I live down in Gulfport. There's always some kind of cruise-in down here. I've never been to the track in Byram or Hub city. I always go to Gulfport dragway. Maybe we can get a bunch of us together at one of the tracks. Gulfport dragway always has something going on.

I'm right in the middle in Hattiesburg. I know of several in Jackson and another guy here in the hub city. We should plan something sometime.

My car is unfortunately still in the body shop.. Oh well..

There are a few meets I hear about from time to time. A bunch of truck guys get together every month or so in Byram. Also, I was talkin to a buddy of mine last weekend, and he said there was a decent size gathering somewhere in Byram too, and it usually happens once a month also. (Ivon, that might be the one you saw, Did you happen to see a purple 88-98 Chevy truck?) Saturday would be alright, if I could make it, mid-morning would probably be the best, since I'm out working in the afternoon. Just let me know. I'll let y'all know next time I hear of any get-togethers in the Jackson area.

Shroom, get some pictures of that bad boy! Is your avitar you're actual car, or are those rims photochoped? I know you picked up some 17s that looked like that. I'm glad you got the green 'bird after reading about that whole ordeal with the yellow one!

Ivon, these cars don't do too bad on long trips, mine's made it to CTC for 2 years now!

Corey, ya got me..

Aviatar is the actual car, but the rims are slightly nudged to the 17" size. I usually don't pass off photochops, but I figured no one would catch it that small.

Yeah, the drive back from Michigan didn't have any issues, I just had to drive it off in the woods in my hometown.. I've got all the newly painted GFX and back bumper in my garage and I'm just waiting for him to get on the body. Everything's being stripped down to metal and repainted the stock color. The RA1 hood is looking pretty good in primer too!

Anytime on any weekend is good for me, though I may be in an Accord for the next few months..

As of right now i am trying to think of a place to do it! I dont want it to be to far out of the way but i dont want to be in the way!
If the parking lot was bigger i would ask the boss if we could hold it there but we have a small parking lot!
Anybody have any ideas as to where we can have this thing? please let me know! i guess we could do it at one of the local drag strips like Byram or Canton!
Let me know!

Junkjard has test and tune on Friday nights, its $10 to run and $5 general admission. Byram is too short of a track,I think its like 500 feet or less from start to finish so I don't care for that. I'll check on Tuscola moter sports at Lena, They were gonna open back up last month after storm damage back in the fall. That would be a good place being its a full 1/4 mile instead of 1/8.

I have an RV dealership with 3acres of parking near the airport if everyone just wants to meet. Otherwise we could all go to Byram one night if for no other reason than to have a good thirdgen showing out there. How about this weekend? My lower spoiler should be back from the paint shop by then.

It's on old whitfield rd. If you're headed east look to the right about 3/4 mile before the airport rd. exit and you'll see the motorhomes parked out there.

The car is supposed to go into the paint booth Monday. Depending upon what I can get done Tuesday through Friday, I might be able to make it..

Since the next Monday is Memorial day, and some people might have off, what about doing it Sunday? That seems like it will help some people and give me one more day to get some things together I'm pretty sure the interior will consist of a driver's seat and a seatbelt, but the exterior should look good..

Car's not going to paint until tomorrow or Thursday now Since the whole front end was messed up the RA1 hood is linning up real good! He's adding a bit to one front edge to get the lines perfect though, I guess I can wait for that.

How about moving the meeting to Hattiesburg and everyone can help put the car back together..

this has been a while back since I saw it out there. It could have been the previous owner. A pink 1st gen bird is hard to miss.

Hey Shr00m, I feel your pain. My IROC was in the shop almost a year. Had to threaten a lawsuit for them to finally get it done.

I'm about to pick the car up tonight. No chance of me making it up there anytime. Perhaps everyone got excited and then remembered other plans for the holiday. Should we rescheldule it for everyone else?
