Nice, It would have not been much fun for us in our family car, it would just throw the whole rotary balance off. :P

I pulled a leaky pulsation damper this weekend. Does that count as an experience? I think fuel pooling on top of a rotary engine counts as an experience. LOL!

In all seriousness, its too bad the timing was off for us to drive up with yall. Glad to see it turned out well!
Onward to SEVENSTOCK!!!

Moua did your car sell?

Patrick, for sure Sevenstock and I'm going to be planning another trip in the future. It was too fun not to do again and plus I made some pretty cool friends.

I'll upload some of the highlights










And it wouldn't be a rotary meet without a car breaking down


...or two lol

But I don't see any pictures of tow trucks, so I take it those FCs kept chugging along?

The white one I had to leave on the bridge. He blew a coolant line an was towed off but other than that the few that broke down were Jerry rigged to keep going

If yall wanted to hit up Hanford, that Starbucks we met up at last time is a good open spot for chilling out. If we want grub the Sonic down the street is a slick place to park and show off the cars.

Starbucks as the initial meetup sounds good to me but sonic is a no go. not another sonic meet . What's the address anyways? We can get a list going

Sonics is good for us too. I believe that its a good way to have all the cars parked and organized. Besides after 8pm half priced shakes.

But whatever happens, we're down for the cause.

BTW what day???

Starbucks is at 240 North 12th Avenue. What happened at Sonic that makes it a no-go? Milkshake overload?

Popular vote should decide and looks like 2 to 1 right now, in favor of Sonic.

IF I were to go, I'd say Sonic; it's easier to have all the cars lined up and it's very well-lit. Who cares if it's been a meeting place before? It was obviously a well-liked spot if it's being suggested again.

When most groups have monthly/bi-monthly/semi-annual/annual meets, they're most always in the same location so it's easy for people to find it time and time again, or to invite others; "Hey, we're meeting in two weeks at such-n-such at 7pm. Hope to see you there!" Make it a regular thing at a consistent location and more people will attend. As long as people aren't doing burnouts or donuts or stupid crap, then business owners and local PD's don't generally have an issue with it. I'm not new to the car scene at all, I just don't have the time to organize stuff like I used to when I lived back East.

IMO, pick one place in each city to hold the meetups each month, and cycle through those on a set schedule or basis. It's a group meetup/get together, not a dinner date. You don't see 7-Stock changing location every year (except this year due to unforseen circumstances). Visalia's A&W Cruise Night is another example...they're ALWAYS at A&W, and everyone knows it.

Whether I do go or not, depends on many factors (2 jobs, Heather's 2 jobs, a kid, courts, etc.), so I don't commit.

I don't think he was bantering, merely posting his opinion, Which is hilarious and true at the same time.

Yes, opinion. It's something I've been thinking for a while, seemed like an opportune time to post it.
