Well, I'm back. I will see the Fayetteville crew on time at 11.

Had a great time, guys. It was good meeting you all.

I had a great time as well. The food was fantastic. Hopefully we can get together more often, and eventually have better attendance.

Gary, great drive route. Amazingly, the macaroni salad was still cool when I got home. Didn't mean to push you on that ramp, the tire barking was unintentional.

jph4219, I have your macaroni salad, bowl, and big spoon (not sure what it's official name is). I'll bring it to the next meet so you can pick it up (minus the macaroni salad.. it would probably be bad by that time :) ).

Time to get that beach meet together!

Yeah, the food was fantastic! A beach meet would be awesome!

^^ Very nice photos. Everytime I refresh there are more :).

Last few. I'm not sure whose car is whose, so I hope I didn't miss any. Sorry, but if you drove a Miata or a Neon there, I didn't take your picture. I also didn't get any shots of actual people... oh well.

Nice pics John! Oh and thank you for calling the SRT for what it is...A NEON!!! I like your setup...I'm putting on my Mazdaspeed kit now and the new exhaust will be here in less than a month and hopefully the rollcage and coilovers soon after that!!! And I'm trying to save for a Pettit SC!

:rofl: agreed!

My photo's are online. I'm too lazy to link any of them here so click and be merry!

Those are pretty good shots. I don't know if you intentionally took so many pictures of the bathroom and bathroom signs, but it had me laughing. :lol:

Great pics Bobby! Keri liked her pic!!! HAHA

This is being cross posted from the 7 forum from us RRDI regulars, as written by Phil (darktritium):

Hey guys,

I'd like to first off say that we (the regulars) really appreciate the effort made by everyone to make it out to our grill out. I'd also like to say that the effort put into making the dishes and desserts is greatly appreciated; everything was so nice!

I apologize if we didn't seem very open to you guys; I don't know why that happened. I'm sorry if you guys felt a bit out of place and I hope that next time we'll mingle more. We'll have the grill out planned a little better (i.e. if someone is bringing hot dogs, he/she should also bring buns for the hot dogs too.)

For the next gathering like this, we will have a boombox (a REAL one) for music and maybe some other things.

Your effort made to come to our event was greatly appreciated. We hope to see you at our next event!

Sincerely,

RRDI

You were pushing me, I always like hauling ass(as as much as an auto can) plus wanted to blow by that SUV who thought he could gun it also.

The ride was pretty sweet, even found a couple good roads to remember when designing r^3( the Raleigh Rally Route).

Awesome pics NoTears316 and MrThunderClease

Haha yeah they were intentional. Nic's wife Keri asked "Are there any bathrooms at this place?" on Saturday night and I originally replied that she would have to "go in the woods and be sure not to grab the poison ivy". I felt obligated to take a bunch of photo's of the bathroom anyway :lol:.

Only slightly :). r^3, nice. Those were some good roads today.

Good post. Also, if we do it at Falls Lake again someone should go early and scout out an unreserved spot and then relay the information to the people at the gate so they can direct the people coming in. That way, less people will be lost.

FYI: Here is the Web Site for the Raleigh Group, even though I think we need to change it tosomething more expansive that Raleigh Rotary Drive In:)

So everyone here will get the joke, this is the 'pac man ghost' map we were talking about today.

That's awesome! We could have used that map on our way back to Fayetteville. I'm not pointing any fingers, but after a u-turn and taking a wrong exit... I took the lead. :rollingla

^^ well there were only two of you heading back that way sooo I think we know where that finger wasn't pointed.... :rollingla

To fill the gap even more, here is the 'oh-noes! you can't park there' killboy photo (click me).

Great pics! Had fun guys, great to meet all the 8 crowd! Can't wait to do it again and thanks for everyone coming.


Bobby, oh noes is right!!! He lost it on that video I posted a page back. Was trying to follow the camera car when we made that run. Happened right after the lookout.

to something like.... Piston engine goes boing, boing, boing, boing.
Mazda engine goes Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
