Mazda Rotaries at Deals Gap (Tail of the Dragon) April 8th-10th, 2005
Phil, I'd LOVE to come to this...and I mean BADLY, but I just checked, and that's an exam weekend for me
Man this stinks. I'm sure the event is gonna be kick-*** tho!
BTW...why don't you post something about this in the NE region forum? I'm sure some of the VA/MD guys would wanna come too...and maybe some real dedicated folk from further north, too!

Any updates on the hotel, food, etc, etc? I would assume not, but I figured I would be annoying and ask.
I think I am just excited about it even though it is four months away.

I'm sorry if I offended you I just thought it was great that you were gonna take the FD up for the event. What did I say, Oh the barbie girl remark? What I meant by that is that you attract the most beautiful women and your back FD is so nice that your women oftern squeal and swoon over it when they see it. I wasn't specific and I apologize for that. Bring your girl friend along and you'll prove me right.

OK, I guess I can forgive you as long as you don't bring your wifes Acura up to Deal's Gap.
As far as the hotel I am just waiting for the go ahead on any kind of discount before I reserve a room.
Hope you can make it.

But def. a bunch of pics...and if someone can mount a camera and take video of the run, that would be MONEY
Josh,
I'm pretty interested in going. If you reserve a room, get one with two beds and maybe we can split on it. I bet we could get Steve to throw in too, and I've mentioned it to Rick as well. Still, we'll have to wait until maybe March for all this to start coming together. It's just too early for me to know if I'm going to have some school obligation.

Ray, sounds good. I will try to catch up with you and Rick at one of the meets. Several of the other members have shown some interest. If everyone goes, included you and Rick, I think we would have 5-6 people so far. It would be cool to caravan up there.

Sorry guys.. My internet cable modem died on me over the weekend..
I haven't heard from RotoSport... I'm hoping they will sponsor this event as it was their idea to solely sponsor this event..
Anyhow, I'm not sure how many of you are interested.. but some of us here in AL are thinking about going up there this coming weekend to check out the area and such... If the weather is good.. Its going to be a quick one day trip.. most likely I'm going to bring my daily.

It is in the western part of NC, at the eastern part of TN. Better question would be how far from Chatanooga. You would run, or at least I would, hwy 64 out of Choo Choo to hwy 129 to hwy 143. I hope this answers your question.
My Seven is down right now because of a fuel leak and that spent wheel bearing
so I won't make this weekend. Be advised, it's going to get cold again this weekend - it'll probably be close to freezing during the daytime in the mountains.

Deals gap is just south of the Great Smoky Mtn. Ntl. Park. East of Knoxville yes, but it depends on where you are coming from to how you get there. For us it would be out of the way to go to Knoxville and then over to the gap.















There's one of those "You know you drive an RX-7 if" statements haha
