Hey all... we might be at the meet tonight, I am not sure yet. Depends on what all my dad needs us to help with at our house. David has to work tomorrow during the picnic, but I will try to come up there after the cable guy does his thing. He is supposed to come between 1-5 tomorrow, so we'll see how long that will take. Then you'll finally see us on here again. We don't have internet at the house yet, (hence the cable guy coming)... so we are DYING without teh forumz!!!!!

I miss all of you guys... hopefully we will be able to make it out there tonight. I look forward to catching up!

So I have to work until noon-ish tomorrow, and then gotta go home to wait on the Cable guy. Where are y'all going to be at Falls Lake, and how late do you think you will be out there? I want to be there SOOOOOOOOO bad!!

It's summer time, and the only summer-ish thing I have really done is turn the AC down so low at the house that it froze the component for a few minutes since it was like 100* the day I decided to start painting.

I'll have to find out if David's getting any sort of "deal" out of him, cuz our monthly rate for JUST cable internet is like $50! Ugh. With the TV/Internet combo, they wanted $100, so we decided to just stick to teh internetz.

Josue the poolboy has been hired, but we are still doing an immigration background check.

So, question...it's been a while since I've heard any mention of having a boat at the cook out, is Chris still bringing his boat and should be bring something to swim in? Are we possibly tubing too? Just a thought.

David talked to him last night, but I don't know if he mentioned anything about the picnic. I know Chris is really busy today getting some other stuff done. Looks like the day will be really fun. I hope the cable dude comes asap tomorrow so I can hurry up to the lake with you guys!

Is the plan still to meet at Sonic tonight? And is this the Sonic there on Atlantic, or is there another Sonic that I'm unaware of?

Not really too bad since there's the 'back straight' continued to use as runoff IF you know to bail out in time... the concrete barriers there are in a bad place... I've not had a chance to review the situation entirely, but it seems they my be more of a hazard than none there at all... and yes I am aware of the other part of the course on the other side... that's what I need to review further...

I took quite a few pics last year. Was pretty amazing what was out there.
No doubt...

Still the 2nd and 4th Saturday but we're looking at new locations. We'll be at the Sonic on Atlantic Ave tomorrow night.
I might... kinda hot for this OF... and I need to be getting sheet done, but will likely watch the races and get even further behind, on top of it looking like I've got to make the trip to VIR tomorrow (earlier than I'd like :) to get those wheels...


Speaking of getting on the track I should be at the Mazda Drivers one at VIR in Sept. You're doing that one right? If not I've got your list you're doing so we'll hook up somewhere along the way.
I've been trying, and they've been trying, to get me to one of their events for the past 1-1/2 years, but there's been a conflict or something... for instance I can't make the VIR-Grand because of the three day Tri-Z / THSCC event at RR (including instructor clinic) and I that's one I can't miss...

I do however intend to make the Sept. event so it's good to hear that's the one you're going to... it's not a good time either as there I've got the only possible (no guarantee) chance to do Rd. Atl. two weeks before, an SCCA event at The Rock the next week which I'd like to help support (they REALLY need it), then the following week a Chin event at Barber which I'm going to come hell or high water, followed two weeks later by the VIR - 3rd Annual IMSA RS/SCCA 2.5 Challenge Reunion Race, and then immediately by Tri-Z / THSCC at The Rock, then a whole three week break until the Chin three day event at The Glen, followed the next week w/ them at VIR... this is giving me a headache... ;)

Let's take any further to email... com via this thread is over loading my browser with too many tabs and other crap I got going on... and it's slooowwww as molasses since it's a zillion posts long long... ;)

Keep in touch Amigo... will try to get by the Sonic... why don't you give me call when you head over that way and rattle my cage... ph. no. to follow via email...

I was at the store trying to figure out what to bring, and I found the perfect item... COOKIES! Everyone loves cookies, and they will actually be better sitting in my car for an hour baking as I drive up there.

Stina: So you got just cable internet service? Dunno if it will work for you, but here if they give you a cable modem, they HAVE to send a basic cable signal to the same house. You just have to put in your own cable splitter, send it to the TV and YAY! Free cable with internet service.

Hey guys, I'm not familiar with Falls Lake at all. Will it be hard to find you guys up there? I'm trying to decide if I should go to Falls Lake or just meet with Greg and company at the shopping center.

The easiest thing would be to just meet with us at the shopping center.

Option B. I made this map so folk can make directions. Make a right at the blue dot (google will let you map directions to the blue dot) and as you can see, there aren't many places we can hide.

Sonic... free stuff... great meet... win.

We are in a bit of a transitional phase right now as we are going to be moving our meeting spot to different locations to get a feel for the environment. We are most definitely a friendly, democratic, eccentric group of people. No membership fees; only occasional harassment about lack of attending and self-generated guilt associated with lack of attendance. We welcome pissed-ons too so long as you aren't arrogant and have some respect in regards to parking arrangements. (I think that's pretty much self-explanatory. I think there are exceptions to THAT rule, but you have to at LEAST have been rotary-powered. Ahem...Darth Vader...)

That being said, we look forward to seeing you at our next meet, wherever the Hell that's going to be. (edit: THIS weekend is at Sonic)
Well, when I say black on black, I mean Brilliant black paint with black trim, but the interior is grey. Yeah, it really looked sketchy with the Extreme Dimensions front bumper, but this winter re-arranged that (and alot of my front end) so im back to stock front end (for the best) it's all flat black from the doors forward (as seen in the tiny avatar). She needs work inside and out, but untill I get some solid paychecks, well, you guys know how it goes. And harassment is always accepted, I used to drive a modded 1995 Trans Am, and i switched to a rotary after I blew that up, so you can imagine the harassment from the Rochester F-body Club lol (and then i proceeded to smoke every 3rd gen in the club..)

I'll be moving down there mid- July but will be mainly in NY untill July 22nd..

Might I mention, if any of you guys know some good bars....I turn 21 on July 21st...and start there July 23rd...

JK man. Glad you got home safe, I know that's a long ride.

Had fun tonight guys. I give that place a thumbs up. Especially if we're gonna get free drinks with food, coupons and our own little parking spot.

If this place doesn't already exist, we need to make it exist.
