Murphy , NC Ride November 11th and 12th Not Just a Guy Trip

I will mention everyone in future post here but our leader today needs to be commended for his great roads he picked and his excellent driving skills....
All I can say is WOW! I was so tired from chasing @Dogs all day that after dinner I went to hotel room and laid across the bed and fell asleep. That was at 6pm. I just woke up at 10:00pm. I had to make a post to say hi to everyone....
Most of the Slingshots up here have nice aftermarket coilover shocks, heavy duty sway bars and enough turbo charged horsepower to pull a loaded train uphill and we ALL were being shown today that what really matters is knowing how to DRIVE. Apparently @Dogs was taught by Dale Earnhardt.....
@Dogs is a real driver for sure...
Their was one stretch of super twisty fresh blacktop road that I chased him thru.... I can say that I was able to keep him in sight thru the whole section... But my tires never stopped screaming. I honestly think they were screaming in the straight sections! When we both arrived at the top of the hill that we had just climbed and started off the other side I (shit-u-not) he was looking at me in his drivers side mirror and was smoking one of those cherry cigar cigarettes and grinning from ear to ear......
On the flip side,,,,,I was so wound up and stressed that I couldn't let go of my death grip on the steering wheel long enough to turn the radio down.....
Tomorrow we will get to play on the other side of the mountains where I am more familiar with the terain... I think the key to staying in front is to be the first one out and then calling them on the phone after I get about a 2 mile head start.....
The pictures are great @ShutterBug .... keep them coming.....

You, sir, are not in need of any additional training. I shudder to think how that machine of yours would be screaming if you were any more proficient. It's been my privilege to watch and learn from you.

Ha! Anyone that can make @rabtech go from "I'll let you drive my Sling so you can check out the turbo" to "I'll let you RIDE in my Sling so you can check out my turbo" based solely on your ability to kick his butt on the twisties should probably ly have his license revoked!

^^^ WINNER!!!

That is a really cool picture.

I'm happy @KayTwo & @sideseatdriver both share in the joy of driving a Slingshot...
-

You wouldn't believe what I have found out about KayTwo. She is a gearhead... She is the one doing all the wrenching on the Slingshot. She does all the installs and she even picks all the stuff out AND purchases it.....
That would be @sideseatdriver, but yes, she has done more than half of the wrenching. I'm a lucky guy.

That is way cool. Thank you so much. If I could talk you into sending me the original some day, that would be awesome.
