Yelagiri sounds good.
ECR is ok, I've never been to pondy he he.

Still Yelagri sounds more like it.
I've not seen where to get off from NH46 (to Yelagri), I was looking for it when I was driving down from Bangalore direction, Missed it I guess.

Guess even that Tada - Pulicat Lake option was good

Sir, Tada, Pulicat is a boring option. We've been there once and were completely dehydrated!!

What say Nitrous, Narayan, ex670C and others who joined me on that mad drive?

Hmm. From what I heard, the dehydration cannot entirely be blamed on the place, but on certain fluids that you imbibed.

Anyway, I am OK with Pondy or Yelagiri. Anyway I guess things will firm up only after track day.

esteem_lover · 27th March 2009, 13:58

Tentatively ok for 11th April. Pondy or Yelagiri. Drive/entertainment options wise, Pondy gets the vote. Climate wise Yelagiri gets the vote.

headers · 27th March 2009, 14:00

if its a 1 day return i'd prefer pondy sir..leave morning, come back by evening!!!!

petrol_head · 27th March 2009, 15:33

ph03n!x · 7th April 2009, 00:41

i guess we need to have a re-poll - i guess fast n furious meet is on for 11th?

supremeBaleno · 7th April 2009, 09:47

We need to ask the mods to change the poll options. But before that, let us throw around some possible dates so that we have a few options that can be used for the new poll.

iceman91 · 7th April 2009, 10:39

oops sorry swrong thread.

Guys lets finalise quickly else the weekend will come and go.

petrol_head · 7th April 2009, 14:37

11th / 12th April seem to be the most feasible dates w.r.t. the poll. Is anything happening or has the plan gone stale?
