Yes that is a 2005 Mazdaspeed Miata with factory turbo. Boost only 8.5 to 9. Thats me auto crossing at Bristol Motor speedway. Check out the fire coming out of the front brakes!

Raced yesterday in Knoxville in my other car. 1999 Miata. Won both events in my class.

X2 very satisfied with the trail armor set. Got about 1000 miles on them in the rocks holding up great. And they do wash out pretty good with the holes in them

Just ordered the Trail Armor skids and arms for the same price of FUTV's. Just call them up and they will price match. Thanks every for your 2 cents. It helped.

That's pretty cool. Bristol is the only time I've been that way. My wife and I have been to two cup races there over the years

Coolest track on the planet. My wife and had a police "escort " not to far past Knoxville all the way in averaging very high speeds. Seems like forever ago now but lots of great memories! Kurt Bush won that year and was booed so much he left early. Anyone that loves racing must see that place!

Went to a Nascar race there a few year back. Thunder Vally is a perfect name for that place

Very cool place. They are building football field in the center right now. UT and VTech play Sept 10 at the speedway. They est 300,000 people will be at this football game.

Holy crap that would generate some noise from even a game!!!

Update on the ride. Talked to one of the Windrock Park trail bosses this morning and he said you can make it from RB to Windrock on under 3 hours if you just do gravel. Longer if you use trails. You also can make it to caryville from the trail system and you can drop in to Rocky Top.

I'm going to do the ride this Sunday if everything aligns with Momma's stars!

He did say to avoid trail 57 "Rat Trap" as he quoted 20+ miles of twist winding trail.

I knew I liked you for some reason lol. The CZ 75's are just awesome guns. I'm wanting a CZ P07 next. The Urban Grey P07, maybe.

Interesting story on ATV access to TN Hwy 25W

ATVs could be allowed on Highway 25W in Rocky Top starting in July

News > Tennessee law to expand ATV riding area

Rocky Top to expand ATV travel

Got word today that Rocky Top charges $5 / yr to drive on the roads. You can buy at city hall or PD office.

Rode trails G50 G52 T50 T52 T53 (T57 Rat Trap) T60 T72 G55 G54 today on the Windrock Trails

Made it to Rocky Top and back We might want to avoid T57. T60 Difficult but didn't winch. T72 is a down only trail- someone will be on their top.

Going tomorrow to Caryville Flats. T61 62 66

Wife and I rode from our house by Pioneer that is north and west of royal blue to Windrock ruins POI in only 2 hours it was 27.5 miles. We took a different route back stopped at Caryville exit 134 and then at the truck stops at Exit 141 that connects the Sundquist Unit trails East of the interstate to the Royal Blue trails West of the interstate. We left the house at noon just messing around and we're 1 mile inside of Windrock in 2 hours. Great trails but not the Bill & Ted's epic adventure we may have anticipated.

I now believe we can easily leave Royal Blue or my house for that matter be in Windrock for lunch and take a different way back to Royal Blue being at the El Ray's Mexican restaurant by supper time that is at the base of Royal Blue trails 12 at Exit 141. Another 30 minutes and you are back in Ride Royal Blue Resort campground.


The ruins


The windmills way off


My GPS wasn't clear what trail is the ruins on just inside the Windrock boundry?

There is a ton of trails going Northwest from Windrock to Brimstone then back East to my house. If everyone still wants a 2 full day trail ride we could always explore out that way then work ouright way back to Royal Blue, there is a few points of interest out there, the eternal flame, then north of my house the hole in the earth, just a big strip pit like in Evarts KY. Nothing special, except the partiers on weekends, them drunk girls get honery up there.
