IAN... Ah, ha! How long was trip back for you and John and Brian? Good meeting you guys.
Pete89T2... Good meeting you. Love the car. Rx Se7evn... Heard you had to stop every few hundred miles? But it got home under its own power unlike mine. Think I spun a bearing. Supernaut... Were you with Collin on the way back? And, what's the deal on air conditioning? Gordon

We had a great time again this year, and I think our fellow Nova Scotians enjoyed it too!
Best: Driving the dragon, going to The Mitty, hearing the angels sing when the four-rotor went by on the front straight. Great weather, lots of cool cars, dinner at our cabin and meeting some new friends and seeing some folks we met last year. Worst: The long drive home - 3 full days, over 1700 miles. Ugh. |

By the way, I am writing a story for my local paper about this (I work for the paper in marketing and also freelance for them). I will post a link when it's available.

 Best: The ATL Caravan, it was pretty cool seeing that many rotaries crusing down the road. Worst: Leaving, the weekend always go by so fast. Wish I had more time to hang out with the people I see once or twice a year.

The Best - so many good things!
 1 Great Roads 2 Great People 3 Great Cars 4 Winning the FD Clutch that we needed to fix the junk one in the car now 5 Visiting with Brian Smith ( Owner of Rotorsports Racing ) who gave me my first opportunity to work on a Mazda race car 6 Visiting with my old boss ( JIM DOWNING ) at the Mitty 7 Visiting with my engine builder ( RICK ENGMAN ) at the Mitty The worst 1 Time flies when you're having fun - event was too short 2 Returning home to cold, rainy Indiana where the gas prices are outrageous and the roads are horrible Richard & Sheryl |

The Best: The fact that the event happened yet again, and that nobody got hurt.
The Worst: Date conflict with the Mitty so I had to make a choice between the two.  The Mitty was a lot of fun though, but very different from DGRR. Totally different sort of experience. On my way back to Michigan, I just followed the Blue Ridge Mountains back north. Got to run the Skyway, the Dragon, and the Blue Ridge Parkway (for the 1st time) and had a blast just taking my time and enjoying the cruise.  Glad everyone had a good time at DGRR. Wish I could've been there for it... .

Best: Always, socializing with some of my old friends, meeting new friends, and driving the 318 curves. The caravan was awesome to Nantahala and to the Mitty.
 Worst: Date conflict with the Mitty I didn't want to make a choice between the two, so I attended both, but really wish I could have made the Mitty the other 2 days also. I hope I don't have to split my time between them again.

AC? I dunno. People are always so shocked when they find out my AC works. Many people I've met don't even bother trying to fix it or put it back on their cars. I can't live without it.
