Just got off the phone with Mr. G Monsen and his N/A three rotor beast is making the trip down. I'm bringing my FD as well, and I know many many people in the NE have expressed interest. Gio/amp, Dan/Scrub, Don Francis/DJF(NJ), Marc/2rotor, etc etc.

How about it guys? We'll cruise down nice and easy on thursday the 16th, stay at a hotel, then roll into Bryson City NC on friday the 17th in time for the festivities. The last two events have been amazing, definitely the highlight of my year

Rotary engined motorcycle, three rotor FDs, Cosmo's, you name it, this year should be amazing!!

i suggest going to the tuesday meet thread theres a bunch of guys going on there too...you should all go together

 

yea for some reason they all shifted over to 8 club..i informed them about what you guys are planning...wether they listen or not is another thing in itself

 

Thats a really really long drive. How long did it take you guys to get there in the past?

 

Hey guys whats up. I'm from the 8/club. Mabye we can caravan together.

If you do it in 2 days it's not bad at all. The bigger the caravan the better, I definitely want a nice leisurely cruise down there and back, with minimal crazy driving. The fun driving happens on the Dragon

I can NOT get a speeding ticket this year......last two years I got snagged, once 75 mph in a 65 on the highway and once 55 in a 45. Crazy thing was I going the flow of traffic, why are they pickin' on me? 500+ horsepower and I'm going double digit speeds, why are the cops complaining ?

 

im game.. rich pm me the logistics..
preference being a small group on a leisure pace..
need to make sure the fd is done in time as well and im able to block off those days...

 

I would say right now we have 3/ rx8's, 3/ rx 7's, amd a Mx-5.

 

Y a small group bigger groups are more fun. But only when all the drivers in the group are responsible. but is that ever the case? sometime i guess...

 

Spoke to Scrub, his silver FD is going through some serious body mods, but he should be able to make it

 

we shouls cruise down together.....there is safety in numbers for sure.....i believe we are leaving thursday night around 10ish....but i dont think thats concrete yet.....would be nice to see a few of you guys again....its been a while!

 

I'm tentatively planning to leave thursday morning, but if I end up having to work that day they I may head out thurs nite.....

 

This Tuesday night, all the plans will be worked out. You guys are welcome to come through.

 

im intrested in going and doing the caravan thing as long as its the 'mature' crowd. i don't need a speeding ticket, but more importantly i don't want some wanna be driver smacking my car into a guardrail as he tumbles down the highway because he's driving beyond his limits.

my other big concern is car safety. my FD has never spent a night outside of a heated garage since i've owned it. i don't know if i'd be able to sleep with my car in some random hotel parking lot, especially being so far from home. no one is concerned about having thier car stolen or damaged?

mabye its the new york in me, but when i think hundreds or rotorheads in one town, i'm thinking at least a dozen or 2 ppl will be there 'car shopping'...

i love rotary meets and this looks like THE BEST meet i have ever been to, but i'm having a hard time convincing myself that my investment will be safe...

rich, others, how has the parking, car safety thing been at previous events?

 

i can assure you our crowd will for the most part be mature.....im bringing my wife and a few others are bringing so's.....as for safety of your car you know this aint a civic meet...i know for a fact if i saw some one doing something stupid to some one elses car i would get ugly on them......our bond is usually different than other car groups......this is also gonna be the first time my car slept outside!

 

ive got the same concern roan...
only time any of the fds have spent outside of a garage overnight was when purchased..
drove one from cali to jersey.. concerned enough that i slept in the fd instead of stayin at a hotel... couldnt find any in ground level next to the parking spot..
wonderin if there are any nearby campsites.. which im thinkin about it could make for an interesting rotary gathering...

 

god too lazy to read through everyones post...

but im from the tuesday meet too.. we are planning to head out thursday night around 10ish from our tuesday spot and drive through the night and taking a few stops for gas/stretch our legs.. weve planned to leave thursday night bc some of us have class/ work during the day...

if you guys head hour thurs morning and stay at a hotel shoot me a pm and maybe friday morning we could hook up along the way.. depending where u stay and what time we pass through...

but if you guys want youre more then welcome to join us for our caravan or meet up with us along the way

 

Rich its good to see alot of NE people going... Im heading over there with alot of 8 club members and a couple of 7club.

Agreed with keeping the crazy driving to a min. i need to save gas!!!! LOL

 

I was actually thinking about this just today. I'm on the other side of the city from most of you guys and looking at a good 13-14 hour drive, or so I believe. I would really like to break it up into two days. Leave thrusday night ~ 6 as the traffic is starting to get light, stop around 12-1 in or around MD, get back on the road ~10 the next morning and get into Nantahala village ~grub time.

I definately have to work that day, so it's not a question for me.

The only way to steal my car is with a flatbed, damage though is another thing. I think if we were to find a nice little small town somewhere in MD and a decent hotel, things should be OK. I also plan to keep my car under locked cover.

I'm definately interested in some sort of caravan though. Two days would be best.

What about going back though? That I'm thinking about hitting strait.

 

Woah that sounds awesome!

 

Gio and Roen, I've never had any problems whatsoever with parking my FD out overnight, and mine is as nice and has as much cash into it as most others on this forum. That's what my three alarms are for

At the event, you should have zero concern, the crowd is a pretty mature and upstanding group. There's never been an issue and I certainly don't anticipate one.

 

I just signed myself and my brother up at this link and encourage everyone to do the same, don't wait

Just spoke to Ray Crowe today and he was on the fence. He was no match for my superior sales skills and I convinced him to go to this year's event
