Meet in Ohio????

[birdman]

Is there any plans for a meet in ohio, because id love to go to one but dont really feel like driving forever to get to one.

THAT!! Is a good idea!. I brought it up at the meet in Mishawaka, but not much interest. I would like to see all the Buckeyes in one place, and since I live here, might as well do Dayton area. We have the track at Kilkare for T&T, it is on Thursdays however. And there is a buttload of stuff to do around here. Air Force Museum alone will fill up a full day.

Camping is done almost anywhere. John Bryan State Park? How bout it Ohioans? Early September sound good? PM me and I might start planning something. (And you don't have to live in Ohio to go)

Everyone always wants a meet in their own state. Yet, (except for this year) the majority of the people going to the meets drive over 500 miles to get to a meet. I think the least amount I've driven for a meet was ~850 miles. The only reason I didn't go this time was because I started a new job in January and don't have the vacation time built up yet, and I just bought a house 2 months ago.

Sorry, just ranting. It just annoys me with some people on this site and not wanting to drive their cars to meet other members. There was a couple people a couple years ago who lived like 3 hours away from the meet but didn't feel like driving that far, yet the majority of the people who were there drove 10+ hrs.

There was always the 03 meet in Canada.... 1300+ miles one way IIRC. And oddly, that was probably our best showing in the 5 years we've been doing this.

I totally understand. But I know there are a lot of 60d greasers around here. And just for a state meet, this is a perfect place. A lot of peeps could even sleep at home.

If someone knows a better place in Ohio, that's cool too. I'm flexible and driveable.

my car doesnt work, or id go to a meet anywhere. providing i could get time off, which is the big obstacle since there is only one replacment cook, and he's never available.

Im moving back to Ohio next month and would love to do a meet but I wont be able to right away , got to get the paint work done and engine dyno tuned. Anywhere works for me, I live for the drive.

I might be able to make it, depends on whats going on around here though. Maybe a bit later in september would work better for me but again, no clue.

[birdman]

I know for sure unless rain that there are test and tunes scheduled at national trails for the 30th of october and the 6&13th of november. all other test and tunes are on there website www.nationaltrailraceway.com and they usually just put them up for that month because they dont know if they can get enough people there to run the place. im up for whenever as long as its on a weekend.

Repost the site.. It didn't work. But, I am in for a Fall meet in Ohio. I like those dates. Plenty of time and cool weather! (The Cutty LOVES that.)

Edit sorry about the caps, too lazy to edit, heres a list of tracks http://www.dragraceusa.com/DragStripDirectory/ohio.htm

[birdman]

site worked for me but here it is again anyway www.nationaltrailraceway.com. and i was thinking the same thing about the temps, its been too hot latley and would make it worse because i dont have A/C in the lumi

[patgizz]

dragway 42 is 20 minutes away if you guys wanna take a little ride up here to medina, i volunteer my front yard for a mini-meet. so ben would have no excuse but to shoot out 80 and show up.

[SappySE107]

the track we went to for our ohio meet was a joke and I won't go there again. I dunno what it was called but someone does im sure.

Dunno what ill be driving by then either

[birdman]

there are quite a few small tracks in ohio but to my knowladge national trails is the largest or darn close. i was just there for the dunlop neofest and got tons of pics and vids. sure not to dissappoint if it ends up that the meet is there, plus its almost in the center of the state making it at most an hour and a half for anyone in the state.
