i wish my 7 was working, im having problems with the clutch hydros and the rear pads are gone, so im stuck with my other car till the parts come in.. at least its a mazda... and rear wheel drive.

Eric is stationed over on Pope and will be bringing some guys with him. We're meeting Eric at the I-95 & I-40 intersection if he decides not to drive over to Smithfield for biscuits and gravy. Which car will you be driving from your Mazda stable?

For everyone coming on the road trip tomorrow, I'll be raffling off 2 passes to see Stranger Than Fiction (New Will Ferrel Movie... click) for free. Each of these are for two people to attend the premiere in Raleigh on Thursday night (Nov 9th). It will be a pull a name from the hat type of thing. The raffle is open to everyone (not just Raleigh heads). I'll also, finally, have the GT Live posters for those who want them.

Guys,

CB directions:

Stay business 70 through downtown Smithfield. Once you get to the stoplight at the Burger King turn left and CB will be on the left about a mile down Industrial Dr. If you go 70 bypass take exit 334 and at the second light you get to turn right at the BP gas station and CB will be about 2 miles on the right. Call me on my cell if you get lost 919-539-4186.

We kept looking for you, thinking you'd pull in but it never happened. When you didn't show we left, around 3:00 to drive into Wilmington to eat and everyone split up from there. I followed Rodney back up I-40 to besure the his doughnut spare didn't fail him. Had to make a pit stop at the medial rest area and never caught up with him after that so I guess he got back to Smithfield OK.

It was a great show and a lot of beautiful old cars. We left before they announced the Best of Show so I haven't found out which car won this year. They haven't posted the results up on their website yet.
