Let's have a cookout on July 8th, which is also an RRDI meet day.

Availability of picnic shelters at Falls Lake are filling pretty fast. I can reserve a shelter for $60 for an 8-table shelter.

This allows for us to meet in a nice environment, and fellowship as a group.

All Rotorheads are welcome.

Each person will need to bring something, such as napkins, plates, condiments, hamburgers, hot dogs, buns, beverages, etc.

Let's start the list: (copy/paste and add yourself and your item you will be able to bring)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1. Christina (PerkyStina) - napkins & plates
2. David (PhoenixFlame) - ice in a cooler

 

I think everyone is going to head to the Gar-B-Q on the 8th.

 

Crap, I forgot that was the same weekend.

Bump my cookout to July 1st?

There's a big sailboat show in Beaufort, NC the weekend of the 1st... we could make a road trip down there, instead? It actually looks kinda cool.

August 12th is the MSCCNC RBQ at VIR this year. July doesn't look like there is much going on so maybe something that month would work.

 

Still on for July 8th, but we may need to alter our plans a little bit, if the tables are all reserved. This will only be a small event, so I don't want Gar-B-Q people to think I'm competition.

I don't think any of the RRDI guys are gonna be able to make it to Gar-B-Q, since that's a long drive, and most of us have mods to do before heading towards the TN boarder again.

Let me know, guys.

I know y'all have been discussing a cookout for a while now.

 

83 freakin views, and only 5 responses, most of which were my own.

you guys even interested, or what??

 

sorry, you should make the haul out here for the Gar-B-Q.

 

yeah but it's a saturday so.....i have to work most likely. sucks to be me. i can allways show up late!

 

If I had the $$... but my family and I are going on vacation the following weekend.

I sooo wanna be there, though. My boyfriend hasn't rode the Dragon yet.

 

im interested in this... but i dunno how many others are

 

3. Bert - Hamburgers and Buns

Come on guys, this will be David's first weekend as a civilian in 6 years. We need to show him what he's been missing. Bring a door prize for the drawing. We need to jump on this now. Need to make sure everyone that has been to a Drive-In knows about this. We'll do this at Beaver Dam Recreation area and will reserve a shelter. Greg, if you can make it we'll cook late.

 

I'll be there but after work sometime around 6pm. Don't hold up the food on my account! Feed those peeps! If you need something picked up on the way out let me know before I leave the shop (828-4888).

 

Im in.

1. Christina (PerkyStina) - napkins & plates
2. David (PhoenixFlame) - ice in a cooler
3. Bert - Hamburgers and Buns
4. Bobby - Cups and Chips.

 

What time are we getting down. I added an event for this to the RRDI webby's event calendar. I'll post some pictures of last years cookout when I get home to bring back some memories for everyone haha.

 

Sorry I can't make it...I'll be in Florida TDY!!!

 

When are we having it? Is it going to be this (July 1) Saturday or the 8th? If so, I can get some Nathan's hotdogs and buns.

 

UPDATE

We are going to Nopi in Rockingham, NC, INSTEAD of the picnic at the lake.

This year, the website says there is supposed to be a drift show.

Saturday, July 8th is the day we are going.

I'm not sure what time the gates open, so if we want to leave Raleigh around 8:30 or 9, that will give us plenty of time to get down there and get parked, etc.

It will take us a little less than an hour and a half to get there. Last year, we had a caravan, and we had a blast.

If you can find somewhere in your quest online for a specific time that the festivities begin, then we can base our depature time around that.

We will leave from Char-Grill, since that is a familiar place for everyone.

We will be cooking out there. Please volunteer for what you intend to bring. Food and concessions was expensive last year... plan on bringing a water bottle!!

Continue the items list for the cookout as started in the previous posts.

Call my cell or PM me if you need more info, or if you have any suggestions.

See you there!

 

I'm in. I dont think they will be drifting at the rock. On the main site it says NOPI DRIFT SHOW!!!!!@!@!@!, but here the rock is not on the list.

Gates open at 8 for contestants. Show times are 10am-11pm on saturday.

 

ok... no drifting for me, either...


...as for our departure time, 8:30AM at Char-Grill.

At this part of the site, The first of the 3 .gif files on the left says, "Nopi Drift Show," then those words move down, and it says July 8th and 9th, Rockingham Dragway, Rockingham, NC.

I can't freakin WAIT!! I've never been to a drift show.

 

Yes, that was what I was referring to here but now that I read it again its not all that clear hahaha.
Maybe they just didn't update the other page

 

eh... either way, it's gonna be freakin fun.

Also, the Rockingham show is being REALLY promo'ed... cuz they even had an advertisement on myspace.

Check out their myspace profile... even if you don't have a myspace.

Y'all print out the $5 off coupon, and bring it with you.

Food list:
1. Christina (PerkyStina) - napkins & plates
2. David (PhoenixFlame) - ice in a cooler
3. Bert - Hamburgers and Buns
4. Bobby - Cups and Chips.

 

chicka, chicka... (anyone remember that cartoon network comercial from way back when?!)

 

You lost me.

Usually I remember stuff... but yeah.

 

haha thats from an old cartoonnetwork.com ad campain cartoon network used to air back in the day. They had a kid running around to their mascots (standing around in some yard?) going "chicka chicka" as if he were buying stuff online. I used it to refer to me printing out my $5 coupon.

Ok enough useless information about cartoon network.. back to NOPI!
