Apparently there is two Mike Smiths....
Sorry I posted your name like that .....
Your screen name is 90IROCconv....
It's easier for me to remember real names before screen names !
So are you able to come to this ?
Thanks,
Robbie

Re: 2012 Thirdgen Roundup
I am planning on coming. I was about to bail on the trip, but i got the car out yesterday and that pushed me over the edge. I did pull a muscle in my back this weekend so I am not looking forward to sitting in that car all day, but no pain no gain!!!

Re: 2012 Thirdgen Roundup
We had shirts embroidered for the main directors of the roundup, but we are considering opening up the sales to anybody that would want them. I think they are incredible sharp. If anybody is interested in getting a great shirt at a great price (probably less $40 or less depending if we have to ship it) let us know in a PM or in person on Saturday. If anybody knows what quality embroidery cost, this a bargain.
I just realized the logo might look a little big in the pic, but it looks different on a normal sized shirt. My wife is modeling it, and it's a size small. A man wearing a normal shirt would bring it more to a proportional size

Ethan plus one (he was put on the list twice as Ethen) will not be attending because of graduation. You can take him off the list (twice).

Anyone have a Firebird driver-side fender they want to sell and would be willing to take to the roundup?

Re: 2012 Thirdgen Roundup
tgn has helped plan the whole event. not sure what the difference is in who did what. we are all working on it and trying to get as many events as well as interest in the whole thing. we are also trying to find or set up a place to take pics during the event as well.

Well, that was just a shake down to see if it would break, the launch vid is playing at the track all motor, LOL.
Narrow two lane road, rear tires spinning to 70, you would be serial face too! LOL

Re: 2012 Thirdgen Roundup
No idea, but the HP calculators come up with 475ish, so reality, 440 or so sounds right.

Re: 2012 Thirdgen Roundup
That looked like a fun burn out.
I'll be washed, waxed, and detailed as well. However it looks like some of us are hitting the drag strip on friday night, so there is going to be some tire debris on the rear of the car.
26 spline, still no pm's as of this post.

Re: 2012 Thirdgen Roundup
I bought a new starter today too. I might have it on before saturday, but mostly I bought it just because I didn't know how old the one that was one there was, and it doesn't want to fire over unless the battery is fully charged. I think that's a sign of a weak solenoid

Re: 2012 Thirdgen Roundup
Well,
I got to put some miles on my camaro last night! I drove it up north of Durant, Oklahoma to pick up my dad.
It was almost a 200 mile round trip there & back, one of the cool things it used a little over a half a tank of gas!
So i Guess it is road worthy to drive on longer distance trips NOW.............
I think that this is the furthest I have drove the car at one time since I have had it (almost 11 years), & now I will put some more miles this weekend!
Gentlemen Start your engines!!!!!!!!!!!!
