I was there, and met a great many bunch of you guys and gals. Had a complete and total blast, as this is was my first one. I am glad I made it up there, because I have made it a point now to make it every year. Wicked thanks to LT1_RX7 for the hospitality.

Hahaha, when he's sees that, he'll be like (he does this every time to me) "IT'S SPELLED WITH AN A!!!!"

I didn't see you out there Tom Next year for sure. I was the random Asian guy walking around with a sweater wrapped around his neck and a black shirt.

I had a wonderful weekend. Thank you, Phil and crew for all the work you put into planning this event. Thanks to all the wonderful and fun loving people with whom I shared a cabin, it was great!!!

Between my brother's pics and videos and Tom's pics you'll see about 17 thousand views of the event and of the Dragon, so no worries

Tom, I'm buying you a life support strap for that 20 pound camera of yours, that thing is lethal

for all who could make it... You didnt miss much....
I mean...... If you like meeting the coolest rotary owners, or seeing the sickest cars.... i guess you would of liked it.... or better yet if you like getting chased by a skyline and fd.... i guess it was O.K.

Kidding aside this was my first one and Im from New york...
And i can officially say i will be there for every upcoming year.
heres a teaser....

Rich: "Hey, from all the pictures i've seen of you online, you must be RedR1!!"
Me: "Holy ****, if you are the F.B.I. I swear my name is Christopher. . . "



I finally got to meet Rich. Awesome guy for sure! He disappeared into the crowd before I could grab his man-*** and proclaim it as property of RedR1

Everyone I met was ice cool. It was nice seeing that R32 Skyline running up and down the mountain. I'll post my pictures up tonight. There was only one incident, but it was minor. A lady hit in a white, old crown vic jumped into our land and hit a real good friend of mine, and he wiped out on his bike (that he bought that same day). A part went up on the tree. Bike had less than 100 miles on it to boot

For sure. I drove from FL. I will make it every year from now on, just like 7stock. Good times were had. Most fun i've ever had at a rotary meet weekend to be totally honest. The dragon just makes it that much more fun

No doubt, that was a great time! I've got some decent video of that Skyline chasing me up the mountain. And Orion was shooting the midnight run as we chased him back down the mountain. (haven't heard how it turned out yet though).

I was worried about attending, because my fb has 220,000 miles on her. But as it turned out, we had no breakdowns and no tickets. The old girl performed like a champ while we were down there too. There were a few RX-8 owners who commented about not being able to get "that damned fb" out of their rearview mirrors. lol. I was surprised that it didn't occur to them that maybe they should pull over and let me by. I think they were all in shock at the time...

Ahhh I thought that was you!

To anyone who uses the EXCUSE not to come that "the car might break down" I offer two bits of food for thought:

1) Fix the damn car
2) There's no safer place to be broken down then surrounded by boat loads of 7's and 7 owners. Ask anyone who had any type of failure - namely the pensacola dude who blew a WP gasket - just how many people will be stopped when they see a down'd 7 with the 4 ways on.

Was a great year, good to meet some of the west coast guys and saw alot of resh faces this year - KEEP IT UP, GET"S BIGGER EVERY TIME!!!

^ also to piggy back with that...
Some dude i believe blew his tranny, and I heard a story of a fellow rotary owner driving up with a spare trans. for him in the trunk..

I think he got it fixed the next day!!!!!! thats better service than what you get at your local shop!!! lol
