dgrr 2009
 

Any info yet?

Phil is still working on nailing the date down.

You can check out www.dealsgaprotaryrally.com and see if he posts updates there.

PM me if you have any other questions.

im gonna try and make this one again.

Sucks, but I don't think I can make it this year :(

I CANT get another speeding ticket, and i got one each of the last two years, just cruising down the highway at 80mph.....

Rich, have you considered cruising down at a speed a little less than 80mph?

Or even better, have you ever considered investing in a better radar detector?

It doesnt get much better than a Valentine 1 with the latest software ;)

just givin' you some hell, rich. a friend of mine when out to the dragon today with his boss and ended up with a 75 in 45 ticket.

Then how are you going to get a ticket up there? Last half dozen times ive gone up over the summer with my V1 (older model) its at least 1-2 corners worth of warning, helped avoid an unmarked Explorer AND a THP pig-on-a-hog, all in the same afternoon.....

Perhaps you should just trade the FD in on a lower profile FC or FB and just leave the lights in the dust all the way to the state line?

That's great advice man, I think I'll look into that :icon_tup:

On a serious note, both tickets happened on the way down or the way back, the trip from NJ isn't exactly a short one.

Can I go 60 or 65 mph the whole way? sure. would it really suck? yes. I don't know, I'll think about it.....DGRR has been the highlight of my year (car-wise) the last two years :)

well dont think too hard on it, if someone doesnt pay for those officers to harass us taxpaying motorists instead of fighting real crime...I dunno what they might do.

But I look forward to seeing as many rotaries and not so triangular powered mazda's at the next DGRR

I really want to make it out this year. I have never been before. Hopefully some fellow MD guys will go so we can caravan down. My FD rebuild should be done in december so i should be good. Just need to know the dates to take off work and reserve a hotel.:icon_tup:

yeah, i'll let people know when more info is available. Phil is still talking with one of the "villages" to finalize details.

Last year on our way down, the Canuck Caravan rarely dipped below 80MPH. Only problem we had is one guy in an FC lost his alt so he had to turn his lights off to keep his computer running, so an Ohio state trooper pulled over the R32 GTR instead. Yeah, it didn't make any sense to us either.

Man, you can basically blaze all the way from NJ to VA based on my experience, so I'm unsure why you have been so unlucky. I'm guessing you got stopped somewhere in Virginia, where the speed limit is lower than anywhere else along the way, right? Virginia troppers are bastards, they literally hide up in the bushes and between hills in medians trying to catch people, serious business.

because an r32 still looked stranger than an FC with the lights off?

Rich get a montego FD and you become INVISIBLE to radar ;)

It's a go! Check out the site.

HeHe..You gotta go Rich. Bring the girl! My wife will have someone to hang w/! G

Red - I live it but can't own another red car.

Awkwardly enough I have had more tickets in a grey 04 civic and navy 91 beater accord than in the VR 7.

Would love to go. Have to get out of work and fix car.

Sorry but where is DGRR ?? I know i might get smash talk, but who cares...

im going. and i'm stopping at pf supercars on the way down to get tuned, whats up

Deal's Gap, AKA Tail of the Dragon, AKA US129. 11 miles, 318 individual turns. Posted speed limit is 20/30MPH, hitting a top speed of probably 60 or 70 (I think, I was looking at the road more than the cluster) it takes about 20-30 minutes to go through. It's located on the North Carolina/Tenessee state line about an hour south of Knoxville.

See. No smash talk required.

Cool Thanks for the info

do other cars ever come? my roomate is interested in driving down with me but he's got a supra

Daniel brought a GTR last year.

We won't beat him up too badly :):):)

haha nice. i might crash zdays this year too. I finally got an fd and i just want to take it everywhere.

The event was originally called 'Mazda Rotaries at Deal's Gap' but for legal reasons, it became 'Deal's Gap Rotary Rally'

Thanks.

Looks good any other people coming from New york?
