I WILL be there tonight between 6:30 and 7:00PM depending on traffic up Peachtree Industrial. I hope everyone else will make it. I have the coleslaw, 6 beers and reese's cup brownies. I did make part of the pan without reese's cup, just in case someone doesn't like them.
See everyone tonight.

Another great meet, thanks to Crit and Deena for having us over and for the great food.
The 12A count:
5 FBs = 5 12As (Crit, Tim, Greg the Elder, Greg the Younger, Ray)
1 RX2 = 1.5 12As (Crit)
1 1965 Ranchero with a four on the floor = 1.5 12As (Kristen)
1 FC = 0.5 12As (Collin)
Total = 8.5 12As, not bad for a Tuesday evening in the middle of winter.
And a balmy one it was, in the 70's as the sun went down, no rain. You've got to love Georgia.
It turns out that Crit's SE does run, just ask anybody in the neighborhood.
The cars -
Crit's Tornado Gray SE:
Tim's Silver FB and Collin's Red FC:
Greg the Elder's Purple FB:
Greg the Younger's Tornado Gray FB:
Ray's White FB:

I can see that. Most of us are old farts by high-schoolers' standards anyway. Plus she's the only boinger advocate of the group. It was great to see her Ranchero though - holy cow that's a clean car (or is it truck), and very cool for a HS ride.
Now that my timing's set, I'll get the sensors adjusted, get my airbox screwed down good, and I'll be at Jeffrey's next time. Thanks guys.

Good meeting and great foods, thanks Crit!
When I first arrived and stepped out of the car I sniffed the air and said "What the hell's that smell"?! And then it dawned on me....
Oil, Wankels and cigars, ahhhh.
Very nice. No mosquitos in this neighborhood!

Yeah, the photos in the garage are not overexposed. There really is that much smoke in there from the pickling oil in the chamber that wasn't firing, plus the premix, plus the super-rich mixture.
Good times.
Really, it wasn't bad enough the rotary was smoking, the rotorheads needed to be smoking too:
But I agree with Greg, nothing like the aroma of cigar smoke and rotary exhaust, the crackle of an unmuffled 13B and a bunch of scruffy looking rotorheads roaming the Cul-de-Sac to create an ambiance that makes the neighbors take notice. Great special effects for the party.
Only thing was, I forgot and left my stogy in the White One last night, it will be weeks, if ever, before it smells normal again.

Great meet Crit. Dena was awesome to put up with the smokin rotary... and she's great at the grilling too.
It was good to meet some new faces too.

Thanks Russ, we might want to do a little organizing ahead of time to make the March 4 meeting a swap meet, I imagine more than a few of us are working on a car or two for the spring.
So you OGTA folks post up what you've got here so we know what's available (selling is OK, but make it very reasonable).
Also, I just want to take this opportunity to thank The White One. I'm just turning 50,000 trouble free miles on that car since I put it on the road two years ago. It's such a pleasure to drive that car into work each day!

I'll be there in the GSL-SE. I put Ray's 12A exhaust on behind my 13B exhaust manifold, and it's already quieter with just the pre-cats. I've got to lift the rear end and put the axle in full droop in order to snake the muffler on, and I'm golden. Getting it registered today. Woot woot!!
Russ, I've got that coil for ya.
