Just in case Steve or Brian catch this:

Was nice talking to you again Brian, even if it was a short talk. lol I forgot to ask you where you guys were sitting at in the stands and where to find Steve at when we were down at Midnight Mayhem. I'm planning on bringing a crew down again next time in July, wasn't sure if you guys were going to be there. I was surprised at how many people we brought from Dubuque, I think we ended up with like 15 people. Would have been nice to talk to Steve again since we don't have many meets. I think this is a good time to try and figure out a date again and stick to it!

Step up and pick one man. No one's stopping you. Picking a place would be nice as well. Its pretty obvious that no one wants to host a meet (basically every time) so host one and I will do my best to be there.

I'd like to get my car running before I have to leave for afgan.

I'm pretty busy so July is the only month that will work for me this year.......

I might post pics of my re-vamped engine in a bit.

Honestly, I would love to host a meet somewhere here in Dubuque since I know this area well now, but I doubt anyone would come. Like I said, almost any Saturday or Sunday will work for me, I can plan around it. It's whatever day you guys want it really. I don't have anything that will get in the way unless I have an emergency come up.

If you guys wanna come here I'm sure Blade and I can figure something out. I know of a fun cruise we could do and there's tons of good places to eat here in Dubuque. Since Jason seems to be on the shortest deadline - when works for you Jason?

Edit: Cody I wasnt trying to sound like a dick. It kind of seemed that way when I re-read what I posted. All Im saying is we need to throw out a date/time and as long as most of us can make it then cool.

Nah, it's fine Ian, I understand. lol I don't want to do the first or second weekend of July as that's kind of around the whole Independence Day ****, and some people do events on the weekend of or the weekend after. What about maybe like the 19th around 2? Gives people enough time to get some sleep, get ready, and make it here without having to rush and leaves us with enough daylight to bullshit. Thoughts?

Most likely Dubuque. If you dont want to drive all the way up there you can ride with me as the wife most likely wont want to go. I may talk the neighbor (Nick) into driving the FC as it should be ready by then. I will def need to know at least 2 weeks in advance as Nick works almost every weekend.

July 19th is a Monday???? If it's that weekend I won't be able to make it I don't know if Brian would go up either. If it was on a weekend I could make it I would probably drive my bike up.

June 19th is a Saturday.

I have the kid that weekend so I'm a no go. If it was the weekend before or after I would be able to go.

Sorry I missed you friday at Cordova, Cody, I was drinking and didn't walk around much like Brian did lol

Alright, how about the 10th then? Does that work for everyone?

Yea, I wasn't sure where you were at but I figured I wouldn't find you since it was so packed. We'll be going down again next month for it, so maybe we could meet up then!

Yeah the 10th will work, just say where at.

Yeah we'll have to meet up at the next one. I might head out to the test and tune and have a buddy run my bike.

Alright, it seems the 10th would be a good idea thus far then. I'll have a talk with Blade here and see what we could figure out for a place. I'm thinking we should get somewhere where we could sit and chat and not worry about being kicked out. As far as places to eat, I'm assuming you guys would like more of a restaurant style place rather than something more fast food? I recently had a meet with the Projekt German crew at Bandana's here in Dubuque. Great food, plenty of seating, A/C. Are you guys thinking of a cruise afterwards then too? I know a good route for one.

As far as Midnight Mayhem, hopefully next time it's not as packed and we could get more runs in. The first run took like an hour and a half to get through the staging lanes, but it got faster after that. You should bring the WRX down next time!

Well, at least Blade answers when you call. Never does when I call. He doesnt call back either... One time was an emergency even.
