The turnout gets bigger every year for the Yarii. I should have sent my easy up tent with Orlando so you all could of had some shade. I will be there next year if the dates don't conflict with other events. Maybe next year I can compete in the racing portion.

Going down one of those hills a state trooper just about got me. Luckily my radar detector went off and there was a trailer truck in the fast lane for me to hide behind.

We actually had 2 awning/tents there. Paul (Cube guy) brought one and I had a back-up one.

The picture I posted is when everyone else cleared out - we didn't initially park like that. We just did it for a group shot.

All i have to say is that I am Definitely glad that I drove the Grand total of ~2,100 miles! was awesome learning some things and meeting all the YW + MI peeps (although I'm still having a rough time putting faces to screennames) ....

If they just had a couple of golf carts roaming around with the IA gear and some water or something I feel like that would do pretty well and would be convenient.

Ill pass this onto the organizers. The carts that were roaming around this year were either vendors (Zero Lift) or people who brought their own. That super long cart was one someone brought in. They are already in rough planning for next year, it could be a 3 day event next year, Friday night could, potentially, possibly, might be 1/4 drags on the track. But that's a 1 day after IA'11 idea, there is a whole year to think about that.

When did you end up there? I didn't see you.

KCALB SIRAY · 07-19-2011, 02:32 PM

Sounds like you all had a great time. Sorry I missed it.

She met up with us at the Hyatt around 6pm. She apparently felt like touring the city of Nashville first before showing up.

Essentially once she got on the road and all she thought that it was located somewhere else so she was a ways away by the time she was in the area.

It actually really sucked. Everyone there were a-holes, dirty, smelled of cabbage, and kept stealing peoples valve stem caps.

A great group of people to meet and I will always remember it even if it wasn't earth shattering when it came to what we did...nothing super special, just good people and good fun.

fnkngrv · 07-19-2011, 03:38 PM

oh yeah, before I forget, the waitress at the Irish Pub was hot too

Yeah, I finally got there around 5:30ish .... I think .... I drove around Nashville for a while thinking it was in the same place as the fall. Since everyone said "It's in Nashville" - well, Lebanon and Nashville are two completely different places so my blonde self wasted about an hour leading the guys around Nashville looking for IA. But yeah, got there late and then went to the pub and drove around Nashvegas for a while with everyone. I was glad to see everyone, it was fun :D Looking forward to next year even more now! And I have a new place to go on the weekends; that pubs f'n pickles are amazing. FOR REAL. haha

Yeah. I got to hear about it the whole way home. Wasn't that great?

They don't have a strict dresscode there, that's for sure ....

Yeah - what he said.

That's what I get for thinking I know everything because I'm local (moderately)
