So who's up for it? I would assume Pat (schweppe23) will be there this year ;) I intend to go... Perhaps Julian (3x3)....

[iceman]

damnit, I will be in Albany.. GRR
decisions decisions

[SilverGT1]

hmm, I may have to check it out.

[Warthog]

oooh! cedar point trip!!

[elim]

oh snap, cedar point?! hmmm

[Phuxed]

Hmmm...definately putting this on the calender. I'll see if I can get my girlfriend to bring her '87 Grand Prix...

[AaronGTR]

Went there once (about 3-4 years ago) and it was cool. Haven't had the chance to go again. I've been thinking about going this year if I can work everything out money/time wise and have the car in perfect order by then.

[n4cer]

There for sure! Only missed last year because of the Brickyard 400 Tickets!

[Ajaxus]

if im no longer in debt, and i can afford the trip, ill be there.

[elim]

I went last year, it was pretty fun. Tons of cars and drag racing. Plus like Jason said, went to Cedar Point WHICH OWNED.

[GtGoddess]

OHHhhMMmm.....*checks calendar.* oh look. nothing planned *writes in pen* done. :)

[Ajaxus]

im guessing ill need a few hundred for this? for hotel fees, event fees, food, and other crap? that sounda bout right price wise?

[Warthog]

few hundred? i hope not, well maybe if you include gas and south bend is far away in indiana. if you split hotel rooms with someone it wouldn't cost that much. i'd mainly be going just to hit up cedar point, could care less about the track hehe. maybe it won't rain this time either.

[Ajaxus]

well i figure a tank of gas both ways..$65
hotel room split anywhere from $20-30 per night
car corral im guessing is the parking for the event? $35

so one night and full trip would cost me $120-130 and the weekend would be around $140-160. throw in food and stuff, it gets pricey. somebody tell me if im wrong tho. there's so many different fees there that im not quite sure which ones ill have to pay and which i won't have to.

[Warthog]

if yer not racing it looks like parking for one day is $15

[Ajaxus]

alright, i was getting confused with the different prices up there because ive never been to something like this before. thanks.

[dsk727]

most hotel rooms I hear get booked fast and far in advance and most of the GP guys camp it and that way it's wayyyy cheaper! Another year I can't go (baby is due that friday lol).. I swear one of these years I will have that weekend free and finally be able to go!! Grrrr!

[Ajaxus]

Your internal clock is a bit off. It is June ;)

[Ajaxus]

goddamnit. :(

somebody shoot me.


im tryin to remember if my parents have a tent or not..im just curious as to what the "plumbing" is like at the campgrounds. ive camped in all manners but i don't really feel like washing in the wilderness on this one, lol

[elim]

do it bacardi and cola do it do it

[GtGoddess]

as long as there is a hose....i'll shower in the grass lol w/ a bathing suit on of course.

[tejohnson]

lol... Perhaps I shouldn't say there are showers then...

[AaronGTR]

Hmm... camping. That might be the only way I'll be able to afford this.

[Ajaxus]

you get my hopes up...and then you shoot them down..damnit

:leg

Facilities are awesome! They do have CLEAN showers and bathrooms there!

[Mendoza]

I am planning on heading down. I doubt i will camp out overnight though.

[Schweppe23]

I'm going...who else?

[tejohnson]

I'm going...who else?


lol... You better be.

[H.O. Driver]

damnit, I might have to blow the dust off the car and drag it out then too. I am really considering this, since I missed nats last year and can't wait to see Todd and Pat go at it!

[AaronGTR]

I'm going but I think I'll just be showing and not racing. I still have much to learn and far to go on the tuning, and I don't want to race on an untried engine/transmission 400 miles from home. Call me paranoid, but that would be an expensive towing bill if something blew up. lol

[botlfed]

the GTP will be there...... along with me.......


Schweppe Loves Canadian Bacon

[Schweppe23]

No way B, shes all yours. I'll just drink beer and watch :ec:

Aaron you can use my truck/trailer if anything breaks. It might also be a good time to try out your drag radials and smaller pulley ;)...(probably make sense for me to bring em huh?)

[iceman]

ewwwwwww no canadian bacon!!

[tejohnson]

And if a few of us break down? lol

[Schweppe23]

We might need some long really long chains to link all the cars to my truck...second though brandons gtp has more hp and tq then my truck so we'll just use that to tow us. lol

[Vinaashak]

I should be there as well. I might dust the car off for racing, gaurantee it shows up dirty as hell. I want to get in some good passes at or near 12's this year.

[Vinaashak]

OH yeah and i remember something about Canadian bacon and lip gloss from times past.

[AaronGTR]

Mmm I don't know Pat... I gotta have some wheels to put the DR's on first don't I? lol

[Gold99HO]

damn, i hate am not going :(

[n4cer]

I will be there for sure! More than likely camping too. Time to party!!

[Vinaashak]

just a couple days left

[tejohnson]

Yep... ;) Hit 15 PSI a few times... Getting a lil nervous...

[AaronGTR]

Hehe, yeah. I'm just trying to make sure I take everything I need with me since I'm sleeping at the track sat night, and trying to figure out how to fit it all in the car. :D My hoods at the paint shop right now too and they told me it would be ready friday afternoon so I'm crossing my fingers.

[Warthog]

well i hit up universal studios last week so i'm gonna wait for cedar point ... probably take a wednesday off and head down there or somethin so there's fewer crowds

[iceman]

I say cedar point meet in early october again :)

[tejohnson]

But wait, Isn't Pat a guest in your lil hotel? lol

[botlfed]

But wait, Isn't Pat a guest in your lil hotel? lol

:applause: dingdingding
we have a winner lol

[tejohnson]

Wow... Talk about share the love...

[iceman]

probably better for B to turn gay than canadian bacon

[tejohnson]

Perhaps the lipgloss turns him on?

[iceman]

he said something about wanting Pat's italian loin... thought he was talking about dinner :iconfused:

[AaronGTR]

eeeewwwwww...

Stop pickin' on poor Pat. lol



I'm in the process of packing right now. Gotta get back to it actually...

[tejohnson]

lol... Me too. Just put the beer in the cooler. Cracked one open. This is some old ass beer.

[Mendoza]

Hope to meet some of you guys in person and i can't wait to check out everyones car.

[Vinaashak]

****, the whole money thing and car wanting to die has bite me in the ass. I think i can possibly afford the trip but with the food and beer cost with gas running to around 200 most likely i cant do it. Plus my car has hit the retarded wagon with running a constant 1.9 degrees kr on any loaded condition. This **** is really starting to piss me the **** off. This car hates me and life i know it.

[Schweppe23]

Nice meeting you Mendoza. Todd thanks for helping me out with the tuning. Aaron we'll figure out something on those tires and I'll get em to you (sorry again for that) Brandon I missed your lil hotel and the baby faces you make while u sleep. To all those that ditched out with a 'B' suck a #$%K...J/K lol
