I'm pretty sure Jeremy and Rick are coming.

 

OK, I will pick up a big bag of charcoal and some lighter fluid. Also plates, utensils, etc.

I just picked up a replacement Fiero today. So I have something that will at least make an attempt to keep up when we burn some back roads out there in Bahama. She aint the prettiest, but after I fuse my old one and this one she should be in formidable shape by winter. So when I pull up be on the look out for this car sporting some different wheels.



Hope to see everyone there.

 

it ain't a rotary, but it sure beats a camry

 

Amen, Can't wait to look under the hood and get a look at the engine, HA, HA! Hey Ray can you get Jeremy to post or send me a PM for him and his DAD.

 

Thanks for the updates, with Rick and Jeremy and the 1 coming with rotorfird from Cherry Point and Chris and Brian that brings the committed to 23. We also have several guys coming to the GRR from the RX8 forum, probably a total of 5 so far.

 

I agree. I picked her up for $1400 w/ 90K on the clock. The nice thing is I have all the parts to bring her back up to snuff. So other than unforeseen mechanical issues it shouldnt cost me anything more than some elbow grease and a paint job to get her up to par.

Bert, it sounds like we are going to have a great turnout. Is there anything else you think I should pick up from the store? Is the food taken care of?

 

I'll take care of the food, Dave's party house has a nice frig, so it can be kept overnight there, Ryan said he'd handle the coolers and ice and drinks, Johny is handling directional signs and shirts, Dave will have the place ready for us and I am gonna ask Steve and Ken to plan the drives, two routes to see the country and test our cars handling. Anyone wants to test their directions this weekend they can drive out and help with the cleaning and prep work.

other than the above all is taken care of unless I have overlooked something major. Any ideas y'all have, just let me know.

Bert

 

Hey to all,

I think i'm driving up by myself on friday, unless anyone contacts me and tells me otherwise. I'm staying at La Quinta INN/Stes Raleigh RTP. I'm the only one in the room, There are two queen size beds, if anyone needs a room and wants to pay half (total cost for two nights, friday and saturday night, is $124) You are more than welcome to PM me with any questions. Check in is at 3:00pm on Friday. Just letting you guys know where i'll be. MapQuest says it'll take 37min to get to GRR from the hotel, i'm probably somwhere halfway between Raleigh and Bahama I suppose, if anyone decides to go to Raleigh after GRR my room would be a good place to stop by!

 

I might head out there sometime tomarrow.....If its alright with Dave. If its also cool....I might bring the drinks and coolers and ice on Friday...if Dave has a big enough freezer.... Saturday is gonna be a busy day....I'm planning on me + I might be bringing a date (no no...not the FD lady or the bananna girl)....I'll have to go pick her up.... then I'm still up for anyone that wants to meet up in Raleigh and we can caravan to Daves place...
If anyone wants to meet up in Raleigh...I can meet you guys at the Char-Grill if you want. I'll say I'll meet you guys there at 1:00pm. From there we can hit up 540 and catch HWY 70 to Durham....either let me know in here...or PM me. I'll make a list of who is gonna be with me so we dont forget anyone

 

I think we're gonna caravan from Steve's house, seeing how it's a more accessible location than the Char Grill (it's 2 minute off 40). That is, unless Steve had another idea...

 

Oops lol Forgot about that....I had mentioned earlier if anyone in Raleigh wanted me meet me out there.....
The offer still stands though! Just hit me up.

 

Dude, you will be staying about 2 minutes from my house if your staying in the one off of airport BLVD. I'm the next exit down off of I40. Let me know if you wanna come hang out, or if you wanna roll out with us on saturday.

Steve

 

If any body wants to follow me out to GRR, PM me so i can get your directions. I live right off of I40, by the RTP airport. We will be heading out about 1:15.

Steve

 

I may stop by there. Im a FB man. Later, Carl

 

Welcome Carl, Always great to have more FBs. We have a few that show up at the Drive-Ins occasionally and it is a thrill to have another one join the GRR. If you have any questions just let us know.

See you on Saturday.

Bert

 

steve, i'm interested in following you from your house.

 

I would love to come guys but I'm Dyno tunning my car the following saturady. I have to get ready for that. So I wont be able to make it to this one wish i could tho. I hope everything goes well for you guys and have a great turn out. I know for sure I will see you next year tho.

 

Well I finally got my work schedule for this week and I DO work on saturday, so I can't make it. Kind of a bummer. But you guys have lots of fun and take pictures!!

--Lauren

You could caravan from Steve (aka Smoken')s house with several of us. He's two minutes off I-40 in Durham county. Go send him a PM.

 

Yeah, anybody is welcome to follow me over there, I live off of i-40 in the RTP. PM me if you would like dirctions.


Steve

 

Hey Steve, I've been meaning to ask if you have seen Dale lately. I haven't found a recent post and was wondering if you'd contact him about the rally. Just want to make sure he is aware of the rally.

Bert

There is a guy coming up from Jacksonville who is on the RX8 forum called 8's enough who is driving up on Saturday and was looking for someone to caravan with. You might check him out to see what his plans are.
