Well, it was a blast. I believe my car (the stealth 100Q) was the slowest of the bunch, having only 130 horses to haul around 4000 pounds. But, keeping my foot in the gas a lot, as usual, kept me up with the group. I will say I learned a ton about driving my car at high speeds, and not around some artificial track, but on real roads in real life. Thank god for new tires and suspension bits. The replacement bushings all around made a huge difference. Bear Notch Rd. was a blast (I did it three times). The washboards Osman talked about gave me a bit of a scare the first time, but my trusty car chewed through them easily. Probably the best part of the trip was the tail end down route 153 from Conway to Sanbornville. By then, it was down to Paul, Me, James, Jim, Jim, and two others whose names escape me. The official speed record on that road was 86 MPH. Not bad for a posted 35 (honest officer, we weren't speeding ;-) Lots of twists and turns, lots of practice at speed.
