So this trip to North Carolina is for Sept 6-7 ?
I should be able to make it. My other car club usually does a couple days track event at Pocono around this time to wind up the summer.

Boxsters love the mountains of NC! My parents have a house in Bryson City, (about 40 minutes east of the Dragon), so When you guys go, I will come out..
One sugestion for the trip:
28 between Franklin & Bryson city is better than the dragon.. the speed limit is 55!!
I was scrubbin' tires in the boxster & never made it over 45!
there is one danger, my 15 year old daughter was in the car & she got motion sickness!! Yikes!
right in the middle of these switch backs she put her head out the window & barfed!! she then sat in her seat & didn't say a word..
I said to her, "what was that?"
"I was barfing.."
I said "really? why didn't you say slow down or something?"
she said, "cause it was fun... and I didn't get any inside the car.."
"good girl.. now lets go wash the car..", I replied...

Skip, you are a gentleman and a scholar for pointing out that new road on which to drive while we're in the area in September... Can't wait to meet you and drive with you!

Thanks so much for the new road. I don't think I have played on it before.

I saw a cop car in photo 49 or so. Did you guys have issues with the law? Did you see the yellow Lotus that was in pic 70? Dang, I hate that I missed the trip.

Hey Skip,
We have named this stretch of the road on 28 the "Twisted Pickle". Sammy, Derb and I plan to buy one of the homes in the area and set-up shop with all kinds of "Twisted Pickle" stuff like; t-shirts, patches, stickers and post cards.
We expect it to become more famous than the TOD.
One of the t-shirts, for women, will be a camouflage tank-top that says, "I Rode the Twisted Pickle"!
We will be rich. Carrera GT rich. And a pink one for Mrs. Sammy!
Investors are welcome.
