I just went thru all 157+ pages of this thread to check out anyone who has attended a drive-in or posted with the intentions of making it to one. I got 26 posts from rotartians who should know about the GRR and sent each one a PM. With the regular attenders and regular posters we have about 40 people who should know about the rally no to mention those who will hear about it by word of mouth. 25 in attendance should be a reasonable expectation for turnout.

 

now THAT's comittment!

 

^I second that. Bert, has been great at keeping our group organized. I'll take this opportunity to thank him for all his efforts. If not for him we'd probably still be wondering who all the other RX7 drivers in the area are and trying to flag each other down. THANKS, Bert.

 

I still do this!! Damn Rx-7 owners.....

 

Oh...and I just got back from the liquor store... If no one has anything to do tomarrow night...Come on out to my place....its gonna be fun!!!!! Pm me for directions
WE'RE GONNA GO STREAKING THROUGH THE QUADD!!!! COME ON EVERYBODY!!

 

Ryan, you mentioned that the guys from Jacksonville and Cherry Point should come up on Friday night and party. Rotofire posted on the GRR thread that they had planned on driving up Friday so can you take charge of the Friday night entertainment? Bring the banana girl along and find them something to do in Raleigh? Let all us know if you can and I'm sure some of us will want to come along.

 

thanks but it has been well worth the effort. Now let's all show commitment and turnout for this first event and have a good time sharing fellowship that Saturday, enjoying the fall in NC, and being around some great cars and even better owners.

It has been a pleasure and real joy meeting everyone and making this happen. We need to keep the commitment and remember the Marine motto, Semper Fidelis. Hope I didn't insult any of our Marine rotarians by using their motto, it just seems to describe the attitude that all members of any group must have if they are to succeed as a group.

Ok, I'm going to TRY and make it out. Asked for the day off.

I just hope my FC will make it! hah. Anybody in the raleigh area not have a ride? If I can make it in time, Ill try my best to make it, but unfortunately I won't be able to give anything definitive until say... 11/6 (coming saturday)

If I get the FC running, and it lasts for a week, I'll be there just about no matter what.

Bert, how many people (rotor guys/cars) are expected so far?

 

WOOT! 1000TH POST! I figured I'd share it with the home team (not that it is that exciting). Hope all is going well for everyone. Look forward to seeing everyone at the GRR.

 

Damn! That means I have to only make 996 more after this one! I agree with you on the GRR meet. Only been to two of the Saturday night meets since I found out about this place in Sept. but its been great meeting all the people and seeing the cars, even those "funny ones with all the moving parts".

Greg

 

We're glad to have you, Greg. You have a beautiful ride. I wish I could get a hold of one that clean.

The post count really just means I spend way too much time on the forum.

hey i'm new to this site i've had my fd for about 2 months now and would love to come out to the grr. i was just wonderin about how late is is going to run. and i deffinately need directions from goldsboro.

 

Probably until dave gets sick of us It starts at 2:00pm sooo...I dont know I know after our "regular" meets we head out to capital blvd...and hang out there until....the ricers start acting stupid...or....the cops make us leave....or...until we get tired

 

Welcome fellow rotarian, you now own one of the 7 wonders of the world. Check out the driving directions posted on the GRR thread, https://www.rx7club.com/forum/showth...4&page=5&pp=10

You can stay as long as you're having fun.

 

bigboz. are you gonna come up highway 70? if so I live in Clayton. depending on what time you would be heading through maybe we can caravan up to Bahama.

 

This will be interesting, will an FD owner caravan with a Camry? I thought FD owners had better tastes than that. Oh, maybe he wasn't supposed to know your FD is broke, Sorry.

 

Ok, so she isn't "the" banana girl but....

 

hey jmunilla what time are u plannin on rollin. cause if u give me a time and a place we could meet i will meet u there. and by the way where do i send the money too. my roommate and i will be goin?

 

\

Glad to hear you're coming, you can send a check or cash to:

Bert Riggsbee
16124 New Light Rd
Wake Forest, NC 27587

I'll send you a receipt and ticket by email if you will send along your email address, otherwise I'll have both waiting on you at the GRR on the 13th. Don't be surprised or shocked if Josh starts crying when you pull up, his beautiful black FD is broken and he is doing a bunch of mods, even an engine rebuild this winter on her, kinda like nip/tuck. Just let him take some time and compose himself, he'll be OK.

Bert

 

not the same at all, but nice try and thanks for thinking of us.

 

one more week! whoopaty whoop!

Sounds like i'm going to be an FB in a world of FDs, let's just say it...we all know who's the cheap one now

 

There might be a few tears, but I will be ok. I will be inconsolable for about 10 minutes.

Actually, if all goes well I will be picking up another Fiero for this weekend. Maybe I can keep up with you guys on some of the back roads. Hopefully, BigBoz won't be too embarrassed. if he is i will trail behind and pretend like I am not with him.

BigBoz, I was planning on heading out around one-ish. Are you familiar with Clayton? If so we can meet at the Bojangles. Its about an hour from Clayton to Bahama.

 

Anybody feel free, to meet at my house and follow me over to Dave's place. I should be right on the way for anybody coming from west 70 or 40. PM me if you want directions to my place...

Steve

 

Steve's place is easy to find. I might take you up on that myself.

 

Steve,

I think I'll caravan with you, and I'm pretty sure Jeremy and Rick will probably come too. I talked to Will and he's interested in coming but I don't think he'll take his car.
