Hi
As Rotorstock 5 is only 2 months away and there appears to be little talk on here about it, just wanted to get a feel whether you are all going to attend.
Once Japshow is out the way, I will announce details for the tickets and what we can offer our full club members. Santa Pod have offered the clubs £15.00 for a weekend ticket and we will look to reducing this further for full club members.
Don\'t forget on the Saturday you get unlimited runs up the strip for just £20.00 Perhaps we ought to have a trophy for the person who completes the must runs on the Saturday:Giggle
Don\'t forget guys this is your chance to showcase the Rotary engine to all the other Jap cars attending and remember that we are a niche club due whats under your bonnet:Giggle
Anyway - watch this space and more details on Rotorsotck 5 to follow.
See:- http://www.rotorstock5.co.uk/
I\'ll be attending both days.
Has much been done to advertise already ?
Bulla
Hell yes
Ill be there both days
I\'ll be there... just need to buy a new tent after being shown up by Sicknote\'s canvas mansion last year :guinness
Chris.
I\'ll be there in my canvass mansion :D
Will bring the cider lol
I\'ll be there for sure and running on the strip :D
I\'m there for the full weekend.... might even have the car some where near finished by then too ;)
Jono
I`ll be there, hopefully both days!
I\'ll be there - and i might even try the strip for the first time, if i get the car finished by then - and it\'ll still be the slowest FD by a fair margin, i expect :D
Yep i\'ll be there too hopefully for both days :D
2 months? lol wow only feels like i was at the last 1 a few months back :),.. try my best to make this one but doubt it`ll happen this year :(
this is going to be on my birthday! ill be there if i still have an FD.
will be there for both days this year
Mark
i\'m going it my first time as a new member it would be nice to meet you all so me and the wife are coming with the tent so should be good fun
I\'ll be part way though a course at work but will do my best to make it both days :D:D
Adam
From e-mails I am receiving its looking good that we will have a bunch of Rotary guys coming from Holland this year headed by Kees who has been over for the last two years, first time with his FD that wowed a lot of people and then last year with his yellow RX-8,
Not sure what he will bring this year as he has a stable full of Rotarys including a Cosmo and a Gen 1 with a Gen 1 trailer !
Me and my wife will be coming. Probably camping overnight too.

I am sure that once the Japshow is out the way you will see adverts in the Jap mags for Rotorstock,
The Club will be putting a welcome to ALL Japanese cars advert in Banzi but as for all other adverts etc that\'s now down to Santa-Pod,
I will be there with (so far!) 14 other cars from DJCC, hopefully an good few more too. :)
C\'mon folks!!! The premier rotary event of the year!!! Dig deep!! :)
Im there for both days with Michelle, Camping is a must as late evening is as eventfull as the rest of the day :D
If its anything like RS4, it should be the best show of the year
Cant wait :D
ill be there both days!!
Yes i will be camping for the weekend too! no one miss this, it is our show, and a great show it is, i will be on the strip too this year, never done it before but hey its gotta be fun.
Lisa can you camp Friday night as well?
will be there 2...

I\'ll be there both days and hopefully doing a few runs on the strip !

Yes your right John
This is our show and our chance to showcase our Rotarys to the Japanese car community something which all you guys have achieved admirably over the last 4 years,
We have booked a 200 car stand as we did last year for Rotarys to share
We will check about the Friday camping but will warn you that last year we were told to advise anybody wishing to camp Friday night to do so at Billing which is just down the road
i will be there def sat, maybe sun !
i will be there both days, carnt wait :D
I\'ll be there for the weekend without rexy though.
How do you go about getting tickets and camping is it all done through the Rotorstock website? I only ask as this is my first time at one of these events:3Confused

Hi Marus
Please see the Rotorstock ticket thread to regsiter your interest.
http://www.mazdarotaryclub.com/forums/showthread.php?t=49770
As mention in my first post, once Japshow is out the way we will all concentrate on Rotorstock and more details regarding purchasing of the tickets will be stated on here.
Just watch this space for more details.
Hi Lisa cheers for that will keep an eye of more details and have registered my interest on the link you gave.
Thanks again Marcus
Hey All,
I\'ll be there both days, camping overnight again. Been looking forward to this all year!!
ill be there on sunday
so long as dry will be there saturday (wimp :rollin )
I\'ll be there come rain or shine, both days. Hopefully I will get the red project car done in time but its a tight tight squeeze, bring it on a trailer if i have too along with the white FC. I have been looking forward to this all year and would not miss it for the year.
Can\'t miss Rotorstock, will be there for the weekend :mmmm
i will be there - just not sure what day yet ??
Ill be there both days! Ricco & Robbie will have to meet up for a mini convoy down, and think some of the SJCC lot will be down too

Hi everyone!!!
There will be 4 of us coming from France to attend this event both days!!! ( http://www.mazdarotaryclub.com/forums/showthread.php?t=49770 )
We can\'t wait to be there, all really excited!!! Hope to meet more of you this year!!!
We have RX7 ourselves and they are very rare in France...! It will be nice to see so many RE all together again!!! As we live pretty far away, it will be easier to come over by plane to London and then rent a car from there...

Hi JapHunter
Really pleased you and your freiends will be coming back for Rotorstock 5, look forward to seeing you there.
You may want to havea look at this thread
http://www.rotorstock5.co.uk/
Yep... Very nice website... Looked at it quite a few times since it\'s been online!;)
What are the general thoughts on putting a Rotorstock 5 DVD together (stop me if I\'m treading on any toes here) ?
I\'m happy to donate my quad core plus my current unemployed status to pulling everything together if I know roughly how many of you are taking cameras (stills & video) to the event. We could each focus on one area (drag strip start, drag strip end, drifting, interviewing the crowds, drivers, etc..) and swap and then I could combine all the footage.
Any budding TV presenters out there ?
Was just thinking we could easily beat some of the cack they show on some cable channels these days....... and a Rex show on tele/dvd could do us no harm...

Hi Mart
What a fantastic idea - you are now in charge of handling this :Thumbs-up
If you need any help financially to put it together let me know, will be great to be able to put this out on the MRC shop after Rotorstock.
i will be bringing my HD camcorder and am happy to donate any footage & pics to the cause. Presumably you have premiere pro?
Hi there this will be my first time at rotorstock and do we all camp in the same area (all club members together) and have the RX\'S parked together? Also is anybody going from the north west and we could get a convoy started on the 9th.
No I don\'t Ash, we can talk about that, have used Pinnacle Studio and Ulead in the past but that\'s before I built myself a hotrod desktop !! hehe
Certainly a show of hands of those who could donate any video footage and who want to be involved would be a good starter for ten. We may be able to sweeten that with an \'access all areas\' type pass or two ?
All creative input welcome....... your chance to do your own Top Gear....
Mart.
As we are now on the countdown to R5 there will be updates that I will try and bring you as soon possible, like this one
If any of you are going Drifting at R5 you will need to follow this link and register asap as they have told me this morning there are only 60 cars allowed and only on a pre-registered basis so from other events held they expect this to fill up very quickly.
http://rotorstock5.co.uk/dwyb.php
Of course i shall be attending hopefully both days,
no rx as such at the mo so will bring the Evo3 me thinks and perhaps my daughter too :Thumbsup!
Hi All
Leondina and I and the RX7 will be there Saturday and maybe on Sunday too
We cann\'t wait !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Regards,
Michaelb
I\'ll be there, but ain\'t sleeping in my car again, next day I couldn\'t feel my legs :Hammer
If I manage to put at least 1250 miles on my engine before that day, I\'ll try my luck in the strip aswell.
I\'ll be there for both days in some form or other.
Need to fit a replacement gearbox and cure a serious oil leak before, but if I cannot complete in time, I\'ll come down in the family car, with the family !
Just over a month left... The event\'s coming pretty soon!!!
Hi everyone...
After having discussing it with Lisa, she told me it would be a good idea for me to ask you "Rotary lovers" to give us a hand... Here is my question...
There are 4 of us coming from France (by plane) landing at STANSTED Airport... Arriving on the friday (8th August) evening and leaving on the monday afternoon (11th August).
Because we are coming from a long way by plane, we will not be able to carry any tents with us... Do you think it would be possible for one or more person who will be attending ROTORSTOCK 5 on full weekend, to lend us 2 small tents or 1 big (4 people) tent for the saturday night... + 4 sleeping bags ?
It would be really lovely if you could sort something out for us...!
We don\'t know yet where we\'ll be staying on the friday evening and the sunday evening neither... if anyone has a fairly cheap idea, it would be great as well.
Let me know anyway.
Thanks everyone and hope to see you soon.
Regards.

I\'ll be heading down for the weekend on the 9th so could meet up for a mini convoy. Anyone else interested? We can then arrange somewhere that\'s good for all.
I also was wondering about the camping, any more details?
Thanks Lisa...
But it\'s not really worth it for us to buy tents, air beds, etc... as we will not be able to bring them back to France with us.
That\'s why I\'m trying to find some of you guys to help us out as it\'s only for the saturday night...
Thanks.

what about an inexpensive b&b? Lisa might be able to get you a list of local b&bs
Lifts you will be able to orginise, I am sure

Yep... looked at that already thanks...!
But we are trying to have this weekend as cheap as possible as we are paying quite a lot for plane + renting a car...
Surely, some of you could lend us a tent or 2 with sleeping bags for the saturday night... I\'ve done it once for english people who came to Le Mans by plane, I know it\'s not always easy...
Come on guys...! It would be great!
Unfortunately, I\'ve just (well, 2 months ago) disposed of my spare tent/bag :/
I can lend you a tent, no problem. have one thats two man and is actually a very neat little tent. I will see what sleeping bags \\i have but need mine for the family that are camping in out bigger tent.
I will be showing my white FC Cab so not too many of those around in that colour.
its not that we dont want to help you but the prob with tents is if you got one your going to be using it.:3Confused
JapHunter, not being funny bud... but the deal that Lisa showed you for £25 each, you guys can use the tent and all the extra gear for all 3 nights and could afford to bin it after....
£25. for 3 nights accomodation! :Hammer
if you end up with the tent lisa put up ill take it all home so you dont have to just bin it. ill even buy it from you 4 £20
thats £20 each for three nights accomodation
I have a 2 man tent available to borrow - it\'s in storage (so not a million miles from you Lisa|) It was unused when it disappeared into there so should be complete - including instructions - in English. Can\'t help with the sleeping bags I\'m afraid. Modern cycle touring style ones pack down very small and don\'t weigh much - you should be able to pack those easily enough for a flight. Unless things have changed you won\'t have much need of a Tuxedo at Rotorstock.

I will ask for you and will try to find you when we arrive at Santa pod on the saturday.

Hey,
Same for you jinx, it\'s very nice of you...!
Will you be attending Rotorstock 5...? Will you be able to bring that tent with you?
I\'ll try to find a sleeping bag on my side to put in a bag if I can...
Thanks.;)
Hi Guilhem.
I won\'t be at Rotorstock so, if it is alright with Lisa and Clive, I\'ll get the tent over to them to add to the other four thousand items and three cars they have to get there. If they have not got space for it, I\'ll find someone else to carry it.
Would picking both tents up from the club stand be easier than wandering around looking for individuals? Perhaps Lisa would not mind standing guard over them till you arrive. You should be easy to spot with all those merit badges on your sleeve :D
Have a good RS5

i will be coming over from holland with the FC for my very first rotorstock experience!
also some others from the Dutch RX-7 club will be attending and Clive arranged some space for us all :D

i\'ve already been to japshow, JAE and japfest last year, and this year also japshow... those were already awesome, specially compared to what kind of shows we have here in holland!
also i hope to have my new front strut-brace ready by then, this thing is going to be massive :eek:
whats good about rotorstock is the rx turn out. we all seem to get on with each other so its a really good party atmosphere. cant wait to see your fc furb.
Hey Furb, Jason (t2rew)
How about you both entering the inter-club challenge for MRC, yes I know you don\'t have Drag cars but it would be real good to see a couple of Gen 2\'s out there and I bet they are quicker than a lot of other clubs cars :wiggle
well i would really love to put it on the strip, and probably will.... BUT.....
i still have some issues with the engine, my ignition is too weak and needs a hks twin power (which is on the way) so i dont produce any more power beyond 5krpm @ 14psi.
so this makes me have to shift very early and not really make a good ET.
but what the hell, ive seen some people run @ japshow and just know i will get a better launch :spank
Just sent PP funds for a weekend pass - prob camping too if the weather is ok

As this will be my first Rotostock, can someone advise of the general arrangements.
On arrival I guess i say i\'m with this club, how will i find the stand etc, will someone be on hand to arrange parking near the stand ?
Can i leave the parked area to have a few runs on the strip ?
I\'m sure I seem like a sado, but I don\'t want to be the numpty in an RX7 not knowing what to do
Thanks (be kind)

Hi Chris
Have you bought your Rotorstock ticket yet? if not you have until 10.00pm tomorrow night to buy them at the discounted price otherwise you can pay on the day and I can reserve the stand pass for you.
With your ticket you will recive a stand pass that ensures you park your car on the Rotary club stand, - just follow all the other rotaries!!! hopefully there will be a few hundred! and yes you will be able to leave the stand to go up the drag strip.

If it\'s been raining anytime in the days running up to the event, try and get there early to nab a spot around the perimiter or the camping field.
The middle, is usually very muddy, bumpy and uneven.

Great for the tents guys!!!
Thanks a lot... All we need now are sleeping bags...! Can you arrange us 4 sleeping bags...?
See ya!!!!!!!!!!
Find a large Tesco supermarket once you land in the UK. Failing that there is one in Wellingborough - which is near Santa Pod (see below). Tesco are currently selling small, lightweight, sleeping bags - the sort that fit in a backpack for cycling - for under £4. (5-6 Euros?). That is less than the price of a packet of cigarettes, 4 litres of petrol etc etc so would not be a serious expense. (even for Grinder)
You\'ll be able to take them home because even Ryan Air allow you to carry some baggage. These aren\'t big and hardly weigh anything at all. They might, as far as I know, be crap sleeping bags but in every other respect they seem ideal!

I\'ll bring them along and leave them on the stand for you to collect, if that\'s convenient with the peeps running the stand of course. Sorry I can\'t manage all 4, but 3\'s better than nothing!
Are we allowed to set up a autojumble style table? I have loads of FC bits to offload and RS5 is the ideal place. Be nice to have a slot for a workshop or something ? plenty of people who need timing, TPS, or compression checks that can be carried out by a few of us. I will bring pretty much all my spares so if anyone is having trouble or poor running cars then we can do our best to get them running nicely. There will be decades worth of experience waiting to tap into. What do you think?
I have the TPS lights and all the tools just need someone with the compression checker and timing gun. I will also bring a gazeebo in case of poor weather.

Hi Pete
Sounds like a good idea! - however, you will have take ownership of this and we will only allow one gazebo to be put up for this purpose and the stand will be where we see fit to go, otherwise we will fall foul of Santa Pod\'s trade stand rules.
Well still trying to get back into a rotary for RS5,
If i cant then not sure if i will make the trip as not the same without your own motor on display like :yes
Fingers crossed can get it sorted asap :3gears-rh

Quote from: jinx;521449Find a large Tesco supermarket once you land in the UK. Failing that there is one in Wellingborough - which is near Santa Pod (see below). Tesco are currently selling small, lightweight, sleeping bags - the sort that fit in a backpack for cycling - for under £4. (5-6 Euros?). That is less than the price of a packet of cigarettes, 4 litres of petrol etc etc so would not be a serious expense. (even for Grinder)
You\'ll be able to take them home because even Ryan Air allow you to carry some baggage. These aren\'t big and hardly weigh anything at all. They might, as far as I know, be crap sleeping bags but in every other respect they seem ideal!

Could I please point out that I am in no way connected with Tesco, have never met Dame Shirley Porter (she is not even on my Christmas card list) and, since their decision to cease stocking Fox\'s Sunbreaks biscuits, only rarely visit their stores.
Fellow biscuit mourners should visit http://www.nicecupofteaandasitdown.com/ for news of Sunbreaks availability.
Hiya,
That\'s a really good idea, thanks for the info...! We\'ll try to find some at Tescos in Wellingborough, been there already so shouldn\'t be hard to find!
These sleeping bags seem to be the one we need!!!:Thumbs-up
See ya...
