DGRR 2011 Date has been set!!!
 

DGRR 2011 Event Date has been set!!

Dates are: April 28th - May 1st, 2011

Location: Nantahala Village

Registration will open early Jan. 2011

Also, you can not book any rooms til registration opens. If you happen to book at NVNC, I have the rights to cancel your reservation! So, don't even try :)

This coming DGRR event is forecast to be the biggest of past 6 years!! Sign up early and get your cars ready during the winter!

Phil

Score!! Phil = rock star.

Glad it is a little later this year. Weather should be slightly better. Sad it is still at NVNC.

Can't wait to register. Now to just get a car, and put it together.

Sorry DJ... I just don't like Fontana.. NVNC are more accomodating.

Remember... it was NVNC owners who pushed to get the US129 open for us this year... REALLY! Fontana wouldn't do shit like that.. All they care about is to nickle and dime us to death.

I know Phil, and you know I'll still be there.

Whether in a rotary or not.

Awesome. Can't wait. Thanks so much Phil for all the time you put into this event!

Awesomeness! If everything goes to plan you will see me there in the old Rx-4.

THANK YOU! Glad to hear the news!

WOO-HOO!!!!!

Obviously looking forward DGRR '11 :auto:

:( may be too close to WHiV to pull off will have to see

AW YEA! I totally cant wait, and the date is great!

Thanks again for all your efforts, Phil. I love the later date, and I LOVE
Nantahala! Planning on volunteering this year if you need me for anything.

I love NVNC. The drive to the dragon is almost as much as the dragon itself.... Almost. I'll be there.

+ 1 million.

Sweet cant wait, let me know if you need any help with anything as usual.

Hmm...

I might.. Is there a way to have rotating banner for signatures for DGRR?

Can't wait, Phil! Glad to hear the ball is rollin'!

Trying to get all the RX-7 guys around here up and ready to go too!

Kinda depends on what you're looking for... with a forum mod, you can auto update / refresh the signature with javascript. To rotate an actual image the only way may be to create an animated gif, but color quality inst usually too great with gif images. You may be able to make animated png images, but the file size may be huge, and not all browsers support them. So it's definitely doable... but you may need a way to create a different add for each persons banner.. Not imposable though.

Yeah...I think I'll be a go for this finally.

Only took me 4-5 years....lol

Arg!! This is the same weekend as the Mitty I think. I'll have to choose I guess.

Sooooo there!!!

:biggthumpup:

Ok the Mitty is the same weekend which normally I would blow off for DGRR.

But now I just read the announcement on Grassroots Motorsports that the
marshal of the Mitty is Jim Downing and the marque is Mazda. Also there will
be a number of historic mazda race cars shown as well.

I was all set to do the DGRR but now :dunno:

Uh oh, that means alot of people will go to the Mitty instead of DGRR.

Maybe reschedule DGRR to one of the earlier dates??

OK, I realized there are several of you considering going to Mitty...

I didn't not realize this and I myself am interested going to Mitty.

Since DGRR date was just set, I'm trying to get in touch with NVNC to see if we could move a week ahead. If so, DGRR will continue a week ahead or announced date. If not, I might cancel this years DGRR.

First off, I apologize for pointing this out. If you can work it out to an
earlier date or later one, that would be sweet. If it weren't for the historic
mazda people and cars at the Mitty this year it wouldn't have been an
issue for me personally.

If not, don't cancel DGRR, as its an iconic event just like SS, but on the
east coast.

That just doesn't make sense.

I know I will go to DGRR over the Mitty. If they can't get you in a week ahead, no biggie.

NOOOOOO!!!!! don't cancel DGRR it can be done almost anytime. (if you hold it they will come) the mitty may affect turnout because some can't do both but a lot of people make this the only event to do every year.

+1 don't cancel DGRR!

LOL! I just said that in worst case scenario as I would like to check out Mitty... if its as glorified as what I hear about next year.

I have called NVNC and shot them an email about locking it a week ahead. I'll let you guys know asap.

:suspect:

Phil, the weekend before the announced weekend is Easter. If DGRR is moved to Easter, I won't be there.

Screw Mitty, if you have DGRR during Easter Barry won't come even though there's no better way to celebrate the resurrection - Jesus would approve!

Jack

+1, Easter weekend is a non-starter for me, will have family in town. If DGRR '11 has to move to not conflict with Mitty, a week later might be better.

I think you either have to have it 2 weeks or more earlier or 1 week after or not change it.

What's a "Mitty" anyway? The only Mitty I ever heard of is Walter Mitty in a James Thurber story.

hope to make both events. and i too vote for at least the following week for dgrr.

OK... I didn't realize April 21st through 24th, 2011 is the Easter weekend... So, no go for those dates..

At this point, I'm planning to stick with original set date.

I can't do it the following weekend...

Well, At this point, I'm just going to say forget Mitty... I'm going to stick to the original date. What we could do is we could try to goto Mitty for one day on Sunday as a big rotary group from DGRR XI??

yeah i agree lets not worry about Mitty

Actually, the more I think about it, the more I like the thought of a Rotary show of force at the Mitty on Sunday. I'll already be in for a 26+ hour drive down anyway, so what's adding another few?
