that sounds like it would be fun but we need to make sure we give our selves plenty of time to eat and talk about things. since this is the first meet we need to make sure that is the priority. not saying the go-carst arent a good idea i would like to do it but is there a time frame we would haveto meet and how much is it first off

Sounds cool to me.

If we do this, we should all put this in our sigs - "Official NC RX-7 Go-Kart Racing Club"

Ha ha. :lol:

Well it's looking like I'll probably be able to make it. Got the vert back last week with a "new" transmission in it... As long as it holds out for another couple of weeks, I'll be there. Noticed some serious vibrations (buzzing) at certain rpms that transfers through the shifter. Kind of annoying on long drives... Anyway, I'll keep my fingers crossed that this tranny doesn't go out on me !

'90 RX-7 vert

My 12aT is back!!!!!hahaha
Got the motor in this past sat. Still got a few little kinks left in it to work out, but will defineatly be there.

we started putting my kit on tonight. the car will be ready but i dont know if ill be in town.

its still up in the air

i'm gonna be cuttin it real close, but i should be there... car painted and everything!

wish mine was all done like some of you guys but its running and its going good so far knock on wood. well just over a week till the meet. any body come up with an idea where to eat, or anything else about the gocarts????? its getting close so we should try to get most of this figured out now and not wait till that night.

any new updated list up yet of whos comming?

well my car should be ready.... i plan to take it out tomarrow night.

it wont be painted after the kit install so i would be rocking out two tone.

but the good news is... i can boost it again.

Hey Keith, great to hear that you got the tranny rebuilt and are ready to rumble. Since I'm not going to be able to make it to Deals Gap this year I am going to Charlotte next weekend.

I will find out tonight if we have any other RRDI members going down to Charlotte for the rotor fest. It would be fun to go down to Charolotte the back way and maybe find some fun roads to drive. We should have a good turnout tonight after the last Drive-In and today's weather forecast. Hope to see you at the Char Grill,

Bert

Please post a physical adress so some of us from out of town can mapquest it.

here is the link to the mall directions, i tried map questing it and it will not work for me but here are some basic directions

everyone look onthe area map provided on the link and see where you think we should meet, it gives store names and i think we should meet in front of dicks or behind the theater area. just my opinion but we need some one in the area to tell us where is the best place to meet up so we dont get ran off

i say in front where everyone can see us and evyously drool over themselves.

yeah thats what i think infront of diks sporting goods is right in front of the main entrance and in front of the road so thats where we should do it

what time of day?

meet at mall between 4 and 4:30 if possible

why so late?

some people had to work and some people are coming from sc i think just a time taht was mentioned in teh first thread

Well as of yesterday mine is back on the road! 20 miles so far on the new engine. I will be there for sure and if it is a nice weather day I will probably be there early if others want to come out early. As far as eating goes there is an excellent local mexican place called Aztecca about 2 miles away. Also right there at the mall there is an "On the Border", Panera and of course the food court at the mall.

Directions - you can map this as the destination:

W Wt Harris Blvd & I 77
Charlotte, NC 28201, US

The mall is just west of this intersection on Harris Blvd.

Here is a closeup map - the yellow rectangle is the mall.

And here is a smaller scale map to show you were that intersection is in relation to downtown Charlotte.

well im not sure who is taking control of this meet and scheduling everything but, i read in the first threaad to meet around 4 - 4:30. if some of you would like to get there a little earlier then i figure that would be fine. we should meet infront of the main entrance. i think the parking lot has valley parking in the very front. so out in front of dicks i think would work nice. i figure stay more toward the rear of the lot to a void causing any problems. i know cops and security there can be a pain. once everyone gets there and gets to look around and we can talk about deals gap and possible future meetings we should caravan to some where to eat. there we can continue talking and meeting everyone. i think the earlier we can meet the more availvable time and the more relaxed and smooth it will go. so here are some guide lines

if anyone has any suggestions let us know ASAP i think it would work nice like this

Where North Lake Mall (infront of Dicks Sporting Goods)
When No later then 4-4:30pm. (Earlier the better, possibly 3:30 at the earliest if wanted)

Your quickest way is comming through Shelby on 74 E and picking up I-85 in Gastonia. Trust me, I drive all over the state.

I plan to be there early as well, driving another RX-7 if it works out. I may get there between 2 & 3 for those that want to come early. I originally scheduled between 4 - 4:30 to give all of the "out-of-towners" time to get there before the meet fizziled. It looks as though the turn-out is going to be excellent.

As fas as for food, as Shawn mentioned, there are plenty of places to eat. To add to the list, Harris Grill has excellent food and it's not too expensive (it's not McDonald's either). Whatever the crowd decides is what we'll do.

As for the Go-Karts. That sounds like it would be a lot of fun and we can definitely do it, if everyone wants to. We should allow enough time for everyone to hang out and get to know each other, though. As for the discount, I'm about 99% positive we can get a pretty good one without a deposit if we have enough people.

The weather looks good too. Sunny and 61 for the high. Should be a nice day. I look forward to meeting some new faces and seeing some old ones.

See ya'll Saturday.

Joe

i might have to pass on the carts myself even though it was my idea... i leave sunday for snowboarding at jackson hole
