While we were waiting at the samford road turnoff for the 6 or so cars that got lost...
Old Lady - "are you racing? Theres like 60 cops coming up behind us RIGHT NOW if your racing."
Me - "I just came up from that way, I didnt see any cops. I also have friends back there and they havnt rang me."
"THERES STILL COPS COMMING AND WE HAVE PEOPLE IN THE BUSHES WITH CAMERAS (no shit, she said, she has people in the bushes) AND WE HAD A COMMUNITY MEETING"
"Kay."
Classic.
So a few hickups. A few people got lost, it got seperated a few times, that unfortunate incident with the orange light and the two 33's having man-love. The biggest non-event of the night? When the cop car rocked up next to me after we pulled over to wait to regroup for heading to mt mee. He had a quick chat to me then toodled off after some bright spark thought it would impress the girls accross the road if he did a maaaad skid. Right infront of the police shop. Whoops. In the mean time however some other bright spark lost his nuts and hooked it and headed back the way we came after seing the xmas lights, and half the damn cruise followed him.... Most of them came back, but I think we lost one or two.
Mt Mee was my favourite of the runs by far. It was fresh and intresting to me, i hadnt been up there much before. The intake temps were good and thoes 100-km/h speed limits were gold. Mt Nebo is my old stomping ground and I was sitting right on the speed limit everywhere I went on it while I was setting the pace.
All in all for 80% of the cars and cruisers the night went off without too much of a hitch. There was a bit of a wait while we waited for thoes who miss the samford turnoff to come back from summerset dam, but other then that everyone seemed to have fun. I sure enjoyed it.
