And here are the basic directions...
Leaving Lawrenceburg take I-275 South towards Kentucky.
You will be looking for the Burlington/Hebron/State Route 237 Exit.
Turn right onto SR 237.
Stay on SR 237 for about 5 miles.
This will intersect with State Route 18.
Turn left onto SR 18.
The first light will be Burgundy Hills. (about a quarter mile)
Turn right onto Burgundy Hills. This will take you in between a Walgreens and a Krogers.
Continue past Krogers and you will enter the apartment complex in about 100 yards.
Turn right into the complex, the office will be on your right.
My building is 1807 on the far side of the parking lot.

[Reeves]

Parents have to work.
Katie will be coming with me. But she's one of those buckn f*ckeyes (Ohio).
Unless this is one of those Gentlemen Only Ladies Forbidden outings? I know we used to have some of those in the winter time?

:confused:

Everyone is welcome! I'm trying to coax my Indiana friend to drop by later as well. Just remember that there tends to be a lot of gas expelled at these things. ;)

What he said! If you can't make it to the go-karts, drop by and have some pizza!

:p True story:

2 weeks ago the Wife's Intrepid was backed into while parked on the street in front of our house, about 2 months after the Woody was hit at Ken's!!

Maybe I should paint targets on all our cars..... ;)

Won't be able to make it now. Need to swap brant's tranny. While I'm at it, going to pull the head and swap the turbo. I'll be busy most of the weekend.

his car took a dump last night

[Mike_Shepard]

That sux Ken. Too bad im unable to come down there, I'd like to hang out again and maybe catch a few lessons from a fellow TD'er

That sucks.
And I had a couple nice looking headliners all ready for you too. :)

[Reeves]

I'll be running a little late. Getting ready now. Just got the hood finished and back on...had to do a re-do for a boo-boo.

Katie is coming too.

[GLHSKEN]

Thanks Dave. I'll be over to pick them up soon.

8 hours. had the head and trans out in 3 hrs took 3 to set-up the new head and turbo then slowed down and took 2 to install the trans and bolt the head on. just need to hook everything up tomorrow... Flex plate bolt section fell out on disassembly WOW... thankfully I have 3 more... I'm beat

[R/T]

A fun time was had by all, and best of all:

2 fastest times Saturday OVERALL, as in everyone who raced there, all day:

My Sons!!! :thumb:

Brian was .06 faster than Nathan (turboshadow) at the karts, but that's OK Nathan's car is .02 quicker at the strip...... :p

SPECIAL THANKS TO DAVE ABNEY FOR HAVING US OVER!!!! :nod:

[Reeves]

I only did one race since I was late getting there, but got to drive two carts! Ended up blowing out the right rear tire on my first cart 8 laps into the race. Switched carts and made 6 more laps.

On the first cart my fastest lap was lap 7 at 27.248 seconds. On the 2nd cart (a better cart, but I didn't get a chance to really get used to it) was my 2nd lap at 27.050 seconds.

I may not be the fastest in the twisties, but both times I've been there I got to blow out a tire! :D That has to count for something doesn't it?

And BIG THANKS to Dave for letting us hang at his house!

[Reeves]

Thanks Dave. I'll be over to pick them up soon.

8 hours. had the head and trans out in 3 hrs took 3 to set-up the new head and turbo then slowed down and took 2 to install the trans and bolt the head on. just need to hook everything up tomorrow... Flex plate bolt section fell out on disassembly WOW... thankfully I have 3 more... I'm beat

What do you mean the flex plate bolt section fell out on disassembly? The flex plate was no longer being driven anymore by the engine?

I may have some major work myself today. Seems I may have cracked a piston in the van last night on the way home (yes, having a little fun). And I still ain't got no heat in it! :(

[stealthydave]

My pleasure, guys and girls. It's been a few years since we did the winter thing. It was fun, as always.

By the way, who did the burnout in the parking lot by the clubhouse? :)

[Reeves]

Not I. The engine/trans would have fell out of the van if I tried that!
Update on the van:
#1, 2 and 3 spark plugs looked perfect. #4 plug was completely crushed and full of oil. Son of a beatch!
Compression test:
#1 = 85psi Son of a !
#2 = 110psi
#3 = 102psi
#4 = 110psi
WTF?

Put in new plugs and made a cool catch can out of some flat stock steel, a coffee can and a hose clamp! Van's puking oil now, but hitting on all 4's again!
