July 6th Shawnee Mission Park Rotary Meet

Come one, come all to the July 6th Rotary Meet at the majestic Shawnee Mission Park! Input is still needed on food, which part of the park specifically, and mini-events besides the aforementioned park cruise. It may be handy to have a list of who will be attending, so I'll start by putting myself on the ticket:

1. Liltoflm

A cheap and simple option for food would be to, if we have a count on how many are attending, pick up several $5 pizzas and pop them open for to slaughter. If we knew we'd have a spot to do so, however, it'd be nice to get some flames moving on some meat. Spout your ideas and thoughts, please.

The park's a great place for a cruise, but also constantly swarming with twig pigs, in addition to a few that have somehow gotten airborne, watching from above in an Orwellian fashion, so best to keep it to just that, a cruise. Award-giving for things like "best in show" or "best engine" has also come up, and would be great if you put aside the simple fact that we are all broke . Other than the food, we need something else to beef up the event, draw a few more rotorheads out of the woodwork, and make it more fun all-around.

We've got almost two weeks to brainstorm and get the word out, so let's get the wankel-powered think-tank rolling.

I was too late last time around. And as for pizza, i can eat a whole one by myself, so i think ill eat before hand.

I nominate myself for "The worst decals that won't come off and I have no idea who put them on"

FCGizmo, do you still have that header around you mentioned a couple months ago? I could never get it tracked down. I'd be interested in picking it up off of you at the meet if the price and the condition is right. I'm liking the turnout numbers so far, and still have some calls to make myself. Is cheap pizza the verdict for food, or did anyone have other propositions?

i think cheap pizza would be the easiest and maybe some two liters of soda?

oh and i think we should have a competition for the best sounding RX-7, and then one from each gen

Speaking of ready, anyone wanna help me get this GXL off the jack stands? Rebuilt it, I could get it to start earlier today, wouldn't stay running though. Then as soon as I try to show it off to my wife that it actually runs, it won't start anymore

I haven't been able to get ahold of a whole lot of people, everyone's outta town the whole weekend. I'll bring a few pizzas to ze park and we'll see what happens. To reiterate, we'll be meeting at this location unless anyone proposes otherwise. If the shelter is in use that day, there's a trail behind the lot that has some seating, or we can roam elsewhere and leave a note. Input?

I got insurance and plates for the REPU today. I took the truck for a drive also. Once I got on the highway and up to speed, the carburetor problem went away. Now I just need to fix the squealing alternator/water pump belt. I even have a double pulley and it still squeals. I'll be there on Sunday. It starts at 1:00 pm?
