I am in talks with a couple of car groups that do night runs as a group. They all meet up on a Friday nights and go for drives. If you are a RevScene member you should recognize NightRaven and Lomac. I think this would be a great way for many of us to get some extra drive time in our cars. The basic idea is, on a Friday night a car guy really has 2 options. Go to a car hang out and drink coffee and look at other cars, OR find a group of other car guys that would rather drive their cars than look at them. Recently our group has fallen into the hang out and look. I think we should move towards the Drive side of it.

Will someone stay in the back with me? I don't like to push her past 110km/h.

No fear - we rarely top 250 anymore. You'll catch up. ;) |

On our runs, there are a few members that do have a tendency to open it up a bit. However its not usually the entire group. The faster guys always find a nice pull off and take a few mins to relax while the main group catches up. We never just "leave" anyone behind. Everyone uses Radios on the runs and with the newer radio's having 13+ KM ranges everyone is always in contact with at least one other person. Besides in a worst case scenario there is always at least 2 or 3 people that will openly share there cell phone numbers with the group. As for top speed, I don't think any or our current members cars have the capability to turn an honest 250kph, however 200-225 has been touched a few times by a few of the more radical members. ------------- Capt Fiero 88 Fiero GT 5spd V6 Eight Fifty Seven GT V8 5spd. |

Well let me know before hand if it's going to be a "Top Speed" cruise. I'll bring my motorbike instead of my car. Then we'll see who can do 250. |
