I have some things to juggle.

I might show up Saturday and just make a day trip out of it. If so, I will find a way to communicate so I can meet my friends. That would be very nice.

I've been on the fence regarding this trip for a while. There is a PCA DE that same week @ VIR, and I couldn't make up my mind. I think I've decided to hit the dragon instead of the DE, but I am wondering if there is anyone who is willing to split a room at this point.

ALSO.....is there an itinerary . I've looked around the different threads and didn't see any plans other than meeting that weekend. For those who want to attend but don't stay at the 2 wheel inn, a schedule of events would be helpful, so we'll know when and where to meet everyone else

Does anyone have a feel for the weather next week? I am worried about the storms brewing in the Altantic right now.

Me no likey rainy on my clean & shiney car.

Extended forecast at the Weather Channel has it raining 60/60/40 % for Fri/Sat/Sun.
Subject to change without notice.

Can we get a head count for next weekend?

Hannah flooded my driver's side carpet today. Still trying to track down the leak but the Alarm Control Unit was dry. That was a stroke of luck.

We need to keep an eye on the weather forecasts. I will need to cancell if rain is likely for the 3 day weekend.

Well, I guess I'm the guy that had the bright idea to go and then had to cancel due to a worn suspension.

Last year, I was dubbed "Mayor McCheese" by Nick or Sammy or both because I kinda organized the event... but I will not be there to do my cheesy duties! :ah:

So, one of you fine Porsche owners should step up to the plate and be Mayor pro-tem and just organize the first meet and greet. Everything sorts itself out at that event and a concensus can be reached about plans for the day(s).

One word of advice... find someplace better to eat breakfast than the Awful House in Robbinsville. I still have heartburn from that NASTY, grease laden breakfast.

[dmcutter]

Wussboy. Waffle House is a North Carolina staple and represents the finest in Southern Cuisine.
Oh, BTW, either the county or the town of Robbinsville is dry, so no booze to be found there. If you want to get a buzz on (in plenty of time to detox for the morniing's driving, of course) bring your own. As I recall you can get beer someplace reasonably close, but best to stock up. Just don't keep it in the rear trunk!

Actually, I thought it was my idea. I tried to stir up a trip in February while traffic was low and the road wide open. But most wanted a Fall trip. Then someone started a new thread to decide when in the Fall. Then someone made a new thread sticky once the date was decided. Not that I'm looking for an award... I'm just saying...

gas prices went up 50 cents / gal 30 minutes ago. i'm am really looking forward to the trip, but i'm not sure now. if it keeps going up, we'll be stuck in the mountains with gas selling for $8/gal with only 2 stations in a 40 mile radius.


i'm a little nervous :chicken:
