We're having a prep meet in Louisville, KY October 10th... I have a few things I need to take care of before camp! Blown front passenger strut, I think I have a broken sway bar bracket, and some charge piping updates.

Nothing too serious, but it all needs to be done. I don't have any damn time!!

I'll be heading your way Wednesday morning so we can cruise up from Knoxville together.

I love caravaning(sp?)! Except for being the last guy at the light and having to run the shit out of it. That sucks.

Well now that you're offering.................LOL. I dont think I have enough muscle for that many handies. But it hasn't slipped since, not that I have noticed at least. And only slipped at peak tq (380awtq) in 4th gear. Since 2nd & 3rd gear are lower in power I'm hoping I wont hit it hard enough to make it slip. Probably being optimistic and by the time i leave the dragon I'll be power shifting. But as long as my clutch doesn't show increased signs of slippping, and my mommas health maintains, I'mma be all up in yalls shit.

I hope to have the funds together soon for parts but dont think I cant put the install together fast enough to get it in. I dont have the skills to perform the swap by myself and would need to rely on my local NATOR homies and when some of them can help. I've read the walk-throughs and such and feel pretty decent about it but not confident enough to do it alone.

Cool your jets little lady. I got enough meat stick I can send some with you to keep you warm at night.

A little over three weeks out!! When does everyone plan on arriving? Staying at campground?

[ItsNox]

Campground! I got the Taj Mahal 20x10 3 room tent.

I'm on the fence about this trip. Not sure my Jeep is up to the trip, let alone the dragon

I'm in the same boat, work is messing with my schedule that week, and I'm in a bad place with tires right now on the speed.

Just put on centric blanks and yellowstuff for this trip.

[865ms3]

Need tires bad. Killed my rs3s at the last auto x style event we did. Been on the fence with rs3s again or re71rs. think I'm going to pull the trigger tomorrow on some old trusty rs3s.

[InkedInspector]

I got some fresh RS3s, and a whole lot of new goodies since this spring. It's gonna be a blast, excited to hang out with everyone again!

[08cosmic3]

I've been busy working much so I can haz pocket full of jingle to spend at Camp. Lets get this party started.

Same here man. BNR/springs/meth/brand new tires = gonna be a whole different trip! Last trip my tires were literally slicks. At times I was spinning all four wheels with 300awhp lol. After ENM i got home and checked my tires and one was corded DEEP. I don't know how I didn't die.

I hate to say it but I'm officially backing out of this trip. I'll see you guys next go round

[08cosmic3]

It will probably be cold at night, bring warm cloths and heavy sleeping bags. I have a electric blanket, small room heater and a quality sleeping bag I'm bringing. I might even bring a coffee maker.

I second this. During spring camp we froze our balls off the first 2 nights. I had 2 heated blankets, one inside my sleeping bag and one between me and the ground and was still cold. But I'm a cold pussy.

I like the coffee maker idea. Didnt you rent the cabin?

The cabins are filled with couples mostly, I'm tenting.

the money i make will mean some go fast parts for the 6 :-D

[InkedInspector]

What's all this we stuff @ItsNox;? I was nice and toasty during ENM, mummy bag. haha Though I did enjoy hearing y'all freeze over there.

Kidding aside, bring warm stuff guys, seriously, you can always remove layers and gear, but if you come under prepared you're SOL. I am actually shopping for a new tent now, but I wanted to ask if anyone wanted to go in with me on an RV site. Any takers?

Man I wish I knew for sure if I could make it. If I can, I need power for my CPAP, so RV site, but I didn't reserve one because work keeps fuxking with my schedule for that week.

If I come I will have to drive from Illinois to Virginia then to the dragon. Probably wouldn't make it until Friday. If you have room for a one man tent on an RV site and I make it I'll throw in some cash, but I'm still iffy.

I'll be there for sure, without boost. Likely not camping I can commute on a daily. Do I need to reserve a spot to camp if I do?? Anyone having a prep meet up for the nc/sc side?

My Jeep is in no condition for the trip right now. I would ride with someone but I don't get off work until Friday evening and I'm sure everyone will be gone by then

Wish you weren't 3 hours in the wrong direction I'd scoop you up man. Is speed down right now?

[InkedInspector]

I put in my vacation time today! I am debating what to do with my tent situation, I need a new one, I don't want a huge one to camp in for just myself, wifey wants a bigger one for the family, so i'm thinking of buying a little cheap one for when I'm by myself and spend the money on a bigger one for the fam. Anyone here have or used the Coleman Sundome? Amazon has them for 44 bucks and the reviews seem pretty good for a cheapo 3 season.

[YoursTruly]

I am lightly considering making the trip up to do this. I haven't camped in forever, but I think I still have some of my old stuff. Man, 4 tanks of fuel in a weekend is a lot.

[InkedInspector]

You know you wanna do it!

I had a blast at Spring Dragon camp with the Oklahoma, Georgia, Alabama, Illinois and Michigan crews. There were many drinks and fires.

[YoursTruly]

A spare set of wheels/tires and the tools to change over doesn't leave much room for camping stuff and a beverage cooler. I wish the Rx8 had a real cargo pass-through.

Skip the cooler. I have enough fireball for the both of us!

Didn't see it friend sorry dude. Mazdas are Kool especially the speed. Jeeps are the shit too.

LOL, I still have 1/3 of a gallon of Fireball. Mixing it with hard cider is dangerously good.

[InkedInspector]

@CrawlingMS3; When and why did you dump the speed?

He had a mustang at Epic then ditched that for the Jeep...

[865ms3]

Ok...I'm 100% ready now. Just need to get the camping gear together.

I'm getting all verklempt when I read this thread. Planning to make it to at least one of them next year, but this fall just can't happen.

[hurricane2ndgen]

Gettin excited can wait to get my new brakes set up.

[InkedInspector]

It is getting down to crunch time, I have to get the RSB on, an oil change, and that rear right caliper sorted this weekend. Rob and I aren't done with the tune yet either, but on Rev. 7 it's honestly probably good enough if we didn't get any further.

I opted for el cheapo on the tent. The Coleman Sundome 3 person is 7x7 and so it will hold a queen air mattress and the rest of my stuff, reviews were really good and they are under 50 bucks on Amazon for those of you in the market.

Do not forget your radios people! Cell phones DO NOT work outside of town, so it's your only communication, granted it still doesn't get you far, it's better than nothing.
