Just wondering, whats up with MM's endless fixation on cruising 33W? There are other nice drives around here with better scenery...
I CALL SHOTGUN ON THIS ONE

More twisties than most roads around. We have done a ton of others that have prettier scenery but arent as fun to time attackzorzzzz.

It's also sort of tradition to cruise 33W and make the stop at the top and other side to bullshit.

Perfect cruise weather next weekend except for 50% chance of rain...
Re: February 22nd MM Cruise - TorinoCobra070 - 02-15-2014
Rain + 33w = a bit of an issue for me lol. Still possibly in depending what it ends up being.

Low 50s 20% chance of rain not too shabby a little warmer would be perfect but everything can't always go your way :thumbup:
Re: February 22nd MM Cruise - rherold9 - 02-19-2014
Weather outlook is looking better.
Just a warning don't get too stupid on the cruise. Loose gravel and on top of the snow melting creates wet and loose road conditions. Don't want anything happening. But, of course I still want to have some fun and will push it but within reason of course per say road conditions
Re: February 22nd MM Cruise - JPolen01 - 02-19-2014
There is going to be a ton of gravel on the mountain. There is always some but after all this snow it's going to be a whole lot worse.
Re: February 22nd MM Cruise - SlimKlim - 02-19-2014
Someone go get some broom heads from home depot and strap them to their front bumper and scrub that shit offa there.
Re: February 22nd MM Cruise - Senor_Taylor - 02-20-2014
We'll just run my truck up it and have some people sit on the tailgate with some brooms...
Re: February 22nd MM Cruise - SlimKlim - 02-20-2014
Sounds foolproof.
The weather this weekend is looking good, car seems happy, girlfriend is out of town. Looks like I'm in!
Re: February 22nd MM Cruise - TorinoCobra070 - 02-20-2014
Did not consider mass amounts of gravel... No me gusta
Re: February 22nd MM Cruise - rherold9 - 02-21-2014
Don't let the gravel stop you from coming to have fun just don't be right on someone's ass. You can still have fun by keeping your distance

This. We need to make sure we don't follow too close as it is (gather 'round children, and I'll tell you a story of how Joey's car earned a modified exhaust). You can go 7/10ths (or hell, 5/10ths) and still have a blast.
Re: February 22nd MM Cruise - SlimKlim - 02-21-2014
I dunno how y'all are planning on hitting this mountain, but if flying off the side due to gravel is a serious concern you're gonna be going waaay faster than me.
Re: February 22nd MM Cruise - rherold9 - 02-21-2014
I've pushed my car 9/10-8/10s before but I'm only going to be going 5/10-6/10 because of the roads. But we shall see. I has GoPro so I'd like to be in zee middle

after all, it's a cruise, not a pikes peak challenge, right?

You've never pushed your car 9/10ths before.

He's autocrossed it, which is more than you can say.
Everyone's definition of 9/10s is a little different, but you don't have to be a dickwad about it.
