Blue Ridge Gathering 2011
Blue Ridge Gathering 2011 Website (http://www.wix.com/sixsixfour/blue-ridge-gathering-2011)

What: Blue Ridge Gathering 2011
When: May 12/13-15 (several of us are attending Thursday - Sunday!)
Where: Fontana Village Resort, North Carolina
Why: To drive the Dragon, of course ;)

This year we have reserved eleven 2 bedroom, 1 bathroom Laurel cabins. The rate for each cabin is $149/night. The group rate EXPIRES March 12, 2011.

Please reserve your cabins under GA3SBRG11 to get the group rate.

8 of the cabins are actually two 2 bedroom cabins that are connected with a door that you can open to make it a 4 bedroom cabin. These are still reserved as 2 bedroom cabins, but you can request an attached one if you want.

All information, as well as registration for BRG, can be found on the Blue Ridge Gathering 2011 Website (http://www.wix.com/sixsixfour/blue-ridge-gathering-2011):D

Hey guys,
This year is a little different because of the date change, but a spring gathering will be lots of fun just like past spring BRG events!! I know that May is a busy gathering month (UMG & ECG), so I am very sorry if this date change has effected travel for some of our attendees that go to these other gatherings. It has been pretty stressful trying to find a weekend to work with everyone's schedules since our recently traditional last weekend in July won't work with the hotel this year. Please note that next year BRG will be the last weekend in July again.

Ah okay, I thought the cabins were already reserved and we were to pay you for them.

Oh no, sorry! They are reserved for our group until March 12, but each cabin has to be reserved/put a deposit on by attendees orcelse they're put back out there for non BRGers to rent at a higher rate!

Is it possible to add a single bedroom cabin to the reserved list like last year? It's our only chance to get away all year, and we're really not interested in sharing a cabin. Two bedrooms is pretty expensive when you don't use one of them.

Thanks.

Uhhh..... Well..... I sold the Red Stealth a couple months ago! I was starting to run out of driveway space when I got the 93 TT frame. Plus I needed the money to buy parts for the TT.

The car I am going to bring is the 93 TT that I built from the ground up! You can see the build thread here from day one to current:http://www.3sgto.org/f13/saved-crusher-93-stealth-tt-rebuild-restore-304.html

I just have to work out the small bugs, Do the evil eye mod and paint the hood, and tune the car completely!

Nice video, I'm probably going to go to this one instead of the ECG. ECG is too close to the BRG.. and it is way farther away. I can't do 2 gatherings in one month. I don't think the 3s will be mechanically able to make it to both. :lol7:

...looks like this one won't happen for me. :( at the current rate i'm at, may will be PRECISELY when i'm pulling the motor out of my car & putting the new one in. (fucking pistons have an 8-week lead).

any word on SEDD? i should be able to make that one--with my car still in "stock atx vr4" form. :shrug:

*edit*

we're not having SEDD, are we? i checked silver-dollar's website. fuck, there goes that idea. now my only prayer is that my car is up and running 100% before NG; and that my transmission will hold up.

Technically, last year was the last SEDD because of the lack of interest & how I have to pay out of pocket to rent the track. A few people talked me into SEDD11 being the last SEDD, but it's not going to be a spring event because of the date change of BRG. It's not on Silverdollar's schedule because the date has not been set.

Yeah, unfortunately, our normal weekend wasn't available this year. So, we went back to a spring date like many years previous.

Well my car is progressing pretty good. The weather is going to play nice so I should have the paint done in the next week or so. Then I have to fix all the little oil leaks that keep popping up and finish the tune. Unless something else major breaks between now and BRG I should be driving it out. Yeah..... :)

Rick and I did a single due to health reasons. There are single cabins within walking distance. Not much cheaper than the double, and then some last year stayed at the lodge I think. Either way, looking forward to seeing everyone!!!!!

So she left us a voicemail saying that if anyone wants a single cabin, to tell them that you are with our group & they'll accommodate you! She did not, however, give us a rate.

Off to leave another message... But you can book one under our group now.

I missed you guys, I've never been to one without Sean. :(

I did have a good time though, Nick took your guys room so I had some help paying for it.

The roadcourse is the Cherohala Skyway. The Dragon is more of an Autocross. Reminds me, the drive in to work today was soooooo boring. :(

Had a great time this weekend tearing up some roads with you all!


Sounds nuts... Any video or pictures of it?

Yup, got 10 minutes of video with the truck chasing down the M3 and other black Bimmer on the dragon.

Just have to upload it at some point today.

Edit: Here ya go

OK lol

Yeah, if you want to, start a pic/vid thread. I only got 4-5 pics because my batteries were dead.

My GoPro case fogged up a bit so part of the video is a bit hazy..of course it's probably the best part with me and Dan going all out for a good stretch. Still probably worth uploading though, just have to chop it up so I can upload it to youtube.
