I've got a spare FD trans sitting around. I'm sure we could do some cutting/grinding/etc to make it fit

As stated, support vehicles are welcome but feel free to ride along with me as well. Hell, if you can make it out maybe I'll drive my FD and let you drive the FB
It is looking like the meet/cruise is going to be this Sunday and unfortunately Cecil county is closed for a private rental. Would you be able to make it to Capitol Raceway?
I was lazy and didn't get done what I wanted this weekend either. Hehe, oh well I have the nights this week to get it done. You can Do it!!

I can't even work on mine during the week as I am in the Woodbridge area and the cars down in Fredericksburg!
Cut a deal! I did by getting the wife a new wedding ring, now I have full financial reign to do as I please. Probably a poor choice on her end though hah
I'm picking up a kitten for mine at DGRR, hopefully she'll help me with money to put mine back together after that

Well ****... it looks like this weekend I'll be helping to move an FB and an RX-8 up to CT so they can get Frankensteined together into one fun/advanced FB.
So if the cruise happens this weekend I won't be able to make it since I'll be out of town.

Well, right now the weather is looking really good for Sunday. I'd hate to skip the day and get some rain the next week. BUT, on the other hand I also want as many people to be available as possible, so the 13th it is! Everyone keep your fingers crossed for good weather that day too.
Where? at FedEx? That might be possible. I need to take the GT6 out and stretch her legs.

The weather is looking great for this Sunday. Unfortunately, I won't be able to make the 13th. I'll monitor this thread for changes...but it looks like I'm going to miss another one of these fine events. Rocky - if you're taking a drive to FedEx on Sunday, let me (or this thread) know....I may be able to join you. The FD needs a run after this long ridiculous winter.
Hope all is well with everyone.

Sorry for the scheduling conflict dude, It seems like you are always left out. Yeah I'd be down for stopping by the AutoX on Sunday. I've never been to one at FedEx and want to check it out before I try and run there. I don't know what would be the best time to stop by and have a look but maybe Mike will chime in and let us know.

I won't be in my rx-7, I'm co-driving my little brother's BRZ, but David Lane will be there in his turbo GSL-SE driving at the same time as me

Good looking choice on grub though....I'm always on the look-out for a Chap's Pit Beef (in Baltimore) equal. I'll confirm later today on tomorrow. You're going to plan on leaving around 9-930 then? Anyone else up for a mini roadie?

Sounds good. Might have to hit up a few more auto-x's to brush up on the skills though.
No worries Rock. It could always rain next week and it'll be rescheduled. Good looking choice on grub though....I'm always on the look-out for a Chap's Pit Beef (in Baltimore) equal.

Alright everybody, the cruise is coming up Sunday so I need to get a final head count of who intends to show up so I know who to look out for.
Duc and I ran the route yesterday and apart from a couple of poorly patched roads, two U-turns, and a sloped entrance to the BBQ stand (take it at an angle), it's pretty good. It is also a lot shorter then previous routes so we can use the unspent gas money on other things
ROUTE MAP
Weather shows a possibility of fog but only 10% chance of rain so far. We'll keep an eye on it as the week goes by.
Rough Schedule is as follows:
Right now I have these people listed as showing (Let me know if there are any changes):
1)He's on Toroids - Rocky
2)87FCna - Shane & GF
3)MolotovMan - Ian
4)SDelong2 - Stephen
5)plax are meth - Yani
6)driftxsequence - Dave
7) ArmitageGVR4 - Matt
8) 93rx74lyfe - Justin & Gf
8) JL1RX7 - Jack
9) Fendamonky - Levi
