Could we, should we have a meet?

Gentelmen, way way before I checked this thread out, I got the entire week after that off of work so that weekend is free and clear for me. And if thats not enough, I live in Louisville! I can be down there and back in a day! The way my plans are working right now, I'm going to have a new garage to put my baby (and hopefully a new house to go along with it). If everything works out, someone will have a set of cam timing tools for sale.

one of the better spelunking tours at Mammoth would be awesome this time...

since im taking the truck, does anybody want a 95 3.4dohc with a spun rod bearing?

[RidgeRunner]

what are you doing in alaska?

Trying to not get eaten by a bear.

No really, just going for the heck of it. Might attempt driving up the Dalton Highway. (google if you must know)

I'm also setting the registration cutoff date for June 30th. Hopefully by then everyone will know if they are coming or not.

I might not know by then. I will clue y'all in as to my expected presence or absence as soon as I can though.

Ok, guys. After talking with Ben, I have decided for Saturday that we will go to Mammoth Park and once we get there we will decide what we want to do since there is so much to choose from. And obviously we'll still be drag racing Saturday night. The only thing I'm still trying to decide on is where we'll be doing Sunday brunch. There are a couple good restaurant choices and I'll pick one soon.

I'm also setting the registration cutoff date for June 30th. Hopefully by then everyone will know if they are coming or not. I'm also going to make stickies in some of the sections about the meet and I'll be sending PMs out to everyone on the interested list to get more info about your ability to come and some questions. Please get back to me as soon as you can. On July 1st I'll be calling the Corvette asembly plant and making a reservation for the tour. It costs $5 a person to register which I will pay out of my pocket up front, but I'll need to get back from everyone either before the meet or before we go on the tour. If you wanted get me the money before the meet, I would really appriciate it as I am kinda strapped for cash right now.

if i come, my buddy from west va, (cavdaddy05 on v6z24) might come with me. and i could bring my grill. its a good size, uses the mini propane tanks. or do it like i do, bring some cinder blocks, get the old billet grill off dads chevy and make my own, works pretty dam good i tell ya!. the date is pretty close to my wifes due date, so just gota wait and see

Well, even red necks are getting high tech anymore, and wishful thinking never hurt anyone :P

[SappySE107]

I have a grill we can use (just thought of it). Its kind of lame but its also kind of "neat". haha, ill have to dig it out of the shed.

I doubt they have wifi or broadband.

[pocket-rocket]

Looking for fresh crab? Hey, I could bring my ancient laptop that I've brought every year before (lol) and my new ORiNOCO Gold WiFi card and 7 dBi gain external antenna in case the campground has free WiFi now. I wish I could get a job so I could just fix the 92 to bring that again, but you know what they say to do with wishes - something about wishing in one hand..... If I bring my truck, I could dismantle my gas grill. It's not like my wife would miss it, and it is one of those quick tool-less jobbies and the tank should be pretty full at the moment as well.

what are you doing in alaska?

[RidgeRunner]

You run your Saturn down the 1/4 and I will chase it with my Ranger if it gets taken. And yeah, I hope that problem was fixed after all of the suspension work I did. You don't hear clunks and bangs over bumps anymore. And yes, it is a TIB suspension. I wish it were TTB (twin traction beam) because then it would be a 4x4.

If I make it to the meet, you'd better make it. I'm making no promises on taking the Saturn down the strip though. 'Course if it survives an upcoming 10,000 mile roadtrip to Alaska right before that, it could probably survive anything.

cheap guitar, and the bridge needs to be replaced. Its plastic and the strings sit to low on it cause I cut the slots a little too deep. They used to be too high.

[robertisaar]

I plan on being the riff raff, thank you very much I just fixed my $50 acoustic with some paper on the bridge to raise 2 strings a little. muhahaha!

paper on the bridge... does that work? i'm guessing the neck is warped...

i only know about electric, so acoustic confuses me....

[OldSkoolGP]

I gotta say I am shocked by all the interest. This is gonna turn out to be one awesome event! Awesome to hear that you can make it, Brad. It wouldn't be a good meet without admins present to keep down the riff raff

[bszopi]

Its not as bad as 2002 or 2003...?? I was living in Kansas at the time and make the trip up to Ontario, Canada, for a meet. Been to Bowling Green twice, both traveling from Kansas.

As far as this year, the trip will be ... 539 miles. The Kansas years, it was 642 miles. And the trip to Canada was over 1000 miles.
