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?

chibikougan · 03-03-2016, 06:37 PM

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!

Johnny_K · 03-03-2016, 09:46 PM

Yea surprised more ppl aren't talking about it

reddozen · 03-03-2016, 11:00 PM

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

2gslse · 03-03-2016, 11:01 PM

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

chibikougan · 03-03-2016, 11:21 PM

Some of BAW is late also I think we just got cabin info in the last week.

I go for the drinking and debauchery.... and to break my car of course

Are you gonna come for a ride this year DJ?

The OGTA will be there in full force along with a bunch of folks coming up
from GA, and AL of course.

We also have a special guest we are hosting at the OGTA cabin, goes by the
name Kentetsu on the forums. He's a cancer survivor and wants to hit DGRR
this year. He will be coming down from Michigan, so if there are any others coming
from that way hit me up here or contact him directly on 7club (not sure he's on here much).

Sweet! I knew Ken was coming, since we're FB friends.
