Re: SoCal Thirdgenners April Meeting

Oh shoot! I just realized Don and I are going to be in Las Vegas that weekend!

So, either Don and I miss out, or we move the meeting to the following Saturday, the 11th.

Re: SoCal Thirdgenners April Meeting

There is a good possibility I will still be down patrolling the border on that date. I would not mind changing the date to the 11th.

We are less than 2 weeks away from the meeting. If the reservation is going to be changed we need to do it right away and post the new meeting date asap.

Re: SoCal Thirdgenners April Meeting

Strange that you can't post. I always thought it was a matter of our members simply don't post for some reason, not "can't" post. Yes I got us penciled in at Mimi's for the 11th of April.

Re: SoCal Thirdgenners April Meeting

It is weird Allen, for the longest time I had to switch over to I.E. from Firefox in order to have the site accept my log in. Last week I went over to our club site and tried "one more time" to log in from Firefox and I was in. I don't know why for 6 months it would not let me log in from Firefox or why it suddenly started working from Firefox last week!

Re: SoCal Thirdgenners April Meeting

Whether I bring my Trans Am or the green border patrol vehicle will depend on if I get my top radiator support bracket back from the paint shop in time.

Re: SoCal Thirdgenners April Meeting

I am not racing this weekend but am thinking on going up to Irwindale anyways for the races that start at 7:00pm. I may just swing in for the meeting and say hi.

If you guys are still on the fence with the date, I can see if I can get several free ticket for our race on April 18th if you guys want to try and push the meeting to that Saturday. Or maybe one of these up coming Staurdays someone book the car club event at Irwindale and get special parking and free entrance for all club members. You get to do the parade laps also. Kevin Lawson, Tom, Jon, and I have done this in the past with the Corvette club, its alot of fun.

ps- last week we won the feature race ofthe night. They are so far calling it the race of the season. What a night! Lovely track pic that looks like Mason is picking my nose in the winners circle--haha, wonderful.

Dean
crewcheif
Mason Britton Racing
Roy and Dots Towing/ Supertruck Inc Chev S10 Supertruck
NASCAR King Taco Series Supertruck
2nd in points baby! 2 point off the lead.

Nice pic Dean. Congrats on the win.

top radiator support bracket back from the paint shop in time.
You painted that support?

Bring the green one, I have a few places we can cruise and watch them run.

Re: SoCal Thirdgenners April Meeting

Sure did have it painted. Semi-gloss powdered coated to boot. The paint shop just called and said the radiator support is painted and ready for pick up. Looks like I will be driving the Trams Am to the meeting.

We're a go for this Saturday the 11th at 6pm.

If you want to meet at Don's shop in Orange before hand, and cruise with us, be there no later than 5pm. We'll be heading up the 57 north to the 60 west.

Re: SoCal Thirdgenners April Meeting

I'm glad the venue worked out well for us. We decided to return. Unfortunately, when I checked with the manager I found out the room was already booked for the first Saturday in June, so we'll be meeting back at Mimi's on the second Saturday in June. I've booked us for the first Saturday of the even months August through December. We had a good turnout tonight.

BTW that vert I mentioned in San Juan Cap has over 300K miles on it. No engine or or other work done to the car so everything is wore out.

Re: SoCal Thirdgenners April Meeting

John has one too, it's just way too low and tucked too far under the nose to be seen easily. My Firebird has one, but I can only hope it will be ready for it's smog check in July.

Besdies, Mike stuck his front license plate up some Hundyai's asre and did not have the lube to get it back out.

(I love you Mikey, I am sure some kind of repulsively humourous statement will folow.)

Re: SoCal Thirdgenners April Meeting

I had a much better offer that night, something to do with handcuffs and a battoon. I had to train a new recruit. Oh the single life- unpredictble at times....fun.....and unpredictable. Women in Red Corvettes, use me and throw me to the curb...


...OH speaking of curbs..... ....you boys need to learn that the cars at Slicktrack go UNDER the curbs, not over them. I have had to walk over many times helping those gents that work there pry a victum out from under the rails.
