Hey guys -

First off, had a GREAT time this year at DGRR! Even with the weather, my flat tire, and my speeding ticket, it's just a fantastic car event second to none.

Remember, next year will mark the 10th anniversary of the event! We need to work to make this the BIGGEST one ever. So -

- Start planning what you'll be doing on your car over the year NOW so the car will be up, running and ready for April 2014

- Get your RX-7 buddies that didn't make it this year to get their cars in one piece and happy so they can come up next year

I'd love to see 400+ rotary cars next year, and I think it can be done. There were a lot of new people this year who all had a blast, and I know they'll be back. I know at least 3-4 guys here locally that didn't come this year for one reason or the other, if you start in on the convincing now we can get 'em for 2014!

Dale

 

I like your thinking Dale. I've got the pass for next year. Probably won't be in a rotary but I'll be in attendance.

 

I know of about a dozen from my area that didnt attend this year for one reason or another,,,

Lol literally wrote this up this afternoon,,,

 

that's a nice list. reverse hood latches? rear trunk pass through?

 

you'll see. Ive been eyeing up Viper hood latches on ebay and Im pretty sure I can make them work,,,

 

Get to work! lol...looking forward to seeing this. All I did was open up my vacation account for auto deposit so I'll save for the trip.

 

Shipping it over can be included in the preparation list?

 

Ill be there next year with my FD, but I am actualy going to book for a whole week, there is so much todo there from rafting to hiking, drive through the smokey mountains ect,

 

I was thinking something very similar a couple years ago... Never got around to messing with it. I'll look forward to seeing it.

Tell Bethany I said hi BTW... lol... such a small world...

 

ha thats you! I told her I probably knew you, small world indeed, we were all laughing about yesterday at lunch,

 

Dale, 400 rotaries?? I don't think I want that many.. If we get close to 300, I might have to put a brake on as it could potentially be a nightmare and I might get lung cancer and kill most of my brain cells from Carbon monoxide from rotary exhausts.. However, that being said, I will be working with city of Bryson City to use much bigger parking area if we do get 300+ cars.

Eddie, You'll be in a rotary See you at Bham

 

Phil if you need help I volunteer for next year

 

SOunds good! I'll add you to the Volunteers list. Can you send me an PM with your email?

 

1000+!

 

1000+ Rotaries!? SOLD!!!..... lol

But seriously, I don't think we'll have 1000 people. I would guess somewhere around... 500 people and maybe... 250~350 cars. The community may surprise us though....

 

I'll be in the same car but with the super charger. And phil, you can add me to the volunteers too Maybe you'll get a ride this time, wink wink.

 

Hopefully getting the Cosmo running and there next year. If someone would buy my damn RX-8...sooner than later.

 

I'll be reviving my car for the event! might even give it a second coat of primer

 

I have a LOT of work to do in order to get my BB '95 FD ready for this event.

It's currently running, but it's undergoing a complete winter teardown, to include a possible engine bay repaint......

April is just around the corner !

 

I need to finally make it to this event one year. Of course, the TII still doesn't look much different than my avatar picture, so, uh, yeah. I have some work to do.

 

I'm planning on going this year again. Car is running great so nothing to do but wait. Hopefully, i'll be able to stay at the lodge this time. Both times I've gone, I've had to stay elsewhere.

Can someone please remember to grease the police this year so we all don't get tickets again

 

im going to be going this upcoming year forsure. not sure what i am going to drive yet hopefully my fd or fc but no matter what i got the rx8 this year so no reason to not go now. i have friends that are offering to drive any of them that i dont drive so might bring them all down

 

LMAO!! its a busy week they have all kinds of cars to pick from . I remember some of the looks we got from the police last year when they had missed their chance..

 

Looking forward to coming back to DGRR for the big anniversary.

 

^this

Can't wait till April
