Well, if it’s November, then that means it’s again time for the Mid-Atlantic Region’s annual Turkey Trot Cruise in Maryland.  This year, we scheduled the event for the first weekend in November, to try for better weather.  What a chilly surprise we got when the morning temperature had dropped to 23 degrees!  At least the old intercooler temperature would stay cool.

Attendance was a bit off, as it seemed that several things worked against us, but we had six very different cars make it to the start.   They included a 98 V-6 track toy project with a full roll cage, a beautiful Azure Blue 04 Mach 1, 06 Black GT with custom bodywork, and a Redfire 07 GT with the complete Cervini C-series kit.  Attending from the Saleen world, was a 03 SA-20 and a 06 S281 S/C with a significant amount of engine work.

After having breakfast at the Nautilus Diner, we got off to a later start than planned and came upon a bit more traffic than expected.  Even with the cold start, the morning turned into a great fall cruising day and we weren’t the only ones to think that.  About half way through our drive we became tangled up with a motorcycle group running the same route.  It took a few miles to get everyone back into our group because the road was very twisty with few places to put over.

Even with the small group, we all had an enjoyable time.  Now, if you are in the Mid-Atlantic region come next November, keep open the first Saturday for another Turkey Trot
