Sounds good, I will review prior so I have a semi idea of what I am doing :) Knoxville has some radios to test too, maybe we could try having a lead car/rear car with radios or something. dunno

Re: MitsuStyle Spring 2013 cruise - April 20 & 21 - New Ulm, MN
 

LOL!

I spun because I was trying to match your tempo in a POS DSM. ;)

Re: MitsuStyle Spring 2013 cruise - April 20 & 21 - New Ulm, MN
 

Doesn't seem to be a problem for me ;) Maybe it's a 2g thing?

Re: MitsuStyle Spring 2013 cruise - April 20 & 21 - New Ulm, MN
 

Nope, I was the next car behind Spaz in my 2g.

To be fair, I think we did push it harder back then, before the two accidents.

Re: MitsuStyle Spring 2013 cruise - April 20 & 21 - New Ulm, MN
 

Harder? No. More safely? Yes. None of the incidents occurred until after I moved and stopped leading the cruises. They key is to push hard when you can, and ease up when you shouldn't. These are public roads with traffic, debris, etc., not closed-course race tracks.

Re: MitsuStyle Spring 2013 cruise - April 20 & 21 - New Ulm, MN
 

I agree completely. I personally was pushing harder than I should have in a car that wasn't set up to keep up with Evos. I cooked the brakes trying to close the gaps that were opening in the straights. It was my fuck up and I'm super lucky that I spun where I did and not in a higher speed corner or closer to trees or other motorists.

BTW, I'm planning and leading a cruise for a group this year, so I'll get my piece of humble pie on how that goes. From the sound of it I'll learn a lot in doing so. :)

Re: MitsuStyle Spring 2013 cruise - April 20 & 21 - New Ulm, MN
 

Leading a cruise is definitely more involved that just participating/following in one. You have to watch out for upcoming traffic, wildlife, random debris in the road, all while watching the group in your mirrors to make sure the pack is staying together and everyone is OK.

Re: MitsuStyle Spring 2013 cruise - April 20 & 21 - New Ulm, MN
 

The list keeps growing.

Re: MitsuStyle Spring 2013 cruise - April 20 & 21 - New Ulm, MN
 

Yes it does! I believe this is the largest number of registrants we've ever had, and we still have a little over three weeks to go! Can we get 30 cars?!?!

Re: MitsuStyle Spring 2013 cruise - April 20 & 21 - New Ulm, MN
 

^Pretty much exactly this.

I should have been a trucker.

Re: MitsuStyle Spring 2013 cruise - April 20 & 21 - New Ulm, MN
 

So Dan Mau and Kate wont be able to make the cruise. They double booked and have a wedding that weekend.

I'm trying to get a couple other friends to join. One with a solid NA C5 and a TT Viper.

Re: MitsuStyle Spring 2013 cruise - April 20 & 21 - New Ulm, MN
 

C5 z06 you mean ;)

If that is the one I am thinking about.

Re: MitsuStyle Spring 2013 cruise - April 20 & 21 - New Ulm, MN
 

Yeah, what he said...

Re: MitsuStyle Spring 2013 cruise - April 20 & 21 - New Ulm, MN
 

jeeze im going to be left in the dust lost with all this fast talk. I cannot afford any more tickets or they take my shit again. And i don’t feel like getting rock chips all over my car from the guy in front of me.

Re: MitsuStyle Spring 2013 cruise - April 20 & 21 - New Ulm, MN
 

This

Re: MitsuStyle Spring 2013 cruise - April 20 & 21 - New Ulm, MN
 

Get a clear bra, problem solved. I love mine, and feel its a great investment

Re: MitsuStyle Spring 2013 cruise - April 20 & 21 - New Ulm, MN
 

Rock chips? Oh come on now. Bad reason not to go, you can stay further back from people to avoid this, you don't have to ride ass.

Re: MitsuStyle Spring 2013 cruise - April 20 & 21 - New Ulm, MN
 

I haven't even talked to my neighbor yet but if I'm in I'm sure I can get him to join if he's free.

:)

Get it right - strike one!

Re: MitsuStyle Spring 2013 cruise - April 20 & 21 - New Ulm, MN
 

Re: MitsuStyle Spring 2013 cruise - April 20 & 21 - New Ulm, MN
 

Nah, some people do frum rolls in 4 lane areas, but it's not like we're doing 100 the whole time. Some people will go faster in the twisties, and then wait at a convenient turnout spot later down the road so everyone can regroup.

Re: MitsuStyle Spring 2013 cruise - April 20 & 21 - New Ulm, MN
 

Last cruise I went on the front of my car looked like salt and pepper and picked up 3 rock chips. But it was all worth it.

Re: MitsuStyle Spring 2013 cruise - April 20 & 21 - New Ulm, MN
 

Wish I was going, for real.

Re: MitsuStyle Spring 2013 cruise - April 20 & 21 - New Ulm, MN
 

Just signed up. I will be taking the wife with me but not sure if we are staying the night. I have to find sitters for the kids to have that happen.

Re: MitsuStyle Spring 2013 cruise - April 20 & 21 - New Ulm, MN
 

In nearly a decade of leading cruises I've yet to have a single participant receive a ticket. Don't ride anyone's ass and you'll avoid rock chips. These events are fun, and safe, for all types of drivers. My father has even joined us numerous times.
$10/car online pre-registration is required, unregistered drivers will be asked to leave.
Glad to have you, hope you're able to stay the night!

Roger that - I said if my neighbor's free, not if the cruise is free :)

Re: MitsuStyle Spring 2013 cruise - April 20 & 21 - New Ulm, MN
 

HAHA ok, I misread then :)

Re: MitsuStyle Spring 2013 cruise - April 20 & 21 - New Ulm, MN
 

Simulatedwood and I are bringing walkie talkies for the cruise, feel free to bring your own. Could be cool if we all get on the same channel and such.

Re: MitsuStyle Spring 2013 cruise - April 20 & 21 - New Ulm, MN
 

Looks like this cruise will be pretty bad ass! The weather will determine if I take my car, or ride my bike. If I end up in my car, I'll probably be hanging towards the back since the IS not exactly fast.

Re: MitsuStyle Spring 2013 cruise - April 20 & 21 - New Ulm, MN
 

My tires showed up today, GAME ON!

Re: MitsuStyle Spring 2013 cruise - April 20 & 21 - New Ulm, MN
 

I signed up, I dunno if I'll still be around for sure or not. For $10 I figured I'd just sign up anyway incase I can make it.

If I go, taking the truck since I'd have to haul too much fuel to bring the car.

I can haul extra people/gear if I make it so it's not just free to fly around in someone's trunk/backseat if they're planning on a spirited drive.

Since it'll probably down to the wire for if I know for sure if I can make it or not, I might need floorspace to crash on.

Robert Minoletti is one of Dereks friends. Drives a Nissan 300zx I believe? Seems like a cool enough guy
