For those that attended last year, the event will largely be the same with a few key improvements:

(1) We're retaining the raffle but dropping the auction. People are still welcome to bring parts to buy/sell in swap meet fashion.

(2) Every single car will have a nice, easy-to-read, detailed map of the route to the finish point overlooking the lake.

(3) More of a focus around Chris and his love of RX-7s as well as some basic education around Diabetes.

One other important change is to the method of payment. To register, please paypal $20 per car and $10 per additional passenger (children are free) to: ChrisCarlisiMemorial@yahoo.com. If you'd like a T-Shirt, please include $15 per shirt along with the size you'd like. List your full name, forum name, email address, and short description of your rotary steed. All profits benefit the Juvenile Diabetes Foundation.

For now, here is a link to last year's thread that should answer any questions: http://www.rx7club.com/showthread.ph...hlight=carlisi

Please subscribe to this thread and check periodically as I'll be updating this initial post with new information.

Lastly, we're going to need local volunteers to assist in the preparation out in Riegelsville PA in late July and early August in order to take a load off of Gordon, who has done way too much the last two years on his own. Please post in the thread and PM me if you're interested in helping out

Some pics from last year's event, sorry Luigi if we blow up your Flickr account

Come to the 'T' at the end of the road, make a Left unto 212E/Springtown Road

approx 1.5 miles after town, make a Right onto Bodder road
travel up the road until you see the solid white fence on the left, it's the 3rd house with the large garage

Guys... I know we put up a thread on this last year as well, but very few people who are mainly on this site came. There are several or many on here that are also on the other forum who come. If you haven't been to this event and live in the area, you should really think about coming.

This is a great time with a lot of really good people and died in the wool rotary addicts. Its a chance to see and hear and maybe drive one of the five 20b-powered cars: David Hayes turbo'd car, Andrew Kanho's turbo'd car, Chris Carlisi's (Mandeville built) turbo'd car, and my NA 20b. There will also be a lot of the nicer single turbo 13b powered cars from the tri-state area.

Ray Crowe from Malloy Mazda will be there again and giving away some nice stuff. Dave Barninger from KD Rotary will be there. Gerry from Toronto Mazda will be there. A few other tuners may come, including Enzo, apparently.

So, come on out and have some fun with us this year. Great cars and owners, great food, swimming, and a good cruise in the country. If you are not doing a car event that weekend, and live within a few hundred miles, you should come.

Again, I know there's a lot of cross over between various forums, so many of you may have seen the exterior changes I made to my car, but I thought I would post a few pictures here...

Gordon

I had a guy make an aluminum grille insert and surround to highlight the grille shape...


The rear under valance is polished aluminum as well...

I can attest to the quality of this meet, it really is something special. I went in 2008 and was upset I couldn't make it to last year's event. If you are free the 28th you should definitely come out, worst case you get to see some of the best RX-7s in the country. Hope to see you there!

The link on the original thread is a little boffed up.
