Driving time for us shows about 7 hours, with stops and traffic I will expect to be on the road 8.5 hours at least. Need to decide on departure time so we can make it to camp site on reasonable time Friday night. @Enlight@jaylew I'll PM you both my cell # for direct comms. Is there a Telegram/WhatsUp group for this? It's in the air but I will shoot to be there 3pm or earlier, just so I can get the lay of the land as a good organizer should. If you plan on being there earlier I will match your time. We do have a WhatsApp in the first post, I will repost it here: Quote Join these WhatsApp groups: LGT Meet Announcements & LGT Meet Chat I know some people prefer Signal, which I'm not opposed to. We will save it for next meet. In the meantime, just download it for this year and delete it after the meet. 6 muFreight.co A JDM Container Sharing Service from Japan to NYC Website | Instagram | Email Bessie II's Thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJBerk Posted June 10, 2023 Share Posted June 10, 2023 (edited) We’ll grab some beer from MD and DE to bring north. We’ll show up around 3, 1 or both of us. If CB agrees to work ‘from home’ that day, we’ll arrive just about 3. If not, I’ll arrive about 3, and he’ll show up whenever. I could use a hand with a couple small trailer things if I’m alone and if anyone is around by then. If not, f’ing girl power, I’ll manage alone. I’ll bring something to throw on the grill… chicken maybe. annoyingly our reservation doesn’t have a site number, only that I paid $10 to guarantee a site number.

Enlight Posted June 10, 2023 Author Share Posted June 10, 2023 Check-in time is 3, I will try to be there to help you Jeni. Have you tried giving them a call? You can ask to be situated by reservation R00000013946 aka the LGT group. Also, everyone please join the WhatsApp links in my signatures for announcements. I will bring name tags this weekend in case people find them useful for username/real names. 4 muFreight.co A JDM Container Sharing Service from Japan to NYC Website | Instagram | Email Bessie II's Thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bud Light? Pair that with some new season swim wear, I've heard Target has some popular ones... On the beer front: I'll be bringing beer as stated but won't be consuming much/any myself, have shoulder pain come back big time (hence my son doing all car work recently), so I'll be having fun with ibuprofen and such.

boxkita Posted June 10, 2023 Share Posted June 10, 2023 First 2 sessions done. Got an instructor to ride along for the first couple laps. Im slow. Like got lapped by every one multiple times slow. It's been 6 years since I've been on a track at speed; so my expectations were low. Car continues to impress. Even when I bobble a turn in or over brake, it's there keeping me on the right path. Hurray for computers. Go pro was hooked up and running. I'm optimistic that I'll get actual footage today. With regards beer, we might have to do flights of samples. Except the bud light, we'll need a clay pigeon thrower and a shotgun for that. 3 4 Build my car Boxkita Track days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I Donated thefultonhow Posted June 10, 2023 I Donated Share Posted June 10, 2023 So I haven't been following the multiple pages of banter. I'm planning on just coming up Saturday. Gonna use my summer half-day on Friday afternoon to wash the spicy Malibu, and I'm thinking it doesn't make sense to come up for just a couple hours on Sunday. Besides said spicy Malibu, am I supposed to bring anything? I guess I can look around my attic for old LGT parts I never sold 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boxkita Posted June 11, 2023 Share Posted June 11, 2023 Official numbers and all. What a fun stupidly scary track. The sim doesn't even remotely provide the same adrenaline rush as driving under the bridge and not seeing where you are going. Car is still running. I'm still running. All the prep paid off. Heading for NC next. Then EMC. Heading home after that. Buc-ees is a gas station. That pays really well. And sells 93 clear for 3.64/gallon. 1 1 Build my car Boxkita Track days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here is the menu for Saturday night (what we (Berks) will provide) Burgers, brats, buns (cheese, pickles, tomato, lettuce, ketchup, mustard, onion, sautéed mushrooms, BACON I almost forgot BACON) Coleslaw Corn on the cob and potato foil packets We’ll provide napkins, cutlery, garbage bags, recycle bags What we need: Dessert (I will have ingredients for s’mores, because… camp) Paper plates Beverages (we’ll bring some MD/DE beer, and maybe some homebrew to share) I’m guessing we’ll feed about 16-20? I’m not worried about cost - none of this is too expensive. 100% agreed that Canadian syrup is delightful. Little known fact about Jeni (or did I already say it above?) I’m a dual citizen. Made syrup as a kid. Looking forward to meeting you all soon! Round 1 of shopping done! Burgers being prepped this afternoon. Reposting the above to remind all what we are bringing and what we need help with. Also, special request, probably from south of us (@boxkita, maybe you?), if anyone finds Bold Rock seasonal cider of Pomegranate and/or Tangerine, please pick me up some? I’d take a few 6 packs (I usually find it in glass, but don’t care if cans are it!). I can send e-funds or bring cash. It’s out of NC and we can get their usual stuff in MD, but seasonal is hit or miss and it’s my favorite! Edited June 11, 2023 by JJBerk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boxkita Posted June 11, 2023 Share Posted June 11, 2023 @JJBerk from my bnb host: "My wife is a big cider drinker. She informs me you can find it at most local grocers - such as Ingalls. There are tasting rooms in Downtown Asheville, and there in Mills River. https://boldrock.com/visit/" How much do you want? The front seat is still available and the yeti cooler. I have a fridge so can ice it down before putting in yeti. or you can handle that at the campground . Ill search for a place tomorrow. Nearest grocery store on the way here was an hour away. hoping continuing east provides more options. 2 Build my car Boxkita Track days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just let me know what I owe you. Their product is great. There is a wonderful brewery/restaurant in Charlotte NC called 4001 Yancy.

tysparks81 Posted June 12, 2023 Share Posted June 12, 2023 So we grabbed a Huge bag of popcorn, and two other bigger than usual bags of chips, as well as paper plates, and some cups, and 40 juice boxes.

KZJonny Posted June 13, 2023 Share Posted June 13, 2023 If I ever have to sell the GT, it would have to be for a 240Z. Not a terrible trade-off, tho I suspect once the childhood ‘want’ factor had worn off, I’d probably wish I had the Legacy back. The 510 is another car I wanted very badly, but if I am packing a car to take on the 6 hour trip back to visit my parents, I pack up the Legacy. Every. Time. Cool factor is exactly that. Getting there safely and in reasonable comfort is great as well too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enlight Posted June 13, 2023 Author Share Posted June 13, 2023 @tysparks81 @JJBerk I can pitch in for desserts and snacks as well, I'll see if there's some local business in/around Carlisle we can support. I will also bring cups for ranch water and Toki highballs. Add ice, too. Do we need name cards for this weekend? It's a smallish group so maybe not?
