Dgrr 2011

[darthrotary]

So, when do we start discussing this...:driving:
Tis the season to start planning I thinks!

[djmtsu]

It seems Phil usually starts to give out info in October or November.

Sadly, I once again will be rotorless at DGRR. But I plan to bring the Mazda 6 Party Wagon Rotary Support Vehicle.

I can't wait, and am crossing my fingers for Fontana Village. This past DGRR, Nantahalla pissed me off more than a few times.

[Buggy]

That's too bad to hear, I quite enjoyed Nantahalla. Although I'm sure Fontana is probably just as nice. I'm also looking forward to DGRR 2011 as I should actually be able to take the Rx-4 instead of my slow old NA FC. I'll hopefully have my brake/suspension swap done as well so it might stop and handle too!

[Herblenny]

I'm on it :)

Here are the info I could give....

I'm in conversation with NVNC to see if we could work something out so that we'll have a better parking at the location. I had a conversation with them this past April and we are currently talking about possible solutions. If that's a go, then we will be having at at NVNC.

Regarding NVNC, I want to give them credit as the owner went beyond his duties to open up the US129/Dragon... and mainly for us so he wouldn't loose business. That's far beyond what Fontana would of done... Fontana Village would of kept your reservation fee if dragon was closed and they wouldn't of done anything... Only thing I like about Fontana is that its closer to the Dragon.. but besides that, I don't really care to deal with them... only if the event gets too big to be held at NVNC..

Anyhow, I'm also trying to determine a date... as I have several trips I need to make in April. I will keep you updated and let you know...

I'm trying to recall who it was that gave me shit for not having a rotary 2 years ago... ;)

I'll be drooling over your car if you do bring the RX4. I've been wanting a '74 pretty bad, I just can't afford it right now.

I'm game for where ever. I barely made it down the cabin road this year... next year, there's not a chance. My front end scrapes everything.

Hey! :leaving:

I was actually referring to the friggin 1.5 hours we were at dinner because the server apparently forgot we were still there.

I am still waiting on that Dr. Pepper refill dammit.

[TitaniumTT]

I love you Phil, and I'm excited all ready. I may just leave the FC with you and Jenn in NOV so I CAN'T take it apart again this winter ;)

I'm still on that task.... I'll be in touch soon

DGRR is the highlight of my auto-mobile year..... I semi erect right now!

[VR8]

We've got a small group going over to Fontana next weekend. So far they've been quite hospitable for our piss poor turnout. I'll let you know if they have anything new going on. I know they added a pool area a couple of years ago. I didn't get my feet wet last fall, twas too cold, but it might work for the spring.

[Herblenny]

Brian, I'm going to PM you in a second..

VR8, Nothing against you guys, but when I tell them 300+ and trying to work out a schedule, get a conference/banquet room, they are far less willing to work out. But who knows, if NVNC fails, then I don't have much choice....

Who me? or are there more Bryans... lol

[TitaniumTT]

Me, I'm a Brian ;)

[reddozen]

Me, I'm a Brian ;)

I didn't think he was talking to me... lol

[Ptotherice]

I'm excited as hell for this! I just recently got my first rotary and since then I've been waiting for the next DGRR. I'm 90% sure I will be there with a few friends. Glad to hear it's in the works!

[daleclark]

I'll be first in line for tickets :). Hopefully I'll be dragging a lot more of the Pensacola crew out with me, you're a DAMN FOOL if you have an RX-7 and don't go!

Dale

[estevan62274]

^ Well put Dale!

Deals Gap is a MUST attend event Rotorheads :)

Dale

Unless it's broken and your vacation pay goes towards fixing it. Hence my absence last year. Hopefully I'll get the fubar'd strut situation fixed before April. I'm jonesin' for those 318 beautiful turns.

[rx8jake]

Anyone know the date yet? Im really interested in attending the event

[Doc-1]

I am ready......for 2011 Dragon

[Herblenny]

Dates...

I'm currently deciding on the date.. pending some personal/business trip.

I will be shooting for either First part of April (4/8 - 4/10) OR April 22nd - April 24th...

I will let you know once I get things situated... I'm also shooting for registration to start Beginning of Dec... This year, registration will require bit more confirming... Also, much different in term of what this event will represent :)

More info coming....

[2gslse]

Phil, I'm in whenever DGRRXI is. cant wait but don't know what I'll drive yet if all goes well I will have to decide between my FD,FB, or RX-8

[TitaniumTT]

Show off ;)

[2gslse]

I don't want to hear any excuses from you this year we were like motel 6 and left a light on for ya. :)

[TitaniumTT]

I know I know I still feel like a douche about that. you guys do rock. I'm thinking about storing the FC with someone down closer to the dragon during my rd trip so I can't take it apart again

[rx8jake]

Thanks man. Im new to the rx series. I used to be real big into off roading and i ended up sinking all my money into it and had to get out of it and into something else lol. So.. i got a rx8 lol

[2gslse]

I know I know I still feel like a douche about that. you guys do rock. I'm thinking about storing the FC with someone down closer to the dragon during my rd trip so I can't take it apart again

You need to just enjoy the FC as it is now you still have the vert and your FD project to satisfy the urge to create & fabricate.

[Ptotherice]

^ Nice rhyme. d:

[WE3RX7]

B - you can leave the FC at my place. I'll only charge you your motor :)

I'm ready for the event to be here... probably bring the rx8 again unless something happens between now and then in which case it'll be the bone stock FC.

We could just have all of 2gslse's cars down... we can each take one :)

[2gslse]

It would be cool to see the fleet all in motion at the same time. you will have the same issue next year,hell I think these cars are more of an addiction than anything else think about how many of us have 2 or more in various states (running,racing,parts,etc...) I have personally had 2 or more since '97.

[TitaniumTT]

has anyone ever thought there might be something chemically addicting to rotary exhaust? Cuz yeah, I got 3 now....

[VR8]

Addicted here too ... 3 of them. :(

[Buggy]

Ha I think I have you all beat. 3 FC's, Rx-4, and the R100. Do I win?

[2gslse]

Ha I think I have you all beat. 3 FC's, Rx-4, and the R100. Do I win?

not yet. currently I have 1 fd,1 rx-8 ,1 cosmo 2 fb's and 3 parts fb's so that 8 total but I kow there are some here that have way more than me.

[Buggy]

DAMN! I need to buy more rotaries....:lol:

[Redshft]

Can I get extra credit for the number of FCs I could buy for the amount of money I have tied up in single race FC?
(And an RX-8, race FC and parts FC here...) these things are addictive.

[TitaniumTT]

If that's the case then I should get extra points for working on my FC for 46 hours straight

[FC3S Murray]

why oh why do i have to be located on the other end of this damn country from you guys!

Think next year you guys would let a bastardized rx-vette roll with ya?(2012 that is since may is my tune date for the LS1).

[TitaniumTT]

No. You had your chance and you abondoned it

[TitaniumTT]

Ok, maybe... but you have to bring Kyle and buy me a dozen Grey Goose drivers... but I'm still gonna kick your ass when I see you :grouphug:

[FC3S Murray]

Ok, maybe... but you have to bring Kyle and buy me a dozen Grey Goose drivers... but I'm still gonna kick your ass when I see you :grouphug:

lol.....well I tell you what, since I have some towing capability now and i might just go redneck and put a hitch on my FC just to piss you off.....I will haul a trailor load of Grey Goose AND Redbull for your angry ass.


Kyle can come I suppose BUT since he works for Budwieser he can bring some goodies too.

and if that doesnt make you smile Brian, I will sit your ass in my car and my Torque curve will.:driving:

[SPiN Racing]

Gonna be there this year. Come hell of high water. Stillll Pissed I didnt get there last year.

My wife will drive her white RX8 there
I will trailer the 1st Gen racecar most likely.
Small chance that my oldest son might drive the 91 up with us... :uhh:

Oh and I DO have a Trailer Hitch for a FC believe it or not... its in the attic, NOT on one of the cars. May have to put it in the for sale section.

FCZach has a tow ball on his N/A FC and towed 2 motorcycles to DGRR last year with no problems. Don't underestimate the FC... :)

[Duffman692002]

has anyone ever thought there might be something chemically addicting to rotary exhaust? Cuz yeah, I got 3 now....

Between that and the sound of an NA screaming at 8500rpm throfuh a pretty much unmuffled exhaust issei there some kind of addiction there. Can't wait for 2011, I love going to dgrr even more so than SS.

More info coming....

fingers are crossed for 8th - 10th, if so some SinCityRotary folks may make it out with enough time to attend to the details of our event in May and then of course particapate SS

[Herblenny]

It will be in April... And I have to say, if you guys are driving from Vegas, WOAW!

[reddozen]

well, as soon as registration is open, you'll have my money.

[Herblenny]

LOL! I want to open registration soon.. but few things are still being held up by few others... I'm hoping to open by Dec.

[13x]

It will be in April... And I have to say, if you guys are driving from Vegas, WOAW!

If there any other way?? :willy_nilly:

Thats why the dates will kind of dictate if it is feasable as WHiV organizers may be among those trekking across the states to drive the dragon

[reddozen]

LOL! I want to open registration soon.. but few things are still being held up by few others... I'm hoping to open by Dec.

Yea I can't wait... it's going to be fun. I'm hoping to stay in a cabin this year. We'll see what the GF says...

I'm just happy I'll have the new motor in and tuned by then. There's a couple more things I'm hoping to have done, but they're more cosmetic than anything.

[Duffman692002]

You guys driving through eh? Definitely let me know when and I'll join up with the convoy. :D

[13x]

You guys driving through eh? Definitely let me know when and I'll join up with the convoy. :D

:) was already thinking of you, just waiting on the dates to be set then we can go from there all I know is Lonecorp better drag his arse down from NY lol

[Buggy]

Like the rest of you we have a Canadian convoy waiting for a date as well.

[Herblenny]

I could give you a tentative date...

Its either going to be April 8th - 10th, 2011 or April 22nd - 24th, 2011.

There is a slight.. I mean slight chance it might be 15th-17th, 2011... But its slight.

Hope this helps a little..

[13x]

At the risk of sounding like a whiner lol the earlier option would fit better with our schedules better to be back in time to button last minute details for WHiV

[Herblenny]

well, I'm shooting for the 8-10th... But only issue is that that time is questionable as we might possibly see snow up there.

[13x]

ohhhh the white stuff, crap not something we see much out here, back in NY yeah had our share had a storm in late April so anyone guess is best lol

[IH8DSM]

Already can't wait love dgrr

[Herblenny]

Ok,

Here are some info...

http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e79/herblenny/weatherapril2010.jpg

As you could see, this year around the time i'm thinking of, it never froze. But this is the weather at Robinsville... higher altitude might be little different.

But overall, we should be looking at highs in the 70s and low in the 40s F.

Should be a great weather for rotaries :)

PS.. also month of April is statistically least amounts of rain. But that being said, only 2 DGRR rained but only on friday and part saturday. Usually we have a beautiful weather at least one day out of 3.

[Redshft]

I'm actually pulling for the later date. (As much as I matter.)
Last year when we were down, we actually had a late season snow fall that almost prevented us from getting home. (It melted the day before we crossed back into Canada.)
Early April would be a very real possibility of getting snowed in and not making it down.

[estevan62274]

+1 for a later date too....

April 22nd - 24th, 2011 sounds good to me :)

[reddozen]

I'll start the google map again once registration opens too.

[Redshft]

... besides, who doesn't want a couple of extra weeks to get their cars done?

[13x]

good point

except maybe those driving back to the west coast where snow wouldn't be an issue but heat may be lol

[Ian]

Subscribed. Canuk Crew awaiting.....

[Proxy One]

Id be down for the later date too, more time to prep my car. Should have some new goodies on it by then.

[Drama]

later date +1 My car is completely apart.

[TitaniumTT]

RX7's...... spending more time on jackstands than on the RD since 1978!

[Duffman692002]

RX7's...... spending more time on jackstands than on the RD since 1993!
Fixed.

[13x]

I don't know my 79 is always running, hence why I was going to try a cross country trip to drive the dragon

be good to hit the road with duff and then my son from NY that should be attending, he and I have never been at the same place at the same time with our first gens

wooot

[FcRx8MEL]

Hey! :leaving:

I am still waiting on that Dr. Pepper refill dammit.

That was the worst.... I'm still trying to figure out why we all didn't just leave after waiting for checks for an hour. Other than that it's not too bad minus the distance from the dragon and small show parking lot

[My5ABaby]

Some of us bailed right away, before even trying to order. I think that night was Bojangles... MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM Bojangles.:willy_nilly:

[Buggy]

Oh God, not Bojangles! Ask Joe (Classicauto) how his chicken was.....:lol:

[2gslse]

Phil, I don't care when it is. I can't wait I would like to ask if we can get the grey shirts again instead of white ( I'll pay extra if its an option)

[Herblenny]

I'm still waiting..

Also, who volunteered last year?

[Viperx7]

I'm still waiting..

Also, who volunteered last year?

I did.

[Trout2]

Also, who volunteered last year?

I did. The skinny Gorilla did too. We can help this time too.

Jack

[classicauto]

Oh God, not Bojangles! Ask Joe (Classicauto) how his chicken was.....:lol:

I tripped out so damn hard.

That chicken contains LSD.
