First off I want to apoligize for the long delay in getting things going. Now I would like some feedback from you guys. I would like to have our first meeting in either December or January. Everyone that's interested please give me some feedback and we will work out a time and place.

Thank you,

What part of NC are you in again? It's been a while since I've talked to you.

I'm thinking just a meeting at a restaurant somewhere since it'll be cold weather and the first meeting.

I'm in Asheville, but the meeting can be anywhere within reason, depending on where everyone is located.

Im in Raleigh right now. Will this just be a sit down meet or an event?

Just a sit down meet to get things going. Get us all on the same page and see what everyones interests are.

Well I might not be able to make it that far then. We'll see.

Ok. That's understandable. It might end up being somewhere like Hickory. I have no idea at this point. We'll have to play it by ear and see who all is interested.

Hickory or Rutherfordton would be good. I am partial to breakfast at the Moose Cafe we have driven 1.5 hours for that before. With diesel as high as it is for me to come to Ashville for a non dyno run I would have to drive the wifes buick but I'm game. Unless i can talk the family into a camping weekend.

I know it's January but u should try an set some kind of event up to get more people to come. quesyion is, what? We would need somewhere warm[coffee]

Ok. I'm making a list of everyone's locations so I can come up with a central location for everyone to meet.

If my shop was finished we could do it there, but that's not gonna be an option. Finding something warm is gonna be about impossible. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

There is a dyno in shelby but the shop is small and has no parking so I would think that is out. We also have a 1/8 mi dragstrip that for $5 on sunday and thursday you can run. I've heard there is a Dyno in Gastiona but I don't know for sure. Poole has one but that is 2 hours from me and more like 4 from Asheville. If we could find something in Hickory or Morganton that would be about the middle of the Easternpart of the state. I'm good for anything in around 2 hrs from the house in the truck I can travel further in the car. My wife starts getting paid the end of Dec and then I could do about anything in the state. The only reason I didn't go to Duraham this past weekend is because we just didn't have the money but it sounds like I missed out on a good one. I will plan on making the next one if they have it I really want to see the "Red Ram Rocket" in person. We are planning on making the one at Blowing Rock in Jun. I really want to put a baseline down so I can plan my next mods. Looking at an s300 s400 twin setup and .022 DVs next with a possible shot of NO2. Adam I have Fridays off and would be willing to help as much as I can to get things going. Will be in Charelston SC for thanksgiving but home for the Christmass Holidays.

There's a couple here in Asheville but they're proud of their dynos and want a small fortune and a guaranteed number of dyno runs to even have a dyno day. I did have one of them asking me when we were gonna do one though. I could arrange something for Jan. I wouldn't mind doing a dragstrip day on a sunday though. That would probably work the best for me. Maybe by then by 12 valve will be ready to make a pass or two. Are you talking about shady side? As far as I know, Olee's dyno is not up and running yet but will be soon. Just talked to him but I forgot to ask him.

Olees was not in last week if were talkin about the same Olee but I dont know when it will be.

Yea Shady Side. Been there a few times to run. Got beat by a newer ford ps but that was before the 370s. the twin kit and the dv should fix that problem. My brother is friends with a local dirt track racer I will see if he could locate one near by. Like you said earlier a good sit down with everyone that is interested to discuss future get toghethers and see who would be interested would be good right now as well.

I feel like the best thing for a first get together would be just a sit down meeting. That way we could all be in the same place, without distractions like how much horsepower we're making, and discuss things.

Sounds good to me just tell me when and where and I will try to be there.

Ok. I'm gonna give this a little week or two and see how many people are interested.

I know there's more of us than 3. Come on guys.

why was my post deleted?

why was my post deleted?

I never saw a post from you. I was expecting one from you and wondering why you hadn't posted yet. Only you and a moderator can delete a post you make. Maybe it never made it up.

o well count me in... i should have the dodge/ peterbilt done by then

Sounds good. Keep a watch on this post. I will pm everyone that has replied and let them know when we set a date, time, and location.

I'm in....Adam just now called to inform me!! He Also Informed me he was buying dinner....again[guitar] Just kiddin!

PS Olee is looking probably in the next 2 months to be on the safe side. I probably wont have my truck done by then, but I'm up for anything! I'm even thinking of a dyno purchase for myself! I'm not really sure though! Also, I'd like DTR to be involved with the next dyno day.. Last time it was Me Adam Olee and a few others just making it happen!

Ya'll let me know what ya think! I just told Adam Hickory Sounded great to me!

Sounds like Hickory is gonna be the most central location. What does everybody think?

Works for me.

I may be able to get with you then...work is touch-n-go, so I'll have to see...I'm up in Ashe County.

Where at in ashe? I'm in boone!

I know there's some more of you out there. Come on guys.

I'm brand new here but I still think that Hickory would be a fine idea [guitar]

Especailly since I'm 10 miles away.

I'm in Linwood which is like 20 minutes from Salisbury. Gosh I love living in the middle right between NCDTR 18 and 32 [laugh]

Yea adam, Thats not a long drive at all for you to make it to hickory!

Sounds good. I'd say early January is looking good right now. Anybody have any dates that are good or bad for them? I'll call you back tomorrow Lucas. It's been a busy couple days around here.

I'm right there with Adam, I'm in Lexington. I will probably try to make it, just depends on timing.

Chet, congrats on the dyno numbers you just recently posted. Pretty impressive.

Count me in fella's! Hickory sounds great to me, just one county over from Iredell.

I'll be there, let me know when. :cool:

Ok guys. I've made a list of everyone. I should be posting a date sometime in the next week or two. Anybody have any preference? Sat? Sun? Any dates good or bad?
