heres what i know so far. trip is june 5th in denver. the utah cadre is meeting up and taking i-80. possibly meeting the wy crew along the way. how long is it going to last? am i going to need a hotel room? have we already picked a time to meet in utah? what is planned once everyone meets up in denver? |
Originally posted by Landon_Starr I can just see it now........stopping at a wyoming gas station to pick up drphill & doc, & as they come around the corner their 2 8's meet up with another 4-5 Utah 8s. Think of how many people will just be staring with their jaws on the ground. :) Now THAT'S what I call entertainment. lol. |
Rare to come across a female who understands this concept. If ya ever find one, ask her if she has a sister. :D

With my not wanting to stay overnight, I'd like to get started early in the morning. Grab a huge cup of coffee, meet up somewhere around i-80 on-ramp, and move out. :) Maybe leave sometime around 7:00 A.M.....unless that's too early for some? --Landon |
Umm...you do realize that it takes about 9 hours to get to denver from SLC right? So if you leave at 7ish, get here about 6 at night? that doesn't leave much time for the meet...:) Maybe i'm missing something here....
|
Hmmm.....need to find an excuse to drive to Colorado in june....
|
it's a pretty time of year :D

Originally posted by Landon_Starr Times for meeting haven't really been discussed. My schedule is so sporadic, I'm probably going to wait until the date gets closer before committing to anything. I don't think I'll get a hotel. I think I'll just plan on cruising up for the main day, then going home. I'm kinda a night owl anyway. :) With my not wanting to stay overnight, I'd like to get started early in the morning.

Dropped the road trip idea to the wife tonite. Maybe try to drive up on friday and saturday...meet all you guys and drive back sunday. She seemed open to the idea so I'll keep pestering her until she says yes. (cross your fingers)

9 hours???? We drive an RX-8, not an accord.
If ya average 120 miles per hour....... :) j/k. I guess the last time I drove to Denver I was having a really good time on the drive....seemed like much less time than that. :Re-thinking plan: Landon <---standing corrected. |
Hmmmm, so it sounds like you Utah folks would rather not have this meet be a 2 day event? We were pondering that... second day being a "track" day...

LoL. Sorry. No animosity intended, but that retort was RATHER effective if that is the case. ;) j/k.
I can make it a 2 day thing, I really wasn't thinking about driving time until Serff pointed it out for me. Sounds like I'd almost HAVE to make it 2 days, to justify the trip. <shrug> I think Jercs was ok with it being a multiple day trip. --Landon |
I think it would likely be a three day trip for me. Drive up all day friday...play on saturday...drive back sunday. Anyone have a suggested route from phoenix AZ?
|
I'd help ya out if I could. I was under the impression I could get to Denver from Salt Lake in about an hour, though, so you may not want me to help you. :)
Happy Birthday, by the way, Sanguine. If the forum birthday thing is right... --Landon |
We could leave around noon on Friday. Those with work could get a half day or something like that.

Originally posted by Sanguine_Dark I think it would likely be a three day trip for me. Drive up all day friday...play on saturday...drive back sunday. Anyone have a suggested route from phoenix AZ? It really would be great if you joined us! And maybe you can gather up some other Arizona RX-8 owners and enthusiasts? I know VividRacing is in the Phoenix area and we will be inviting them to our meet as a vendor, so maybe they'll want to caravan with you. Also, forum members Urchin and Edge are also somewhere in Arizona... In fact, I see no reason that Arizona couldn't become part of the Rocky Mountain RX-8 Club. ;) |
Ya man, that would be sweet to get the arizona peps up here too. I REALLY want to see vivids car. I want that body kit. it is sweeettt. Hope to see you all there!
|
Landon, Thanx for the offer and yes its my bday (31 baby!!).
Omicron, I live right down the street from huff and I just went for a drive with him sunday. Maybe I'll mention it to him. Also I believe Urchin doesn't live too far from me. The route you mentioned is kinda the one I was thinking of. I'll see what I can come up with. Serff...they just got an Autoexe kit in down at Vivid by the way. I think it's like 2200 or so. |
I'm tentatively in...depending on location.

Hey guys -- I am going to check my calendar -- if you will let a Nebr. contingent make the trip (as a CU grad I should at least get an exemption ;) ) I have been dreaming about spending a few days driving up Flagstaff Road, Sunshine Canyon, Estes, etc.
