 Pre Staging at Kate's Mountain: 9:00 a.m. - 10 a.m.

Participants can arrive as early as 9:00 a.m., and take in the scenery of Kate's Mountain, while meeting some of the other drivers and learning about their cars.  

Promptly at 10 a.m., the drive will begin, taking participants on a tour through parts of The Greenbrier Sporting Club and the historic Old White golf course, before arriving at The Summit. 
Kate's Mountain, just across the street from The Greenbrier main gate, was named for Catherine "Kate" Carpenter, who in September 1756, took refuge with her child on the mountain's peak during an Indian attack in which her husband Nicholas Carpenter was killed near Fort Dinwiddie (also known as Byrd's Fort and Warwick's Fort). 

Kate's Mountain is the highest of the peaks in Greenbrier State Forest at 3,280 feet. Kate's Mountain was the inspiration for the 19th Century romantic poem The Mystic Circle of Kate's Mountain, first published in fragmentary form in 1860 and published in its entirety in 1895. 

Brunch at The Summit: 10:30 a.m. - 11:45 a.m.

The 7,500 square foot, Adirondack-inspired, oak and timber framed gathering place offers a picture-perfect respite from the world below. Perched majestically atop the 3,300-foot peak of Greenbrier Mountain, The Summit blends seamlessly with the surrounding forest, offering resident members unique leisure experiences to complement the sporting life. The Summit is a place where resort casual at The Greenbrier Sporting Club finds its definition. It evokes its own personality.
The Summit’s main attraction is its restaurant. A massive, double-sided fireplace of locally-quarried stone is the centerpiece of this rustic, elegant space, with dining on one side and a lounge and full-service bar on the other. An antique cabin wing functions as a private dining room. The outdoor terrace dining is very popular in the summer months. Diners enjoy fantastic views of the valley below, and the outdoor fireplace and nearby fire pit adds to the pastoral ambiance. This exclusive lunch will give participants an opportunity to mix and mingle while enjoying award-winning culinary offerings. 

The Drive

At 12 p.m., a spirited drive will take a participants through the back roads of West Virginia and Virginia, eventually concluding in Roanoke, Virginia, where drivers can tour the Virginia Museum of Transportation. The drive will feature incredible views, elevation changes and historic locations as participants explore some of the most exciting driving roads the region has to offer. 

After the ride through the mountains, drivers will return home on a different winding road, testing the power and precision of their automobiles while enjoying the company of other auto enthusiasts.
