See you there

 

this sound so tempting but i wont know anyone if i go

 

Nobody ever does the first time they go anywhere. :D

We usually have 6 to 10 8's at most meetings as well as quite a few RX-7s too.

You got a long way to come if your coming from Raymondville though!

 

I might go.

 

yeah it 5 hour drive

 

I think I'll come out (it'll be my first meeting). Coming from work, it won't be so bad of a drive

 

ill TRY my best too yet to make it to a meet had the 8 for about a year now but will try my best this time work n gf permitting of course

 

Oh yeah! I live across the street from that restaurant! haha I'll be there... First time too.

I want to see that satin black 8 I've seen in past meet pictures since thats the paint I've always wanted on my 8. Is he a regular member of the club?

 

Yeah, pretty regular member. He comes to most meetings (I think we all miss one here or there). Good to see a few of you first timers coming out, don't be shy it's a laid back group and there aren't too many egos.

 

I am new to the rotary world.
Just got a new 09' RX8 so I will be there.
I am working on getting a track day setup at MSR or GrandSport down by the dog track.
Anyone interested PM me.

I will be bringing my 08' Shelby GT500KR and some other toys also.

Donnie

 

I'll almost most definitely be there!! It'll be fun for me to get back into the rotary world and meet a lot of you guys! I'll be coming down from Tyler, TX and my buddy with a 370Z is gonna tag along to come hang out

 

I may make it by, especially if someone wants the Mazdaspeed rear I'm selling, guys let me know!

bah.. unexpected family arrived early in the day... wasnt able to make it but i just drove by and saw a crowd there. I wish I could've stopped for a sec there.....

 

What was the deal guys? Only two 8's showed up last night! All the 7 owners were laughing at us

Plus some guy brought his Ferrari 355, that was worth seeing all by itself.

 

Of course they were laughing at us. However, they haven't seen us on the track yet!

 

I was hoping to come out but I had to visit my family and friends at the last moment.

I will try to make it to the next one with some of my friends.

 

Well it is finally done! I have reserved GSS for a track day on August 22nd.

The cost is going to be 3350 to include track, insurance, & ambulance.
Gonna limit it to about 20 cars as we don't want to much traffic.
Cost will be 250.00 per person.
If we get more participants then I will refund cash to everyone.
If we get less than expected/ bring cash or your checkbook.

No bitchin' about the price if you have to pony up more and I won't complain if I have to refund some back!

4. Long pants (no nylon workout pants) such as cotton or jeans for people driving street legal cars.
5. No passengers are allowed unless you are a licensed instructor. (insurance stipulation)

We have the track from 9am-5pm
Gate opens at 8am.
Mandatory Drivers meeting at 8:45 am
Gate closes at 6pm.


Some of the buildings were lost in the hurricane but they do have port-a-potties.
I suggest bringing some tailgating popup tents for shade and coolers with tons of water, etc.

For all you diehard Rotary fans; there will be rods and pistons on the track!
A few Porsche's, a Mini Cooper S, Shelby GT500, etc have already signed up!

Fill this out if you want to come have some fun!
