I would like to thank the following.....



I would like to thank all the sponsors who helped out with this event. Without their support, this event could not of happened. Please before you make your purchase next time, consider those who helped out vs. those who ignored this event.

I would like to Thank personally, Billy from Re-Speed! Not only he sponsored DGRR event, he also donated over $1000 worth of parts to give away. He also helped me out greatly by becoming a webmaster of DGRR website.

Ray Crowe from Malloy Mazda who also sponsored the event and donated $250 worth of gift certificates.

Kevin Landers from Rotaryressurection He has supported this event for past 2 events and attended both events.. Unfortunately, I never really got a chance to talk to him as he's surrounded by people asking him about rotary engines.. Maybe next time Kevin! And thanks again for your support!

Bryan from BNR Supercars who sponsored EVERY year and was unable to attend every year due to work schedule.

Jason from RX7stores - Jason has given the MOST amount of donation over past 3 year than ANY other sponsors!!!

David from Speed4Sale - If you know someone who's looking for an import sports car (and some domestic sports car) check out Speedforsale.com. They specialize in hard to find imports.

Dan from Atkins Rotary - For the first time, Sponsor contacted me and wanted to help! I greatly appreciate you seeing this event and wanting to help out! Thank you!

Brian from Trussville Mazda - They are my local Mazda dealership and have gone out of their way to help me with this event and one of the best car dealership I've dealt with! If you are in SE and looking to buy a New Mazda! I highly recommend checking out Trussville! Its also one of the largest Mazda Dealership in SE!!!

Ramy from FDNewbie Imports - Ramy, Ramy, Ramy..... What can I say about Ramy. Well, I've known Ramy for over 4 years. I met him when I attended DC/VA/MD Rotary get together back in 2002 or was it 2003... Ever since meeting him, we been good friends for years! Everytime I'm around his area, we go out to lunch and talk about rotary cars and such! Great guy and now great person to get RARE Japanese only parts! I know me and Rich (GoodfellaFD3S) bought our rare Spirit R seats from him.

Ken from Shine Auto - Unlike other 'knock' off body kit company.. They are AMAZING in quality. I should know as I been buying body kits for my FD's for YEARS!! For example their FEED bumpers.. I have the original bumper from Feed and Shine Autos are as good as the ones I have... maybe even better! Their quality is BY FAR the best I've seen! So, when you are looking for body kits, Don't waste your time looking at other companies.. Go with Shine Auto!!



I would also like to thank those who helped out at the event..

John (20b 3rd Gen) - For the past 3 years, he took 3 days off from his work and help me set up this event, and bringing up all our equipments and shirts. Without him, NO SHIRTs could be here!

Stephen (SPOautos) - Also for the past 3 years, he spent the days away from work and family to help me with this event. He's also the the guy I brain stormed about the event. Without Stephen and his support, this event would not of happened. I would also like to point out, Stephen is one of the BIGGEST rotorhead I know. He's the reason how I met all the rotorheads down here and made me feel welcomed when I moved from OH to AL. Thanks Stephen!

Jason (RoughRex) - I really REALLY like to thank Jason for spending over 3+ hours printing name tags for us. I don't know if any of you seen how big the printer was.. but that thing isn't small and quite of a hassel to carry it around in a small car like RX7.. Thank you again!

Holly (ROTORX7Holly) - Holly is one of the NICEST person I know! She helped out with DGRR for past 3 years and also brought many items for me to give out. Last year, she helped out by doing all the name tags and passing out T-shirts.. This year, she helped out by getting all the waivers signed. Again, Thank you Holly for your help!!!

Luke (?? from OHIO) - I met Luke toward the end... But what Stephen tells me, you just showed up and asked to help out passing out the shirts. Stephen and I would like to thank you for your help! He spent 2+ hours passing out T-shirts! Thank you!

TC (ts7) - Without you, I think some people would had issue with parking their cars. Thank you so much for helping out with this event...

Jeremy (PureMdMa) - What can I say about Jeremy... NOthing.. He's the laziest man I know.. J/K! Jeremy designed the shirts, Took videos of the event, took pictures, moved boxes and made arrans, and now he and I will spend days and days trying to make the event DVD. I really owe one to Jer for his hard work!

Clint (Golferfreddie) - Clint is my local contact and fellow FD owner who contacted LEOs and Fontana Village. Without Clint, I couldn't of set up the Banquet nor would hard to get Blunt County officers to come out to the event.. FYI, we been trying to get Blunt county to come out to give us a short speech for past 3 years! And this year was the first!

All the Group Leaders... (Chris - SPICcnmGT, Mike - Trexthe3rd, Ryan - poss)I don't remember all your names.. But thank you so much for waking up early and going out to the Dragon. Luckily there were Zero accident involving our group (Miata that somehow joined the first group was NOT part of our event).

Darryl from www.Killboy.com - Who came out and spoke to us EVERY YEAR! Please remember that he's spending his valuable time away from taking pics to come speak to us! SO, being said, BUY some pictures from him! This is how he makes his living!

Officer Allen from Blunt County - I would like to thank him for taking his time and coming out!

Rob Seneker - What can I say about Rob... Rob is a Legend around the Dragon! I know some of you didn't know who he was.. But He's the MAN! He's a pro bike rider and fellow FD owner. The Legend says, he has the fastest time on the Dragon...
I was talking to him and he said he will DEFINITELY help out next year! Maybe even take some of the Group Leaders out with him and point out certain parts about the Dragon..

And Finally, All of you Rotorheads who spent your weekend driving up to this event. Without the attendees, this event would not exist. So, thank you for attending and hopefully NEXT year will be better than this year!

Thank you!

Thanks to all the organizers for the best dragon experience I've had thus far (3 dragon trips under my belt)! I'm looking forward to that Mazdasport magazine spread!

I've said it already over on the rx7club but it doesn't hurt to reiterate it over here (plus, some of the 8 owners might not make it over there very often to see my posts).
