yeah, im looking for some good curvy roads down here.. i know theres old airport road, the road beside advanced auto on riedville. (i love jumping that hill at the 4 way in front of the airport entrance) and ive heard some stuff about the "dragon" but does anyone ever get together and do that anymore?

the "htm"ies might still ride to saluda im not really sure. there are plenty of curvy roads and hills there.

I like to go to saluda whenever I have a couple hours to waste. Its easy to get to.

saluda, there's one by my house, there's one off old anderson mill rd, there's another off of that road closer to reidville rd, saluda grade, and of course the dragon, aka deal's gap. i think it's 320 curves in 14 miles. subaru guys meat there every year to drive it...i think i'm gonna go this year.

are you talkin about sundyal rd? i dont live to far from blackstock rd. sundyals crazy at night, anderson mill rd is pretty good too, especially those two little curves right before that big one in front of the farm.

I used to HAUL down that road when I delivered pizza

i think it's nazarath church road...i don't remember the name...but the other one starts by the church...rirght after it...then that road leads right there to the bridge over 26

we have some bad ass roads up here. the HTM guys came up and met with me and some of my DMS crew once. I showed them all the cool roads and setup a whole route for them. The adventure didn't turn out so well though, it was plagued with problems. My car over heated, one of the HTM guys threw a rod and one of my guys (Heath) got a rock stuck between his brake pad and his rotor. Chris O. and Ken where susposed to show but got lost or "something" ;) they wound up sitting at my house for like 2 hours or something before they left.

Not sure why or how, but after that Clint, i think thats his name, got mad at me or something, something about not doing it his way, so needless to say HTM hasn't been back to do anything with DMS.

there are is a nice road down 176 (pine street) out towards union. its a left onto a service road...i'll find out what its called and report back.

Saluda: The cops up there used to be cool about letting us rip up it at night. "Who won tonight?" But, something happened, might have been Jordon going off the side of that embankment on the road that leads to Green River or the fact that tibby did like 80+ through downtown Saluda in the wee hours of the morning. So, they aren't so nice anymore.

My friend and I got questioned one night when we were going to spectate a few guys racing up the grade. But we were out "climbing under the bridges" at 12:30 a.m. :hide:

Parris (sp) mtn Rd is pretty good too, but you have to dodge obstacles to make it interesting (like kids and trashcans) so says Ben.
If you get off on the saluda exit coming from SC, you can go right and stay on that road. It's a little rough, but can be fun too. You'll come out down below SilverCreek Campground around the Mill Spring area.

I got a TERRIBLE ticket by NCHP on the way. Thats why we were so late.

have you guys thought about a meet, like get together and ride all over spartanburg/inman?
and where is illstreet located exactly.. im interested in some parts, and if they do welding, i got a arospeed exhaust i need welded to the catback pipe. i also want to get the apexi vtec controller for the sol, and maybe look into getting a b18 for my prelude.

we do stuff a lot usually. i think we're going to frankys saturday night i guess we could make it a meet or something idk.

Illstreet is located in the rural area of sparkle city.

Illstreet has an office but not a shop. The office is over by spartanburg tech. I wish I had the time to run a shop but with the online sales I simply couldnt do it with school and stuff right now. As far as any parts you need, I can order those all day long :)

is the office like, import connection?

sup ppl, i got a road for ya. Hwy 290 from Publix to woodruff. and there's a road to the left that has a nice jump before it ends at anderson mill road. starts right in front of Popular spring FD. Anywho, 290 is best for racing but not in Duncan or Right near 221. And as for a shop, i have everything except a welding machine pretty much at my house but parents probably wouldnt like a whole bunch of cars at the house all the time :dammit: (BTW I'm taking welding and seem to be pretty good at it but dont get ur hopes up :crazy: )

lol its not even as big as import connection. I try not to do in state sales b/c I want to not have to file sales tax anymore. Its just where I do my programming and orders and such. As for tools, if you need any tools I have everything except my engine hoist. I let Allen borrow that. Cleveland's house is where I do all the big stuff, like welding

i can weld decently..i took welding at DanielMorgan 2 yuears in a row....each class was a year long..so i was in welduing all of 10th and 11th grade..i can stick weld w/ 6010/7018/etc, or I can MIG...all thats easy...its the TIG that gets difficult...but TIG is the prettiest...

well i went up to chimney rock today, those curves kick major ass, i gotta get my suspension a little stiffer so i can feel like im glued to the road. but the del sol did great up there. im sure i'll be making more trips there.

good to see some locals have walked out of the dark side of drag racing and discovered lateral G's :wiggle:

i dont even like drag racing that much, i grew up with my dad driving dirt track at buffalo speedway and cherokee speedway, so im more into off road/ rallye type driving, and i love tight turns and chicanes, its a matter of time before i start autoX, or trying out for scca.

trying out for scca :lol:

there are rallyX's held around here...i'm considering buying some all season tires and attending a couple
