Nice Video...it feels a lot fast than mine but maye it's becasue of the wind noise. Yep, we were keeping up with bike's....recieved a thumbs up!

I don't think that video had the S-turn in it. What a bummer. It's a nasty snappy Laguna Seca type S-turn. I should call it the "Li'guna."

<i>Wow, looks like someone laid their bike down on one of the curves...</I>
I almost hada guy go down in front of me. It would have been a nice snack. The guy tried to pass the car in front of me. He ran out of room and got on the brakes hard which resulted in tank slappage."

Hopefully I will have enough to get another motor for the FD, but if I don't, would yall mind if i stopped by? I'd be truckin it from Jacksonville, FL in the daily beater, so you know im definately rotarded

Spending time with fellow car enthusiasts, especially rotor heads, is always a bonus.

Not a problem.. Far as participating in the drive, I ask all non-rotary car to stay back or in seperate group.

We are going to have specific plan by march.. as of now we will make one single pass thru Deals Gap as an entire group.. and one other pass as a small group so that we could stop and sight see.

They told me that they have heat blankets for 40 large pizzas.. I think 40 should feed most of the shirt purchasers.

Also, We have another sponsorship!!! RX7Trix!!

I think there is a caravan in plan from FL to Deals Gap.

As of now, we all are trying to meet in Chattanooga for dinner before heading into Deals Gap.

By the way, some of us Alabamians are heading to the Gap this saturday to check out the scene.. who's in?? Most likely we'll be in some other car.. I'll be in my legend coupe.
