Another great run has come and gone!
Thanks all for coming and I hope you all enjoyed the route. Not a single ticket. Only a few people had encounters with possible state donations, but got warnings.
We had a GREAT group this year. YOU people are why I do this!
Karoline and I had a blast even with the Z sitting at home.
I look forward to seeing you all again on the next run! (Fall is right around the corner)

Thanks alot Sean. The bike crew made it home safe, this was the most intense trip I have ever had on my motorcycle.
It was great meeting everyone also!
I wanna give a big thanks to Dimitri and team with the Evo. You guys watched out for us and pretty much kept us alive for the night stage through ME. Seriously, you don't know how much it meant to us for you to do that!

Glad you had fun Sean. I hope you come back next year. It was great to have a few bikes on the run again. Remember... 2 hotels next year so the ride won't be so bad on your guys.

I didn't know what to expect being my first multi day rally but I had a blast. I met alot of cool people and got to run with some good groups. I especially like the twisty windy road leg of the rally right before the go kart check checkpoint. Too bad I didn't get a chance to run with Dimitri and Noah, I would have liked to see how bright it would have been behind them at night.

Seriously, you don't know how much it meant to us for you to do that! No problem... Glad we could be there to help you guys out. I always worry about the bikes, because while we are in cars, we have people to chat with to pass the time, and are sheltered from the elements... You guys are fuckin hardcore... Hope to see you next year!

You're not kidding! HARDCORE all the way. Props to you guys. Seriously.
The run will be a lot easier for you guys next year. You will get to sleep both nights. See if you can get a few more bikes to run with you.

An other great rally! Huge thanks to Sean and Karoline. The crew was great and I'm pretty sure everyone had a time. Props to the bike guys, I ride in the rain, but not when I have to be up for 2 straight days. You guys are hardcore. Phillipe has makes that dodge the hardest truck to catch I've ever seen. Sure hope to see the Canadians next year, they are a blast. Great to see everyone else, new and old. Thanks again Sean for all your hard work.

Awesome rally this year. Mostly back/northern roads are better than sitting in traffic any day. Only time we hit major traffic was on the way to NH from Concord.
No tickets, and everyone showed up at the hotel.
After we left the hotel a bunch of us went north, went up toll road on mt mansfield, and then through smugglers notch twice before heading south.
Adam: Thanks for hosting us crazy tired drivers. Karting was a blast, really hope to get back up there at some point. I'm guessing you were the one in the red shirt organizing the races?

I got in around 8:00... I'll post some pics tomorrow. Several of us took the trip up to Mt. Mansfield, up the toll road (I bet Dmitry wishes he had his EVO then). Ashley took some in car video riding up in my car. It started out paved but wet, went to wet smooth gravel then fog so thick you couldn't see 10 ft in front of the car, which is not good when you're on a 1.5 car width switchback road heading up a mountainside. I just wished everyone could see the view from the Summit. We could barely see the parking lot at the top. We then took a drive through Smuggler's Notch, stopped for lunch at the ski area and traveled back through the notch again for fun. I think everyone had a good time on the short trip. Two more spots to add to the list of possibilities for future NERally runs!

ohhh man the video is going to be fun. just the sound of your car up the mtn, and me trying to take video and not get knocked about (aboot) the place.
will edit the vid from that and put it up. and YES the toll road and smugglers notch need to be on a future run.

Does anyone know Joe with the silver Mustang? On the way back from the hotel his steering rack fell off and had to wait for a tow truck. Just wondering if he made it back ok.

Sooo sad I couldn't make it this year! It sounds like everyone had a great time.... made me even sadder when Karoline got on the phone I was like aaaawww! I called Eric a lot asking 'where are you now? how about now? and now??' lol
Also I'm not quite what to say to the story Eric told me involving him, Dmitry, a leg up and some spray deodorant? Along with a few other elements but I've seen pictures/video. I shook my head a lot....
Next year though I'll be in the big truck come hell or high water! That or my friend wants to join even though she only has a Ford Fusion haha we'll see ;] can't wait to see more pictures!

there weren't any causalities on the rally though, that's an improvement...and I'm not counting the Z since it was looking iffy before the rally started.
the fact that everyone was at the hotel is great, including the Porsche and the TT.

He called me a little while ago. He made it home and is going to bed lol. He didn't mention his steering rack though. How the HELL does that even happen?

Guys the wife and I had a great time doing the run with you guys. Gotta say that i was a bit worried about the weather starting out but then late friday night and all through till the end was perfect weather. it was great to meet so many great people and we will be seeing you again next year too. best parts were the night run through the mountains with the evo and those lights in the lead and heading to the last stop with those crazy bikers.... 140 on 95!!!! course one of them might have hit 180 but still a blast. As far as tickets i almost got nabbed 5 min from my damn house but the cop decided that it must have been the minivan that had set is radar off at 95 and not the stickered lil black two door.
oh and yea got home at 11:43 sunday night btw. lots of driving but it was SO worth it.
