Who what ???

 

I have my reasons for not coming to the local meets.

And "dont turn around next time we go up the mountain." Can you explain that, it makes no sense...

 

Last time we had the Twin city meet you came but as soon as we got close to the dragon you went back home . Remember ???

 

I didn't know where the event was I just know how to get to the dragon and back. Anyway I was late so I probably missed out on a lot anyway. I figured I would have ran into a bunch of rx-7s on the dragon when I went anyway.. I was let down when there wasn't any there. Oh well next year.

 

Yeah, I remember. I had a very busy day. I couldn't just spend 2 hours going off and doing something. I went to the meet (albeit a bit late but they usually last longer at one spot) and that's what I expected to go to. I had things to do that night. My responsibilities don't just get put on hold because people decide to go run the Dragon.

If that's not a good enough explanation, then how about this one: my car was not mechanically sound. I was late that day because I had to change my oil since it was the first time I drove the car in several months. I'm not about to go drive the Dragon without a proper check of my car (which served me well since I found potentially fatal problems).

DGRR is not about the Dragon. It's about meeting all the people and seeing the cars. I/people can run the Dragon whenever they choose, but there's only 1 big get together like this that offers the chance to meet people and see the cars like this.

the actual event was up in bryson city NC, where a few cars just never went down saturday, I didnt see the Re-Speed FB go down at all, just a few short passes in front of the resort, and I dont think one of the 20b's went either on saturday, neither did the RE5 bike. It really wasnt that bad of a drive up there, mostly 4lane highway after you get past fontana a few miles.

 

Not sure about the others, but the RE-5 wouldn't start.

It took me about an hour in the Mazda 6 to get from Nantahala through the Dragon.

 

I made good time from Nantahala to the dragon, and if it wasnt for the harley in front of me i would been down in 40 or less

 

So what's the news on the wrecks? Anyone get hurt?

 

go to the other forum for pics and info >.>

 

If you got down in 40 you were driving way too fast.

Check out this thread for the info. But nobody got hurt that I know of.

 

like i said, if the truck and harley would have gotten out of the way I would have made great time.

 

 

Derick, you shoulda had a camera.!!

 

hey i need some info.......! i got a 96zx and i have a 13b rotary clip and i was wondering how much do u think the swap would cost and wat other parts do u think i would need?

 

if any one has any intel on that could u email me at Mrmason22@yahoo.com

 

We had a camera Louie, but neither of us was in a picture taking mode, more like drool.

And what im not sure what a "96zx" is, but what kind of 13b do you have for this swap? 86-88 nonturbo, 87-88 turbo, 89-91 nonturbo, 89-91 turbo, or 93-95 twinturbo? Or is it a 13b-re?

 

I'm guessing he has a 2nd gen 300ZX. Wouldn't recommend swapping a rotary into that heavy bird at all. Why are you asking here?

 

Hey guys, zeefoto.com has Saturday pics up!!! There's 47 pages, over 1000 shots. Some of ours were on 7, 23, 24, 46... and some others I think. They got some pretty good ones, including Jeremy all the way in the wrong lane!!!.... not really, just kiddin' Jeremy

 

bleh im waiting for killboy...he seemed to be the only one taking pics when i went by....

yeah...1000+pics on Zeephoto but not ONE of the early run up

 

They had a few of the rest of us. Oh the purpleness. On one pass the guy got a little crazy with Lou's truck, he took like 5 shots of it as it went by! Totally missed the rear of our cars for it too.

Killboy and US129 should both have quite a few. What sucks is that when I went back by on my own and actually got a chance to run my car a little, a lot of them were just sitting around or looking through the pics on their cameras.

 

yeah, us129 and killboy should have the morning shots when we snaked up through at a decent clip, im curious to know how the front end looked all put back together kinda lol

Ok US129photos.com has saturdays pics up, almost 1400 to look thru

wow double edit, us129 has pics of the early run guys >>

 

Wow, there's some pretty good pics. Look like everybody in front of my truck was going way too slow!!! HA!

 

no **** >.< i blame it on that pos ford....but on the bright side free advertising man
