First US RS6 Meet - Sunday, October 5th – NE Fall Foliage
EVERYONE is Welcome!
We've been talking to for the last 6 months (or more). Here’s our chance to meet, socialize and share our enthusiasm for the new Audi RS6 and all performance cars. As far as I know, this is the first RS6 meet in the US.
This drive through Western New England is spectacular. We’ll pass through the Berkshires and the Green Mountains. If we’re lucky it will be peak foliage season. I took the drive last Sunday. It's a beautiful route and the trees were just starting to turn.
Everyone is welcome, whether you're an RS6, VAG or any performance car owner/enthusiast. I hope we'll have some M3s & M5s, perhaps some S55 and E55 AMGs, Porsches and a Viper or two. I also think it would be great to have some S4s - hopefully the 2003s will have arrived!
Meet at about 10:30 AM just off of exit 2 on I-90, the Mass Pike (Lee/Pitttsfield/Rt. 20 exit), leave about 11:30 or so. This will give us some initial time to socialize and those coming from farther away some leeway.
We’ll drive up Route 7 through Western MA and VT to Stratton Mt. It's 110 miles, so I'm estimating a 2-2 1/2 hour drive. We should be at Stratton about 2 or 2:30 PM, so if anyone wants to just meet us there, that's fine.
We can "caravan" to VT - caravan used loosely since it will be hard to all stay together, especially going through Pittsfield and Bennington, and everyone can drive at their own pace.
Lunch at Mulligans at Stratton Village, Stratton Mountain, VT. The gondola is open, there's a skate park (unsupervised) for kids, there's a full service day spa and some boutique jewelry and sports shops in Stratton "Village".
I figure we'll all go our separate ways late afternoon/early evening. Stratton is only 30 miles from Brattleboro, VT and I-91, so it should be easy for the Boston/Eastern Mass/Eastern New England crew to get home (about 2 ¾ hours to Boston). I'll have some suggested routes to get back to NY/NJ.
Stratton is 17 miles West of Manchester, VT - outlet heaven (hell to Vermonters). So, if you need to appease a spouse, the fall foliage, spa, boutique shops and outlets should do it. There are also outlets right off of exit 2 in Lee, MA.
Equinox Mountain, the tallest in South Western VT, is about 10 miles South of Manchester. You can drive to the top, although I don't think I would be willing to subject my RS6 breaks to the abuse coming down (I don't think they were designed for that kind of continuous breaking). I drove it yesterday in my S4 and it was a pretty steep descent.
I’m looking forward to meeting everyone!!!
