Although I'm new to the board; You can count me in. Just decide where and I'm there.

 

U guys sound like you have Fords (found on road dead) if you cant drive it hard then you dont need it.. and the best RIbb place at Boomerangs in Solomons.. Later... mark i found a plac place waiting on details

 

I dont know about you, but if I drive the 350 or so miles, I dont want to be towed back. Its like homework, I got up early to do it all, and here I am. I have no intention of actually doing it at this hour of the morning, and got up early to not feel guilty. i will go down there, saying I wont race, and I know I will anyways no matter what i say.

Northern Maryland is much better than Southern Maryland. Im looking at a 5 hour drive, and thats semi feasible. I dont know if I'd go the extra hour and a half to southern Maryland. That is quite far.

 

I'm getting kind of frustrated right now, sorry I have to vent.

Seems like a lot of people still haven't emailed me with the info I need, so now I have to check who has and who hasn't , which is going to be a lot of work.

Then on top of that I copied down some emails wrong, so I have to trace my steps back to fix that.

 

How about Memorial Day weekend for the date? Most people would have a long weekend, you could leave on Friday and then have Saturday and Sunday to hang out, then leave on Monday. I think this would be good especially for people driving longer distances.

 

I agree to Memorial Day wknd too. I second that!!!!!!:hail:

 

Maybe if you guys had a TV in your car driving a long distance wouldn't be a problem.....

j/k

I'm driving to Maryland and that's from Miami FL, I don't even want to find out how long it is.........although i'm gonna be making it a two purpose trip, this meet and staying with my dad in D.C.

 

Memorial Day huh, I figured a lot wouldn't make it cause of time with the family, maybe I'll send out an email and reactions...

 

I can't do Memorial day weekend, there is a Huge, and I mean Huge biker rally in DC that weekend, something like 300,000 to 400,000 bikers. i go to that every year. call it Rolling Thunder. It's a POW/MIA thing
biker

 

hell florida? 2 day trip
i wanna see your ride pretty bad

memorial day would be cool, i could take that weekend. i think. maybe ill bring my dad by too, hes all into the camaro stuff too


thanks
mike

 

I made Key West, Fl. to Wash.,D.C. in 23 hrs. It is a tough trip but U can handle it. What part of Fla. are you coming from?

 

you guys are crazy.... going to the DC area on memorial day! after sept. 11th! right, we better just come up with another day... crazy bastads! jp

 

Memorial Day i probably woudnt be able to make i dont believe. Plus that would be a crazy weekend for traveling. a non holiday weekend would probably be best.

 

Yeah, I'm not doin it Mem Day weekend.

 

Yeah memorial day weekend sounds like a very bad idea. I cant stand traffic as in during the holidays it would be horrible. i say early june would be our best bet because everyone would be out of school and it wont be to terribly hot yet.

Im going wherever it is...well if my car ever gets back together anyways....

 

Fort Lauderdale.......

 

You should be able to do it in 16-17 hrs. then. I did forget to mention that I was by my-self, so I didn't have to stop for this or that. You know how women can be on a trip(bathroom,souvniers,sightseeing,bathroom,food,drinks,bathroom) You get the idea. Be carefull and be SAFE !!

 

and more bathroom ...... more bathroom.......... and more bathroom!!!!

 

By the way; Nice looking ride. and more bathroom.........bathroom............hey can we stop at that mall,ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh look, can we go there LOL: doh:

 

I'm not taking any girl with me............... ..I'll be taking it bymyself and i'll have a TV to keep me company.......

and a whole lotta speeding.....

 

FLYNLOW92rs; with a nice ride like that and girls,girls,girls,and ps2 how do you NOT need a job?? Tell me how

 

Leave the ps2 O F F . dont want you playing any turbo games, know what I mean ????

 

June sounds like a good time ill be done school so that cool with me. and my b-day is in june. Ill have my ram air hood by then

 

Memorial day is no good for me. Super Chevy Show, New England Dragway, Epping New Hampshire

 

i think if i go i might rent a truck and barow a tralier and trailer my car down becuz i dont like to drive for hours on end in my car becuz i know either something will brake or something will happen to get me worried about me making it home. but im also hoping to have my new engine put in by then so ill need the trailer becuz i dont think a supercharged 355 will make it down or up or to where ever this shindig is goin to be.

 

bathroom break

 

We should play Ultimate!! We could have some great games, since the will definitely be enough people!! Not to mention swapping third-gen tips with each other...no telling how much knowledge there is going to be there collectively!

PS: sorry if these things have already been suggested, I haven't gotten to read all ELEVEN PAGES of this thread yet! I will though!

 

what is ultimate?

 

ultimate frezbe or how ever u spell it

 

Yeah man, Ultimate Frisbie is badass! It's like football with a frisbie! Thats about as basic as I can make it!

You know we couldn't burn rubber or show off if we get a police escort!! Unless we get the "parade" designation and that gives us "special" authorization to burn-out. Kind of how at mardi-gras parades they can throw all kinds of crap at the people standing there, basically trashing the streets. And if its a publicized event then maybe there will be people standing along the road watching us go by like a normal parade. That would be pretty tight.

And about some of you having engine problems after you get to the meet....WTF?!?! You dont think that 100+ third gen experts couldn't get you running in 10 minutes? But if you don't want to risk it...ehh

The whole point of me keeping this car, my first ever, too, was the ability to cruise around. My upgrades and mods are aimed not simply at muscle and power, but at mpg efficiency. I so far maintain 18-24 mpg. That's why I have so many miles on it! I just don't see how your babies could bring you all the way to the meet, and then leave you stranded. She's never left me stranded yet, and I don't believe that she ever will!

And about the airstrip, we HAVE to do that!! Screw getting official times! We can go for half-mile races! Oh, man! 4+ car races! Oh, my! The possibilities are endless! Not to mention that there wont be any strip official rules so we can make up our own!

And DragRacerArt's club is a great place to have the campout and whatnot. Why not? I say GO!

AND: (no I'm not finished yet, I just finished reading all 11 pages of this beast! ) All the other guys coming up through FLorida and Georgia!! Lets caravan our way up! We can meet up at places along Interstate 75. I live in Wildwood, which means I will be joining the group right where 75 meets the turnpike. What do you guys say? Group speeding? Combine the power of our police detection abilities?

 

i am confident that my baby would make it... she has been pamperd her life... except for the occasional run at the track recently... but... besides that... she will make it... all in honor of my friend erik.... im doin it for him.... cause he would do it for me..

 

I'd say, my boss, the Chief of Poice would really be pissed at me!!!

 

hell your a cop you could get them out of it!!!!!!

No road head for you.

 

There is a local third gen club here in central florida/Ocala region. Should I invite them? Or are we getting to be too big of a group already?

 

Get them all out of it in Va maybe...but those MD troopers...!!!

Heck, invite everyone with a thirdgen..the more...the better I say. I was in the autoparts store this weekend (Who'd guess that) and when buying parts, the clerk said he had a 89 T/A, took me outside to see it, told him about the meet...He's ready to go now! All excited, never even been on the website before. How many others like him out there and don't have a clue this event is in the planning. Tell 'em all!!!

 

Get them, I look at it like this, the more the merrier.

Honestly though, I don't want to over book this, but I figure on a 30% no show rate ne ways.

Be sure they contact me though, with info I need to put them on my up date list, and that way I can see how many are coming.

 

exactly, if you could, next time you go there, make sure he gets my email addy so I can put him on the list.

 

hey mark I saw earlies today u only had 12,222.! what u only posted 40 times today

 

Mark any updates on when the dates of the meet are going to be???....Doesn't have to be exact just a rough guess??

(HINT: mid to late June)

 

early June, I believe mid june is GM Nat'ls in Carlisle, maybe it's late june though, not sure yet.

i gotta get my butt movin and get the date set.

YEA you do !!!! We are all paitently waiting your humble services:hail: So get you big a$$ in gear. LOL

 

I say right after the snow melts!! why wait for the summer!:lala:

 

I called the park today finally, the one with the fairgrounds.

The prk manager should be calling me back Mon, telling me if I can have the event there, and allow overnite camping,
only problem right now, is htey don't have shower facilities.

Maybe the people that rent hotel rooms, would lend out the showers for a few bucks maybe??? think the hotel would catch on?

 

you should just sit down and decide on a place & time onec & for all. your not going to please everybody, and most likely there will be other events close to/around the gathering.

Establish the date & gofrom there. give people a timeframe to plan for. It will happen.

 

that's what I was doing when I called the fairgrounds, but the park manager wasn't there, and will call me back Mon, I have to make reservations for this before I can set a date.

 

the "lent out" showers idea can work, but only if you make a schedule. Kind of like a first come first serve signup sheet. What else could ya do?

 

What did you have in mind as far as food? Pig roast? Everyone bring a grille and t-bones?

 

I'll work that out later, rigth now I'm thinkin, have everyone send in like $5-10 or so, and what I'll do is have some guys from MD, buy and bring the food, and I'll reimburse them.

I'll see about that later though.

 

You should set up a pay-pal account so we can send you money easily when you need it.
