Looks like I might be going to GWNF for the day tomorrow (11-19)
Hopefully the wife won't care or get tickets to the UVA vs. VT game. Yes, I would rather wheel then go to a football game

WHat about POtts Mountain??

I have never wheeled it and know nothing about it. Anyone????


It is about 45minutes from Lexington. That makes it almost a 3hour trip. Not a day trip for me. I will have to wait until spring to run Potts Mountain

sorry, but we are not gonna wheel today, im at my buddies place, and his cruiser is dead, as in wont start, we think its the ignition switch, but we jumped to power lead for the solenoid and still nothing. we are gonna have to spend the day getting him up and running.
as for potts mountain, its ok, the more stock you are the more of a challenge. i definatly recomend at least a rear locker and decent tires(which i believe you have). also it is easiest to run it down hill. there are only a few really tough sections, and the infamous ledge. definatly in the spring id like to go, ive yet to have my 88 up there, and i want to try the ledge.

looks like the wife wants me to do things around the house today. Oh well. I will have time to put my motorcycle exhaust back on.

There is open wheeling in Crozet Dec. 3-5. I have been wanting to go there for awhile. I hear it is mostly blacks with some blue trails--not sure how well my 4r is equipped for it, but we will see.

If not Crozet that weekend, then back to GWNF. Either way, I am planning a trip before X-mas
