Savannah Area

Anyone around the Savannah area?

 

New Savannah taco here.

 

I grew up on Wilmington Island. I surely miss home...

 

Hear Savannah has a road course you can race if you meet specs... Y'all know if its true?

 

There's Roebling Road and there used to be a track on Hutchinson Island. I'm not sure if it is still active or not. I dont have any info on either, but google should help out.

 

roebling isn't clear if you can drive your own vehicle or not...

 

Back in the day, before the Hutch track was developed into the golfcourse and condos, we used to race the heck out of that track in a BMW 325i and an old Fiero GT. You'd be surprised what that Fiero could do. It was slow on acceleration, but held it's own through the chicane section!

 

I couldn't find a link to specs

 

Lol. Specs for a Fiero??

 

For the track

 

Originally dubbed "the road to nowhere" by locals, the track on Hutchinson Island was used once IIRC, and then abandoned. This was back in 1998. Its not technically a track anymore, but by looking at the googlemaps view, I think you can get "up to speed" on a few sections of it. Heres the map:

So its not legal to race anymore?

 

I couldn't tell ya man, I live in Cleveland Ohio and haven't been home to Savannah in years. Maybe the city/county might allow SCCA events but you'll have to find out. The "track" now has stop signs and posted speed limits so use caution.

The only real road course in the Savannah area is http://www.roeblingroad.com/

 

stop signs and speed limits means not legal I bet

 

any good places around here to get some wheeling done?

 

Ok ladies and gentlemen, i have lived in sav for the last 6 years or so. I do a quite of bit of traveling throughout the Sav area daily for work. I purchased a '13 sport DCLB. Since my purchase, all i see while driving around Sav are Tacomas. I must average at least 50 tacos a day, yet i cant seem to find anyone that is on here. So with that being said, I want to revive this thread and get a meet and greet together and start to get all these tacos together. I have seen some really nice modded rigs lately and alot more rigs that are stock. This could be very beneficial to everyone, for friendships, modding, wheeling and you get the point. Now come on ya'll, i cant do it by myself! Quit being so damn quiet and shy! My GF is tired of me always talking to her about my truck, I'm sure your significant other is also. What not a better way than for us to to get together and we can galk trucks to eachother. The least we could do is give it a shot. So all in favor of something along these lines say "I".

Subd. I live out between Walterboro and Beaufort, SC. Bout an hour ride to SAV from the house. I typically live too far away to meet up with all the charleston guys, so I figured I'd drop in here as well. I'd be down for a meet if the time is right.

Here's my baby:


Here's my dog:

 

I'm game. My wife is definitely sick of me chewing her ear off about my truck.

 

If you build it they will come. Lets just pick a time and place to get together for a cup of coffee and BS about our trucks. I'm very new to Savannah so the best suggestion I have is the Starbucks on Abercorn on a weekend. Thoughts?
