    =======================================================

    "HQ" otherwise known as Liquidforce's RV of Chocolate Thunder
    Where: Turn 6 & 7
    When: Thursday 3PM to Sunday AM

    Unfortunately Mike and his wife lost their original RV when fording the river last year. It has since been replaced, but here is a snap of the original one...may she rest in peace.

    [​IMG]

    Equipment / Stuff for comfort
    At this point in time we have deemed the following as necessary equipment or items for general comfort (for a pleasurable experience at the event). These are in no particular order of importance.

    • Propane Grill (Camping style preferred)
      • Extra propane for grill
      • Grilling utensils (or a titanium spork as some MacGyvers of the grill prefer)
    • Trash Bags
    • Plates, paper towels, plastic utensils
    • Camping chairs (bring your own or sit on the tarmac)
    • EZ Up Tent(s) to protect 2pt5RS' head
      • One will be provided by WRXAtlanta / JPM
    • Coolers (the more the merrier)
    • Ice...and we mean a TON of ice
    • Solo cups or equivalent

    Food, known colloquially in some countries as "comida"
    This section is pretty darn important. Once again the following list is in no order of importance. As it stands, we are considering asking members who plan to stay for a while at the RV to bring certain items from the above list as well as the list below.

    • Hamburgers & Buns
    • Hotdogs & Buns
    • Bratwurst & Burns
    • Condiments
      • Katsup, mustard, mayo (if you swing that way), relish, etc
    • Water (bottled, 24 pack x 4)
    • Beer (several cases, no miller products allowed)
    • Snacks such as chips, nuts, etc


    There is much more information to come soon. Stay tuned and please POST if you plan to hang out at HQ and partake in the food, beverage and overall antics.

    See you there :wavey:

    I'm checking at work on my availability.

    if I come, I'll be making pulled pork. probably 20 lbs or so.

    there was also talk of bringing PS3/computer and my game chair/wheel combo (and wagunz_pwns stuff) and having some heads up racing on a projector. I need to make some phone calls and see if this can happen

    I'll be there later in the day Thursday, and I'll try to swing by the area where all of you Subie people are hanging out well before the weekend is over.

    I'm pretty self reliant in terms of my alcoholic source, but I'll be glad to share. Likewise, I might bring some brats (food... not annoying children) with me if anyone wants some.

    As I mentioned in the other thread, I'll be with with a small group near the woods at the bottom of the esses (where that ridiculously large Mazda corral was last year). If any of you see a blue wagon with gray wheels, feel free to give a yell or stop and have a few.

    Awww, c'mon. This is nothing that a wetsuit and some scuba gear won't fix!

    Seriously, though, I'm strangely enthused by the idea of some rain. I go to the 24 hrs. of Daytona every year (where it seems to always rains at least once during the race), and some of the best, edge of the seat racing encounters you see are in the middle of downpours. Every Petite that I've seen so far has been dry.

    A good chair, an umbrella, and a beer will have you forgetting about any weather related discomfort in no time. :)

    I just hope it doesn't get so bad that the race itself is shortened or canceled.

    I agree with Mike....

    If it's raining like it is now, I will still go, but I doubt that I'll stay the whole time.

    you guys are pussies. you know they have things called shelter, and you don't actually have to get wet and watch the race, right?

    besides, I just promised some guy at work I'd suck his dick so I could get off work and come (edit: this sentence turned out much funnier than intended)

    :unamused:
