Ill prob be going, be the only one left behind haha

Do not worry your not going to be the only n/a there. The members going from southern Maine we souls meet somewhere and caravan up there.

 

[Fluffy282]

I have to be mindful of my speed for another 3 months so ill be right there with you.

 

[hooligansti]

Marking my calender. I love mountain rips!

 

[WRB96IMPREZA]

I'm going but ill be riding with Spiller. I think I'd rather be a co-pilot.

People complaining about NAs are either 1. stupid. 2. need to shut up and drive better.

Highway, back roads, whatever, put your boohoos away and start looking for your beanbag.

I might bring the RS to this if I can have all the suspension stuffed back in and find some tires that aren't snows.

 

[WRB96IMPREZA]

I wasn't complaining... I just don't feel like driving that much. I'd rather just ride and use the walkie-talkie, plus driving alone is so boring haha.

 

[cwiggin]

I went on the drive to Cadillac mtn couple years ago, I kept up fine,

This year for the spring group drive the club has voted on the Sugarloaf route. This drive will start in Waterville,Me at roughly 9am. The drive in total appears to be 4hrs and roughly 160 miles. We will meet in Waterville at Mardens, point A and C on the map. You will see Mcdonalds / Burger KIng across the street,as well a gas station. Please park in the lot far enough away so we dont disturb normal customers. Make sure you have a full tank. Stopping to fill up with a large group isn't really possible. Remember to bring a lunch, im sure there wont be many spots to find food along the way.​

 ​

There will be no horseplay, reving your motors, being stupid while we wait for everyone....this is what got us booted from home depot at the fall drive and attracted un wanted attention. Theres simply no need for it.​

 ​

This will be a long day so make sure your car is up to par, break downs where we are going will cost you a ton in towing bills. Obviously we cant predict it but you can be proactive. Bring a spare tire, tools if you have them, extra fluids and whatever else you feel you might need.​

You can bring a radio if youd like, the chatter can get quite funny plus its a good way to keep the group together, cell phone coverage may suck a little out there.​

 ​

I think ive covered the basics, if you feel i fogot something please chime in. We can all create our own groups to drive to the meeting spot. I for one will be coming from Portland so whomever wants to meet up and drive together let me know where and when.​

i'm in if i can get off work

 

[korebit]

I'm in for this, can't wait

 

[JakeyPoo]

ill be home by then! im in. 

 

[AiRX]

We'll be there.

 

[CoupedUpSubie]

I wasn't complaining either, just sort of saying if I am there in my car be mindful if behind me. My car takes a bit to get going if I don't have it wound up all the time.

 

[blmpkn]

Ill be there! Cant wait.

 

[TylerB488]

Lol I'm not but If I am the only n/a car Not any fun

You wont be! my legacy is n/a!
If you can drive your slow car good you can keep up with the turbos in the twisties!

 

[CoupedUpSubie]

Like Matt said, his RS wanted to eat wrx's last time. All you n/a 2.5 people will be fine. 2.2 should keep up as well. We will see how a 1.8 does hopefully.

My biggest worry is people behind me smelling a cooking clutch from having to push my car to the limit. It will slip if I am shifting around peak hp and torque.

 

[C-Rolla]

Power will have nothing to do with it!! While on last years Kanc drive coming down bear notch I was all over three wrx and was yelling at them to go faster. Little na 2.5 was eating them alive and they couldn't do anything about it.

You weren't the only one!!  And at the end of the day, I got around 35MPG's keeping up with the turbo cars

 

[Ryan99OBS]

Are you going through farmington on the way there or back? In Rumford trying to find a place to jump in the line with everyone.

 

[Matt]

There's the route map in the first post.

 

[WRB96IMPREZA]

Asked for the day off from work. Cant wait for this! Its going to be a blast. 

 

 

[42012RS]

I'm going to try and make it! depends on how the car is holding up come then, she's gettin to the point she needs some help lol I'll just park it and ride with someone!
