The cruise to Skyline Drive is tomorrow (May 22nd). Some of the folks are coming from DELAWARE! Still room for more RX-8s:D
Take I-66 west from I-495 to exit 60/Route 123 north to first light with Bob Evans Restaurant on the right. Cars will be forming up in the rear parking lot with a scheduled 10AM departure.

If I may suggest...
If I may suggest...howabout somewhere like Arundle Mills Mall or somewhere else in Columbia? They are roughly halfway between DC and Balto. Both locations would be ideal for a meet since there are multiple places to grab a bite and chat it up before setting out for some backroad drives.
As for Baltimore/Upper Maryland owners...we should all really try and get a club/chapter going. The DC club is really very well supported and organized, but Arlington is a bit of a drive, especially for those of us who live up north in Bel Air, Timonium, Cockeysville, etc.

Re: If I may suggest...
Arvin,
would love to get something going like a club or at least a meet-n-greet over some suds and grub, and a drive. Arundel Mills is good, but anywhere we could get Baltimore-area RX-8 owners together would be fine with me. Now, if we could get the weather to cooperate...!

Meet spots are pretty easy to come by, almost any parking lot near an establishment that serves beer is great! And the establishment in question usually doesn't mind the additional visual attention... However... Drives: now there's a question. I know there are some roads with good twisties up near Loch Raven. Anybody have suggestions?

I'd show up, depending on date/time. (Might have to bring my 2 yr/old son...) If only the DC area mazda club meetings were done somewhere other than Tysons. Tysons is way too far of a drive for something like that.

Okay, here's a suggestion for...
...a nice Balto-area get together: Let's meet at Owings Mills, say at Hops Restaurant and Brewery, for a greet and eat. Afterwards, we could head out down 795 to 695 for a little freeway running. From 695, we could take the Falls Road exit and take the backroads off of Greenspring Valley towards Oregon Ridge and Hunt Valley on Shawan Road (Lots of twists and bends through this horse country!) From Shawan, we could take a left onto York road, travel up through Sparks and Monkton and then return to Owings Mills by going down 83, exiting to Timonium Road, following that around to Greenspring Valley, making a left onto Caves Road, which will dump us back out to Reisterstown Road and back to the Mall. (Whew!)
I think it's a pretty scenic drive...has a good mix of freeway cruising and backroad running. The drive should last a good 90 minutes or so. (Reasonable speeds, off course! :D)
Good dates for me would be the 20th, 26th or 27th.
If anyone else has any other ideas...if I can make it, I'll be there!

VIR anyone?
On a side note, the event is closed, but is anyone interested in driving down to watch the MazdaDrivers Event at Virginia International Raceway? I'm 98% sure I'll be heading down on Saturday (June 19th) to check it out...I'm really contemplating going for the Summit Point event in August.
For that matter, if you're gonna' be driving in the thing, let me know. I'd love to find out more about what it's like to drive your 8 around a track! :D
