One of the parks outside of Flint would be nice. Maybe Davison Regional park, or another park around town that has some grills, bathrooms and sh*t to do there.

 

interested, e-mail me if it's going to happen.

 

hey guys if its on the 5th or 6th,ill be there. ive got a stock 92 tbi but would love to make it there and see who can help me with my close thing

 

...dammit, just remembered that's homecoming weekend...

What time are you planning on holding the meet? Depending on what time I recover from partying the night before, I should be able to leave here around noon (at the earliest).

 

id be there if i wasnt leaving for the marines on the 7th

 

Ukraine Train.... any word on a final date for the meet?

I just remembered I'll be going to MSU (Lansing) on Sat. Oct 5 for their Science/Engineering Day and hopefully will be crashing w/ my cousin at MSU for the night...so either day, the 5th or 6th would work I guess. And if its on the 13th I'll try my best to pull my drunk *** outta bed and join ya guys

 

The date will be the 13th. location tba, prolly around 12 or 1pm

 

I'm interested. I live in Davison so it's just a hop skip and a jump and I'm there. Just post when and where, or better yet, if someone could e-mail me....

trickten@yahoo.com

 

Sweet.... now what the TBA and directions and im there

 

Damn, I didn't know that there were so many kettering students here. I have a second gen z28 that I drove freshman I term but was rebuilding the engine for freshman II and yesterday I finally got it up and running, I just might stop by and say hi.
Later....

 

TBA anyone??? what is this and where is it?

 

tba is to be announced. i'm not in the area right now so i dont really know a good place to have it yet. as long as the date is set i figure i can let everyone know the location a few days before the event and we'll be ok.

 

Well if we could possible set a place so i can know whats going on that'd be great. But i'll try and be there for sure.

 

ukraine train is going to find a place for it once we're up at school next week. I think he's going to try to find a nice park with some grills picnic tables etc

 

like said before davison park would be cool, or maybe flushing.... clio would work depending on how many people will be there....

 

I will attend I work in Flint live in Lapeer my son is a senior in high school he has the 3rd gen and will come if not working Ill bring the old car weather permitting.

e mail me if you need help finding a place to hold it or call me at 810 720 4931 ext 212

 

ROCKNRODS

you have mail

 

Keep in mind some of the parks have DIRT roads, I will not drive my Formula on Dirt. Not only do I avoid the stone chips, the dust is sometimes unbearable...

I think Davison had dirt last time I was there, Flushing Park was paved.... Something to consider

Please don't get a place with dirt roads...

John

 

i will check them out this monday or tuesday and let you know. do you know the nearest intersection by flushing park so i can look it up on mapquest? thanks

 

there are 2 parks in Flushing:

Flushing Park has Paved Roads with Stone parking, some grass, On McKinley Rd Close to Carpenter Rd. They have Some (not many) cooking thingies.

Riverview Park is in Flushing itself, and I believe it has a Paved Parking lot, no cooking thingies that I know of, there is however an A&W right there... I think that one is on Cherry, just south of Main St.

Other Possiblities:
Whaley Park
is on the End of Richfield Rd, on Franklin Ave. Easiest way to get there is to take I475, get off at the Stewart Ave/ Dort Hwy Exit, and go East, Go south on Dort Hwy, and take a right on Franklin... I think that park is All paved. the Area is ok, not the best, but with as many folks as were having we will have no problems. Not sure about the cooking thingies...

Kearsely Park
has a Pavilion, But, the parking lot is very small, not to mention there working on the park itself... No Cooking thingies either (that i am aware of). That park again is in an ok part of town, on your map, look for Keasley Park Blvd & Iowa Ave.
easiest way to get there would be to take I-475 and exit Longway, Go EAST 0n Longway, About a 1/2 mile, turn Left onto Kearsley Park Blvd, and follow it around, the Pavilion is on the left past the "S" curve"

Clio Park
Has a couple of Pavilions, a nice play area for kids, I think there is a couple of Cooking thingies, and its paved, not alot of parking, but we could make due. I think there is a few cookers.
Easiest way is to get there is to take I-75 to Exit 131 and take Vieanna Rd EAST, go into clio and turn NORTH onto Mill Street (Clio Rd) and once across the stream take a right into the park.

Mott Park
Forget it, IMO there is no Parking to speak of...

hope that helps...

John

 

Clio Park, has cookers, there is paved parking for about 15-20 cars, theres a pavilion and i believe 2 grills at that pavilion, theres other parking but its on dirt and about 60-70 away from the paved area... home i helped.

 

hey guys.... im at kettering rite now. my # is 8217. let me know where/when the meet is gonna be. when u guys get here gimme a call so we can meet up... i wanna check out the thirdgens

 

Well, my camaro is still out of commission yet and in Wisconsin, so I was wondering if I could hitch a ride with a fellow Ketting Student to where ever we decide to meet.

Thanks

 

i'll give you a ride, where do you live?

 

so is this ever going to happen or was it next october you're talking about??

 

its happening this sunday, ukraine train is out right now scoping out area parks.

 

Alright guys, here's the game plan. Meet at noon on sunday at Riverview Park in Flushing. The address of the A&W restaurant right at the entrance is 200 south cherry street, you can use this address to get directions. As a point of reference, there's a BP station about 500yards east of Cherry st. on main street at the corner of mckinley so when you see BP start lookin for Cherry st. Food will be bring your own, doesn't look like there are any grills. There is a pavillion and picnic tables. It's also freshly paved. If it looks like it's gonna rain Sunday morning I'll post here saying the gathering's cancelled. If anyone can't use mapquest.com or yahoo maps to get directions then post here with your starting address and i'll get you some.

if any of the kettering guys know who has a black 91-92 RS at the dorm let them know about this, I saw it today and stuck a note under the wiper to email me. If anyone else knows people with thirdgens let them know and bring your friends.

I'll see ya'll sunday.
alex

 

I think i may have recruited two people today that i go to school with here in clio...

- 87 Formula, blue and gray
- 89 RS Red hardtop, IMMACULATE!!!! i believe it has a lt1 and a muncie 4 speed... its really really nice!!

 

 

where's the list........?

 

well bad news, the kid with the 89 rs cant make it, that sucks becuase it is really nice..

 

ummm... like where was everyone??? I was there about 1:45, a little alte I know, but I expected to see at least someone...

I did see a Black with white striped Z28 leaving town when I was driving in, but that was it...

Did I go to the wrong park???

oh well...

l8r

John

 

well i was there with xmind2006(he didnt have his car, i picked him up) and slickrock55 and then a couple more guys showed up in a regal..... so there were only two thirdgens. we waited til 1 and no one else showed so we left. the black and white camaro you saw was the guy that i was supposed to meet at 11:30 at the dorm but he never showed up, guess he drove out later. oh well, it was damn cold anyway. maybe we'll try this again in the spring when it's warm

 

looked like a beautiful day to me.......

i was waiting on a sure fire list of who would be out there; since nothing was posted the 10 of us stayed local; we would have been upset driving 1 1/2 for nothing.

all of you are more then welcome to come out to the "other" gathering this weekend......weather permiting of course.

 

cfabe and i will be in cleveland this weekend so we're out

 

I was there at 1:50 no one in site
Didn't see any third gens coming or going.
was driving my 68 convertable my son had to work .Would have been there at 12 but my dad needed help dragin out the 8 piont

 

sounds like several people showed up but not at the same time... I was thinking, maybe we should set up an official car show... have trophees & everything. 82-92 Firebirds & Camaros only....

John

 

i'd win 'nastiest looking headers' lol

 

you mean something like superchevy........or maybe camaro superfest..........or maybe the transam nationals........or maybe a combination of everything?

well you'll need money, permits, money, security, money, insurance, and money........

but it can be done; put the good word out if any of you do decide to try this.

 

Here is some of the ideas that I have...

Best BASE Camaro
Best RS
Best Berlinetta
Best Z28
Best IROC-Z

Best BASE Firebird
Best S/E
Best Formula
Best T/A
Best GTA

or we can break those down into sub-gens. 82-84, 85-90, 91-92

Best Paint
Best Interior
Best Engine

Most Potential

Best of Show

hey all you kettering students......are you guys in that firebird car club?

i gotta friend that goes there( owns a red 94Z28 w/big red bowtie in rear window).....and i checked out the college last year and thought it was really cool but i really liked the car club.....so i was wondering if u guys could give me a little more feedback on that.......i still plan on sending in an application to kettering so who knows maybe there will b another third gen there next year .......84TA....

 

cfabe and i are in the firebirds club, although we havent been to any events yet since both our cars are in storage already and last spring term i was still putting my car together and never made it out and cfabe was doing work on his car. we'll both go to the events this springs though. they do auto cross, car shows, drag racing and i think rally. as far as kettering, it's the perfect place for a gearhead. cfabe and i are both on the mini baja team, we basically design and build a big 10hp off road go kart and go to competitions. there's also formula SAE where they build a motorcylce engine powered race car, they went to england over the summer for competition. there's also clean snowmobile challenge where you have to modify a snowmobile to be clean-burning yet be powerful. flint itself is kinda crappy but it's not too bad. also, only about 20% of the students are girls so that's kind of a drag. oh, and it's also not an easy school, you better be ready to work. because of short terms, each class meets four hours/week where as in a traditional college it's only three hours/week. i think just recently we were rated as one of the top 5 or 10 engineering schools in the country.

 

I am in the Firebirds Club as well. Let me tell you that just because you don't have your thirdgen running doesn't mean you can't come and compete. My first term I brought a POS '88 ford escort gt and even though it wasn't as fun as my Iroc could have been it still was a blast beating on that car. The Firebirds club is a car enthusiast club so if you can think of a vehicle it will most likely be there at these events. There was a pretty good turn out for the autocross last weekend ~30 cars were there that ran through the course.

Do you need to be a Kettering Student to be a part of the firebirds???

JOHN

 

yep, it's school sponsored so you gotta be a student

 

 

you could always apply for admission to the school and take classes. that way you can be a member of firebirds and it'll be like paying 19 grand a year for membership lol

 

ohh ohh, can I...PPPLLLEEASSSE????


NOT!

I did my College time... 6 1/2 Years BABY!!!

...and I still can't spell.
