Thanks to everyone who attended Helen Backwards!
Sunday, January 17th, 2010The weather wasn’t great, but the Cherokee Audi Club had a great time driving through the North Georgia Mountains anyway. We started our 85 mile journey at Unicoi State Park in Helen, Georgia. With intermittent rain falling from the sky and gravel, salt and slush on the road, it was a great test of our vehicles. Thanks to quattro and responsible driving, we completed our drive along some of the Southeast’s twistiest (and funnest) roads without incident. Longtime club member, Dirk L. won the members-only raffle for an ECU upgrade package from APR.
We took some pictures along the way: click here to see them all in our gallery!
