I figured instead of posting at the end of the bazillion post long threads about setting up the Gap meet, I'd start a thread for discussion of this truly wonderful event.

First off, hats off to MRCCAL and Phil for pulling this off. Despite it being a first time event, they did very well and managed to keep pretty much the entire gaggle of '7 owners reasonably managed. Some of you know how hard that is.

Also, BONFIRES ROCK... thanks everybody for showing up at our campsite... was a really great time.

And I've got a lot of pictures I'll post over on the pictures thread too...

I just got in about an hour ago and I've eaten now so I'm gonna go wash my car and then probably write some more about this event for everybody.

For those of you who didn't go, be ready to mark your calendars for next year... this was an insane amount of fun.

 

My comment is just when can we do this again? This was an awesome idea and thanks to everyone who worked on this!

 

A great time. This was my first time out w/ you folks...and everyone I spoke with was totally cool. Nice to see so many 7s in one spot. Lets do it again. Jerry-red 87 GXL

 

i think they held it together fairly well, but next year maybe we could do a formal car show, and start the driving earlier in the day.

either way it was a blast, just trying to make some constructive suggestions.

 

I had an awesome time. I met many more rotorheads and reunited with many more.

Thanks to the MRCCAL for organizing this event. They really did their homework at organizing this event. I don't see where there can be any improvement with all the conditions there are up there to deal with. They will only have to plan for handling more people each year.

Excellent, excellent job guys!!

Yes, Yes, Thanks to all who had a part in this!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

chad, whats up bro/ have fun? hit me up mayne

 

Sounds like it was a great turn out. I want to make it to the next one. Good job guys!

 

I think it was a great turnout for the first meet. I had a lot of fun can't wait till next year

 

so, appoximately how many rx7s were there all together?

 

I would guess around 40

 

The event went VERY well in my opinion. Congratulations to Phil and company who worked so diligently to make a fantastic meeting happen.

I, too, look forward to another one, whether it be this fall or next year. The turnout was incredible, especially for a first year event.

I got to see some people I have seen in a long time as well as meet a lot of new people that I hope to maintain a friendship with.

Oh yeah, I had two things happen today. First, when my meal at the brunch today cost $7.77! I thought that was so cool.

Unfortunately, on the way through the mountains, Chris and I got stopped by NC's finest for speeding. I got hit with 70 in a 55. Chris got 80 in a 55. Ouch. Donations are being accepted via Paypal.

Driving in the Gap was an amazing time. Scary? Only when Brian Smith was driving. Fun? Without a doubt. Good enough to get me to do it again? Just try and stop me!

reese

 

At least 50

 

Thanks everyone for coming out. Without you guys, this wouldn't happen. So, don't thank me.. just come out next year!

 

I counted 36 and then a lot more showed up.

 

Had a great time. Attaboy for the organizers

 

I'm not sure, I last counted 49, but I do know that there were TWO 8s!

 

Deal's was so much fun. And FYI for those of you that will get this I think I should rename my forum to Stinky7. What do you guys think that were among the few to experience this.

Well, the parking area for the show and shine had 40 parking spaces and there were more than 10 cars that didn't have a place to park, not to mention a few were double park'd

Thanx again for all the participants, it was only a success because you showed up. See ya next year!!!

YOURS wasn't so bad. I know mine and sexyrx's were pretty rank but IMO HDPs took the cake.

 

You mean Smoke Screen's

 

And that's the truth...

 

Haha, Drew you need a little tuning on your 7, although your 7 already pulls pretty hard

I would also like to thank Phil and MRCCAL for setting up everything. I am part of the MRCCAL, but I was lazy (mainly work), hehe. I hope that next year I can really help out! It was awesome meeting everyone, everybody was so nice and great, just like what you would expect of a 7 and 8 owners.

I wish we can have another meet so, it was really really great. I hope the next meet, I will have a car to drive, instead of being a passenger.

Hope everyone had a good and safe drive back.
