I agree with that Eric. I also feel that we should have meets more often, possibly 3 or 4 this spring/summer. The location isnt a big deal to me, I just offered my place since I havent before.

 

Drill dates-

17-19 April
2-3 May
5-20 June
5-19 July
15-16 Aug
12-13 Sept

 

So it seems that Saturday May 23 is the day. Does anyone have any known plans for that day? I know by agreeing with Eric I am saying set a date and leave it but its far enough out now that unless someone doesnt say something within the next few days then the date will be set for sure. As far as my house or the park in Washington I could honestly care less.

 

I don't have anything going on that weekend. So it works for me.

 

Damn jesse! that is looking likes its going to be pretty bad *** when its done. I cant wait to see it. I saw you driving it just the other day going down devils glenn you probably wouldnt have known what car i was in i got a 03 audi a4. but hit me up when that thing is done i'd really like to come by and check it out.

As far as may 23 goes it should work for me. brian will probably have his car done by then too. I wont be in a seven probably never will be again but ill clean up the audi and cruise it out.

holy crap rich posted in the midwest section..

 

okay. so we got the 23rd. thats may, right?
now, what time? (lets get the easy stuff out of the way before we work on location)
11:00? noon? later? earlier?

for what its worth, i really enjoyed our meet at buffalo wild wings. no one had to worry themselves with bringing food, and everyone could get what they want.
so, lunch time then?

 

+1 to that
that made things a lot easier, no pavilions to reserve is nice too

anyone think maybe we should make our way to Cordova after the meet? i think its a lil more than an hour drive from iowa city and then then we have a safe place to do some runs etc.

their schedule isn't posted for that sat yet, but just a thought.

 

Yea, seriously. The meet at BWW's kicked ***, except for me and Steve ending up in Iowa City instead of Coralville. lol Did we ever figure out who dropped the ball on stating which BWW's we were supposed to be at? lol

 

whats Cordova?
sorry im new to iowa

 

a drag strip. cordova illinois.
never ran drag there, but ive run autocrosses there.
pretty bumpy parking lot. stip looks nice though.

 

Cordova has a friday night fun night and a midnight mayhem may 22 the day before the meet as of now the 23 is TBD.

Brian and I will probably end up going to the fun night and watching the midnight mayhem if anyone else from out of town wants to come down I have plenty of room at my house if you dont want to make the drive afterwards.

 

Midnight Mayhem is where I first saw Jason run the FD when he brought Eric along. It's usually a fun time going there and watching the cars run even if you don't have something to run.

 

Yeah whatever you guys want to do is fine with me. In town here is a pretty good mexican place with plenty of seating available. It wouldnt be a big deal to reserve seats. Id just tell them one of the many times between now and then that Angie and I go there.

As for Cordova, Im pretty much always game for running the FB. Not sure if I went to MM how late I would stay. Of course, it would be alot easier crashing at S&B's.

Back to the meet - No need to reserve a pavillion. In all reality if the pavillions are used when we show up we can always park somewhere else. Its really not a big deal. Anyways, enough rambling from me.

 

You may or may not have heard about Eddyville. They have 1/8 mile strip there. Eddyville is about 20 minutes or so past Ottumwa. Cordova on the other hand is 1/4 mile so its obviously better lol. There is another place by Waterloo but cant remember name of the track.

 

The one over by Waterloo is Earlville, which is also a 1/4 mile track but it sucks. Cordova is the nicest track around here I think.

So is May 23rd the date we're shooting for then?

 

Yup

 

Earlville track is pretty nice too but you gotta slow down fast.

You get a lot of runs in since it's not as busy.

I went there and could almost circle around the track back to the start line.....

 

MAY
3 Sunday Test & Tune, Street Legal / Sport Compact, GTP / Super Coupe Clash
16 Saturday Super Pro, Pro, Sportsman, Trophy, High School, Junior Dragster
17 Sunday Pro Cross, Street Bike, Super Pro, Pro, Sportsman, Trophy, High School, Junior Dragster
23 Saturday Super Pro, Pro, Sportsman, Trophy, Junior Dragster Challenge
24 Sunday Quick 16, Heartland S/SS, Super Pro, Pro, Sportsman, Trophy, Junior Dragster Challenge

looks like Earlville isn't open that day...

 

jason you ever going to get ian a hard drive that works? Im still waiting on that...

I think we should hit up the fun night the 22nd and if anyone wants to crash at our place its no big deal.. Then we can all meet on the 23rd if some people dont head up to cordova the night before and hang out.

 

I am in need of the following:

Windshield trim pieces on the left and right side. Must be in great shape.

Sunroof trim. Must be in great shape.

Drivers side door trim. It is the trim that sits at the bottom of the window on the exterior of the door. Must be in great shape.

Thanks!

Ya i got a couple..... just need to Ian to pick them up if he wants.

 

Good luck with that.

My recommendation is just to buy new.

The windshield peices come in a kit and is pretty common/cheap think the acutal hardware is like 60 bucks.

 

Looks like I will be buying the stuff new.

I called Lujacks today for the windshield stuff. $300 for the three pieces!!! I will be calling Ray at Malloy Mazda tomorrow to see what he can do.

Jesse

 

Ray at Malloy Mazda just saved me $200!

If you need anything call Ray Crowe at 1-888-533-3400.

The door trim pieces are called belt moldings. I want to say I priced them at ~80 each.
