there was about 12???? i think there might be more than 12 in the tristate area. that was a pretty sad showing for them since there were about 40-50 FD's and we know how reliable they are !!!!

you guys better show up next year!

 

Hi, the rx-8 tri state club is not here right now, but if you leave a message at the sound of the tone, we will get right back to you...beep!...

:-)

 

overslept, sorry.
next year!

Vosko, I was going to go, but I can only afford one trip to NJ....I'll be at E-town for this month's DOW.....

 

am i retarded? what does that mean?

i just thought more people would be excite to be at the largest all rotary gathering on the east coast and possibly the entire USA. but i guess was wrong rx8 owners don't care

 

That's pretty rude, don't you think? There are a lot more 7 owners out there than 8 owners, and not everyone has time to gather up all their stuff and trudge up there. I was waiting for the 2nd annual East Coast RX-8 meet(since canceled- hopefully we'l find somewhere else to have it), since I can't afford to go to more than one or two events a year unless I don't want a real vacation.

 

Besides, it's only a "car" meet... why does vosko have to be rude about it. I mean, there are OTHER things in life than to meet up with other people that drive the same car. It's nice and all... but life does not revolve around just Rotary.

 

 

hehehe love the east coast, im glad im on the west coast. /me sends some old skule chill pills vosko's way :D

 

i was in vegas this weekend

 

we were at rotorfest. it was alright

 

Vosko, I think Irish was just kidding about our club being underrepresented, and he was pretending to be avoiding the "phone call" asking why. Several of us planned on coming and backed out at the last moment, due to whatever. I will speak for Irish when I say that we wanted to have a bigger presence than we did. Like I said on the 7club, "I hope to make it next year". Maybe with both cars finally.

 

damn i was planning on going... i thought it was the end of july, not the end of june

 

a couple of us from the tristate rx8 club made it
i did expect a bigger rx8 turnout , but in time.

p.s i got toasted forgot my sun tan lotion.

 

Vosko, yes, I think you took my 'irish' humor alittle personal. We care, we care alot, but there are indeed many other events out there that are just as good ( not knocking Rotorfest since we helped advertise the event on our site ). Perhaps RX-8 owners were not ready to show their RX-8s due to lack of modifications or plain and simple ' other responsibilities' came first . Next year I am confident more will be seen....give it time..

All the best

I was another one that was "hoping" to go, but I was out of town during the weekend.

 

I was there, and I was surprised how few 8's did turn out. I think what Irish said about most of us not having any significant mods probably stopped some people from going, but it shouldn't. Really, the Acosta guys were the only ones with a seriously modded 8 but we all knew what they had beforehand anyway. Hopefully there will be another meet next year, apparently some brain surgeons did some stupid crap and Jay (organiser) is pretty upset.

 

What happened Horde?

 

Irish, go over to the NE section of the rx7club and see the multiple threads about rotorfest. The posts are just about as close to internet fistfighting as you can get. Someone messed up a bathroom, someone dialed 911 on a pay phone, and burnouts were done. Real immature shi* going on in the threads as well. It is definitely enough to make me think twice about organizing any event big enough to have to sign or pay for beforehand (which I was hoping we get big enough to do someday).

 

my car was in the shop ... was about to go tho ...

 

Sense-
they get rough over there! I read those threads and I was starting to get scared for my life...
and you 7's are all buddies, right?

 

I just got done reading the seven forum, and man, I am shocked with the goings on there. Dont think I have ever seen/heard such a thing. It honestly has made me also think twice about holding future events - but saying this, we can learn from the experience and make sure that next time more cautions are made. Part of me really regreted not making Rotorfest, but after reading everything, I am now not too sure...

well regardless of what went on, i did take pics so you guys can check them out here.

Irish and Affenage, I think we can learn from these unfortunate incidents (and flame wars that come about as close to fist fights as can be) and avoid them in the future. I think we still can work with our brethren in the earlier rotaries, we will just need to stay aware and alert in our meets that include both groups (at least until peace is declared amongst several different parties) and post expectations. Although fist fights may be entertaining, I don't want anyone bumping into my cars and denting them. J/K of course.

 

Great pics Horde! Polak is in them all..:-)

Agreed Senseny..it will all die down eventually, staying alert might be a good thing :-)
