Awesome!
Looks like it's just the 2 of us who are willing to drive their rotary across the country!

Is anyone interested in a caravan from the Birmingham, AL or surrounding area to SevenStock. If so post on the thread below.

I dont honestly care, i live about an hour an a half from the mountain and when the dates are established ima take leave from the army and ill be at the house preping the 7.

those of you who are willing to "cross country" their car to attend a event i have but one word for you guys. PURE PORNO!!!! i can't imagine being in the(transit time) FD more than 2 hours tops/max. After that it just becomes a pain in the rear and becomes a hate issue.

^^I hate to admit but I kind of agree.. after about 4-5 hours in an FD on a long straight interstate road, I want to kill myself... But if you are breaking it up every 2-3 hours and not in a hurry with several FD's, it quite fun :) Caravan part of road trip was one of my favorite part about going to an event..

I don't know, I did the 1K+ trek to sevenstock with Jeese okay. Again, I have super comfortable Evo2 Sparcos though, so eh. Next year maybe.

I'm also thinking about doing the road trip there with my FC for next year's event. Mike, we could roll together if you'd like! Nader, you too! I think I'll still be on spring break then :)

I've driven nonstop from here to norcal and back to socal in one day, no problem, in the FC! It has those Corbeau Forza's people love to hate too

Fontana Dam
 
I think Fontana would be more suitable for our event, because all of us second and first gens get jammed over into the gravel pit at Nantahala and very few people venture over there and there are some pretty nice cars that people want to be seen too, even if its not the most shiny. Also the event is growing and Nantahala just doesn't have the room to hold us all.

Never been
 
I would love to hit a good rotary rally thats close by and thats close enough for me

FDSeoul 08-07-2009 04:09 PM

WoW, I would consider being a co-pilot for the journey rather than taking my own ride to the event. I think i would be more effective in offering my co-pilot service for this type of a road trip.

I'll be doing a photoblog of the whole cross country trip...I just have to decide whether or not I'll be driving the FD or the 10thAE...

Take the 10thAE, without a doubt and make the trip back with us up north ;) I'll make sure I get more time off so we can actually have some fun in the city, hit Boston, maybe even Maine??

This year was ridiculous,
Hey Shar, why don't you head back to NY with us
OK
Hey AJ, you should join too
OK

Maybe that's the great thing about shitty gas mileage? We were stopping every 210-230 miles to tank up, stretch, bitch about tickets, play musical cars, nap in Neatos honduh. The trip down though was just pure go. My fault for leaving 11 hours late I guess. Strait through from 1 in the morning to 5 the next night with a two hour stop for a nap and a shower. Soooooo looking forward to doing it again though. Best rotary gathering ever Phil. I don't care where you have it, (I've not experienced Fontana so I can't intelligently vote) I'm just looking forward to attending again.

Yeah Johnson, I have those seats too. I also have a bad back and a bionic knee and I had no problem driving it strait either. The passenger seat sits higher and farther forward when using Corbeau's mounts so maybe that's the problem? Whatever, you should def make that trip out with Nader and Mike.

Seems like there are three or four people making the trip from the west coast, or considering it. Musical cars helps, balls deep in a few others is fun, non-stop would be a bitch but doable with enough redbull and stripclub stops. Shit, by 5:30 the friday morning of DGRR I was on 44.5 hrs of no sleep to get the car done. It was awesome..... then I nodded off in my Corbeaus for 2 hrs why someone else drove it to the hotel..... DGRR was about the most fun I have had in a LONG time. Can't wait to do it again.

I'm a short bastard, so I fit in the corbeaus pretty nicely. Helmet clearance is a small issue though, but it has not really bothered me.

Yeah mike, you could co pilot if you want to... We could take turns driving. But it would be more bad-ass to have each of us in our own cars :)

funkspectrum 08-09-2009 04:55 PM

Mike. I'm planning on photoblogging the caravan. Want in on it?

Herblenny 08-09-2009 05:03 PM

Sweet!!

Also, for next year, I have a special guest for the event.. Hope the economy turns around so more vendors will help out with getting this new "guest" :)

For 7Stock, I'll be bringing few DGRR shirts to giveaway and also to sell ($10 each). If you are heading to 7stock, let me know and I'll see if I have your size and hold it for ya :)
