoo??
Anybody here heard of the F-Body Fall Cruise?

http://www.fallcruise.org

It's Oct 21st this year. Starts around Rockford, heads up around Madison, WI, then winds back down towards Janesville area.
If you're from the IL/IA quad cities area, we head west and have lunch at the State Park near Lena, IL.
Reports say that because of the spring weather we had in 2006, supposed to be really vivid colors for the fall.
No fees or charges, anybody shows up in an F-Body is welcome along.
About 250 miles for the whole day, at least one trafic light, maybe no more than that (route not yet finalized).
I usually stay Friday & Sat night at the Janesville Motel6, so I'm well rested for the day.
Lots of photo ops.

The Fall one has more "open road" type curves and higher velocity twisties. (my Hawk cannot maintain 55mph on some of the curves unless in 3rd gear, and the tires are screeching a little).

im in almost for sure. loved the spring cruise!!!:D

Ill actually think about it... depending on if I have gas money. I refuse to drive in IL though :nana:

**** that
I got a stupid damn wedding to go too

AAHHHH WTF?

:(

wow thats like 2 tanks of gas!

Been there before and I do plan on going to this one as well.

To far for me, I'll go to RSD and watch some Ricer lose their money.

I might be up for it.

hllywood, let me know if you're going, cuz i'll probably tag along again. the spring cruise was a blast!

spring cruise was fun but a little toooo long since we had to wait for the guy who crashed. im going to the fall cruise which i heard was a lot better :D

Ya I think I can do it.
Ill let you know.

That same guy took that same Camaro off-raoding on the Fall Cruise, before repeating on the Spring Cruise - so it's not immune. But we didn't have to wait as long. The fall Cruise is a bit "shorter" because the day is shorter in October. The Spring Cruise is about 2 weeks away from the longest day of the year.

No offense but I hate driving around him. On past cruises when he's been behind me he rides me and a very unsafe distance while all the other drives who were behind me a different points left a safe amount of space behind me just in case something did happen. He really need's to learn to be careful. I guess that's obvious considering the amount of time that car's spent in ditches.

In accordance with the established Cruise Protocol, any driver can radio or hand-signal for a tailgating driver to pass him/her, and if it becomes a problem to also inform the Cruise Leaders, who are willing and able to stop the procession to deal with unsafe practices. The Leaders know where there are locations on the route which are relatively safe to do so.
You may recall where we stopped on the roadway (to wait for him) was a spot with visibility along the whole length of our group, and we knew it was there when Damon had to do a U-turn to go check on him. Even on a route packed with twisties like the Spring Cruise, we know where those opportunities are located. We like to plan in advance.
The leaders do not want unsafe driving to occur, or for 2 F-Bodies to contact each other.
And that guy gets reminded/razzed quite a bit over at his board.

haha whens it start, maybe able to make like half of it or somethin
