2015 Miatas at the gap - July 24, 25, 26
I booked my hotel today for Miatas at the Gap. I will be staying at the Microtel in Robbinsville NC if anyone wants to attend and book a room at that hotel.
Miatas at the Gap
Not sure how many of the group activities I will be attending - I am interested in driving more than standing around taking pictures. I am sure I will have more fun if some of my MT.net friends come as well.
Post here if you are considering going this year.

It seemed to me that Fontana was a bit pricey for one maybe two people. If I KNEW I was going to meet trusted friends down there I would have popped for a two room cabin or something in Fontana, but for my first event I figured I would just do the conventional thing. It's only a short drive away.

I do a run that usually lands first or second weekend in October. It's a blast, 75% heavy driving 25% partying.
If MATG is anything like the pictures and videos i've seen online, i want nothing to do with it. Honestly, if i did go, it would be for the party and not so much the driving.

I've been there late May and early September which is nice but I'll take the July heat over the April cold anytime.
Also, I've been to Miatas at the gap twice and it is a much better event than the Rotary Rally. I would never go back to that.

Hahaha. I know. I hate the cold. If I could swing it I would live in Florida during the winter months.
It just sucks in the mountains that time of year because I was running 140tw tires so at night when it's at or near freezing, traction isn't the best.
Plus there is also the risk of snow which I definitely prefer not to drive in with summer tires.
It's nice in the evening at Fontana Village to sit outside, drink a beer and smoke a cigar. Not freeze my ***** off.

Miatas in Boone looks great and is right by the Blue Ridge Observatory and Star Park, which I'd like to visit this year. Might be a good 2-in-1 type trip. I'll need to figure out logistics as I can't fit my family in the Miata or Exocet.
