My blood smells like rotary. I think I need sleep and a shower. Maybe both simultaneously. But first, sweet Jeebus... I have to go through all 300 or so pics and videos I shot today.
I went too late I guess. All I saw was one blue fb, about eight fcs, one fd, and 15-20 rx-8.
I did see an accident some cat on a bike swipped a black fc. It appeared that everyone was ok. The damage to the fc was crazy though. Derrick's swipped turbo looked nothing like this and he was hit by a semi. This guy had on paint and probably barely metal left.
Anyway as for me. I had an okay time. I would have had more fun with a leader and/or pack. I kinda wish I didn't go now since it was just me and my girlfriend. Oh well once a year is enough I guess.

Most of the ones I took Friday night didn't come out. Too dark and rainy. No surprise there.

The best cars came out in the afternoon. Dream cars. Along with all the rotary goodness, there was an R32 GTR, R34 GTR, some really nice widebody 2nd gen 300ZX's, a 323 GTX, a Lotus Elise, the usual assortment of Miatas and Subies, and we spotted a TA22 first gen Celica on Alcoa Highway. I'm probably forgetting some stuff. About the only thing I didn't see was a Supra.

Oh hey, speaking of the motorcycle crash... I nearly got sideswiped myself on the way back! I saw the rider coming on fast and noticed he was taking some pretty risky lines, so I pulled to the outside of my lane. He whizzed by me with his wheels on the double yellow, leaning far into my lane. He got so close to my door that HE ACTUALLY MOVED MY CAR with the wind from his pass! Had I not moved over to the outside of my lane, he would've been picking my mirror out of his teeth. Retard.
dude i bet that was the same biker what a dumb ***!!!!!!! that poor fc....anyway on to more pressing matters i need a damn motor for that car or just get this t2 motor iam looking at and just put it in the gtu and put the sp motor in the base.

No guys, we didnt miss a thing. We went all the way to the resort in NC and saw everything, hung out up top and talked to several people. We didnt take anypics though as we were to busy talking to everyoone and drooling. But from the sounds of it one of the FCs got ripped open by a bike yesterday, and the widebody gunmetal FD found a guardrail on a beer run, something about rocks on the road and sliding.

Only primer car that I saw, Jeremy! Unless you count that flat black FB.
Could have been the same guy... you try your luck too many times and eventually it'll run out.
Damn Derrick! Those were two of the nicest cars up there. We need to head on over to their forum and snoop some info.

Maybe, ive looked on the other forum, not much for pics yet, but then again i saw cars so meh. But the drive up to the resort was nice, was a rather quick drive back down and to the house aside from getting behind a harley and a pickup that wouldnt pull off for me and a line of 8's
From what I hear, the FC and the biker were both on/near the yellow line. It appears to be that they're both at fault.
All I know is I was gone . I was pushing a couple of fds up the mountain they know who they are ... pffff . A 5ababy maybe you should put the same effort in attending knoxville meets . Dont turn around next time we go up the mountain . What happen ????
