2009 EF Squad Spring Meet Planning Thread

[bigdare23]

Yep, its that time again!

Its time to plan a spring 2009 meet!!! Its time for old faces to unite and new faces to join up. So every come up with a good weekend to have this and come up with some activities.

My ideas

-Mountain run (cuz everyone is going to want one)
-planning it during an autox weekend so we can give that a shot
-drag racing
-BBQ (maybe at rev's house since we were talking about that)
-gokarting (so I can kick Alans butt)
-meet at the varsity meet
-go out to eat
-goto a park and play some sports (fb, bb, tag, or whatever)and BBQ
-scavenger hunt
-goto a hawks or braves game

Come up with some ideas people! So we have exactly until next friday to come up with a place, date, and time.

(Oh yeah, if you not interested in hanging out with the ef squad don't posting in this thread, okay thanks)

... see post below, skeet.

Okay, i've got 2 idea's, with dates...

Option 1:

Saturday March 20th: Generic meet. Meet at the varsity around noon, go grab sum lunch or do a bbq @ a nearby park. Then the doors are open, scavenger hunt, dyno day, w/e.

Sunday March 21st: Mountain Run day. We meet at the Varsity, and the head to dahlonega, and most likely grab sum food when we're done.


Option 2:

Saturday April 18th: Generic meet. Meet at the varsity, grab lunch/bbq, dyno day, scavenger hunt, w/e.

Sunday April 19th: Auto-x solo even @ turner field. need i say anymore?






Those are the only dates i can for see me being able to make it to a meet, it costs me about $30 or so in gas to get home and back, so i can't just come back whenever i want to. Sadly, there are no braves games or hawks home games during either of those weekend

[bigdare23]

Oh yeah, there's always the option of the dyno day to see how everyone improved from last year or to get a baseline. We can talk to Mainstream since they love having us or have to Bus Driver talk to Topspeed. The only thing is we will have to prepay this time because the last time we dyno'd everyone wanted to back out, and that made me look bad since I went through the trouble of getting Mainstream to cut us a deal and let us use their shop for the day.

For me to do any meets it would be after memorial day.

My son is now in baseball.
friday night practice, saturday game then sunday practice again.

Plus also end of march is no good for me for some strange reason I thought it would be nice to buy the wife a plane ticket on her 40th birthday to go see her folks in canada. I'm still trying to figure out how much Guinness I drunk that night to come up with that idea (so far 16 pints has been my tops before I get to buzzing).

Me at home all weekend long with two small kids what the hell was I thinking.

[Papa_Smurf]

i like both option's! But if i had to choose, i would say option #2 since i will be @ the autoX event anyway. plus i wouldn't mind putting the hatch on the dyno.

[Bus Driver J]

My vote
Dyno day and then Andretti's Speed Lab.
I wont have anything to dyno though....

[sakasaku]

A track day?????

[cwhiteboy]

I'll already be at the autocross, so of course, i'm down for that. BBQ sound good too (I'll make burgers). I'de probably show up for a drag or dyno event, but I wouldn't participate, maybe a run or two down the strip, but dyno's are too expensive for someone like me.

[Papa_Smurf]

i vote for option 2. dyno day on saturday and bbq, and then sunday we do the auto-x.

[Papa_Smurf]

and mike, 3 pulls on the dyno is like $30 max, LOL.

me you and ant all need to dyno, battle of the ZC's bro

[sakasaku]

i vote for option 2. dyno day on saturday and bbq, and then sunday we do the auto-x.

Agreed cause i can do both!

[Papa_Smurf]

lol you're not going to be there, pipe down kid

[slow_hatch]

I'll ride out to the autoX and watch you guys get down. Maybe I'll have the white car going by then and could participate too

[Revmaynard]

Well, I'm down to have you guys over one night for a BBQ, so we can meet up and have a dyno day and then come back to my place and cook out. But either way, as long it isn't a mtn run/drag day I'll be there. lol I have no reason to run the qtr mile and I don't think mtn runs are fun.

[uproot]

I'll ride out to the autoX and watch you guys get down. Maybe I'll have the white car going by then and could participate too

you should try to make it if there's a BBQ! idk yet if i'll be able to make it, but i know im sure as hell gonna try

[slow_hatch]

[uproot]

[Papa_Smurf]

Yeah, I'm gonna try to make it to whatever you guys decide to do

[slow_hatch]

[Papa_Smurf]

Ive been in the mtns with some heavily modded suspension cars. Rode in on a few mtn runs, just not my thing. lol I just don't have tires I'd trust up there and since they don't make wagon specific suspension and I'm using regular EF parts I don't want that to cause any issues in the mtns.

[Papa_Smurf]

lol not ur thing? racing around curvy backroads, not ur thing eh? lol

[Revmaynard]

No, I don't really ''race''. lol

[sakasaku]

lol you're not going to be there, pipe down kid

Why the hell not?


you want to put money on that?

[cwhiteboy]

and mike, 3 pulls on the dyno is like $30 max, LOL.

me you and ant all need to dyno, battle of the ZC's bro

Ha, I suppose so. I guess I could pay 30 bucks to se my car make less than 100bhp on paper. Its whatever though, that sounds like it would be a fun weekend. And Rev, If you don't want people over at your place, and people don't mind riding up to lawrenceville, I'de be more than willing to host the BBQ. As long as I'm not paying for all the food.

[Papa_Smurf]

No, I don't really ''race''. lol

lol ima ricer then.

Why the hell not?


you want to put money on that?

think of it as motivation kid
