So who all was in 658 with us? Besides Ben, Cameron, Marcus, and Lucas? Trying to put names to faces. I was the one with the black track-prepped CRX on the fat 13" panasports and r888's. I maintain that driving a Miata to a Miata meet just isn't cool. Drove my crap can Mariner blue 90 on 15x9's that burned tons of oil last year. Good time. Can't wait to see yall gain next year.

I'm Steve.

I'm the one who brought the bear to the woods. His name is Ryan_G.

Looks like we are going to have a redo next year. lol

We need all the MT.net folks to stay in cabins together so we can pool our tools for breakdowns and I'll stay off the dragon with my new car.

Perhaps having a cabin number where we can all meet known prior to arrival...

We got in later than expected (Wednesday night instead of tuesday), and then spent a lot of time fighting mechanical issues. :(

Yeahhhh.... they actually changed the number vs my reservation, and didn't really have a way to relay that info. Le sigh.

It was also just trying to catch people a the right times. Who was going on what runs, and where folks where in general. A centralized meeting point is moot if there's no one to meet there.

Basically you want to do the runs that Marcus is leading/organizing. They leave from the grill. (A&W run, Donut Run in the past, Brewery Run)

There may be a lot more people that come to this event than you'd think.... there flat out isn't space for everyone to meet at the main lower parking lot by the general store.

Fun fact: I haven't been able to post on this site from my phone in over a year. It just flat out doesn't work. Too many obtrusive ads for me to be able to log in, it just locks up and becomes unresponsive. :( IB broke it.

Therefor: I blame IB for the problems.

As much traffic as US129 gets now on a yearly basis it would be nice if Verizon dropped a tower in somewhere.

As an uninitated MATG noob, I didn't know the lay of the land. I was stoked when I saw "most disease" and the turbo kitteh on Steve's car.

I was about 20min away from Fontana at one of their small cabins earlier in the year and had great 4G cell signal. It is hard to believe that Fontana signal would be far worse.
