10-01-13 OGTA Meeting pics

Here's the 10-01-13 OGTA Report:

The OGTA Rotor of the Month Award went to this biker guy who showed up on a 1976 1 rotor Suzuki motorcycle. Wow.

Click the pic to hear the 1 rotor purr:



Greg the Elder was the only 12A in town, his maroon FB looking better than ever, with its newly installed RB header and presilencer, freshly rebuilt Nikki, touch up paint under the hood and some really classy 10 mm Magnacors:

Fred brought his drifting FC, hadn't seen him in a year or two. Check out those new wheels he got:

And Brett et al graced the crowd with his nicely done and well worn Tornado Gray FC:

The Drifter and the Tornado, both pretty cars, hard to decide who takes the FC award this month.

Jeremy was fashionably late in his immaculate white FD, I hope the shots come out:

There were a few FE's, although not as many as usual. Holly finally made it to a meeting after a long absence:

Tommy needs to wash his front wheels to get that brake dust off - Tommy, I'm looking forward to the UGA - Georgia Tech game:

After that, not much for actual Wankels, but the Rotary Love was everywhere.

Mike chose to leave his beloved blue FB at home and introduce his new 2013 SkyActiv CX-5, Miss Scarlett:

(The SkyActivs are forming an OGTA subsidiary called the OGSA's. You'll be hearing more about them down the road).

Collin showed up, in a Saab (hey, the dude lives in Vermont, cut him some slack) and he brought his mom, who knows a thing or two about rotaries, and sons who own rotaries.

Also Andy appeared, first time in 3 years. He has a 1 year old kid now, which means his mint SA is parked and he's driving a 4 door used Mazda3, which is actually a pretty decent car.

Also Zach made a rare appearance, not in his white FC, The Survivor, and still in his work dress, but good to see him none-the-less.

This white Detroit Truck belongs to Billy, although so far I haven't been able to get a picture of him anywhere near it:

Rumor has it Billy is building a really nice blue REPU, but some of us are having our doubts.

Here are some group pics:

Makes me wish I lived closer.........

I have to say however that I dont think non rotaries deserve hood shots!!

Mike should not be so proud of a hood full of pistons, even if it is skyreactive........

guess I'm just a rotary die hard....

Robert, those aren't just any old pistons. Those are SKYACTIV pistons!

And only Old Guys with SkyActiv (OGSA's) get to have a hood shoot.

Wish you were there!

Whoops, I see in all the excitement I got the wrong date for the meeting, this was the 10-01-13 meeting.

November is next month.

Good old Crit, always breaking new barriers. He must have the only rotary powered motorcycle in Georgia.
