Holy crap! If it is in October, I might be able to make it, in the RX-8 as well!

I plan to install a new engine this summer, so it will be broken in by then, instead of just broken.

I hope I can make it. If you have a fall event is there any way to get the grey shirts instead of white its too hard to wear white around anything I own

As of now sounds fine to me. What about having it at Fontana to make the dragon more accessible. :dunno:

That would be awesome. Earlier in OCT the better. Who's better than you Phil?

:smilielol5:

I want to have another one I will bring my fc this time I promise.

Hey Phil,
What about doing something like the "Speed4Sale" event or the Texas Supra event where 1 day was a track day at Talladega road course, 1 day a drag race at Steele and car show. Or add in a 60-130mph run or do an "Ultimate Street Car event" that might include an autocross and a 0-100-0mph event. I can get the device to clock those events. You could do them on the drag strip if it was rented. This way, no cops would get involved unless there was a little street action one night. This might be better suited for a smaller group! That do you think?

Id love to go in Oct be last thing i could make it to before i deploy again.

I may come. depending on a few things

I thought about this many times.. I thought Speed4Sale did a good job but seems like they don't allow rotaries anymore and they are more into GTRs. I also talked to Edgar about doing some sort of 1/4 mile event and he said he could bring some high HP rotary guys...

Also, Zoomfest is in July for track so I'll try to check on it after zoomfest...

Can we take a quick vote as how many people would be interested in something like what Speed4Sale used to have?? track day, drag racing, and car show?? I could also work with local SCCA and see if we could do AutoX with local guys.. so schedule will be:

Friday - TGPR track day
Saturday - 1/4 mile drag
Sunday - AutoX

You couldn't keep me away.

Thats funny as me an Ernie were just talking about this. We like the way Phil is running these but we need a track to do our things SAFE! No more tickets! We have cars made for the track (drag or auto X) so I vote we do one at a motorplex that has both a road and drag event! Come on Phil....

nice when the dragon opens on TN side i'll give ya a shout

I'm all over and will be ther at whatever ya'll decide as long as i got the moneys to do so. so keep the meets coming lol

that would be awesome. and have a pdx option for the track day for those of us that do not have tt licenses :icon_tup:

Sounds like people are interested in three day madness??

OK.. Let me talk to some people... I been wanting to do some sort of event at TGPR and have checked it out before. Friday TGPR will be about 150-175/car, we could also have some sort of gathering and such. We could than do Steele, AL 1/4mile runs on saturday morning to day... but problem is if weather is bad, the whole event is a wash out for drag. I have to check and see if they have some sort of policy for rain out and also have some sort of alternate plan if it rains... Maybe a day of Barber Motorsport park bike museum tour??

And finally, AutoX.. Local Bham guys run Sunday AutoX. I think its 25-40 to do a day. Its held at a local dog track parking and there are ton of space to park at least 2-300 cars addition to autoX. I'll see if I can talk to someone about us just joining them.

All these locations are about an hour to 1.5 hours away from each other.

so Phil, your idea is turning into various Track stuff in AL in early Oct?

Tray, maybe both... or for next year.. I don't know.. its all just talk right now :)

Since im already doing zoomfest this year at TGP I think id rather see DGRR Fall be in the mountains again. Then next year explore the track day option.

A replacement for the speedforsale event would be amazing. Maybe this could turn into something like the Supra guys' yearly Texas get together?

Since I didn't make Spring DGRR, I'm down for Fall DGRR.

I'm doing Zoomfest this year.. especially its in my backyard :)

I'm also for fall DGRR as I didn't even get to drive..

Regarding 3 day massive all out event is that it will take some capital to run it and also commitment from quite a few. I could envision that it would be awesome to see 7, 8, 9 sec rotaries doing wheels and such (as Edgar from E&J knows ton of people). And also see people like Mike, Ernie, and other hard core rotary drag guys to show and run.

And road course side, my builder's son knows TGPR like back of his hand and has driven F1 cars in Spain, who could be an instructor at the event and do exhibition runs in his cart.. maybe :)

But all will depend on if we have good number of interested party to do this... and people will show no matter it rains or shine :)

I like where this is going Phil. I'm down for any or all of the above. I'm going to reg for ZoomFest damn soon so if you want to do an all out three day madness event that's sahweet... or even just a smaller gathering of guys @ NHVH or Fontana for 2 days of hanging out and driving around like Tray's B3R. I'm down for it.

You know were I stand.. I will see what kind of interest I can drum up. Sad to say some of the hardcore guys wont travel too far unless its a big grudge match or $ to be won. I could careless about either. What dates would you be shooting for?

Thanks for considering this Phil. I built my car to do all the events so I'd love to do it. My brother would also do the track event (not a rotary though). I think I could drum up some TGP business although it might not be all rotary. Count me in on something like a 3 day event....I'd drive 10 hrs for that!

?

Deals Gap is about 45 min from end of parkway... ;) I know phil, we're talking..i'm thinking about things...

Saturday Asheville to Cherokee on Parkway...Sunday at the Gap??

Giggity?

So? Is this happening or what? :D

Any updates as to if and when this might happen?

I don't think Fall DGRRX will happen.. I'm just too busy these days to organize nor do I have time..

BUT!!! Let me check....

Yeah no joke! ha I'm here too...

Just got my injectors back today. Got a few pieces for the harness i need to get. Then she'll be back together. It'd be up for a Barber track day. I love that track. If not this year, maybe next year. Remember the 10' Speed 3 I brought. Took 1st at BeaveRun and set a new track record for the class.
