BG 2007 Planning

[Kevin]

I love the BBQ at Wendell's....I'm just sick of the same crappy chicken at every event. Ron, you and I talked about this a few years ago at one of the dinner/acutions. And yes the callaway guys want a formal invite....not sure why, but they do

[Peaven]

Well f***....I just found out that I'm already committed to an event on May 5, so I likely won't make it. This really sucks.

awesome. thank you all so much for the feedback. it sounds like a few of these may emerge with a thumbs up.

anything else you guys would like to do?? I will of course BS all weekend long and hopefully we'll have a few more strokers and turbo cars running around to learn more about the super modified cars, and mom can finally teach me how to wax one of these (NOT) er or maybe kev. don't worry about getting spanked by a higher HP car, just focus on getting out and having fun, even a stock zr1 has plenty of power to be thrilling.

thanks for the vote of confidence, we're going to have fun that's for sure and that's what the numero uno priority is in my book.

if you are paying and not having fun, it's best to not!!!

Another possible idea would be to have a detailer booth/tent who could charge a reasonable price for an engine bay detail. Many of us keep up the interior/exterior, but dread the work it takes to detail the engine and other components in the bay.

spanked....

Okay - I got an email from Dallas and the NMCA have the track booked for that thursday as well. Unfortunately that means we would have to go along with them again, and of course only 3 runs again.

I don't feel like bothering with all that bs (and it is a lot of bs) just to get a few runs down the track. I want to be able to get a lot of runs and it just isn't going to happen on that weekend. There are no other 1/4 mile tracks close to BG, so that is off the list as well.

I vote we have the gathering another time such that we can rent the track for our own use. I know some guys don't care about running down the track, but frankly, the whole point of owning a performance car to me, is to see how it performs! It is just too damn agonizing to see all those fine cars and not drive 'em how they were designed to be driven. What can I tell ya?

because registration is open and many have made plans I honestly don't know how feasible it is to move this years gathering date.

that's a bummer about the track on thursday night. thanks for looking into this.

I'm with Dwight on this one, since then I could obviously make it....but as Ron said, that would screw things up for those that have already made plans. There's always next year I guess.

My wife and I are planning to make a trip out East in 2008. I would sure like to plan it around the Gathering. A later date would be great for this trip. Possibly Mid-June??? I am just curious if the weather would be good out that way around then?
