In a rotary (or formerly rotary) powered car :suspect:



I'm game! I'll bring a tent, or can I just snuggle with you Tray?


Edit: Screw it... I'll pitch a tent regardless :lol: :naughty:

[lt1_fd3s]

Oh, I've got a tent for camping, my command made sure I've got more gear than I'll ever need for that. I wasn't talking about the "camping" kind of tent though, unless you're going to use "camp" in it's British slang... :naughty:

[slvrstreak]

any update?
how many people are attending?

[lt1_fd3s]

Not really any updates, I've been thinking about this lately and trying to finalize the plan and then give the info to everyone. Last year we had 20-30 people I think... and I know more are planning to attend this year. It's not yet hit the size of DGRR...

[TitaniumTT]

I'm going to try to make it this year

[Kentetsu]

I think I may give this a shot if my schedule doesn't fill up...

[slvrstreak]

im in! i need another mountain run :)

[t_g_farrell]

I think I may give this a shot if my schedule doesn't fill up...

Do it Mark, you won't regret it. Your from where its cold, so just make sure you
bring camping gear for freezing nights :D

[t_g_farrell]

So when can we register?

Do you want money, how much and how do we pay?

Only 2 months away! Woot!

[lt1_fd3s]

Oh, honestly, this year I'm thinking I'm open to taking donations... to put towards food... and it can be handed to me in person or paypal...

I've had a good bit of things happen over the past few weeks/months so bear with me, i'll make some more decisions this week and definitely post up about it... sound fair?

sorry, it seems like i just keep saying "i'm gonna do this... i'm gonna do this..."

[ScRedNic]

I PM'ed ya. We're IN!!! Can't wait. Baby-free weekend for mommy!!!! Camping, cars, and fun! Break in the our new Rx7 and her gorgeous paint job. And we get to see ya Tray (much cuddling and possibly an axe?)

[lt1_fd3s]

I know I had a ATL-area OGTA member PM me so I could add him to the list...

[87turbo_turtle]

David and I will be there ;)

[slvrstreak]

im still planning on attending :D:
ill bring some propane if anyone has a heater or grill :dunno:

[Fendamonky]

Oh mah gawd!!!

I almost COMPLETELY forgot about this!!! =(

I just dropped the 7 off last night to have a new exhaust made. I'll be taking it up to NJ on the 20th for my Aquamist HFS-3/Summer install. Hopefully I'll be able to get it back and have the tune attached on the 21st. If so... you can bet your ass I'll be there!

If I can't get the tune done then I'll still be there... I just might be running a lower boost :sifone:

[t_g_farrell]

Its one week away biotches!

Man up (or woman up) and show up for the best ever B3R.

[slvrstreak]

nice way to break in the new car :D

[lt1_fd3s]

levi, which ones the new one?

[JL1RX7]

Anybody from the NOVA area going down?

[lt1_fd3s]

Levi (Fendamonkey) is up around VA somewhere... I know he's planning to come down...

[JL1RX7]

Cool I might see him. Just have to get past the GF and I will be good!

[lt1_fd3s]

Levi told me today he wont be able to make it because his car is scheduled to get tuned... you need to come down and go back with stories of the great fun he missed!

[t_g_farrell]

Cool I might see him. Just have to get past the GF and I will be good!

Until shes a wife, shes not an excuse. Come on out and have fun with us.

2 FDs - Tray, Tray
3 RX-8s - Jack, Holly, Levi

We had an FB from Black Mountain join us on the first part of our trim... and Max's FB that came and hung out...

Bryan's GF = Lori
Zach's Friend = Lance "Lane"

After camp was set up we started the campfire for dinner and gave the door prizes out.
Driving the longest distance was:
Richard & Sheryl from Indianapolis, IN - Walter Mitty program, signed by Jim Downing
Jack from Centerville, VA - HANS Tire Clock
And starting off the HANS hats and RCC Tag frames was Bret for pitching the Biggest Tent.

[reese.leblanc]

We had an amazing time! Thanks to Brett for letting us crash in his tent! Too bad someone forgot to pay the damned heating bill. It was COLD (again LOL).

Glad we made it! Looking forward to getting back into the rotary get togethers again!

Reese

[ZGN]

AHHHHH!!! Glad you guys had a great time. Post up those pics!

[Kentetsu]

Sounds like you guys had a blast. Wish I could've made it. If I'd known about the prize for farthest distance, well, I still couldn't have made it. :)

Well, the gifts were from Holly's work of sweet talking her work into contributing... and it was a "last min" decision to send them home with the folks who drove the furthest... never know, maybe next year we'll hand out "most repeat performance" gifts and "shortest drive"... i dont know, i tend to live in the moment and go with what ever might work...

[JL1RX7]

Tray I need a shipment of that "apple pie"!!!!

[reese.leblanc]

Oh, just an update for those that were standing around helping to troubleshoot my malfunctioning blow off valve:

One of my first thoughts turned out to be right. Higher altitude results in the car drawing less vacuum. The Tial requires a certain amount of vacuum to overcome the spring inside so it can operate properly. As I went further down the mountain, the better it worked. Once I was back at my "normal" altitude, the BOV operates flawlessly.


Damned science...
