**JUN 6-8** KC's Summer 08 Meet (UPDATE: 5-8)

[2TonCat]

SUGGESTED HOTEL:
Unfortunately, they only give discounts when getting 10 rooms or more. We're not quite large enough for the discount this year since ~80% of us are from KC :( Brad and Andy both liked this hotel, and it is close to the festivities.

4th of July Weekend is probably out for alot of people cuz of the holiday.

June 20-22 is out for me cuz that's my dad's birthday. And there will be a weekend in July that will be out since I'll be headed to Minneapolis.

I'm not sure of the dates right off hand, but early June is Hot Rod Power Tour.

Racing doesn't matter to me. It's usually hot in June and July so I figure I'll run like crap if I go. I'm not stopping from anyone else from going - but just saying I don't have the intention of racing. I'd be up for a BBQ, maybe a cruise - but with some rules set up ahead of time and an easy route to follow. Photoshoot is always good - with some locations setup ahead of time to keep us from driving around like mad :p Bench (or trailer) racing is always good.

-Melon

[Nettlesd]

How about doing some sort of catered event? Maybe KFC, Smoke House, Subway/Good Cents or something else. Once a date, location and type of food is decided, then for everyone attending, money will be due 2 months out from that date.

Oh, I'm good to go any date that is decided upon.

[2TonCat]

Hmm... I like the idea, but what do we do to account for the people who wind up comming that don't post? I dont' want to alienate anyone by not having enough food for em'.

[Nettlesd]

How would they know about the event without knowing about the post? Once it's decided that the event is catered, then if they learn about the event from another person (without viewing this post) then that person should tell them that the event is catered and they have to turn in some money by a certain time frame.

[2TonCat]

People that don't read the post and decide to come until the day before.... I did this in 06 when I first showed up.

People that 'aren't comming' and then show up because they figgure out they can (tyler).

The one random person we flag down to come join us when we're at custards (has happened every time)

I don't know. Just a thought.

[Nettlesd]

Well then, we account for X number of extra people and split the cost across the number of people who are paying. I'm sure we can figure something out if we decide to go this route.

[2TonCat]

Fine with me. I eat like a crackhead anyway.

[eli66048]

Don't plan the event around our timeframes. Pick a date that say, has a car show scheduled somewhere to attend. VTC? (or some other event everyone would enjoy) Then plan the meet around that. Then we can plan for the meet ourselves.
You're right, if we cater there won't be food for extras but, if we cook out somewhere there will be plenty for everyone.
Cruising around KC is out as far as I'm concerned. You guys can do that at night.
The track should be a mandatory event! A thought though....do we have fire retardant jackets to use?

Danny

[2TonCat]

What does everyone else thing about just setting a date this time? Should we set one perminantly for this meet? Like 2nd weekend of july?

I'll be at KCIR before this meet hits, so I'll see if I can pass one of my normal jackets off as fire retardant.

[Kurt K]

In my experience setting up meets in St Louis, you will never be able to accomodate everyone. So, like it's already been said, pick a date around some event and be done with it. Of course, it would be nice to pick something that works for the majority of the local people. Everything else will fall into place.

[351cat]

i should be available any weekend, just cant get out on the weekdays, dang job. haha

[traveler]

June 6-8 works for me.... and every OTHER weekend after that. (Unless I get a good ol' fashioned Mon-Fri 9-5er before then ;) )

As far as events.... I love to eat, barbeque is good (I mean it IS Kansas City after all!!) I'd love to go to the races, but do we really need a fire retardent jacket? We can race at MoKan without even a helmet (unless your car dips below 13:00) Cruising sounds great, and of course a photoshoot.... Ok, I'll just say I'm up for whatever happens..

Last time I was @ KCIR & I was reading the next year notes, The Jackets were required for "forced induction" cars.

[007_SuperCoupe]

That time of the year is already filling up significantly for me. The weekends I CANNOT attend are:
June 13-15 and June 20-22: Boy Scout's Summer Camp (My son it one)
July 4-6: for obvious reasons
July 11-13: Annual local car show that I plan on attending
July 25-27: Boy Scout's High Adventure Trip

So I'm basically available only for 4 weekends out of that time period. If it's on an open weekend, great, if not, hope to make it next year.

PS I'm planning on this being my one travel to event of the year...

As for activities, I'm not at all into racing really. That's a lot of stuff that I need to purchase that I don't currently have. (I thought the jackets were required for vehicles that had an aftermarket supercharger...factory superchargers were exempt...but that's just what I heard a couple years ago...) A BBQ would be cool (maybe at an area park where we can "rent" a pavilion and have ample parking around it...hence the photo shoot too.. :) Catering food won't really work too well because of the last minute people. A show-n-shine car show would be nice, but not needed. As for the cruise, I think simply planning it around events is what should be done... i.e. BBQ at the park...cruise from hotel location to park, eat, photo shoot, cruise back to hotel area. Something like that. It simplifies the process by combining a couple things together. What I like about these things is the ability to just sit and chill. I don't want this to be like a shootout with lots of scheduled things to keep you busy. I like being able to drop the lawn chair down, pop a few cold ones and just get to know my fellow enthusiasts from the region. That's what we did a couple years ago and I really liked it. Man, we had a lot of 600 hp beasts in attendance that year!

Anyway, planners make a plan. If it works, I'm planning on being there with the SC. It looks better than it did 2 years ago... :)

[2TonCat]

Edit: Nevermind. those were old.

Jason, do you have any info on the VTKC meets this year?

[thunderbird96]

[2TonCat]

Oh, not planned yet :/ Guess we're a little ahead of the game :D

Just got your message btw. I'm assuming its a little late to call you back.

[traveler]

Hey, if we're scheduling our summer, lets not forget about this one.

http://www.sccoa.com/forums/showthread.php?t=94544

[TSC89]

The only weekend I know of that I will not be available is June 28 & 29.

[Melon]

So looking at the weekends that are left, the only one that doesn't have anything next to it is the first weekend in June and middle of July - but Ryan didn't mark that I'll probably be in Minnesota that weekend :D

Any thought on this? The sooner a date is set, the sooner we can start getting time off from work :p

-Melon

[2TonCat]

I'm waiting to see if there are any VTKC shows that we can crash. They haven't planned anything yet though. If you guys know of other shows we can go to, let me know.

[351cat]

help me out guys... i'm a noob. vtkc= ??? lol

[Melon]

VTKC is Vintange Thunderbird club of Kansas City.. or something like it :D

-Melon

[351cat]

ahh, i see.

[thunderbird96]

way to go melon's you got it right. you get the cookie.

[SuperCharged91]

Vintage T-Birds?!?! :D

[thunderbird96]

yes but they accept all years

[2TonCat]

Yeah... The Vintage club gets all of the good meeting spots because they are classic cars... We raid their meets, and draw even more people..... They look over, and see that OUR cars have a good following too, and that they can be made damn nice :)

[SuperCharged91]

Yeah with my two-tone paint job Clear coat failure FTW

[2TonCat]

Hehe... Paint it matte black with two clearcoated red stripes down the middle. Then get chrome rims. Baller on the cheap :)

The SuperStang idea is still interesting to me....

Take a 94/95 v6 5-speed with a blown motor
Pull blown motor out
Buy supercoupe motor
Put motor mounts and flywheel on supercoupe motor
Put 95 front cover, reluctor wheel, and HB on SC Motor
Get EDIS unit for it out of 98 ranger v6
Put motor in mustang
Plumb intercooler
Wire megasquirt in
Tune it
Baller status on the $$$

[thunderbird96]

ryan not to be a dick but your last post belongs in the chatter thread.
let's keep this one like the title says.

[2TonCat]

EDIT: Move it then.

[thunderbird96]

don't know how,but this one post can slide. but is a cool idea

[Thunder95]

don't know how,but this one post can slide. but is a cool idea

Dood who the hell are you to tell him not to spam HIS OWN THREAD?!!! Thank you your highness for letting "this one slide" oh mighty KC chapter director. You're not exactly the mother Teresa of model posting yourself. It even says chatter in the title.

-Joel

[Melon]

Hopefully the Vintage guys down there are more welcome to newer 'Birds than the ones up here. From what I've seen - we (MN12's) are next to the devil.. and then when we mod our cars, it ensures our trip to hell :D

-Melon

[SuperCharged91]

But are cars dont like heat lol

Couldnt have said it better myself. Muah hahaha. Silly kids, lol.

[Melon]

I realize this doesn't belong here either... but it's been a while since a dick waving contest arose so I'm kinda waiting for one of those again. Jason stands on one side of the field, and whoever he's arguing with stands on the other side and yells "I have a bigger dick!" "No, I have a bigger dick!" and it goes on for a page or so.

-Melon

[Thunder95]

Dick waving is talking about whose car is bigger or better. This is telling Jason when to stfu... like you did last time in my front yard when he was bitching about his sc.

-Joel

[thunderbird96]

i really don't care joel what you say so go the hell back to your corner. as far as what i posted was a little bit of a joke /and was stating what ryan said acouple posts awhile back that it would be nice to keep atleast some threads to what are as titled. so go away and shoosh.

[Melon]

"My dick is bigger"

"No, my dick is bigger!"

"NO! Mine is!"

"No, Mine!"

:rolleyes:

Anyway... Any thoughts on the date? Or waiting to see what shows come up to maybe give us something else to do while we're there?

-Melon

[thunderbird96]

well the planning meeting is when vtkc set's up or talk's about shows that members want to attend. I am a member of vtkc they gladly except all year birds vtkc is chapter of vtci vintage thunderbird club international. we know have a wichita chapter also.

[thunderbird96]

I do have a bigger dick than joel. I don't wave in front of him it might turn him on.
I am not a doodo chaser.

[Melon]

I am not a doodo chaser.

So your saying that your usually the chasee?

And you may have the bigger dick (which I don't want proof of by the way), but Joel has a cuter fiance :D

-Melon

[traveler]

All right guys, let it rest. If there's one thing I have learned working in the field of Mental health, its that banter like this dies more quickly when its dropped by ALL parties! (I get to stop arguements and fights almost everyday) Just let this thread go back to planning our summer events (and planning this far in advance is one of the better ideas I've heard in a while). Stop placing blame, waving dicks, telling others to STFU, and go to hell. Just let it end without comment.

Now, where were we....

Oh yea, anyone interested in the Big Tulsa meet? :D

[SuperCharged91]

I BLAME YOU

*Waves dick*


STFU Trav


AND GOTO HELL


lol j/k i am a smartass

[Melon]

Here's another thought.. I'm not saying that we don't have a meet in KC - but what about having one in Witchita? Depending on when it's planned - we may be able to get some people from Colorado to come? Only bringing up the idea since Sam and myself were discussng it the other day.

We're (local Nebraska guys) are having a meet tonight and are gonna run across idea's for events for this coming year too.

-Melon

[SuperCharged91]

I like the Idea of a Wichita meet. Meet some were have lunch/or Dinner, B-S,photoshoot, then we goto the track at night

[traveler]

Sounds good to me. I've got connections in Wichita as well. ;)

And I'm sure Tony would be more likely to attend in Wichita than in KC, as well as the other Coloradans.

[eli66048]

Works for me. Rather do lots of small events than just one big one.

Oh how I agree, I do have the homestead for the birds to roost (drivers too). It would be a 3 day event just to go,do & see with out the rush. Everyone that made it by last Aug. can post-up & there is a nice hotel close by too.
There is a lot of things here just ask. Drag strip,solo2,Pick&pull(s),Food,Lake,to name a few.

[thunderbird96]

yea would be great to have a meet there.
I will be in salina the last weekend in march. so it's not to far for me.

[Thunder95]

Sounds good to me too, I'd love to make it out to a Wichita for a meet.

Count me and my 95 there.

-Joel

[traveler]

Set a date, and make sure its warm!

[Melon]

We'll need to figure out when the KC meet is going on so we can set a date for a meet in Witchita.

Any idea on a date for KC, Ryan? And Matt - I assume you'll semi-head the Witchita meet since it's in your own backyard? Got a date for anything going on there? Car shows, solo's etc?

-Melon

[sinhumane]

wow jon, your post looked like one of marcs.. lol. so, anyone up for a late summer meet here in wichita? maybe an august carshow? :)

I haven't read the past 5 pages of this post, as I am sure it is waay off topic. But, here is a just an idea that I thought I would toss out there.

The HotRod Power Tour will be in Topeka on Monday, June 9th, and then move up to Lincoln on the 10th. Maybe an event June 7-8 would be good, and then for those who want to, could make a stop or two of the Power Tour? Just a thought.

Updated the first post...

Looks like these dates are the best options to me... Let me know your thoughts please:

JUNE:

well, i guess you wouldnt understand having to pay bills... living in your parents basement and all, no financial responsibility... must be nice. i was trying my hardest to make it work, without the circumstances being too unreal.. i've got like 5 bucks in my pocket, and i'm eating ramen for lunch. i got dealt a bad deal with my last job, and i'm trying to get caught up again.

excuse the ~~~~ out of me for having priorities.

guess who isnt getting help with sparkplugs? your fat ~~~ can crawl under there and actually do something for yourself this time.

Tyler, Melon is doing it RIGHT. Not leaving home when he's 18 so he can be swallowed up in debt. No responsibility?! HA! He actually KEEPS his cars for more than a couple months (all 4 of them). Haven't you lost like 3 cars cause you haven't made the payments? You talk about priorities, but what are they? Modding your sc (exhaust,tips,etc)? You're eating ramen because you CHOOSE to. Period.

-Joel

[SuperCharged91]

Yeah Joel your right to a point but even if Tyler made that choice it in no way gives Jason the right to talk ~~~~ like he did

[sinhumane]

SHE bought the car.. its HER credit thats ~~~~ed this time.. and it was ONE car she let go. not three.. get your ~~~~ign facts before you start your melodramatic, overreactive ~~~~~~~~. so, youre DEFENDING jason for being a LEECH?

He was talking about Jason.

[351cat]

i thought this was a meet planning thread... hmm...

[Thunder95]

Melon posted, then Tyler's was right after it... thats why I thought it was like that.

Yeah Joel your right to a point but even if Tyler made that choice it in no way gives Jason the right to talk ~~~~ like he did

Agreed, I wasn't defending Jason. I thought he was talkin' to Melon. Oops.

SHE bought the car.. its HER credit thats ~~~~ed this time.. and it was ONE car she let go. not three.. get your ~~~~ign facts before you start your melodramatic, overreactive ~~~~~~~~. so, youre DEFENDING jason for being a LEECH?

That being said, you're gonna marry her right? Thats on your plate pal. The Mustang, the Focus, I don't care. You had a say in those descisions and they were bad ones. You say her credit is the one that is ~~~~ed this time, wow... way to take care of your girl. How am I being overreactive, and melodramatic? Cause I called you out? You're the one that made this bed pal. And i wasn't defending Jason, thought it was Melon... blah blah... ~~~~.

He was talking about Jason.

OK I get the ~~~~ing point man geez, I can't read!!!

lol, summer meet/chatter.. i'm sick of the ~~~~~~~~, so i'm gonna chat a little bit. ;)


joel, she took this car upon herself. accepted the resposibility of patching her credit up and makig those payments. i wasnt getting involved in this one.

jason... when was the last time you were in the proximity of a female that was even remotely attracted to you?

[351cat]

I was just desperatly trying to change the subject, lol... you guys get pretty mean sometimes... what a-holes... :rolleyes:;)

[Melon]

Yes Tyler.. my post was directed at Jason... and yours better have been too.

Btw - thanks Joel for the kind words :)

-Melon

Also - my first thought was that Tyler's post was pointed at me.. but the spark plug comment made me think twice. Even if I did need help with spark plugs on an SC - I wouldn't expect Tyler to drive to Nebraska just to do 'em :p

[thunderbird96]

TYLER I REALLY DON'T CARE IF YOU EVER COME UP HERE. If i really wanted to i can put the plugs in my self but will have the shop do them . 3 you ~~~~ing idiot i was stating you made a promise to matt to take his wife up here. Then back out at the last minute. I realize you have bills but when you make a promise keep it for once.

[Thunder95]

I was just desperatly trying to change the subject, lol... you guys get pretty mean sometimes... what a-holes... :rolleyes:;)

Hey man, this ~~~~ never would have went down if he had have kept his mouth shut about my shift boot.

Yes Tyler.. my post was directed at Jason... and yours better have been too.

Btw - thanks Joel for the kind words :)

-Melon

Word.

-Joel

[2TonCat]

Yeah Joel your right to a point but even if Tyler made that choice it in no way gives Jason the right to talk ~~~~ like he did

You've gotta understand Jason. We give him more crap than anyone here. To him, words are just words. When he (and the rest of us really) give you crap, just take it as that, and don't get soo hurt about it. What others say shouldn't matter to you anyway -- Just what you think of yourself.

I've gotta agree and disagree with Jason on this one. It wasn't cool to make plans with Matt, and then turn around and change them at the last minute... Or do the same with duane as well..... Money was an issue this time and typically is with these things... Nothing to do with being pussy wipped though.... I'm not tyler, and I cant speak for his financial situation. I see two things -- He's inquiring into things he can't afford, but he isn't buying them & his girlfriend who is living with him just bought a new car which she probably puts all of her paychecks towards. What's that tell you about living expenses? When is it time to call THE SWS to pimp slap her into thinking straight and buying a ~~~~ING USED CAR?? I do disagree with Jason though... Don't remember her being that bad looking.

[351cat]

at least you have a shift boot joel, lol... (i dont, just a hole in the floor, poor planning on my part)

[Thunder95]

at least you have a shift boot joel, lol... (i dont, just a hole in the floor, poor planning on my part)

I made mine.:rolleyes:

-Joel

[351cat]

i should do that... but id just rather get a factory one. If i make it up on the 2nd, matt says he has one for me :) that'll be cool having a boot and all. :D

[Melon]

I thought about one for the 96, and then one for the 94.. but I had one in the 91 for a lil while and while it was ok - didn't seem to fit very well. If I could find one that fit very well - I'd consider it.

[Melon]

So I'll ask this again - because we're terribly off topic...

Where are we eating? And are we doing the go-karts? And if we're doing the go-karts, how about picking a place reasonably close so we don't haveta drive too far.. mostly for those of us from out of town who aren't sure of their way around.

-Melon

[thunderbird96]

there is pizza street 2 min from the go carts
as well as burger king and the bowling alley with very good food

[thunderbird96]

I will take pics of said area if wanted as well as sadlers.
but im not racing in them.

Looks like these dates are the best options to me... Let me know your thoughts please:

JUNE:
06-08 <-- Close by for the HRPT people
JULY:

Anyone think they could convince someone to have a car show specifically for us? lol

Hopefully to re-rail this thread lol

[Melon]

Any of those weekends work for me Ryan. Like I've said - I'll be in Minnesota July 25-27.

Not sure how thrilled work will do to me to take 2 weekends off in a row in July :D

No ~~~~ on that one man... Can get some good work done on the weekends... I've been spending mine only on sleep though unfortunately. Got some progress made this last weekend thanks to Jason comming over. The cat runs sooo much better :D

EDIT: Maybee others will speak up and have some good reasons to do one of the other dates.

Date isn't a huge deal to me. Just nail one down so I can get the weekend off at work.

As will I.

It won't happen though. I'm a lazy bastard (Thats being generous, too)

All I need to do is find a bung and buy a bolt and I can swap exhausts.

Might need to figgure something out with 02s as well. Just can't remember if there were bungs in the kooks or not.

Because we all know wichita is a lot colder than Kansas City :rolleyes:

no.. i was just hinting at a meet at matts place.. he has a pool :)

[thunderbird96]

i can drown tyler

[351cat]

lol... btw.. if its too hot... you can always opt for a wichita meet... matts place! :)

wichita is too far away :rolleyes:

Its called the KC meet, so wichita is out of the question :)

I dont really care, just had to chime in. Either way, the trip will probably be a break in for my new improved motor :) just wait, you'll be suprised

[traveler]

i can drown tyler

This is a great opportunity to demonstrate punctuation and inflection. We don't know what was meant... Was it:

"I can drown, Tyler", meaning "Tyler, I can't do that as I could drown in the pool"

or did you mean:

"I can drown Tyler!", as in "Hey everyone, this is a great chance to drown Tyler!"

With no inflection in a typed message, punctuation becomes even more important. :D

[thunderbird96]

i meant rub him out,as in cement over shoes

[traveler]

You want to rub cement all over Tylers shoes?? Wierd... Oh well, thats between you and Tyler. Whatever trips your trigger I guess.. :D ;):cool:

i meant rub him out

Lol, tyler, where's my video? i thought you said you were gonna send it last night. sheesh :rolleyes:

[thunderbird96]

ok we can tie tyler behind the car and drag him.
qoute from my fav movie american graffiti

[traveler]

LOL The term would be "Cement Overshoes", not "over shoes". :D

And just what do you have against Tyler anyway? Just cause his car might be faster than yours? hehehe

What do you have planned for the rest of us who have faster cars? :p

Overall Tylers not a bad guy, he acts childish sometimes, but he has a good reason. He's 18 (19?)

[thunderbird96]

dude go away , i was kidding tyler aint faster i have more parts know
and we tied i 1 won he 1 won only cause i went sideways and he managed
to get a lucky good launch,with a ~~~~ load of wheel hop.

[traveler]

My apologies Jason. I was just kidding. I really don't know which car is faster, nor do I care.

I'll drop the subject now.

[sinhumane]

yup... jason is gonna blow my effing doors off with his new +10hp MAF! :eek:










(10 fwhp :rolleyes: )



oh, i pissed off a ricer last night for being louder than him.. lol. he gets all offended when i rev back, he pulls around in front of the stall at the carwash i was in... and does a 'burnout' ... i laughed right in his face... gave him a patronizing thumbs up while holding my side from laughing so hard...

[thunderbird96]

i know mike was kidding just ~~~~ing with him back,plus it's only if you can launch like that again will you be close,we should be dead even on power know,soon as matt pays me if getting pulleys next that's another 10 to 15
I did my taxes im getting 700 for federal. i don't know state yet.
plus daves paying me 180 in march. so your ~~~ is grass amd im the light lawn mower.:eek:

[traveler]

Lets not even talk about taxes. Between State and Federal I owe about 600.

[Melon]

Taxes? You mean the Lone Star State? (GTA 3 reference, chatterbox radio station.. any one else remember that?)

-Melon

[LOLA]

I can beat that. We are going to owe at least 10 times that.

[2TonCat]

OK, now that the StreetRacing vs Not thread is all behind us, I could use some more feedback on this meet.... First post updated. Any ideas guys?

[351cat]

u can put me down for racing. :D i'll have the DOHC by then, and i wanna crawl a lil closer to the top of that list ;)

[2TonCat]

Yeah... That DOHC car... With that converter... Probably would be in the 13s. You should trade Joel for 4.10s though.

[traveler]

I don't think the DOHC would be "crawling" toward the top (more like "leaping"). And (just my opinion) but if it'll be a daily driver I'd go no higher than 3.73's.

[2TonCat]

Chicken!! :P

[traveler]

LOL Not "Chicken", just Practical. The 4.10's would be harder on the car, and harder on his gas budget, thereby limiting the number of meets he could attend. ;):D

[2TonCat]

I disagree that gears are harder on the cars. But... Harder on the wallet? Yes. Absolutely.

[351cat]

I think i'll be keeping the 3.73's, not that 4.10 would be bad, but like mike said, i like fuel mileage. :) i mean look what i got out of a carb'd 351w :D I'd like a fuel injected v8 with 70 less cubes, but 16 more valves to get at least the same or better. I'll have the SCT tuner, and may invest in a Megasquirt if i get ambitious. Plus i can get a cobra intake and some "special" cams and be pushing 350+ hp with N/A for about 1200 bucks. :) It'll be fun. i cant wait.

On a side note, what is the overdrive ratio in the 4R? is it .67 like the AOD? just wanna check some rpm vs speed numbers. and also, if the trans doesnt have the tailshaft mod, should i do it w/ the 3.73's? its got an external trans cooler, i know that.

[Thunder95]

Are you for sure getting this car?

-Joel

[351cat]

yuppers, just as soon as i can get the gas to drive to stl. to meet him halfway. he wants the 5 speed pushrod v8 and i want the dohc. we're gonna do an even trade. I also have to have the money to license it...

Couple things....

You'll want 4.10s. The 4vs are power deficient below about 4000rpms. You'd likely get better gas mileage around town with gears. The extra 500rpms at 70 (Vs 3.27s) isn't anything to moan about.

The X-cal is nice for datalogging, but tuning it doesn't do. Megasquirting isn't an option unless you want to swap a 5-speed in there. If it were, I'd have done it in a heartbeat.

Unless you're talking crank numbers or nitrous, I don't think it'll see 350hp n/a for $1200, but if you do, sign me up.

The 4r is .7

It very likely has the force lube mod if Alan did the trans.

I was talking crank numbers... :) and yeah, i guess i still have pushrod on the mind, low rpms and what not, lol. If i come across some 4.10's cheap enough, i'll prolly do it. I know joel has some, maybe he'd trade, lol. Nitrous is prolly gonna happen, albeit a tiny amount to start with. And by tuning, i meant datalogging, then sending off for a tune :) the xcal will hook up to a laptop like you were doing right? I'm such a noob w/ the electronic tuning stuff, lol. The car also has 18's on it, but im not sure what size tire, it looks like they're prolly about the same size as yours, so w/ 4.10s you turn ~2500 at 70? my 3.27s were right around 2k. I did like how yours behaved w/ the 4.10s, i dunno, all i wanna do right now is get it home, lol.

[2TonCat]

Amen brotha! Get that sucka! I'll help you with the details later.

X-cal is what I have

2500rpms with 4.10s at 70. 255/45/18s

Get a Nano nitrous kit. You'll be low 12s.

[thunderbird96]

ryan the x-cal does tuning for the engine also but you have to have a tune installed on it. I know cause my buddy who owns the dyna pack dyno sells them.

[2TonCat]

The x-cal allows flashing the stock comput with pre-programmed tunes from a pro-racer package. The X-cal only allows very minor adjustments on the actual device.

[thunderbird96]

you must have the first gen model cause the x-cal2 well let you do anything you want. I know cause i was a wintness to several cars at his shop
adjust for gear and tire size changs
timing
fuel map
shift points /firmness
top speed limiter removal or adjustment
same with rev limiter
turn o2's off
change a/f ratios
data log
check trouble codes
plus many other things.

[2TonCat]

The tuning software you have to purchase separately allows you to do that. You can either get the "Pro Racer Package" or a dealer package that lets you tune other people's cars too. An X-cal alone has neither license, and can do nothing more than datalog, or flash pre-made tunes. I have the most recent model of the X-cal.

[Melon]

Lets get some plans started guys.

DATES PICKED--
JUNE 6
(Events go here)
Drive to KC!!!
5:00 = Good meeting time since everyone is usually off work
6:20-6:30 = Hand out maps, and discuss driving policies for the meet
6:30-7:30 = Grab a quick bite to eat. Probably fast food
7:30-Close = Drag racing at KCIR for those interested
JUNE 7
(Events go here)
???? What do you guys want to do for breakfast ????
12:30-4:30 = Grill lunch and BS in the park (Swap Meet???)
4:30-before sunest = Cruise
Sunset = Photoshoot somewhere pretty
End of sunset = Cruise to some parkinglot to BS more
???? Need more input for dinner ????
JUNE 8
(Events go here)


Thinking about this a little bit. Friday night - lets have the "drivers meeting" where ever we're going to eat. Which means, we gotta pick a place. Let's make it somewhere easy to find and maybe semi-close to anything else we may do that evening. What else is going on that Friday night for those of us who don't want to go to the track?

Saturday looks good. When it gets closer, maybe start a thread for those with parts available - I realize there is a few threads floating around - but start one when it gets close so it's all in one thread and not floating around in 3-4 different places.

No idea for Sunday except maybe a "see ya later breakfast" if anyone wants to get up heh.

-Melon

[2TonCat]

Anymore feedback? We can always play things by ear like we've done in the past, but if you guys want to have anything more orgonized, we need to plan for it.

[TSC89]

The only thing I can think of is to remember that MODOT is rebuilding the Noland Road bridge. They "SAY" it supposed to be done by the end of May but.....

[Melon]

So where will the meet be "centralized"? Once that's figured out, can look around at decent hotels for those of us from out of town.

-Melon

[Melon]

Also.. other things to consider...

- Bring 2 way radio's. It'll make it easier to stay in contact when traveling from Point A to Point B. Especially if some of us get lost. Even if all of us don't one - have them spread out along the line.

- This has been said before, I'll stay it again... When we are driving from place to place and we're in a line - no bigger dick contests. Drive reasonable -like we're in a parade. Call me crazy, but if I see a line of MN12's driving like fumb duckers down the street, I wouldn't want to be associated with them.

- Cell phones - I'm fairly sure that between all of us, we can contact each other.

- Maps - Map of various locations with easy to read directions from a known central point.. Directions from the interstate, or common road in case we do get lost.

Agenda - I think we kinda tried for that at the meet in February, but you can see how well that worked. So perhaps a 2nd try will be more successful. Ryan has a good start on it - just a few potential blanks to fill.

Overall, I don't care what we do - just as long as we have fun. That's the idea of it. For some of us, it's an opportunity to get away from the every day grind :D And before we know it, June is going to be here.

-Melon

[Nettlesd]

Make sure you are up on your shots. When Chris (SWS) starts humping your leg you never know what he'll leave behind.

Just to reiterate what Melon said, some of you guys don't know what a caravan is. It's the leader of the pack to make sure everyone is still following. That may include slowing the pace or pulling over and waiting for everyone to make it through the lights and not after you lose someone (hint..hint Ryan/Joel).

I wasn't trying to lose anyone, Tyler was behind me and I was running from him for my own safety!!!

Sitting this one out anyway, so shouldn't be a problem this year.

Hey now, we did a good job at Melon's dinner meet...

I agree, that caravan went very well and I think Jason was leading it.

I don't think anyone was trying to lose anyone but no one was trying to keep anyone together, either. It's just something to keep in the back of your mind if you are leading the pack.

there was your probleam hes a crazy ~~~ driver(No offence Jason)

[2TonCat]

Yeah jason, you ~~~~~~~, What the ~~~~ are you driving soo damn fast for when you're leading the pack??? Jesus christ, you need to learn some manners!

it was really me leading.

[thunderbird96]

what the hell ever . i was trying to keep the line together that's why i was pulling over for. If you want next time i can really lose you guy's.

cause i know ryan/joel/and few others don't know nothing about olathe,


matt and jim doo though.:D

DON'T GET IN MY WAY AND I WON'T HAVE TO RUN YOU OVER LOL!!

[Nettlesd]

You did good, Jason.

[Melon]

DON'T GET IN MY WAY AND I WON'T HAVE TO RUN YOU OVER LOL!!

Not until your car gets faster cuz I know you don't run.

And yes, at the dinner meet last October, we did very well. Ryan was the lead car with me behind. But another advantage - a good part of us knew where we were going. That makes a difference - hence why I'd like to see atleast some rough directions or something so if it does happen, those who aren't sure can atleast have a half ~~~ idea where they should be headed.

True dat... i had every intention of going back to joels house after the dinner, but i couldn't remember where the hell it was and i ended up going home, cuz i found 71 and didnt know if i'd be able to find it again, lol... that's why i put maps up on the Springfield thread. :)

[thunderbird96]

let's do it in olathe,shawnee /kansas

cause shawnee mission park would rock for pictures
and have good shelters for bbq

more motels and won't get shot at.

[Melon]

Doesn't matter to me - but lets get a place started to get nailed down, so directions, maps, hotels, etc can be decided.

-Melon

[thunderbird96]

if i can get a close number on who's coming i can get hotel info,maybe get a discount. me and ryan are working on cost to rent a shelter.

how many night's will people need a motel.

I will have some room at my house.

[thunderbird96]

we can have the shelters for half day or full day.
I am thinking half would be 8am to 2pm


small shelter = $35

med shelter = $ 40

large shelter = $ 60

I would think around 5pm we could go to saddlers indoor racing for the guys that want to go.

possibly going to kcir one of the day's

I will look into a autocross event here in kc,at arrow head i think one is also going on that weekend.


what do you guys think.

me and ryan can do a small video of the place if ya like.

[Nettlesd]

I'm in. Half a day and a medium shelter.

What I would like to know is who is buying what and who's cooking.

[thunderbird96]

we can split the cost among us. for the shelter.

I will have to pay for shelter cause of im the resident.

i was thinking med shelter also

then we can do pot luck on the food


there are 3 grills


we can make a list of who can bring what for food items


if anyone needs to call me my cell # 913-424-6180

they also have a huge tower for sight seeing and taking pics of car's

[thunderbird96]

so far it looks like we have 9 people
including me.

[2TonCat]

Thanks for getting the prices Jason!

This park looks pretty kick ~~~.... It should definately be a fun place to get some pictures taken.

I was partial to shelter 8 because its by the lake, but the fishermen might crowd our parkinglot. Who knows.

I'm thinking $10 each for all of the people who are going to the lunch at the park... We'll collect that friday night. The fee of the park will be paid off out of that first, then we'll goto the store and pick up some burgerz and brats etc... There are two grills there. I'd be willing to grill if needed.

What do you guys think of that?

[thunderbird96]

i think it sounds good but i need ok from everyone to do so before i pay for shelter.

It need's to happen soon to make sure i can get one.


i can get it this coming weekend. let me know

[Melon]

Sounds great.

I didn't look up location or anything - ease of getting there?

And I'll be getting a hotel. When I was there in February, I stayed at the Comfort Inn just off the interstate. It was kinda back and off the street - but I was able to park right in front of my room. I can look up the address if needed - I don't have it off hand.

-Melon

[Nettlesd]

Jason,

Go ahead and pay for the shelter and get that taken care of. I'm sure you'll get paid back but if you don't I cover you for the shelter so don't worry it. Just get that part squared away for the meet.

[eli66048]

Good job Jason! Send me your address and I'll send my money in.

[thunderbird96]

i will get the shelter taken care of this weekend.
is med size ok with everyone?

the park is 10 min from my house on renner road
very easy and simple.

hotels ? i there are several by bass pro.
just need to know how many need one.

[thunderbird96]

I will keep a record of who's pay's for this one.

we really need to apoint a book keeper for our chapter.

open a saving's account where we can put money in a slush fund. for these kind of things.

[thunderbird96]

here is a park map that i found
http://www.jcprd.com/parks_facilities/map_shawnee_mission.cfm

4/5 both have 2 grillis

both are right by lake
all units have electric outlets




this is the park address

[351cat]

wow, missed quite a conversation, lol. I'll be there. I'll need a hotel. I prolly wont be able to bring food, since i'm 3 hours away, but i'll pitch in on the brats and burgers and what not. I already asked off work. If they try to schedule me, i'll quit. Anyway, i'll be there. :)

[2TonCat]

This place isn't hard to get to at all.... Very close to 435 (Which we'll probably take unless everyone wants to watch me flog around 5 roundabouts). The place is a big loop, so its hard to get lost.

We'll just say $10 for those eating. We can either get it now, or Friday night. That will give us some time to go buy food and drinks the night before.

I'll update the schedule a little bit.

[2TonCat]

Hey Jason, any suggestions on conveniently located hotels in Olathe?

[Melon]

Someone get crack-a-lackin on finding the "official hotel" for the meet. The Days Inn I stayed at when I was there in February was nice, for the price. I think I paid less than $60/night? But I reserved online. I think in person was a bit higher. But still not a bad place at all. If no one comes up with one, that's where I'll stay. I was less than 10 minutes away from Jason's house.

-Melon

EDIT: Here's the address of the Days Inn I stayed at. 211 N Rawhide Dr.... It's just off I-35 on Santa Fe.

[thunderbird96]

yea just use that one very easy to get to my house from there,plus easy to find

[351cat]

that's where i stayed too... (the night before you stayed there. I thought it was a nice place. :)

[eli66048]

Jason, I meant to give you the money for the June event! When you see me open my wallet you just have to dive in there. I'm going to send an extra $10 just in case we have a guest show up. I have the days off for this event and the SC Shootout. Let me know if I need to bring anything.

[Nettlesd]

I totally spaced out on this also. I want to send you some money so that you can get the ball rolling. I'll send you a check for $20. What is your last name, Jason?

Jason ?????????
504 east 126st

[Thunder95]

Jason Jobe, the man, the legend.

-Joel

[thunderbird96]

lol joel yea i am getting over there this friday to pay for the shelter.:D

[trav91sc]

Sorry guys I will not be able to make it again this year. My daughter has softball games Saturday and Sunday.



Travis

[eli66048]

Hey Travis, sorry you can't make the meet in June. Family time is important too though. Starting to warm up some, thinking about those hinges?

[trav91sc]

Yes to both ?s. The wife & I we be there for your B-Day.


Travis

[SuperCharged91]

is this still on?? and is the date set in stone???

[eli66048]

Don't know for sure. Jason returned my money I sent for it. Maybe we need to get together and have a powwow.

[Melon]

Hmm.. yeah - is there something going on? I've got that weekend off but if we change dates, I'll haveta change it.

-Melon

[eli66048]

No dates should change but, don't know the status of the park area Jason was reserving.

[2TonCat]

Pretty sure the Noland bridge is open again....

What are your thoughts on Olathe VS Our old spot in Independence?

[Thunder95]

Well if Jason is sending people their money back then I would imagine it be best to get somethign else rolling on the "east side".

Bridge is open, indeed.

-Joel

[2TonCat]

I don't know if I can even reserve a park in Olathe anyway as I'm not a KS resident.
