Ok so it's kinda tied. I say we go with Saturday for the cruise then go and watch Autocross on Sunday. I'm probably going to go with the two leg route (option 2). We can grab some lunch in Washington or Marthasville even. I am really wanting to get some footage during this cruise so that I can make a new video for Gateway Subies, so can I get a volunteer to lead this route so that I can go ahead on the route and set up stationary positions and get some good rolling footage and what not? We've run this course before (maybe with a variation since there is the possibility of winery traffic.
So, if you're down to attend comment and I will put your name on the list. Walkie Talkies would be a good thing to have on this.

I'm down to drive a camera car or something if you need. I suck at leading.

I like taking photos with my new camera so at some of the points we can get group photos! I just bought a Nikon P520 with some of the extra money from KH Series.

The OP is edited to have the two legs of the route. IIRC, this route is all paved, but very windy. Plenty of hills and blind corners, but two-way the whole way.

I made it bold so it doesn't get lost in the other stuff. There are some pretty nice turns on these roads for leg one into a HWY section, from there we enter Washington. THe way back is full of twists and turns, up until the end when we may or may not run into some traffic.

If we don't end up going out of town, I'm in for sure. We're going to watch the weather, and if it looks like no rain at the lake then we'll go out of town.
If I do end up going, I'll bring my cameras. I have a Canon C100 and a Canon 7D, as well as a GoPro with a suction mount.
So I guess put me down as maybe, lol.

Just ran the test route -- looks good!
Going to write up the driving notes, hopefully with pictures of key intersections, later this week.

Looking like I may be able to make this one :-) Any suggestions on which brand/type of Walkie Talkie to pick up that will work with others... or where to pick one up for that matter.
Really looking forward to checking out memmek2k's car as it is a 2008 stage 2 & it looks like I will be heading there soon with my 08 WRB WRX.

I was able to run the route yesterday and found some pretty sweet spots to get pictures and get some video. Michael, you and I will need to do some coordinating since I will be playing catch-up here and there.

I'm going to have to actually clean my car for once. I had a minor casualty on the test route -- one of my mudflaps got loose, lol.

What means clean car? I took a slight detour while testing and may or may not have visited Callaway Fork rd. (gravel and 2 stream crossings) That was fun No mudflap casualties here!

BTW, I have a passenger/photo person seat open if anyone wants to ride along and help out. We won't be in on the cruise that much, more getting cameras set up and whatnot. Additionally, if anyone has an extra memory card that I could borrow that would be awesome because I have only found the one of mine and I need two (one for gopro and one for dslr).

Good to know the guy there so I got the base line price from him. the box was open but everything checked out as well, came with two batterys, a memory card, and a little bag.

I wrote up some quick notes on the cruise -- any thoughts? I'll probably print out a few copies later this week depending on how many people say they're coming. 2013-07-27 cruise.pdf (275.6 KB)

Really looking forward to checking out memmek2k's car as it is a 2008 stage 2 & it looks like I will be heading there soon with my 08 WRB WRX. I was thinking the same. I have never purchased a walkie talkie or shopped for one or anything. memmek2k, what do you have?

We bought the Cobra CXT235. Any model is fine as long as it has the FRS (family radio service) channels.

Where at btw? 11a on the 27th. Meeting at the Galaxy Movie Theater in Chesterfield -- check the original post, it should have all the info.
