Yes You Do Mr. Blizzard!!

This weekend Nadine and I are going to do some scouting out of the routes, lunch spots, dinner ideas, etc. I'm hoping we can get a few things nailed down so we can get registration open soon. Each year when the venue changes, so does all the rest of the stuff that goes into it so we have to start all over again.

Our lunch stop on the Friday drive is my biggest concern. Winding fun roads out in the middle of nowhere are wonderful...except they are out in the middle of nowhere with no place to accomodate 100 people!

I will report back next week!!


Not sure if our drive is taking us south at all but I have a farm in Burnsville,NC which could accommodate and i know several food places locally that cater.

UPDATE!!

A few weeks back I mentioned that Nadine and I did some scouting for the drives and lunch spots. One of the places we wanted to stop and have a chance for all of us to stretch our legs is Linville Falls. Its a beautiful area with both easy and more difficult hikes up to different viewing areas of the falls. Here are a few pictures I took while we were there. In the last picture, the people you see in the distance is where we were standing to take the first picture.

Well I'm down to one car and it kind of fits into the Theme. I'm committed to getting the car Track/Road ready in the next 2 months.

Problem is I can't do both Okteenerfest & Tropical Ramble as they are back to back weekends

That involves getting time off for work which comes at a premium. I need to make time for a trip to the PNW to see my son & DiL, extended weekends (24 Hour at Daytona HSR race, Savannah HSR, etc)

Hey. Mike Blizzard, remember me? You came over and picked some parts (drip tray drain tubes, targa top windshield rubber, etc.) off a blue 914 I had years ago back behind my parents house in Grayson. Haven't seen you in a very long time. Hope to see you here.


Wow that is a blast from the past! I will be there. Pretty cool your son is coming. This is a great event.

Ok so the support is beginning to roll in. Mark at 914 Rubber will be helping out. I have a few details to work out before giving the details but this is huge! You will want to win this. It would make your car and nicer and is likely the thing we all need. Besides this huge item, Mark will be send some of his usual goodies. Eric at PMB is providing a set of front calipers again. Who couldn't use those? Stay tuned as it will only get better.

Remember we were at capacity last year so don't until the last minute to register.

3rd time's a charm (I hope). Hope to finally make it this year.


I still have your goody bag and t- shirt for last year. Should have sent it but I am a loser.
