Raleigh Rotary Drive-Ins for October
 

The RRDI will be busy in October. We have the Drive-Ins scheduled for the 2nd and 4th Saturdays, same time and same location.

To kick off the month we're doing the "Rotary Rendezvous at the Zoo" drive on Sunday, October 2 leaving from the Caribou Coffee shop at Briar's Creek by 8:30 AM and meeting other rotary owners form across the state in Asheboro between 11:00 and 11:30 for an early lunch. We'll then drive out and spend the remainder of the day at the NC Zoological Park. The Zoo closes at 5:30 PM and that will give everyone plenty of time to enjoy a nice backroad drive home.

On the following Saturday, Oct 8, Bryan of RotorSports Racing reports that they have gotten their 20B RX7 tuned and turning out 530 rwHP at 11 psi of boost. He asked if they could bring it to Raleigh next month for an RRDI. I told him of course and we'd be thrilled. I invited him over for the 2nd Saturday meet but will have to wait to see what their schedule is like.

I'll let you know more as I hear back from Bryan.

On that Saturday morning, we're planning a trip up to Virginia Int'l Raceway, just north of Roxboro or about a 90 minute drive from Raleigh, for the Rolex Cup Race. The Speedsource RX8 Mazda racing team will be competing in this national road racing series stop at VIR. Check out VIR's website for all the details and ticket prices.

Of course we'll follow all this up with a 4th Saturday drive-in on October 22 to round out the months rotary calendar. Come join the fun.

:wiggle: we should have the 2nd meet at the fair! The NC State fair will be here from October 14-23.

That is a good idea, see how many people want to go. You might get some guys from other parts of the state to come in to Raleigh and bring their rotaries along. Y'all could go to the fair during the day, we could all meet and eat somewhere, the drive back out there for the fireworks. They still have a fireworks show when the fair closes each night? Go for it Perky Girl.

Sounds like a blast! Definitely will be at the next meet. Work kept me from is last week :( but I will definitely show up in Oct.

We're getting together again this coming Saturday at the Char Grill on Strickland Road in nawth Rawley. The Drive-Ins start around 6:30 pm and goes until there is only one guy left standing in the parking lot, alone, admiring his rotary powered miracle. He then casually gets in his car and peels outa the parking lot upset that the evening ended too soon.

Cheer up Greg we'll have another in a couple of weeks.
