Thanks for all the replies. Yes, I get the fact that driving these roads without being in a group may be more fun. However, the social aspect of the activity is also important to me as has been mentioned in previous threads. Thanks again.
I live in flat, boring, straight-road Florida so am thinking of signing up for this "Circle the Smokies" July 24-27 event:

Does anyone have any experience with this organization? Good? Bad? Thank you for any advice.
I’ve been warned to avoid using track setting on the street, especially when the street is in bad shape. Track setting sets suspension at the stiffest setting therefore you risk damaging tires and wheels on rough roads.
I have had no issues with my car at all - 5 bw, 6 spd 2023 6200 miles. When I scanned the car several months ago I got a P30EF- 00 engine cooling fan speed too high. The code would not clear. Then several weeks later it was gone. Scanned car today and it is back. Anyone know about this...
Thanks for the great response! The last time I has a clutch replaced on a car was in the 1990s and the total was $350. I’m pretty nice to clutches and have had cars go over 150k miles with no clutch replacement. Hopefully the BW clutch lasts a long time!
Has anyone had their clutch replaced in a 5 BW? I was at spring mountain this week and one of the instructors said the 5 BW clutch replacement parts alone are $8,000. I find it hard to believe the parts are that expensive. Anyone have any experience with this?
The key word here is always. The word used in the original post I quoted. I run rpms above 3,500 frequently when sporty shifting and to red line occasionally. There is no reason to ALWAYS keep rpms above 3,500 for v8 or v6 for everyday street driving.
FYI, I have the 5BW 6 speed and at 2000 miles I had my local dealer change engine oil, trans oil and rear diff oil. I do not track it BUT keep my cars a long time. The maintenance you do entirely depends on how you use the car and how long you plan to keep it.
I worked with Ashley. I’ll be there Jan 23-24.
