If you haven't heard, Hurricane Dorian is headed straight for Grassroots Motorsports' world headquarters in Holly Hill, Florida, And that, unfortunately, means that instead of bringing you loads of amazing stories, we'll be preparing our homes and families for the coming storm. After the damage we received from Hurricane Irma, we aren't taking any chances with this year's preparations. Our editorial office …
PS: We've also canceled our trips to SCCA Solo Nationals for JG and David. The Tacos and Talent welcome party will still go on as planned with guest host Shane Donahue in charge, and senior freelance editors Andy Hollis and Carl Heidemann will be there covering the event for us while Perry Bennett and Rupert Berrington take lovely photos.
In the meantime, we secure in place, stock up on survival gear and wait. Maybe I'll do a live feed from the eye if I'm not outside picking my gazebo off the lawn.

Long as your not picking important bits of your house up off the lawn, you can live with that. Stay safe brother..

jeez missing nationals 2/3 years really sucks, and the one year you go it was that crazy storm in lincoln. I'll never forget your fb live video of your run in that rain.
Stay safe, also preparing over on the west coast in Tampa for this storm
Take care, all of you, and everybody else in the area!
I cross my fingers that everybody's people and things are okay, and to be able to go back to reasonably champing at the bit for news of the MGB GT autocross tangent without bigger concerns...
All of you down there stay safe and keep us posted.
Hang in there and be safe. As a Alabama Gulf Coast resident I know the pain in the butt it is to prepare and how the waiting for the storm can seem like an eternity. However it’s better to prepare well and not need it then to not prepare and have a direct or near direct hit. We have always stayed (not directly on coast and am on high ground) but a category 4 may be a good reason to get out of its way.
Just to add a little levity to the situation while we can...
It’s a really good time to live in Ohio.......just sayin’.

Yeah let's not be ridiculous here.
Batten down the hatches and good luck! Stay safe!
Stay safe there guys!

Stay safe and see you on the other side.
FYI: I talked to Dorian ( my GF) about taking it easy on everyone, she said would put in a good word. No promises.
Let me add this to the reasons not to live in Florida.

I'm in the same county as the GRM headquarters. We're prepared.
I figure this is the price we pay for not having to shovel snow. I'm good with that, plus I can have multiple autocross opportunities every month, year round!
Come on, somebody try showing Hurricane Dorian its portrait to see if it shrivels up and dies. I don't think I'll get a chance to do that myself, although a couple of the tracks on the spaghetti model show it coming through Atlanta. If it does, I'm totally going to try that.
My wife’s family are in the DIRECT path as of 3:20 on 8/30/19. And 2/3 want to leave and the other 1/3 refuses.
2/3 are over 60 with health issues and 1/3 is younger and healthy and wants to get out.
Its GD maddening.

Bwahaha thought the first thing when I first heard the name 
Don't worry about the stories... we got this. Hell, you could probably throw together a magazine just from the E36 M3 we have all shared here. Talk about making it easier for you. We could call it "GRM, the other side to the zany mag we all love".
But seriously... be safe. I'm not afraid to say I'm not mad at anyone that packs up and gets the hell outta dodge when these come through. Y'alls got a bedroom in Indiana for a few nights if you need... but that seems a bit extreme.

there's a reason so many astronauts come from there....
On the bright side, you get to miss the reported concrete dustbowl.
Stay safe guys!
Hang on guys and good luck.
I’ll never bitch about a little snow again.
You'll need to log in to post.
