Dgrr 2016
 

YYYYYYYYYYYEEEEEEEAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!


DGRR 2016 is about 6 months away. Time to get ready!!!!!

I need moar monies!

Wow!!!! I'm not the one to procrastinate....... I'll see what my schedule is like.

I hate you. I was trying not to panic quite yet. :suspect:

I'll like to see what this all about? Who else is traveling up from south Florida?

It's the real deal... a great event!
Just go you won't be disappointed.
I'm leaving from Melbourne, Fl

.

Dates?

April 14 thru 17, 2016. Think Phil posted that on book of faces & the other forum some time ago. At least that's on my calendar and I put in leave already for it :D

Yep, 14-17th of April.

Time to start doing.....everything.......again....

Psssh got time. That is like in the next year. No way will anything slip past April.

Psssh... I got time... What I need are drivers! Maybe... I may just take the zero Brap S4

wuss.

I was trying to organize a huge group from Canada to come down, but no one really wanted to commit to it. That early in April us Canadians could still be stuck in a snow bank! I need to talk to Phil about possibly planning 2017 a little later in April. The Rx-4 needs to come back to DGRR! This time it may be on a trailer though. Then I'll throw the Evinrude on with it. Has there ever been a snowmobile at DGRR?

No... But there has been a gokart with a snowmobile motor on it..

Yep

May El Nino ever be in your favor.

Seriously, I thought you Canucks were supposed to be tough?

:D

I was there the years that the go cart and the hercules bikes were there. Us Canucks are tough, we're just smart enough to know that driving in snow with race compound tires isn't a good idea. We learned the hard way in 2012....

You need a hitch with a tire rack!! Switch to summer tires somewhere around the border of Freedom and 'Merica!

^^lol

That picture was actually taken in Summersville West Virginia on our way home, so that idea is no good either lol.

But, you'll have the tires heading home!! Your point is invalid!

Seriously though, I want to see the RX-4 again.

Orlando Florida is where I'll b driving from. We need to organize a FL. caravan.

We usually have a small group that caravans up together :biggthumpup:

.

Don't worry, it will be back and with company. If I could I'd bring them all. We have them lol.

So since I REALLY want to do this this year. How do I plan it out? Setting up for a place to stay and keep my car?

Are there places to camp out at near by?

When do entry tickets start being sold?

Phil will usually announce when registration begins here soon (before Christmas). Once you have registered, you can book a lodge room or cabin at the venue (Nantahalla Village). There are some people who do camp, but I have no experience. Because I like to be warm when I'm drunk :)

Im so excited!!:cheers2:

car is tuned and aligned. will prob get wheels and tires before deals gap but im ready.

There's 2 of us going from Windsor. (RX8's)
My car is getting complete overhaul. Can't wait for 2016, missed this year.

If you plan to go again next year let me know as I'm going in 2017 come hell or high water. Next winter the Rx-4 will get a 5 speed and a rear end rebuild. Then it should be good to go.

need money and tires.



oh and to rebuild my engine.

SO here's a disappointing bit of info.

As of this morning, there are 110 officially registered for DGRR 2016.

As of 2/9/2016, there were 209 VW's registered for Wookies in the Woods. Same weekend.

Community is slacking. Interesting to look at their rally support. They have a TON of sponsors, including VW America paying for their BBQ.

Sigh. We're like a group of orphans.

3 years ago we had 100 within the first week. It really feels like the enthusiasm has died a lot. I think that some of the drama from a few years ago hurt our numbers the last couple years. And we're a really small community compared to the VW guys I would think.

There is also less hype for it across forums, FB, whatever.

Drama over what? Awards?

I thought we go here to drive?

There is also always the last minute rush... Also lots of people with cars down I would say more going down then coming back.

^That. Plus of course the rotor head camaraderie and the drinking! :rofl:

Yea surprised more ppl aren't talking about it

I've tried posting about it everywhere I can. I'm not much of a hype guy though...

I know here are a few of us dragging on registration but the talk of DGRR here as of now is slow because so many use social media crap now :(
