Yea I do.

Awesome. I bet we will meet again. I try to drive to Fort Smith on the weekends to visit my brother.

Well hit me up

I'd be interested in meeting up sometime. I just bought an RX8 a couple of weeks ago. I've been wanting one for a long time and after breaking up with the bf (I'm a girl, just to clarify :) ), it seemed like the perfect time.

Of course I'm already dealing with a CEL, a temp control/thermostat issue and will be in need of new tires soon, but once I get these things sorted out, I'll be up for a drive.

Doesn't sound like anyone is this far north, but I'm in the Bella Vista/Bentonville area. Stock, white GT.

I think a lot of us drive up that way more than I had originally imagined. 540 is a beautiful drive in the fall.

540 is boring though. 71 is better and we can stop at Artist Point! Impulse8 I work in Farmington so just let me know if you wanna meet up an ride!

71 is a blast until you hit Greenland. Then it's 35 mph limits and stoplights. I went through 71 on Friday and got stuck behind a fleet of rvs headed to the lake. The tunnel is the best part of 540 imo.

Yea I never go through Greenland. I use 540 and get off on the West Fork exit...

Is there a decent round trip where we would end up back in Fayetteville and maybe grab something to eat or drink afterwards?

What/where is Artist Point?

Oh for sure. We could go down 71 to Alma while it is still light outside and then head back up 540 to Faytown bc it's is a safer drive at night and then could eat anywhere! Artist Point is between Winslow and Mountainburg and is one if the best views in Arkansas!

That sounds good to me!

Ok guys and gal ;) Myself and Jen (Impulse8) are meeting at the big truck stop at the Greenland exit on I-540 on Friday at around 6ish. We are gonna ride south in Hwy 71 because that road is MUCH safer during the day. We are then gonna come back north on I-540 from Alma to Fayetteville and have dinner and a drink! Anyone and everyone with an RX-7 or RX-8 are welcomed to join!

Sounds good to me. I will see what I can do.

Wow, this thread blew up! :)

Is there any set date/time for a big meet?

Idk how big the meet is going to be right now but we are meeting at the truck stop in Greenland on 540 on Friday at 6. There are 3 in so far I believe

I just now saw this, and my brother-in-law live in Hot Springs and we travel up there every few months to visit usually. I wouldn't mind hitting up a meet if something were going on and we could make it to the area.

I'm might be on for Friday. I have a few things to do that after noon. What exit number is Greenland?

Exit 58.

Can I get a headcount of who is gonna be there???

I am going to be there. I have to adjust all my levels, and I believe I should be fine. My 8 is smelling strongly of antifreeze.

Edit: aaaaand, that should have been taken more seriously beforehand. :P

I'll be there!

-Jen

Sorry I couldn't make it. :(
I guess I am more interested in the original "big" meet, if you will. I don't have an RX8, but I do have a 93' RX7. I'm in Dallas, but would love to have a meet up there. The next time I know for sure I will be up there is for Thanksgiving, as I have family that lives up there. I hope something can be worked out, I'd love to meet up with you rotorheads! :-)

Well I'm sure we can figure something out!

I want to do more meets. This last one was just a convenient drive for the hell of it. It was perfect timing. The weather was great and the trees are just the right shade of everything. I saw a couple of RX8's and several RX7's on the drive so I am sure we might have snagged a few people's attention.

We can't start a movement standing in place.

Awesome! I wish I could have made it out Friday. I had an employee quit Thursdays out of the blue and had to cover his shift on Friday. Are we thinking weekly or monthly meets? I usually, unless something ridiculous comes up, always have Friday off. So if we plan a meet again soon Fridays are perfect days for me. I'll update my thread on RX7club as well with whatever the details end up being. Also, did anyone take any pics?
