Over the bars at probably 120 or so, brakes locked (fast enough to sheer off street sign with the footpeg).........the sharp off ramps come off the high side of a an interstate going over a road. but thats around here. and I will never forget it. LOL

I have wanted to come for the past 12 years but my social anxiety makes it really hard to come. I keep building myself up to try and go but I can never do it.

Ditto, and being among the few Link EMS owners among a sea of Haltech's, we should compare notes on our setups & tune!

The registration is basically for a shirt and to be "Officially" a part of the group. It really is a great event. Come on out and you will understand! lol

Here’s a great article on DGRR, its from 2012.
I’ve been going almost every year since 2010, always a great time for me and my friends.
Also it’s not only rotaries, plenty of guys show up with swap cars and enjoy DGRR too.
All are welcome 👍

Steve

Is there a schedule for any of the three days? or just a hang out type thing. It's hard to get the wife to agree to come to things without knowing when she will have free time to "shop"

You are free to do whatever you like while there. There is no real schedule.

You can look in DGRR threads from past years to see the itinerary, they usually follow a similar pattern.
I'm sure as it gets closer, they'll post more info.

There are typically seminars etc. Friday will be a Photo at Fontana damn, and Saturday will be a car show. There are seminars scattered in between usually. In the past we've had a "banquet" that was more of a party and raffle. It's a fun week. Been doing this almost 20 years now.

I believe there was adequate time for just about anything you want to do and youncould skip just about anything tou want also. The best part for me was just hanging out in the parking lot talking with people, taking a couple trips to the dragon that isn't part of the itinerary, and the drive that Dale led.

We've been trying to figure out a way to do it. It's complicated not having the space at the home location.

I can't believe it's already less than two months away. The FC is having a good test trip this weekend to RADwood at Amelia Island.
