OK Jason here it is... your chance...

I've been PMing with PatrickSimmons about doing a Spring meet at GLD (Great Lakes Dragway).

I tried this once before many moons ago and it feel through but with 02LSE96LSC.....etc's obsession with racing LOL... and a few other's Patrick and I thought it would be a good idea for a meet.

So Jason you should contact Patrick and start a discussion on this.

Also I would like to use this thread for more discussion.

It would be nice to try and do a meet this fall yet but it does take time to set up something nice more than a hey guys let's get together and race.

My original thought is an all day event were members meet up for breakfast and then get ready for the day at the track.

This meet would not mean that by attending you are required to race your car. You can either race or watch. But most of all have a great time with great people from LvC.

So the thread is open and discussion should commence...

Oh and I chose GLD because we have at least one member who frequents this place and knows the area well. Plus it is easy access to the freeway, and there Kenosha and Racine are close so there is plenty of eats and fun in the area. Also There are enough members within 3 hours of this place to make it an easy drive for those wanting to attend.

The Floor is open...

Point of discussion....

Date....

and

Activities....
 
Spring before all the big events would work out well. Do't want to go on a Import Wars Weekend. Also I remember 2 Ford fun days, one in spring and one in summer...that would be cool. Last time I went they gave me a flyer that I never even looked at, might have been the 08 schedule, I'll try to find it.

I bet the events will be similar to the '07 season.... So you could start by looking at the '07 dates to start planning.

I'm betting that Jason is :hump: over this meet.. LOL:D

Sounds like fun I went down to ford day #2 and it was lots of fun, lots of cool fords! The first ford day is in May but I am going to take my montego down there for that if I finish it this winter.(Smoke all of you) :D Or in April we could go the first week and race for free and save 35 dollars.
 
We can do our own bracket race for money. We don't need the track to help just a honest person to write down your dial before you run, then after check your timeslip to add RT to the overage. Keep track all day winner takes all. Since there will be newbies a RED LIGHT just won't count instead of being knocked out.

I'm in.:D
 
This is what I want to see... good conversation on this thread. Jason I want you and Patrick to take the reigns on this. Patrick is coming to the Christmas Party.. I'm hoping that you will again also, 1 to have a great time and 2 for you to get together with Patrick and discuss this further. Get you LS guys out of the Suburbs and onto the track LOL.

Use this time to figure out a date... There seem to be good interest so I'm hoping that this time the Track Meet will be a good hit.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Some of us track our LS's. Not all are just interested in HID headlights, Lambo doors, and fitting the biggest subwoofer in the trunk. :lol:

If this happens I will probably be there with TurboLS provided I am not predisposed that day.
 
ill be down for spring!!
rich, ill line up with ya, im actually "tinkering" (or planning to) with MY car, not to mention i hit 15.1's now, stock (even wit' my big ole ghetto blasta' in da' trunk :D)
 
I think the meeting for breakfast first would be a great idea.

Like I said, I have never been there so it's new to me but do they have picnic areas for grilling? Maybe we could do burgers and dogs for lunch or something.

For bracket racing??? Screw that!!! It is much easier to bracket race with a less powerful car! If we are bracket racing for money then I am bringing the Ranger. Besides, you usually "light" my azz anyways. ;)

Give me a call if you want to go heads up. :p

Yes they do have an area where you can pull a trailer in the back grassy area past the pits and probably have a cookout there. I have never grilled there myself but I assume that would not be an issue.
 
It's just an idea if people wanted to make a full day out of it, especially if we get enough interest and people want to bring their families.
 
This is sounding great.... we are getting good response. Now remember that this is early... We need to keep this thread active and the interest boiling.

How about getting all of you guys at the Christmas Party on Dec. 8th... we can discuss more and start up some friendly rivalries...

Hey you know why the chicken didn't cross the road? He had a Gen II....:bowrofl: :burnout:

Jason.... at your next visit to GLD see if you can ask in the office if they know of a good weekend in spring that we could do this? Or call them during the week.

What is going to be hard is setting a date that works for everyone.. (this just will not happen)... So when the date gets set please everyone remember we will do our best to make it fit the needs of all but from what I've learned with planning meets, someone will not be able to make the meet.

But if we can make this an annual event... as the Cubs say there is always next year.

Jason and Patrick.. once you find a date set it and then we'll stay with it. If you want to post a poll on 3 dates and do a vote that can work also.

Now the worse thing that can happen is like what happened last time I tried this. Lots of discussion and interst then everyone backed out. I put a lot of work into it.. bummer..

But this time it looks like we have a more excited group.. so let's getter done.:D
