it's cool green91, since it's a church....no beer...however if it ends up in like a camel back or something that was colored so as not to see it's frosty goodness...not sure how it would be detected. lol

How about we ILLEGALLY use Blood mountain..:goodjob:

[matthewAPM]

blood mountain FTW

[VooDooXII]

blood mountain FTW

Haha oh man that'd be nuts.

[B_Hoov]

bad news, just spoke with the church and they had a big meeting yesterday about it and came to the conclusion that it would be too much of a liability if someone were to get hurt etc...tried talking her into waivers but no dice, im on the lookout for a new place tho, going to center my search somewhere in the perimeter if i can.

[BKgen®]

daaaaaamn. would've been the perfect spot. i'll keep my eyes peeled for a locale.

That was my thought from the beginning :crazy:

[matthewAPM]

why the fawk dont we just go to the mountains???

[Elbow]

Lets do it.

[BKgen®]

why the fawk dont we just go to the mountains???

because it would pretty much be impossible to close down a section of road. plus, no roll cage + steering failure + huge dropoffs = fail.

[slow_hatch]

Is this still going to happen??

[DJ Maestro]

Is this still going to happen??

It is still a go. Teams are in the process of building their cars as we speak. Somewhere, someone in Georgia is saying, "Hey guys! Watch this!!!" Then they realise that the current design doesn't work all that well. :doh:

[BKgen®]

[BKgen®]

[DunDunSkeert]

[osnap]

[UpSideDownDesi]

Edit: i hear event startet isn't organizing the event any more. Who took over? If none, i won't mind organizing it.

[IronEagle]

We need a montage.

[vkash1208]

oh snap, is this going down anymore? i am keeping a look out for venues but damn dawg, there is nothing coming up. btw dude i met you inside varsity with voodooxii

[osnap]

i dont really care who organizes it lol. somebody take the reigns.

[B_Hoov]

i dont really care who organizes it lol. somebody take the reigns.


*debates*

[Z33_kid]

man i really wanted to go to this

[slow_hatch]

Ok, so I guess everyone has lost interest in this. Our build is 50% completed, but I'm not going to continue to spent time on it if everyone has bailed. Lets figured this out by tonight so everyone can plan on something.

[mushroom_toy]

^I think thats the case since we have no location, and no organizer. :(

[Echonova]

ALL ABOARD!!!!!!

I just made our soapbox car into my daily driver...

[VooDooXII]

I just made our soapbox car into my daily driver...

Pretty smart, given the gas prices I've been seeing.

[Random Hero]

Pretty smart, given the gas prices I've been seeing.

I think so.

If you want to car pool let me know. :goodjob:

[green91]

Its very disappointing to me for someone to organize this meet, get people into action building cars (some of us are half done!) and then basically back out and have no plan.

[osnap]

I "disappoint" you? :rolleyes: ...I don't know what to tell you. What have i done that someone else couldn't pick up on? All I was did was come up with the idea and set some ground rules. Just because I cant attend now that I've started a new job doesn't mean it cant go on.

As a matter of fact, I openly announced a few WEEKS ago that I likely wouldn't be able to do it, and invited anyone to continue setting it up... nobody decided to do that. Its not like its tough - like I said before, all I've done is make a thread and come up with some ground rules. Its not my fault in any way shape or form that this has fallen apart. Furthermore, I've said from the beginning that I'd need everyone's assistance finding a location, and despite one great lead, we ultimately weren't able to do that... once again, I don't see why I'm to blame for that.

Take the reigns and set up a later date, or don't whine about it. :2cents:

[ShooterMcGavin]

do y'all even have a location for this thing yet?

[slow_hatch]

do y'all even have a location for this thing yet?

Hwy 129 ;)

[Julio]

I personally think.. No matter what.. you start something that by the looks of it , seems like it was going to be big... You just cant back out.. new job or not..

ALl you had to do was when interviewing just request that day off.

[osnap]

...so im a bad host. sorry? it didnt seem like it was going to be big, it seemed like it was falling apart. no location, interest dropped BIG TIME recently, etc. It is what it is, if yall wanna be mad at me, fine. Cant please everyone.
