View Full Version : Buffalo Run... bmccord 08-06-2006, 04:16 PM Just curious to see how many people are "looking into" this event. PM me if you wish. Crittias 08-08-2006, 11:43 PM I registered for the event. Still waiting for my official confirmation, however. Oh, and for people who are curious: http://www.kcrally.com Dark Helmet 08-09-2006, 12:12 AM bah, what a joke... the previous week is the CCA-MVC Black Hills Road rally... lots more driving, much better roads and scenery, and a billion times cheaper. and at least 3 members of this forum are going! bmccord 08-09-2006, 11:52 AM And where might I find info on that one? I like the idea of it starting and ending locally. Is the other one similar? Thanks. Dark Helmet 08-09-2006, 12:22 PM I'll post more information after lunch... Mojo325is 08-09-2006, 12:33 PM you're worthless and weak... KarlSpackler 08-09-2006, 12:43 PM you're worthless and weak...

Dark Helmet 08-10-2006, 03:28 PM i already had it twice this week..... :D:D:D Mojo325is 08-10-2006, 03:48 PM monkey boy doesn't like you anymore... taco inn : o-town : '07 Dark Helmet 08-10-2006, 03:54 PM OK, details: October 5-8 we leave Lincoln, NE at about 8 am, 11am brunch in Broken Bow, NE at the infamous Tumbleweed Cafe, 2pm picnic-snack at Carhenge outside Alliance, NE (just to anger sheridan), and then follow on to Keystone, South Dakota aka: Mount Rushmore. Friday morning will be a scenic drive on Iron-Mountain Road and Needles Highway. Friday Noon-ish, lunch and a tour of the Crazy-horse monument Friday afternoon, cave trips or whatever you want to do Friday night: dinner... location TBA Saturday AM: "spouses not recommended" drive on Iron Mountain Road/Needles Highway. if you need a pacemaker, stay home. Saturday all-day, hiking and/or Devil's Tower and/or cave tours. Saturday night: REALLY REALLY GOOD FOOD Saturday LATE night: moonlight drive on needles highway/iron mountain road. Sunday: awards breakfast at Mt. Rushmore and a long drive home, via Badlands National Park Dark Helmet 08-10-2006, 04:00 PM costs: gas for 1100-1400 miles (depending on many factors), Lodging ($150-200 total for three nights), and food ($50 for group meals plus a few lunches on your own). Iron Mountain Road/Needles Highway is pretty much a longer version of the tail of the dragon/Deal's Gap. I'm not kidding. Dark Helmet 08-10-2006, 04:22 PM route looks something like this... powellsd 08-10-2006, 05:45 PM sounds like this might be a good time.....i might have to consider this.. whens the dead line to register for this little trip. Dark Helmet 08-10-2006, 05:59 PM mid-september. new lodging numbers: ~$55-60/night per couple, ~$30-35 for a single let me know what you are thinking... Seeker 08-10-2006, 06:12 PM so is this legal? Sounds like the Cannonball run. bmccord 08-10-2006, 09:41 PM Wow, now that's a nice little drive. Very interested. Mojo325is 08-11-2006, 10:54 AM It's very much like Cannonball Run, with our faithful President Jeff Gomon playing the part of Dom Deluise and Sheridan filling in for Burt Reynolds, sans the 'stache... powellsd 08-11-2006, 11:16 AM OK, details: October 5-8 we leave Lincoln, NE at about 8 am, 11am brunch in Broken Bow, NE at the infamous Tumbleweed Cafe, 2pm picnic-snack at Carhenge outside Alliance, NE (just to anger sheridan), and then follow on to Keystone, South Dakota aka: Mount Rushmore.

Dark Helmet 08-11-2006, 12:01 PM so is this legal? Sounds like the Cannonball run. it is not a race, its a social event, honestly... there is just a lot of driving on some really awesome roads. whether or not you exceed the speed limit is up to you.... last year someone did a tach-verified 132mph... I wonder who that was...:devillook :devillook :devillook :devillook its not a race, not timing equipment is used outside of the various OBCs and GPS units running. Dark Helmet 08-11-2006, 12:03 PM Wow, now that's a nice little drive. Very interested. we'd love to have you... we can reasonably accomodate about 30-35 people at the moment... and we've just barely got half of that. Dark Helmet 08-11-2006, 12:11 PM so for this event sat morning what will it be about....since my car is bone stock except for the audio department will i have any issues.... i think right now i can make this event if, but will need to look at couple of other things first. this is not a race, its just fun... the road we drive that morning is AMAZING... last year the president's wife had an open bowl of cereal in his M5 during the drive... so this year we are doing one scenic drive and one "scenery be damned" drive on that road. one of the participants had a scion last year... I had the E28, a BUNCH of tourings (all E46) E34M5, E36 325i vert, E36 328ia, E60 545ia, E34 525ia (M50), E90 325i, an MB E320, E46 330Xia... I think that's most of them. pretty good group. this year it looks like the infamous E34 535iT/5 will be with us, my new 318i, Jeff and Molly are talking abotu leaving their touring and taking their S52 M Roady, Tarun and julie will likely have the touring, Jeff's M5 again, the same 545i, well... a good bunch of cars. this will be the last trip to SD for a few years, we're going to select a new location next year. bmccord 08-11-2006, 02:47 PM I think I am in. Will have to bring along the "rally bag" containing various things such as a Garman, Valentine, Uniden....ahem...and a few others:stickoutt bmccord 08-11-2006, 03:08 PM WELL CRAP!!!, a good friend of mine's wedding is that Saturday. Looks like I will not be able to go. Anyone going on the Buffalo Run the Following weekend? I will be free then....to spend 300 bucks...:eek: At least its not the 10k for the big one... Dark Helmet 08-11-2006, 04:31 PM your friend sucks... come to SD powellsd 08-14-2006, 10:54 AM just mapped this out and if i go i might drive straight there from Cedar Rapids. its only a 9hr trip compared to 5 to lincoln and then 8 to keystone. What time do you guys hit keystone?? Dark Helmet 08-14-2006, 10:58 AM something like 5pm or so... Molly Kliment and Jeff Jenkins will be rolling across on I-90 from Sioux Falls, so you could hook up with them as well. drop me an email and I'll get you in on the details. Mojo325is 08-14-2006, 11:38 AM your friend sucks... come to SDTruth. I have no friends, it makes life so much easier. Dark Helmet 08-14-2006, 12:10 PM rofflekowski |
