Looks like DGRR 2009 is ON!!!
 

I just got an answer from Nantahala Village and they are OK of us having it next year!!

So, Now lets decide on the date....

April 11th - 12th :party:

:D +1 on 11-12th.

In all honesty, it doesn't matter too much to me. But slightly later in the year (like end of Apr.) would lessen the chances of the Canucks having to leave when there's snow out lol

Although this year we narrowly escaped it hehe.

But whenever - sign me up!!

... Same as DGRR 2008 ... worked GREAT , the weather was spectacular , AFTER Spring Break , BEFORE Mullet Toss , just a good time to be up there ;)

By this you mean that they are willing to take care of our demands? e.g. Pave the road up the mountains?

And as far as when, well you know I'm down for anytime!

Well, They are talking about that.. paving the road and such..
Also, they told me that they will have something by the tennis court as venue stage (bands and such). I guess we just have to wait and see:)

Also, I've found out that they have another property. I'm hoping to go check it out.. either for BOTD (if I don't goto Seven Stock) and let you all know.

What I really liked about Nantahala is the fact that we had the whole place to ourselves.. and hope those who couldn't stay there will book it earlier:)

+1!!!! ROCK OUT! Soo.. Next year here yet?

later in the year (like end of Apr.) would lessen the chances of the Canucks having to leave when there's snow out lol


But whenever - sign me up!![/QUOTE]

Im with classic auto on this.:icon_tup: However it was nice to get out of the ice in the am and be into 75 degrees by 3pm

Sounds great Phil!

Hmmmm.... so are you planning a "long distance award" for those of us who may come from the SW US??

I did that one year... I think I gave away $100 worth of gas.. I might do that again, pending sponsorship and number of people who sign up:)

WHERE is said "other property" ??

I vote from the 9th to the 12th, this year's event was too short, there were too many things to do and not enough time to do them all. Also we should have a couple of organized runs through the dragon and the skyway.

Great, when do we sign up! :D

I'm in, and this time I'm bringing a babysitter (read grandma) ;)

Gonna stay a WHOLE week next year ;)

Is she single and does she like Mazda 6's...? :rofl:

Sign me up!

Ok guys...

well, I think I'm just going to pick our usual 2nd week of April, 9th - 12th.. 2009!

I'm going to contact Nantahala Village and we are going to block off 9th - 13th for DGRR 2009.

I'll officially announce it next week and open the registration.. I'll do it the same style of registration and such.

PHIL

Count me in for 1st.... :p

Oh no yourt out My5ABaby! I'm making it a tradition to be the first to sign up!

:squint: It's on like Donkey Kong! :lol:

We already spoke to NV to reserve the same Cabin ;) ... nice folks :) ... we're gonna have a HUGE after party next year , so please attend :party: ... you'll be glad you did , and not to take anything away from Cabin 1016 , everyone is welcome ;)

Bring it on! My Kungfu is stronger then your Kungfu! :94:
:rofl:

Donkey punch > kungfizzle.

...your donkey punch is strong, but my cheat codes are stronger!
B A R R A L - I start with 50 lives!

What? I haven't 100% committed yet?? You are CRAZY!!

No reservation yet , we just inquired about it , and they said "No problem" is all ... I wouldn't make the reservation until I knew YOU were 100% on Nantahala Village ;)

And you think that will dissuade this crowd?

are we there yet?????????????

It should be the week of 3/17-3/21. In there somewhere.

SOooooo , is this a green light on NV ??

The weekend of 4/11 > all.

Same weekend as this year works for me, since I probably won't have as many mods to finish in two short weeks. I didn't have a problem climbing the mountain, but then again, I don't have a lip hanging two inches above the ground.

I can't go that weekend. So no, it doesn't > shit.

end of Apr. would be best

If we "potentially" fly in, is there any place within a 100 mile radius that might do RX-8 rentals?

Phil, pm me the price of what they are charging you guys for the whole resort and how many people it needs to sleep. Remember me telling you about the company I used to work for. The location would be much more convenient for afternoon entertainment and much more entertaining to those whose wives would not like to be stuck 2 hrs out in the middle of no where.

The location would be right outside of pigeon forge and only about a 30-35 min drive to the far end of the dragon(lake area). The cabins would blow the ones we stayed in out of the water and all the roads would be easily accessible for the rx7s. Im sure I can get a good deal if we block off a bunch of the cabins but I am unsure of the current price you have worked with the place you used this year.

Being closer to pigeon forge we could go into town for dinner, go cart racing(would be fun to have a competetion and with a group this large we could get huge discounts at the nascar park) and the fact that the place is only about 15 mins off of I-40. Also the resort is building a cable sytem that you hang from above the tree tops that reaches about 55-60 mph as you are flying over the mountains on a pulley system. Just an idea and figured this way you could probably create even more growth for the event by encouraging people to bring their wives or families. www.sterlingspringsresort.com is the name of the site and the Full Day Spa will be completed by the time the event rolls around next year.

Nice, Let me know when you guys are planning a test run :)
