Anyone up for a cruise on Sunday (10/2)? Pittsburgh area

Bored as hell at work, already, and figured I'd make a quick post to see who's interested.

Trying to get some people together to go for a cruise (where to? who knows) around the Pittsburgh area on 10/2. A by week for the Steelers, so what the hell. Might as well do some driving before fall/winter comes.

Brk_05 (Brian) expressed possible interest. My one friend w/ an Integra Type-R wants to come out, too. I'd like to get some video, esp. through some of the tunnels around here. 120 thru the Liberty Tubes would sound great

Any ideas, or anyone interested? I'm not sure how many people w/ or w/o RLs actually live around here.

I would cruise with ya if you were just a little bit closer. I live in Clarksburg, WV which is about 1 hour 45 minutes from Pitt. If you ever come down to the Morgantown area(West Virginia University) let me know and we can meet up. There are some nice cars in Morgantown.

I imagine so. Big college town. Lots of ricers, too, probably

Rt. 40 from WVU to Pittsburgh's (or, Uniontown) an awesome drive in a sporty car. I still haven't had my RL up on it yet. Long as you don't get stuck behind any tractor trailers, that is.

BTW, I also posted over on SS forums. I've seen a few of them running around here, too.

Same here, I would like to get some video & pics of some of our cars. But I am also from Clarksburg.
Bflaker, I might have seen you around before. I know I have seen 1 black & 1 silver SRT-4.

Well you two should get your asses out here :-p

Just kidding. That is a heck of a drive for just a random cruise.

NEXT spring, after the snow clears, I'm def. going to visit Beaver Run a few weekends. That REAL raceway north of the city. Been there to watch my neighbor run a bit w/ his SL600 (older, wedge shaped one. Sucker's quick, but heavy. Sounds faster than it is). Can't wait to get the RL out there.

As of right now, I'll be down for Sunday.

Jon, I saw your RL on campus yesterday. I tried calling but you didn't answer. Looked nice and clean.

See your PMs. Very specific reason for the lack-of-picking-up-of-phone

And we'll keep in touch bout Sunday. Talk to ur roomie. I wanna see an RL vs. SRT-4, and get it on video

Anyone else? Gotta be some people around Pittsburgh, RL or not.

Maybe if Bflaker and myself can get together we can get a video for you. I've been having some bad luck with the cops though. Have to find a good/safe place.

There're a good many SRT-4s running around here, but never on the road same time I am, it seems. Brk_05's roommate has one, so video would be sweet.

Esp. a race through the Liberty Tunnels. I don't know how long they are--I think a mile and a half. I've hit 120 well before the half-way point, and backed off. But it IS a good spot for a race. No cross traffic, no cops. And the sound!

Just need a cameraman (or woman).

Here's some pics for anyone not from around here:





They're fun to go through after dark, when you have a 1.5 mile stretch all to yourself. Hopefully I can get some video eventually.
