Came over from the RX8club to try and rally some interest here.

A couple of us figured quite a few people will be traveling through Cincinnati, Lexington and Louisville heading down to DGRR. Since it's still early, times and locations aren't set in stone, but here's the plan:

Friday April 29th

71 and 75 south travelers:
Meet in Cincinnati at 9:30AM. Plan to head out at 10:30AM. Location Fuel Coffe. (I will post maps once all locations are set.)

64 and 65 Travelers:
Meet in Louisville at 9:30AM. Plan to head out a 10:30AM. Location TBD.

Both groups will meet in Lexington around noon and plan to leave for the gap by 1:00PM.

I will keep this thread updated to match the RX8club thread and vice versa.

Let me know if you're interested meeting up with us.

 

now thats the spirit!!

 

Thanks 13x! I was hoping to get out to WHIV with you guys too, but the wife put an end to the 2 months in a row, traveling for Rotary meets dream pretty quickly.

 

if you need people to join im always down to follow some fellow Ohio RX-7's down. ill see who i can round up from here.

 

Nice. We have a couple canadian 8's, a couple cincy 8's and a few 7's and 8's from KY. It's still early on, but it will hopefully be a decent size caravan.

 

Sounds great! I'm coming from northwest Indiana, and I'll probably hook up with you in Louisville. Really looking forward to this.

 

I haven't registered yet, but I will probably be able to go once I figure out my schedule. Yasser, keep me updated on the Columbus caravan. I'll join up with you guys.

 

Haven't registered yet either, but I'll probably be able to go too, as soon as I get the 20b running.

 

Glad you guys are interested! Gonna try to get all the meet points set this week. I'll edit my original post with the info.

Counting the replies here, it looks like we'll have at least 10 or so cars by the time both groups meet up in Lexington. Not too bad and we have a lot of time before the event.

 

I can't wait until the end of April. I am so looking forward to this!

 

Viperx7 and I are going down on Thursday morning we have already got a room at the Lodge.

 

I think a there are a few others taking the same route down on thursday as well. Due to my old man's work schedule I have to head down Friday.

 

I can meet up either thursday or friday. I hope the itinerary comes out soon, because it would certainly make it easier to plan. i think I read somewhere that last year there was a photoshoot on friday, which I would really like to make.

 

are engine conversions allowed at this? a few friends here are trying to talk me into going but the only rx7 i currently have has a diesel in it- if i can i am just off uc campus and would love to join a cinci caravan

 

12a, you already know how i feel about the turbo diesel.

Some changes to the caravan plan. My buddy heading up the Louisville end and I have decided to move all the meet times up an hour so we can get to the dragon a bit earlier. Hopefully we'll be able to catch a photoshoot if it happens.

Friday April 29th

71 and 75 south travelers:
Meet in Cincinnati at 8:30AM. Plan to head out at 9:30AM. Location Fuel Coffee. Map

64 and 65 Travelers:
Meet in Louisville at 8:30AM. Plan to head out a 9:30AM. Location TBD.

Both groups will meet in Lexington around 11:00AM and plan to leave for the gap by 12:00PM.

I will keep this thread updated to match the RX8club thread and vice versa.

Let me know if you're interested meeting up with us.

The Louisville meet location should be settled soon.

We're still trying to figure out a location to meet near Lexington. Right now we're thinking the Winchester Rd. Exit off of 75 which is one exit south of the 64/75 split. Anyone in the area have any suggestions?

 

Works for me. I am interested in seeing this turbodiesel as my other car is an '09 Jetta TDI.

 

78 days to go. I'm a bit excited.

 

Subbing for info. I'm in Bowling Green, Ky and can catch the group going past London Ky on 75.

 

By all means you can come with a car with a engine conversion, Some people show up with Skylines, 240sx with Sr20det swaps, FC`s and Fd`s with LS1`s, So come on down and enjoy. This year is going to be the largest yet. Parking will suck though.

 

I'm bringing my Mazda wagon, it's not rotary or an RX but I jump at any excuse to go to Deals Gap.

 

We'll have to figure out a way to give you a heads up and make easy to jump in the caravan.

 

We're getting closer everyone. We should have the Louisville and Lexington meet spots picked out soon so we can get this show on the road.

 

God I wish me and my FD could join you guys but im in afghanistan til June Im doing this deployment for my FD though Cant wait to dump all this hard earned money in her. Maybe next year!

 

Hey guy's the Louisville side of things here, thought I had a location worked out, but they pulled on me, another place closed, If all else fails there is a rest area that I have in mind as well as a park, but it is a bit off the highway. Anyone from the area have any suggestions?

 

My car is finally running and seems to be 100 percent.
I'm at the end of the mountain parkway in eastern Kentucky.
Somebody said something about meeting the caravan in London; I could do that as well.
