okay, well last year was something new for me. Im sorry we didnt go for any twisty-turvy runs or anything, my car was coughing and sputtering and what-have-you.

I have another issue now: rust repair. I was throwing the idea of a tech session or something....

Just a thought. I know rust-repair is something that most people dont like doing at all (and something I feel bad asking for help with) but after this major hurdle, I'm done and I will have a DD 914....


lemme knwo what you think.

Depending on a few things, like when, I may be in

Posted by: bd1308 Jan 24 2006, 09:01 PM

last year it was in May...but I'm pretty flexible.

I was thinking about a multi-day thing too, if that sits well with people....

*shrugs* i'm just throwing things out there for the people.

I'd like to meet more of you all.....

Hey man, pick a date and start planning. We can set you up a forum and find some volunteers to help.

A KY party? I am sure Matt and Aaron would love to join in on that one.

Amazing how fast those responses came from both of you guys. Did I hit a sensitive spot Aaron? At least Matt went along with it and played it up. Was that Doctor for your Aaron?

Posted by: Aaron Cox Jan 24 2006, 09:41 PM

just poking fun. taking a study break. then a cuervo break

matt knows i dont use KY...

Posted by: bd1308 Jan 24 2006, 09:48 PM

I use BOSCH distributor grease.....

let's see....it has to be after derby time...

it was may 22nd (?) last year, so lets make it just around the same time frame, so lets say may 20th-21st?

that covers both saturday and sunday, for those folks who are unable to make one or the other...There are a couple of hotels right off the expressway and near the park which we met at last year. The caveat this year is that I assumably will have a meet or something at my house (maybe) [like 5 minutes from the Park] for the techsession(?)

maybe DDD could whip up another tech quiz....?

Hey Britt,
I am in! Dad would probably in as well. What did you guys do last year? There are worse places to drive than around the horse farms of central KY, lots of curvy roads! Just let me know the details when they develop.

Hey Britt, I would like to help out with this. Mid to late May would be good. If it's allright, lets meet in Lexington. I have access to the Kentucky Horse Park for a gathering point, picnic, car show, etc. I know a bunch of good roads in the area and there are plenty of nearby hotels. Let me know. Robby.

Posted by: bd1308 Jan 24 2006, 10:45 PM

okay..sounds good to me. I believe we discussed this last year.

Let's say May Sat. 13 and Sun. 14. I'll mark it on my 914club calender. Everybody check you schedules. Beautiful place and easy to find. Sign up here so we can judge the interest and make plans.

Posted by: robby750 Jan 24 2006, 11:01 PM

Posted by: Bartlett 914 Jan 24 2006, 11:01 PM

My schedule is always in flux. If there is any chance I will make it.

Posted by: black73 Jan 24 2006, 11:01 PM

Put me down as a definite....maybe.( I hate commitment)

Posted by: BarberDave Jan 25 2006, 05:24 AM

I'll try try to make it. You might check with Mid America, so as noty to conflict with Tweeks Funfest. It,s in the first part of June,usually. Dave

I just checked the Air Cooled Funfest is June 3&4th .
Btw I think thats the first time( i have seen them refer to it as the Air Cooled Funfest. HUMMMMMMM Dave

Posted by: seanery Jan 25 2006, 07:41 AM

Do you guys wanna call this the Bluegrass Classic or something? I'll set you up a space in the planner's forum once you give me a name.

Posted by: robby750 Jan 25 2006, 07:55 AM

Catch name. Sounds good.

Posted by: bd1308 Jan 25 2006, 08:14 AM

could some people in the area help me with my rust-o-ration then after this?

probably will be close to this timeframe.

grasshopper, if you are able to make it on the 19th-20th or close to that, come on down and we'll hang out.

I'll be there too, sounds like fun, lemme know how I can help. A drive would be cool. I'm not sure about Halls though. We ate there about 2 weeks ago and the employees all looked liked illegal immigrants or carnies. My wife got food poisioning so bad we had to go to the ER.


Maybe it is just off season.

Posted by: Bertus Jan 31 2006, 06:57 AM

It has been a couple years since I have been there, food poisoning not good!

Posted by: mudfoot76 Jan 31 2006, 07:43 AM

I'm not sure about either of the proposed weekends yet, but I'll surely try to be there this year!

I will be off of school for the summer so I "should" be able to make it. Can someone give me a zip so I can see how feasable it will be (how friggen far)?

Posted by: flatout Jan 31 2006, 10:25 AM

Yea, that sounds like fun. . Just let me know when and were.

Posted by: bd1308 Jan 31 2006, 10:26 AM

i'm in 40241..and Lex is about an hour(?) from me....

My family is from the NJ area, and I love a drink called Boost. If you see any (in PA) and are able to come to KY for the get-together, i'll repay you..but not like aaron repays people.

Posted by: Engman Jan 31 2006, 11:46 AM

Keep me informed - Put me down for a door prize donation.

Dr. Evil a Lexington Zip is 40503. I don't know how close Harrisburg PA is to you but we drive through on our way to NY about twice a year, with 2 kids and having to stop frequently it takes about 8 hous. I'd say without kids you might be able to get it down to 7 maybe.
