Any ideas or suggestions for an early 2010 GTG

Nope....But my 88 Trans AM is ready for some long distance GTG!!

If it is before March 22nd... Ill try my hardest to be there.

that should be enough time

How about a BBQ?

BBQ sounds good... How does Feb sound?

TRACK MEET AGAIN??

I can't afford test and tunes, but im down on a Wednesday street legal drag night. I am planning to hit the track before I leave. If it is a Track GTG, ill come, but wont race my car.

I say March would be good. If we have to do Feb. Lets make it the very end. It will give some of us a bit of time to finish things up.

End of Feb sounds good... Steve, you getting the Formula going? What all do you need?

Not saying anything right now. Posting here seems to jinx all my plans.

Don't post a video of you sliding around a turn either... That seemed to jinx your motor...

Yeah, no kidding. I think this car is cursed. That vid was taken about an hour before the engine went. I really think it had an issue that the previous owner didn't let me in on. Ohwell, that's how it goes sometimes.

How many miles on the car? If it makes you feel better, my engine blew at 69k miles... Then the Posi went out at 80k... Then the tranny started slipping at 84K...

I think I got the Lemon car. Maybe Formula's are cursed???

I've been wanting to host a GTG for awhile, but things have just been too crazy these past few months. My house is in the process of being sold and just can't accommodate a good 3rd gen GTG.

I was thinking a BBQ car meet / car part sale might be a good idea.

Find a decent location to bring a BBQ and also bring stuff you have for sale/swap. If that sounds like a good idea, once we get near the head count stage, we could list the items you are planning to bring for sale and asking prices so folks can be prepared to make deals.

Other ideas?
Late Feb / early March?

I say GTG, swap meet and racing all in 1 day. Winter test-n-tune every saturday in Sac Raceway until April.

Feb. BBQ!

Either way we should set a date soon so that way people can start requesting the day off...

I will show, with the hot rod, and I also volunteer myself to eat tri tip and drink beer

If we do it in Feb, lets make it the end. I won't bring a non thirdgen again.

I'm definately in. Late Feb/Early march would be perfect. :O Where will it be though?

This will be my first GTG, so I'm exited. Woo.

I'm off work at the end of Feb. My IROC is just about to roll over 250k on the all original motor/trans/rear! I've watched it roll 2X's, so I know it's legit. Keep me posted. A few of us from Cen-Cal should make it.

Im defiantly in. I just hope i get the t-top seal before then. i had to get it smoged and drove it t-top less.

So whens the date going to be posted? :O

Lets DO DIS!!!!

Since time is ticking....
lets narrow it down,
Feb?
March?
Track?
Restaurant?
lets figure it out before it comes and goes.

I vote for Feb and BBQ at a park or something...

I'm liking Bullydawg's idea. February would be good, maybe at the end. And a BBQ, I need the date though.

BBQ at the track! Bully you dont have to race. But you still can come into the track area with your car and chill. I vote BBQ at the track. But im down for anything else

Lets be sensible bout this.. Most people are looking for a late Feb/ Early March meet.. so lets just say March and call it good. We did the track last time, although it was fun, we should try and keep GTGs fresh and do something different each time. Its not like we do these things once a month. Lets BBQ and swap or see if the guys in Central Cali or the bay area wanna meet somewhere in the middle and we can cruise to see them. The track will always be there.

What up buddy.. you ever get some new numbers for the intake install from the last time?

I get bored quick, I say track & BBQ, besides doesnt anybody want to see me break into the 10's?

track and BBQ is good. Park sounds nice, but I'd be bored quick also. Watching racing is good. if its cheap racing i'd run my not-yet-modded car down the track for grins. Guess that would be a wed night.

I will Race my car on a wednesday night, but I know most people aren't going to be able to make it to a wednesday GTG... Ill go to the gtg, but I may or may not race my car... Of course I want too...

Let's expand upon the BBQ/Track and include the swap meet idea to keep it interesting for folks that may not race, but want to sell/buy/watch racing and BS.

I'll make a new thread with details on this one and a headcount / seller-item list if this sounds good to you all.

Maybe the next month, or so we look into a cruise GTG for those that can drive on our public streets

If it is in March, this would be best for me...

I'm up for the BBQ and Track, I personally wont be racing, but I sure as hell would like to see some of your guys' cars. What exactly is test and tune? Remember guys this is my first GTG. :O

I want/need March so I can break my clutch in and get all the parts but if it needs to be in Feb, I will try to be ready. I'm thinking bbq/swap meet. I have some extra parts laying round I can get rid of. If it's at the track, cool, no big deal to me.

Saturday Test & Tune is very low key,especialy in the colder months, not hardly any cars, plenty of parking & as many runs as you car can handle.
This is a no brainer

I elect Joey,his Dad & Uncles for food/cooking.

With all the miles on my DD IROC, I wont be doing any passes, but don't mind watching you guys run either. Is there a spectator fee? Our local drag (Famoso) charges an entrance fee + a drag fee if you plan on running your car. Let me know soon so I can plan for this.

Yeah, its $10 to watch.

Okay then, I would be one of the spectators. But my friend Tyler (who I might be bringing with me) might run his 89 IROC. Keep me posted on the dates, so I can request the day off. Thanks guys.

March 20th works perfect for me! cant do anyting before that date

March 20th should work fine for me as well. But anything after ill be gone in basic... March 20th is the last day I can possibly go. Haha I leave march 22nd.

Thanks for being open minded about the BBQ with out the track, I kinda see where boredom would set in eventually. Im in regardless. Del, thanks for keeping a cruise in mind also.


Hey Marc- is my fiancee allowed to cook too? She is the same nationality as Joeys fam?

I didnt think your wife was German too. hahaha, How about getting your wife in touch w/ Joeys fam & lets do this cook out up. I'm down for some good Shnitzel & Cabbage, haha

March 20th wouldn't work for me Due to the fact that my car is going to be in a body shop during that time, (it's getting painted)! But there will always be other GTG's in the future. :O Keep me posted on the EXACT date. Thanks guys.

Its so far out, can you push out the paint or schedule an earlier paint job?

Bullydog, you're racing right?

Vinnie, you going to make an appearance?

Well the thing is, me and Larry (my paint and body guy) have been talking about this for MONTHS, and we had it planned that we would start work ASAP as soon as the weather started to warm up, which just happens to be at the beggining of March. I really was looking forward to FINALLY getting the work done . I'm not sure, I really want to come to this get together, and so does my friend Tyler (he was gunna follow me there).

Umm, I'm not sure, but at the moment its not looking like I can make it to this one.. even though I really want too. I will keep you guys posted.

I might be heading down with my buddy bullydawg.

Ill go. I don't think ill have the money to race. I would like to, but I have a few more important things to get to prepare me for whats ahead.

Okay awesome, either I missed it earlier or it just completely flew over my head, MARCH 20TH IS A SATURDAY, WHICH IS AWESOME! Even if my car is in the shop, I might still be going with my friend Tyler, in his 89' Iroc, I will keep you guys updated, I really hope I can go to this.
