Whats the count for that Ray? BTW, we missed you Ray but it was a last minute thing.

Holly it was great seeing you and your car. Tina and I enjoyed your company.
Hope your ride home Saturday night was uneventful.
Tim, that was a 1.625 equivalent of 12As meeting.
I was so glad that it worked out at the last minute. It was great seeing Tina again. Maybe you could not repair Tina's Bimmer and we can see her with you the next time we meet up.

Ray you would be proud, the only running vehicle on Tim's and Tina's property besides my 8, was the SA. And he had to rescue Tina with the SA. Zoom Zoom!

Thanks for showing me around your place Tim. And remember you and Tina are always welcome when you visit ATL.

Whoah Dave, that's some possibilities. Can you PhotoShop it? We should have a BeerFest here in Jefferson, ala Tim, with camping arrangements. Maybe later this year?

I thought about you and Elizabeth, and Stu up there somewhere. Let's see with your FD and Elizabeth's FC, we could have added 0.83 more points for a total of 2.455.

Ray, all your beer and camping dreams can come true at BRRR this October. Tim will be there with beer again this year. And Tim has to get you up to NC sometime, he always makes the drive down. You have a wonderful 12A Ray, USE IT, DRIVE IT. Sign up for Blue Ridge Rotary Run.

Good God, I can't believe I am actually leaving you all on the 4th! Unless for whatever stupid reason we leave a day early, I *WILL* be at the next OGTA meet! Originally I was planning to leave on the 1st, but due to some last minute things I wanted to do, that's not happening..

Now, I'm not full of myself or anything... BUT... if I were to be making my exit at this next meet and all of the sudden everyone were to shower me with flower pedals and everyone was wanting my autograph, I wouldn't be bothered.

I should have a coil too Colin, if you still need it at the next OGTA meeting just let me know (or pm if you want to arrange a different pick up).

Yeah Collin, what do you want, brake pedals or flower PETALS.

Ray, Holly has a good point. I am targeting the BRRR and I even have camping gear. But, I won't be able to commit until the last minute.

I have an extra stock coil. If things don't work out with Ray ping me.

Oh come on you guys, Collin isn't interested in brake pedals. He wants to be showered in gas pedals.

WAKE UP..... YOU DO NOT WANT TO MISS THIS!!!!!

There is going to be a special Mazda Rotary Fan meeting at MazMart tomorrow evening. That is Thursday, July 29th. Rotorheads can start gathering after 5PM up to about 6PM at MazMart. Then the fun starts. You don't want to miss this, as you may be able to see something that some of you may only see once in your lifetime. I have been given permission to spread the word, but not reveal any surprise. Sorry, you don't get a whole lot of advance notice on these things, if it works for you, take the time to make it out, you are not going to regret it.

Holly

Ah, figures such a meet at Mazmart would be held when I am going to be pumped full of demerol.

Maybe it'll wear off by the time the MazMart gathering is on...

Here is some more info that Paul at MazMart announced on the RX-8 forum:
Last minute as usual: Thursday July 29th

The ultimate small Mazda meet and tour. 5pm-? Mazmart is proud to present the 4 rotor powered RX792P race car. After a brief tour of Mazmart's warehouse and engine shop we will show the race car which belongs to Mazda NAO and start it up.

This is one sexy sounding and looking car (If not THE sexiest). Those wishing to attend, be here by 6 pm for the latest.

Mazmart Inc
4917 New Peachtree Rd
Atlanta GA 30341

That is sweet. I have seen and heard that beast a few times at the Mitty events. If it were a sneak peak at a 16X or something I would be there without a thought!! Not that the 792p is anything to laugh at. Awsome machine! Someone take video.

That would be really exciting Dave. You never know what you might see in Mr. Engman's engine shop, which we will tour.

I love doing these events. It's so much fun.
