<-- likes to keep "group drives" to under 4 cars ever since the EVO incident.

I've heard that one before...seriously though, I don't think we'll have any issues, I trust this group for the most part...

I also consider this, I also know how I drive. If someone wants to get aggressive, I pull over and let them go. I have nothing to prove to anyone.

Okay, assuming we actually observe all traffic laws and don't get in a rush to get where we're going, I don't see where the real risk is. That means no passing, no hotdogging, and no speeding. Nobody is going to get lost. The idea was, I thought, just to go to somewhere with a great view for some group photos.Anybody that can't get there without pushing hard can just leave before the main group.

Basically, let's consider this a "caravan" to the top rather than a "group drive." Make sense to everyone?

werd. I don't plan on pushing it at all...especially since I still have a few things I need to do for the 30k...(sparks, fuel filter, pvc(?) valve).

Mt Rose & the top doesn't seem like a long drive to me. I think the Mt. Rose parking lot isn't even all the way to the top, altho going to the summit could also afford some nice lake views. I recently made that drive, and I think it took me 20 minutes from the fwy to where I was going.

Before taking off, we s/b reminding each other to keep our eyes up. 3 or 4 hairpin 20mph turns, right?

I'm in.
