I will soon start working out the details of this year's Blue Ridge Rotary Run.

http://www.blacklance.net/B3R/

Just letting people know now so they can hopefully starting making plans to attend.

UPDATE!!!

Date: Oct 25th - 26th.
Where: start in asheville, end in Smokey Mountain National Park (Smokemont Camp ground) Sat night, drive back to asheville sunday morning

Sat evening: I have reserved a group camp site at Smokemont Campground 4 miles away from the Parkway's end in Cherokee. We can have up to 20 people camp at the group site. If you would like to get your own site, it will be $20 a night. You can call 1-877-444-6777 to make reservations. If you want a hotel, you will have to set that up on your own. When we left, the last of the 3 group sites was still available...

So now, I shall start a list of those of us who will camp in the group site.
1. Tray (lt1_rx7/traynham.houston)
2. Holly (ROTORX7Holly)
3. Gianny (Nexcis)
4. Lacy
5. Greg (Eat-Pez)
6. Greg's guest...
7.
8.
9.
10.

Please PM me if you would like a slot in the group site. I am not asking for any $$ for the group site, but if you would like to donate anything, I won't turn it down. It cost $35/night for it.

Whats the route plan for this drive?

lt1_fd3s
06-05-2008, 11:10 AM
The drive will start on Sat morning in Boone, NC. We will head south on the parkway. I've not yet decided if we will stop in Waynesville/Sylva or go all the way to Cherokee. Then, if all goes well, I plan to drive back north Sunday to Boone.

My thoughts right now are we catch breakfast in Boone on Sat morning and show how to get to the parkway. On Saturday, everyone drives down the parkway at their own pace in what ever groups they want to be in. Stopping and getting pix or hiking or what ever as they want to. Have dinner sat evening in one of the above mentioned towns. Then Sunday morning, get breakfast again and then as a whole pack, we head back north to Boone, making like 3 stops on the way for larger group pix. The whole section of driving is really about a 3 - 4 hours straight drive (~150 mi).

Sorry for the delay in this info. I have been holding off on planning this event further because there is a 10 mi stretch that is closed right now due to a rock slide. The time line for it to be reopen is late Spring '09 :-/ I will chat with the other guy who is helping me plan this and see what his thoughts are about it and let everyone know as soon as we decide. The detour is no less than 30 - 40 mi around and you have to "back track" to see the non-closed sections.

07-29-2008, 10:56 AM
yeah, 2 months away and i'm seriously debating of canceling it this year and picking it back up next year. or i will change it to run from cherokee to asheville...i'm not sure, i've not had time to sit down and actually plan something out :(

i know, i'm bad...i've dropped the ball...

Nexcis
07-29-2008, 11:53 AM

Reese, are you the Reese who had the 20B 10AE and then went LT1?

reese.leblanc
08-25-2008, 09:30 PM
That's me. Heh. A case of my reputation preceding me. LOL. I just sold the LT1 10AE to a guy from Virginia. I'm now driving an 88 vert that will (hopefully) soon be kitted, painted and TII swapped.

Car is most likely going to be Porsche Arctic Silver or Dark Grey from the Saturn Sky.

Dang,

I just realized this is the same F*&King weekend as the Speed 4 Sale event!! I REALLy wanted to go but I already signed up for the track day.

Someone cover this event for RCCDigizine!!

lt1_fd3s
08-30-2008, 08:21 AM
Phil, sorry about that, it was the follow week after I had already reserved the camp site did I realize it was the same weekend as S4S shoot out...and knew that would be conflict for some people. =/ Next year I'll remember to check out when other events are and hopefully have a date set earlier than 2 months before. (We were limited to first weekend and last weekend of Oct...I went with last weekend to give some people, like myself, more time to get our cars bak on the road)

I'll sure Gianny will take plenty of pictures and I'll contribute to any write up of the event for RCCD.

Hey hate to be clueless but what time Sat morning... I still may be able to pull a few strings to get me and my hubby there. BUT I HAVE TO GO THROUGH HIS BOSS. WHICH SUCKS BECAUSE THERE HAS BEEN MANY TIMES WE HAVE HAD TO CANCEL VACATIONS AT THE LAST MINUTE.

09-05-2008, 10:00 AM
I'm looking at breakfast starting at like 8 - 9:30...and getting on the parkway about 10 i think, i would have to check the schedule =] i'll fix this if i need to after i look at it

Can you go ahead and add my friend Bryan Maness to the list? I just told him about it and he's definitely in. Thanks!

Reese

lt1_fd3s
09-09-2008, 05:44 AM
thus far 18 people saying they are coming...hopefully everyone will contribute with pictures and stories so I (or someone) can do a write up for an upcoming RCCD. I know Gianny will most likely take several pictures.

Less than 2 months away, I may just call and see if the other group site is still available for that weekend (i doubt it is...) but that way we could spread out some. I'll keep everyone posted.

87turbo_turtle

I may be up for driving up there... or I may just go up on friday, get a place to stay for the night. Its about a 3 to 3:30 drive... which means to get there at 8 I would have to leave at 4:30am or 5am.

lt1_fd3s
09-15-2008, 06:26 AM
Ok, so it looks like the other group site is no longer available. So anyone else who wants to go will need to reserve their own camp site for $20 per site, up to 6 people at a site...

yep I was hoping a group of us would drive up and then crash in a hotel room. Get up and go to IHOP
Right now David, Ben(yes hyper ben), and I are driving together so far. Ben is thinking about coming straight form KY instead of stopping here but he is not sure yet. He is moving to KY this week.

I'm also talking to Kevin about getting some of the RCCD shirts for this. Sorry, but we're going to have to ask for some $$ for them to help cover shipping and everything. Once we settle on a price, I'll be taking orders.

What happened to the idea of camping out?

lt1_fd3s
10-07-2008, 12:08 PM
Just to make sure everyone is clear on this: We are camping Saturday evening in Cherokee, NC at the Smokemont Camp ground. Anyone looking for over night accommodations in Asheville should be only making them for Friday evening. The night before the event kicks off.

88turboii
10-07-2008, 12:45 PM
yeah this is just for friday night for those with long drives to get to ashville.

Jamin,

Nicole, Bryan and I (and maybe Lori if she can get off work) will take a corner to crash in if that's ok.

As for leaving Columbia around 7m, that should work out great since I'm not sure what time I'm due to get off work.

Tray, I'll most likely want a couple of shirts as well. I'll PM you directly with details.

Can't wait!

So for those of use caravaning up from Columbia, do you think it would be possible to get to Asheville around 9? The Carolina Mazdas group is going to be there before they head off to the Dragon. I was hoping to meet up with them for a bit on Friday night.

10-19-2008, 11:27 AM
when are you getting to columbia... it takes about 2.5 hours from here to ashville

ScRedNic
10-19-2008, 08:40 PM
Hey
We will more than likely caravan up with you guys if its alright.
What time are you still looking at leaving Columbia?
Our biggest issue is when we both get off of work and grab our things.
Also a friend should be meeting us here as well. I'm sure if I look back through post history I could figure out all of this but I am sleepy and headed to bed. Is everyone meeting at your house?

-Nic-

88turboii
10-20-2008, 10:03 AM
if we want to be in asheville by 9pm we need to leave cola by 6:30-7PM at the latest. Nicole, when will you and reese be ready to go? we can meet up somewhere to eat a little earlier if you want, then leave from there?

And are we all still staying at Tray's house?

lt1_fd3s
10-20-2008, 11:00 AM
yes! floor space for anyone who needs it...possibly a bed and futon for those willing to fight for it! or set your tent in the back yard...but no reason to spend $$ for friday night...

i think 3-4 people in the convoy have my cell # so you can call me when you get close (most likely around Hendersonville, NC exit 49 a/b on I-26)

i would like to throw out the idea that we possibly role out to the local cruising strip and see how it is going that night...it has been dead the past 2-3 fridays because of the drop in temps, but maybe it will start to pick back up. if not, we can hit denny's for food or head back to the house and waste time until sleep. or i can show a few of the nice local roads to play on =]

lt1_fd3s
10-20-2008, 11:38 AM
great...accuweather.com is saying asheville can expect rain on saturday =[ starting friday night and clearing up sat evening...WTF!!!

oh well, have to see how it goes and how much of WNC it wants to rain on.

N.RotaryTech
10-20-2008, 01:39 PM
I didn't want to bring the weather factor up, but since you already did. lol.
Hopefully the rain won't happen.
It seems this week is going to have such beautiful week days, that needs to continue through the weekend.

Reese goes in at 4:30am Friday so should be off in more than enough time to be ready. I'll be sure to let Bryan know to be here as well. I'm the only wild card for timing. We'll have to play that by ear. Can't wait!

Does anyone who will be able to make it have an interest in photography? It doesn't look like who was going to do it will be able to make it now. So we need someone who can take nice pictures for us. Also, anyone who's interested in doing a write up for RCCD, please let me know and we'll put something together within the next 2 wks.

Hey guys. Cola here as well with Reese, Brian and myself. I am the wild card not quite sure what time I will get off work, run home, shower and throw on clothes and grab a sleeping bag. Would you all mind letting us meet up with you since David and Julia can't make it? Also Tray can you PM your phone number to me, Reese's cell is dead. Just in case there's a reason to call.

Tray, I'll handle the photography portion of the meet. If Allen shows up from Greenville, he'll do so as well. I'll see what I can do to help with an article as well. I wrote one for the now defunct Rotary Tuner about Deal's Gap a few years ago.

Loking forward to this!

the weekend is over. great time had by all.
official counts: 8 people, 6 cars. 4 FCs, 1 8, and 1 FD.

Reese got around 400 pictures. Hopefully those will get posted up within the week.

Many great ideas for next year's BRRR!!! (some like just calling it that because it better describes Sunday morning)

reese.leblanc
10-26-2008, 07:02 PM
LOL. BRRR it is!! Working on uploading the pics as we speak (type).

Nic and I just got home. Wanted to check in and say we're safe. We both had an incredible time. As we talked about earlier, details for future events can be worked out to improve things.

For example:

1) Trying to together as a group when moving from Point A to Point B. More than once we had people that nearly got left behind due to the lead car (which contained the one guy who knew where we were) taking off and some of the other cars got caught up in traffic, by lights, etc.

2) Notifying attendees what the weather is like up there. While most everyone brought tents, not everyone knew exactly HOW cold it gets.

Anyway, discussions and suggestions will come as we go along. All in all, a great event, and one I will certainly attend next year!

OK guys, here they are. BRRR2 (http://s425.photobucket.com/albums/pp331/reesesrx7)

For the most part, they are as they came out of the camera without editing.

One of my favorites: I threw the bastard off the cliff and told him that next year had better be even better.
