The route has been planned, but printed directions will only be provided at the time of arrival. Remember, meet at 8:30am. Leaving at 9AM.

The run was incredible! A much bigger turnout than anticiptated. The organizers expected about 80 cars and about 150+ showed up. The cars that showed up were amazing - everything from Murc's, Gallardos, 360's, Ruf's, tons of Porsches, worked Vettes, Vipers, etc. On the BMW side there were 2 M6's, an M5, a Z4, and my 545.

The route they planned out was perfect! From Edgewater up to Exit 16 off of the Palisades and all the twisties up there - then up to Bear Mountatin Bridge and to Mahopac. Some of the best driving spots in NY I've seen!

I was towards the head of the pack with a bunch of Lambo's, Porsches, and Z06's rolling through the tight turns. When we all pulled over for a break, people kept commenting on how surprised they were with the handling and speed of my (lowly ) 545. I stayed right on the tail of some of the fastest cars through the turns and kept the pack tight. Not only that, but it was probably one of the more comfortable cars there - which allowed my buddy Dustin from Teckademics to record the whole run for the next Mischief video from the backseat of my car.

All in all, the whole run was outrageous and I wouldn't miss the next one for anything...

I will post pics and video soon...

EXCELLENT! I wish I could have joined you, especially in my Lowly 650i convertible!

I am glad you had tons of fun and showed the Big Money spenders that our line can keep tight just like they can.

Thanks for going and sharing the experience.
