Derek - flyer picture kinda makes your attendance mandatory ! For non-local folks - Despite Annapolis on flyer, the area is actually Annapolis Junction designation, just north of where I live in Laurel, Rt.32 & Rt.295 area. Last night's NBC local 10 day forecast had the only chance of rain as Sunday 10/8, lol.

That is kind of why I listed as I probably would skip the cruise as I will for sure be at this meet the entire time, but of course there is time before and after as well to hang out with the peeps.

I'd call it for the 8th if it was going to be clear, but unfortunately it isn't looking like weather is going to cooperate with us.

Hey Eddie, keep checking here. There will be a final decision made once Mother nature confirms her plans. We don't go in the rain so later in the week we may wave off if the forecast stays bad.



Everyone, keep your calendars flexible and stay tuned to this station. The final decision will come later in the week. Check back Thursday.

If we end up running it this Saturday then I may give Adam (Afgmoto) the keys to my Miata and see if he wants to tag along for the skyline cruise in my place since he'll be in town and I'll be in class until approx noon.

Yea, don't feel obligated to do that show. Right now it doesn't mention rain, but the show is a rain or shine event due to being a parking garage. It was $10 to spectate and like 25-35 to do the show, but if you go to the page and put elite as the coupon code it gives $5 off, and military is free with id. I've already registered for a top level spot anyway and will probably bring a canopy just in case.

I guess we need the rain around here but it's coming at a highly inconvenient time.

I'd be up for a short(er) meet and greet at a local brew pub if the official drive gets cancelled. Most of us may have blocked out Sunday anyways and rescheduling a full drive later on may get complicated.

I'll await the final verdict......

Well, looks like Mother Nature is a B*tch. Right now the Forecast is calling for 80% chance of rain on Sunday. I think we are going to have to push to next week. Sorry to all those affected and left out, not what I wanted to do.

Sorry Duc, if I schedule something else it is highly likely that people may show up at one and bail on the other cause they just saw everyone. We are going to shoot for the 15th for the cruise unless the forecasts determine that we need to go 14th. Right now both days are clear.

If anyone is free on Saturday though, I am scheduled to do an autoX in Waldorf. Everyone is always welcome to come watch/ride along.

*Rocky, thanks for calling it by Thursday as you said you would. Reports all show this Sunday as going further downhill the closer we get to it.
**About Duc - don't worry - he‘s so fearful of that tiny hill leading up to Dirt Farm Brewery that you can he fairly certain he won't be going out in the rain for a brew this Sunday ! lol
***About your autocross - is that this 10/7 or the following Saturday 10/14 ? Is it at Recency Furniture Stadium lot ? When will you show up and when will you be running, and in which jalopy ?

Sounds good, if you still register for the show I am going to, just hit me up and we can grab a spot together. Being in a parking garage it is rain or shine and gets pretty crazy car amount wise.

Can always head out to my place. Go to Two Fat Butchers get some cow, grill out in the rain. Now I have an old beater truck, could use that to haul people up and down Dirt Farm. That is if someone feels frisky enough to ride in the bed of the truck.

If I only knew Sunday was going to be a bust, I would've signed up for this but now it's full. Oh well....

Wes, you should still show up, they'll usually add people day of. Even if they won't, I'll give you three of my runs.

Bill, yeah blue crabs stadium in Waldorf, Oct 7th. I'll likely run the FB.

I emailed them to see if they can add me. Being that it's in Waldorf I can only do morning only.

Sounds like a great ending to a future Shenandoah Cruise Jack. Other plans came up for me tomorrow though. Hopefully, I'll see everyone next week.

I left around 2-2:30 must have just missed you. Wes did morning only and I decided to do the same. Sorry we missed each other.

I actually raced that TR6 instead of the FB. Only hit two cones, but unfortunately they were during my two faster runs.
