Bert, I made contact with a gentleman by the name of Rick Roszko with a nicely modified FD. Hopefully, he will be making the club drive-in this weekend. Just wanted to give you guys the heads up, as he is not a member of the board. I also gave him your email address, since I will not be there this weekend. Take care and I'll see you on the 26th.

I got his email this morning and I'm looking forward to meeting him. He works with Nortel and Sprint does a lot of Nortel business. It will be good to meet him and have a new face and new car in our midst.

Thanks for recruiting.

June 12 Drive-In

Right off, no I didn't get any pics of last nights drive-in, I forgot my camera, but next meet promises to be even better.

I agree with Dave, it was great to have several new cars and drivers show up last night. We had a total of 6 cars and 8 new people at the drive-in. Steve was there with a white Turbo II. Dave and his friend, I didn't catch his name, found their way to the Char Grill in a RED, yes, I said RED, FC. Taylor arrived in his black FD and Rick and his son drove in, in a beautiful Montego Blue FD. That 's the way it stayed until about 9:00 pm when a comp yellow R1 showed up. Turns out that the driver didn't know a thing about the meeting, he was just stopping in to get a milk shake and noticed all the 7s. We got him some information and he was glad to know that there was such group in Raleigh. Did anyone catch his name?

It turns out that Dave and his friend, I apologize for not getting his name down. Have a few FCs and are wanting to upgrade one from NA to a Turbo config. I'm gonna have to drive out to Bahama just for the roads. (Dave, please send me your buddy's name) Dave also mentioned that he was taking a car up to Piedmont Drag Strip on Thursday if anyone else is interested just drop him a comment or PM him, NCTII87 on this forum.

Also interesting, Rick and his son, rebuilt their rotary after it blew and had never worked on a rotary before. A very impressive feat. It sounds like he now has a lot of experience that he is more than willing to share with us. He'll be a great resource for the FD guys and probably the FCs as well.

In summary we had 3 FDs and 3 FCs at this week's drive-in. Taylor and I were the only repeat members, this was the first meeting for the other 4 cars.

In addition to admiring each others engines and cars, we discussed the Oct. 2-3 events at VIR and the possiblilty of going up there in October for the races on the first Saturday and Sunday in October. I'll be driving up next weekend to find the course and see what the Mazda Driving Assoc. School is like. I passed out some additional Raleigh Drive-In flyers and some wallet sized business cards I made up for the group. I also handed out some info on the Mazda Driving School, although its now full with no open spaces. It sounds like a very good event.

Most of the guys that drove in last night said they'd be back on the 26th, so if we can get Josh, Blacksupra, Dave Visago on the 26th we'll have a very good, and impressive rotary showing, and some of the guys new this week said they new other owners that they'll introduce the club to.

Looking forward to the next meeting.

Bert

see you there
Thanks for the directions, I live in north Wake County just a few miles from Hwy 96 and have taken it over to Oxford and I-85 several times so that is probably the easiest way for me to drive. I'll see you at VIR, are you participating in the driving school?

That sounds great. I am sorry I missed it, even though I did have a good time at HIN. I look forward to meeting all the new people and seeing all the old on the 26th.

Missed you last night, it was a great meet. Sounds like you had a full schedule, anyway you can only do so much. How did you like VIR, I hope to be seeing it for the first time next weekend.
