Devil's Drive 2017 Sat. October 14th

My raincoat is ready!

Thanks to Jason for hosting the meeting point and for everyone that came out! I certainly enjoyed getting back together with you guys and meeting Lars and Peter.

Im sure the weather forecast scared some people away but it wasn’t bad at all. Just some damp roads and a few light sprinkles which Dan didnt hesitate to get a little sideways while a parked cop was in view (did you see them by the onramp?) The low clouds looked awesome though.

Here’s Boosty McBoostleaks

This morning I drove to the store and it didnt feel nearly as strong as the last time i drove it maybe a year ago. It didnt seem to be making any boost and must have some big boost leak. The first WOT attempt resulted in limp mode. Any of the M42 guys would have outrun this thing easily.

Somewhere closer to Devil’s Lake it felt like it was starting to make boost and finally started putting you back in the seat when you got on it, still not all there though. N54 life.

Apparently the camera is lava: Sammi ran and hid behind the civic, Jason didnt make it in time.

Earl wall-tapped all the things

I'm debating whether or not to go. My rain jacket isn't very fashionable. 

perhaps lurker lot. 

my rain jacket is a women's large plastic garbage bag. *shrug*

bright side of things: wet pavement should prevent axle detonations

Ah yes, flashbacks

Hopefully axles didn’t detonate this year

[Iceddragon]

Ah N54 life, I look forward to making memories with it

No detonated axels, or any other mechanical issues that I'm aware of. The turnout wasn't huge, probably because of the weather, but also the length of the drive and location. If you live an hour (or more) away and factor in the drive time to and from the cruise it gets to be a lot of driving, so I can't blame anyone for not showing up. Still, I thought the route was great, and it was good to spend some time hanging out as always.

Agreed, the route was awesome. I would love to run it again when it's dry, maybe something for next summer for us Madison area people/anyone else who wants to make the trip? It was great to meet all of you and finally put some names to faces!

It's always a good time seeing you guys! I had a fun time even in the rain.

[MattY]

I've been waiting to piss through those S curves leaving devil's lake, and it was definitely worth it even with the rain. I'll post my pics soon

[Jdesign]

I had a blast even with the drizzly weather and driving the slowest car. It was great seeing everyone and I cant wait till the next one!

[straight6pwr]

+1 on this being a great time, thanks Brian for setting it up.

ill post my pictures at some point

[m42b32]

Another +1 from me. I had an awesome time. Like others said: huge thanks to Brian for putting this together and to Jason for hosting us at the start!

Looking forward to seeing pics since I didn't take a single one all weekend

[Old School]

Ya...  Boo on the weather this weekend, and the Packer game results.  I'm pretty sure I have an early cold coming on after standing out in this crap all weekend.  Boooo.

Sounds like the Ride went as well as could be expected with the weather.  Did you guys end up with reasonable turnout?  Hope to make whatever the next event is.....

ROFL @ your plate

There were 7 BMWs, 2 Hondas and about 12 people in all. Quite a bit smaller than some of the other fall meets.

The Duke of Earl's Del Sol

Pre-cruise stop at Jason's shop.

This would have been a cool shot if you could see the hills and miles of colorful trees...

Represent!

Still beautiful out there even with the rain.

It cleared up a little on my way home so I found some color.

Love those last two especially! So much yellow

[Jdesign]

Damn those last shots are epic!!!!
