I know Andy and Jen took some pics. It was a great time and Friday evenings through the weekend are awesome for me. Once a month would be fun weather permitting!

Okay, I have official dates when I will be in Arkansas.

I leave here (Dallas) on either Tuesday night (20th), or the following Wednesday morning (21st), and I will be in town until Sunday.

Plan accordingly! :-)

I'm going to be in Michigan from the 19th-26th. But, nevertheless if the date for the next meet is in that week I'll still post updates to RX7club to help get more people.

Hello everyone! It seems like we need to get a meet in before Xmas! I have a few more people from rx7club that want to come to a meet. I'm think Saturday December 8th would be good. It should be a nice day according to the 10 day weather forecast. I'm thinking a mid afternoon meet. I've been looking at hwy12 through Beaver Lake for the next cruise. I've been through there before in my cougar and it's a nice drive with plenty of stopping points to see the lake. Let me know what you think!

Hey I know it isn't rotary, but would you be opposed to my wife an I tagging along in our grocery getter (info in sig). EDIT: can't figure out the sig thing, car is a 2005 Legacy GT Wagon, 5-spd, Stage III (BNR 18g turbo, AVO TMIC, 3" catless turbo back, built gearbox, etc)

The RX8 is, how you say, "hemmed up" right now and won't be ready for the 8th unless I can magically crap out an Optima Group 35 and new cat.

I don't have a problem with that at all!

Seeing as we have to go through Rogers to get to Beaver Lake I think the Promenade mall would be a good central easy to find place. As for the time I think 2:00-3:00 pm is optimum for meeting up, mainly because it's getting dark around 5:00. That way we can have plenty of daylight to drive back into town from the lake.

There was a really nice 40th anniversary edition 6speed at Superior Mazda about 2 weeks ago. I'm not sure if it's still there but it was mint.

I'll be there in the Subaru with the wife. 2pm @ Promenade Mall sounds good.

Might I suggest taking a screenshot of Google Maps, then posting it up here with the exact location, that way folks don't get confused?

For my $0.02, I'd recommend the parking lot in front of Target, as seen in the attached pic. It's far enough away from the main parking lot that we'll all be able to park adjacent to one another, it's visible from the road so perhaps someone driving by could see it and stop in, it has readily available access to a few stoplight-controlled avenues of approach (a big deal in Northwest Arkansas, as nobody here seems to know how a 4 way stop is supposed to work), and there aren't any soccer moms careening through the lot in their Escalades jockeying for a spot in front of Pottery Barn like at the actual mall across the street.

Anyone know if the parking lot in the picture is still reliably as empty as it appears in the satellite shot?

That's a great idea! I'm pretty sure it's still setup the same. So 2 o'clock at the Target in Rogers!

Awesome! We're meeting at the Target across from the Promenade mall in Rogers today at 2pm. McKennaR posted an aerial view of the lot the meet will be at. It's fairly easy to find.

My car is in an awkward half painted stage. I would actually feel embarrassed if I brought it to a car meet.

No need to feel embarrassed! I drive a beat up, mostly red 90 RX7 that needs alot of cosmetic work. Come out and have some fun man!
