The OFFICIAL "I'll be at SDAC-18" Thread

[DC Turismo]

Who else is planning on being there no matter what?! :thumb:

[Clay]

Ill be at SDAC.

so will the wifey and my son :)

woo hoo! cant wait!

[cordes]

If I can't make it there, I have bigger problems than not making it to SDAC, that's for sure.

[moparfwdsleeper]

:)It's being consider, SDAC or Carlisle... I want to go to both, see Jackson's 91 Daytona Shelby. But can only work in one with my work schedule... Been wanting to attent sense signing up on the boards and learning about SDAC, was wanting to bring the CSX though...

[2.216VTurbo]

I'm down for 18 and 19 and... Every SDAC from 17 on out:amen:

[supercrackerbox]

80% sure at this point.

[BadAssPerformance]

I'm down for 18 and 19 and... Every SDAC from 17 on out:amen: Skipping the Everclear this year though:yuck:

:lol:

I'll be there, hopefully with a BadAss Z this year :thumb:

[Turbodave]

I'll be there! If I could only do one car show all year SDAC would be it.

[turbovanman²]

Not this year, :(

[Turbo3Iroc]

[fleckster]

I'm so there...(as always)

[Frank]

I am there also! I am going to drive the CSX out.

[jamesmonty]

Too close not to go. Already have the time off.

[Frank]

Well I just officially asked for the time off for both SDAC and Carlisle

[mcsvt]

I'll be there with who knows what.

[overlordsshadow]

I'll be there next year as long as the Shadow doesn't go totally tits up. Hoping to bring along the brother with the tuna and a buddy with srt4.

[slasky]

I'll be there!!!!!!

[uwilluz]

Pretty sure Nate (88_pacifica) and I are going.

[j4278h]

I'll be there popping my SDAC cherry. Probably dragging along 5-6 local guys with me.

Please folks, keep this on topic. If you want to talk about your drinking or drink of choice, start a thread in the lounge.

I have edited the posts (or removed the ones) regarding drinking alcohol.

Barry

[Pat]

Time off already approved....I'm there!

[85shelbycharger]

Just talked to my boss, and I'm good to go for SDAC and Carlisle! :partywoot: :partywoot: Now to decide which car to take...

[UPSIDE-DOWN-FACE]

I'll be there popping my SDAC cherry. Probably dragging along 5-6 local guys with me.


deuce and i will cruise with ya for sure. where and when is it?

[Orangetona]

Time is already taken off, I should be there.

[Directconnection]

I always wanted to go to SDAC, and especially one in MI. Visit the Walter P. Chrysler museum and have Barry reccomend other places to visit (if not too far away) Maybe even visit a certain someone with the initials KJS.

At this point... 33% though as only one week vacation, and I really need to get a new roof on this place.

[bradp]

I'll be there with my stepson (14) and maybe Mike (Zin) if he comes out from CA to ride along and Nate if he doesn't ride with Joel.

[Companynine]

I'll be there. I may have an Omni, maybe the Lancer again, maybe towing somebody else's car.

But I'll be there. No bells, though.

[BadAssPerformance]

timmay! :)

[neonkitten63]

I will be there with bells on! :)
3 months and 3 days left! :)

False. She's getting married in Kauai. And I still don't have a date. Do none of you pay attention? You'd think this was a car forum or something. http://smiliesftw.com/x/laugh2.gif (http://smiliesftw.com)

Nothing to do with being married, I think that's just Alan. :lol: :o

Ok, back on topic: I won't be at SDAC 18. Maybe I should :bolt: from this thread then. :o

[shadow88]

I booked the time off work yesterday.

[johnl]

Cleared it with wifey.

Do ya think a Rampage can pull a GLHT on a two wheel dolley? Anyone done it? Seen it?

[contraption22]

Cleared it with wifey.

Do ya think a Rampage can pull a GLHT on a two wheel dolley? Anyone done it? Seen it?

It'll pull it.....

But more importantly, can it stop more than double it's own weight safely?

[sdac guy]

Cleared it with wifey.

Do ya think a Rampage can pull a GLHT on a two wheel dolley? Anyone done it? Seen it?As Mike said, it'll pull it, and brakes might be iffy on flat land. Going up and down the Rockies might be quite a challenge though (maybe even scary).

Barry

[fleckster]

You have time to upgrade your Rampage's brakes to the 11" R/T front set up and some rear discs with good performance pads that might make it possible.

[2.216VTurbo]

Cleared it with wifey.

Do ya think a Rampage can pull a GLHT on a two wheel dolley? Anyone done it? Seen it?

I sure as heck am going to try it at some point, that's why I built a six point of attachment class III hitch reciever for the Heaviest Rampage in the world. I think I'll try a somewhat shorter trip than to Motor City though:o

Why don't you just help John out and drive one of his cars there? Screw flying out, make it a road trip:eyebrows:

[DC Turismo]

Alan:

I've pulled my 88 shadow with my 89 Spirit TI auto using a tow dolley. It pulls fine and the dolly has trailer brakes on it so it stops fine but just doesn't feel all that great at speed. I've only pulled short distances with it. The longest being 2 hrs from Milwaukee to Green Bay. The biggest thing is the spirit doesn't have the weight so it tugs and pulls when hitting bumps. It could be done but I don't think it would be that enjoyable of a drive for any long haul.

[ATaylorRacing]

Cleared it with wifey.

Do ya think a Rampage can pull a GLHT on a two wheel dolley? Anyone done it? Seen it?

Back in 1984 I used a 1984 Plymouth Horizon (with a HO motor in it) to pull my 1981 Horizon using a tow bar....It did it okay, but the ex wifes 81 Reliant pulled it with more control....still scarry....the track was in FLAT Indiana and only 20 miles from home...I ended up selling the 81 and drag racing Matchbox!:D

[ATaylorRacing]

Matchbox and I will be there.....the inconsistancy problems of last year are now gone...and now that I am officially retired I don't have to kill at the post office to get days off when needed... just got to find a baby sitter!

[slasky]

Matchbox and I will be there.....the inconsistancy problems of last year are now gone..

the only inconsistancy problem you had last year was with beating me. :)

[dodgeshadowchik]

Yep, like Dave said, Saturday morning. Northsiders probably meet at my house then we'll meet up with everyone on I-80 somewhere, maybe where I-294 hits like Mattson? :thumb:

[nBALLS]

:mecry: I wanna go!!!! Darn it :(

Don't worry Sally, you'll go next year, and by that time you'll have an S car. :nod: :thumb:

[seanjnl1]

I will be going. I will have a supply of my Daytona/Laser books for sale.

I will also be bringing my 87 Daytona Pacifica for sale, unless it gets sold ahead of time.

[Juggy]

Jon

[welby]

I'll be there for sure. I'm glad Jason mentioned it today otherwise I would felt like a real moron missing SDAC right in my own backyard.

[DC Turismo]

So how about some pics to preview what cars we'll be seeing out there this year guys? :evil:

[mustangsally]

Don't worry Sally, you'll go next year, and by that time you'll have an S car. :nod: :thumb:

Well IF I make it, I'd like to shoot for meeting up with you guys for the second half of the trip. But it's going to depend mostly upon me being able to get the time off from work.

[Juggy]

What car did oyu have at 15?


actually I just tagged along that year, my car wasnt up to snuff to be able to make the 4 hour drive.
I had rolled up with Dean stillie (rampage) Frank V (radiant red's 91 dodge shadow) Brad (92 white iroc 8v) and the infamous scott h (91 black spirit ES) as well as John R (who I think taggged along as well). Ryan (J n H bodies) came out with us canadians as well :thumb:.....but I dont think he's looking to room with us again hahaha!

this year I should have 2 cars there, 87 shelby charger (the nice clean one 8valves sold :D) and 87 CSX #657...just need 2 find someone to drive the CSX over....quite possibly with a 4 sale sign :(

[BadAssPerformance]

Well IF I make it, I'd like to shoot for meeting up with you guys for the second half of the trip. But it's going to depend mostly upon me being able to get the time off from work.

Sounds cool, we can definitely plan a meetup spot for the folks travelly by Chicago :thumb:

Carlisle or SDAC-18?
I have gone to Carlsile the last couple years and thought THIS TIME I should go to SDAC. (Maybe both). So I will be there. Want to bring my car but I will have to fly. I can't afford 5000 miles in fuel. (almost $700 or $1000 if I tow).

See you there this year!

[turboshad]

I've been tossing around the idea of making it this year. It really hinges on alot of variables like.......... I don't know......... getting the car done. Current goal is May 24th weekend which would only leave me a few weeks to work out the quircks and get it tuned for a 40 hour drive. Sure would love to come though.

You could always try to convince your sister and future bro-in-law to get married in Detroit. "You know, the plane tickets are cheaper, lodging is cheaper, and the weather is not bad either."

:lol:

Somehow, I don't think that would go over very well.

[Johnny]

but johnny what if there is a road course ?
I would love to play on a road course, or even better, an autocross.
BUT my car (GLHS) will not be ready and the wagon ether. Just been too busy bulding my new place to live and the new shop.
Really, the real reason is 5000 miles of fuel cost. I am sure you all understand that. If the GLHS was ready it gets 30 mpg so it wouldn't be too bad. But after spending so much on a new shop, wallet is thin this year. (But I love the new shop).

Johnny

[Radiant_Red]

I will definetly be there.......

i just found out where it was so i'll be there every day just like the woodward dream cruise, its officially only on saturday, but we start on monday and by saturday you have the biggest car event in the nation!!!

A buddy of mine used to have a ball cap that said "I'm so badass I vacation in Detroit". Might have to borrow that for the trip if he still has it . . .

I am glad you are planning on comming. I'm sure take a few weeks away from your car and and hanging out at SDAC will renew your interest in the hobby.

SDAC got me very fired up to work on my cars last year...

or in some cases, like mine, it will get you fired up to get your car back together in time for sdac.:thumb:

[DC Turismo]

Thankfully this year, none of that tear apart the week of SDAC, repaint, and reassemble by the official kickoff night of the event this year!

[supercrackerbox]

Oh don't worry, I still have every intention of coming if at all possible. I'm still planning on being in Phoenix by this time next year, so this could be my last chance for quite a while.

Yeah, I still can't believe you even attempted that, much less managed to pull it off! :clap:

Yeah, I still can't believe you even attempted that, much less managed to pull it off! :clap:

Eh, it needed done and that was the only time we had to do it, so it was do or die at that point. I wasn't able to take care of some little things on it (painting strut tower and hoodscoop bolts, doing a little bit of wetsand and polishing, etc) but it worked out perfectly in the end! :thumb:

[supercrackerbox]

Any unexpected financial dilemmas aside, it will depend entirely upon the job. I'll have about three days of vacation available at that point, plus 5 sick days (haven't missed a day yet), so I should be able to swing it. Supervisor would probably crap a brick if I call in sick that many days, but he'll cope.

[J&H Ryan]

I'm getting married on the 21st :mad:

Guess its time to cancel a ceremony...

I'll be living about 6 miles from Chrysler HQ too... Maybe if I'm lucky the honeymoon wont be the next day???

congrats ryan!!! its still early, it would be easier to talk her into getting married a week earler than it would be a week later, she might think your chickening out if you try the later of the 2, LOL.

is it suppose to be in the HQ area (auburn hills), or actually in detroit?

[DC Turismo]

We'll find out more within the next few weeks, and I, for one, am stoked! Hopefully we can take a photo of our cars in front of the headquarters building. J.T., isn't it you who has a pic. of the BAP Daytona in front of the Pentastar statue out front? Is that still there?

even better than that is the huge penstar on top of the HQ, you can see it when you pass by on the I-75 freeway.

Nice shots JT! I definitely want to get my picture in front of that buildling. Do they still allow it, or was that just a rebellious venture lol....


GLHT, I'll be looking for that as we drive by. That isn't in the section where there's construction though, is it?

[glht_omni]

thats an old pic, there is no big construction plans for I-75 in michigan yet that i have heard of. they actually have most of it new from the last 15 years of construction on it.

you can pull up there and take a pic, the compound is big and people go there for all types of business, security is all on the inside. i actually got to go inside the hq 3 days in a row for 30 hours total when i worked for Palmer moving that has the account for the big 3, U of M college and a few big hospitals.
but i did get to wander off on break and see the photo studio which is octagoned like on the interior walls and they had about 12 cars, (this was in 2002) all were unbadged and they had the srt 4 neon, the new stratus r/t, renegade, charger, avenger, durango, sebring, srt10 etc.
too bad camera phones werent common back then.

[sdac guy]

GLHT, I'll be looking for that as we drive by. That isn't in the section where there's construction though, is it? No, the construction where I-75 is closed in both directions until late 2009 is actually in the city of Detroit (about 20 miles south of Chrysler Tech Center).

We will have good directions to avoid that mess in the newsletter, on our website, and in this forum well before any one sets out to travel to the event. We need to have our host hotel and other venues firmed up before we publish directions though.

You are aware that the dates as announced for SDAC are 6-21 to 6-24/25?

[contraption22]

I'm counting down the days.....

[bluneon]

so he'll spend an extra week?

[Anonymous_User]

Yes, but there is no other way. I can get there on the company's dime and hang around Friday/Saturday (Fri the 20th if anyone else is early!). Would have to return home on the 22.

[neonkitten63]

I know the philly group will be there Friday! :) Woo hoo!

[glht_omni]

i was in the chrysler hq neighborhood yesterday and spotted a new red challenger on the road, i had to do a double take cause i know they arent available to the public yet.

[glht_omni]

when is the letter going out so we can find out all the details, like exact location, track and hotel?

[sdac guy]

when is the letter going out so we can find out all the details, like exact location, track and hotel?As of this past Friday, we have a very nice host hotel, but the registration info (dates, rates, etc) is not in their computer yet. We will release that info here as soon as we get it (watch the thread in SDAC Events sub-forum). The contract for the road course was at the PO box when I checked it today. We still have not finalized the contracts with the drag strip nor the car show site, though I expect to have that completed in the next week to 10 days.

We will put that info and the tentative schedule here as soon as those items are firmed up. After that I will get the SDAC website updated so we can start taking pre-registrations. THEN the next issue of the newsletter will have all that info and a pre-registration form for those folks that like to pay registration fees by check.

we love you barry!!!!! what would we do without your dedication?

http://www.marriott.com/hotels/hotel-photos/dtwpo-detroit-marriott-pontiac-at-centerpoint/

Yep, it's a nice place. When Craig & I went on a tour of it Friday, we walked into the lobby and the floor is all polished marble interspersed with expensive plush carpeting. We both rolled our eyes and I looked at Craig and said, "Can you imagine a cart with a set of slicks being rolled across here?" :lol::lol:

And when we stepped out of the elevator on the 9th floor, the new carpeting just dazzled us. Then we went into a 'single' room, Wow! :thumb: There will be folks attending that probably won't want to leave their room for the events. :D Everywhere we went in there was nice. Next to the indoor pool is the completely new workout room with all new treadmills, stair steppers, etc.

The price they list for the rooms range from $159 a night for a single to $279 per night for the quad rate. But for our folks all of those are $89 per night.
All rooms are non-smoking. Most of the hotels we looked at were also non-smoking and it looked to us like most places are going that route. If it is discovered that someone has smoked in a room, they will be assessed a $250 clean up charge on their bill. So don't smoke in there!


Barry

[cordes]

There is no way they will let us back in that place. This is going to be great!

[sdac guy]

There is no way they will let us back in that place. This is going to be great! Yeah, well that was said about the Drawbridge Inn in Cincinnati too. There was a ton of hijinks in that lot. But the morning I left I got a great big thank you from the sales manager, and she has sent me an email or called a couple times a year asking when we will be back. :thumb:

Next year? We'll see.

Barry

[DC Turismo]

From looking at the pictures, can you imagine a bunch of guys all greased up from a tranny swap in the parking lot walking through there? hahaha!

The best part though is the free breakfast in the morning, buffet or off menu... I'm so game for that!

The lady asked me if I wanted a rental car, and I told her how that wouldn't be necessary as this was a car convention so everyone will have their own cars.... BUT then I thought how nice that would be for Alan to set up right then and there lol!

This private parking lot, is it a pretty good place for us to watch/tape burnouts and other parking lot fun?? :eyebrows:

[bradp]

Reservations made....I can't wait to get the carpet and marble greasy

John

Hey John,

It's been too long...looking forward to seeing you again. The Viper & Prowler plant tour was cool last time.

[sdac guy]

I don't think a Viper plant tour is in the works for this year. IIRC, they have moved production to another plant and the old Viper/Prowler plant (that we toured at SDAC-7) is closed now.

We are looking into other "interesting" items, but they most likely will be announced only at the event, not before. That way if they don't happen it won't be a let down for everyone.

Don't see a gas station within walking or mini-bike distance though :lol:

Check out the third picture. Muahaha

[sdac guy]

Nice pics Billy!

But, just to clarify, the tall building in the center of the first two pics is the Marriot. I don't know why it is labled GM Truck Product Center. The GMC Truck assembly plant is not pictured in those first two pics. It would be to the right, across Centerpoint Dr.

And as you pointed out, there are no gas stations local to the hotel, nor a car wash that is handy either. But there are plenty of places to eat nearby.

Barry

[slasky]

It looks like a great location with plenty of trailer parking.

GM TPC is further down Centerpoint towards Smith Blvd, actually TPS East, West and North campuses. I'm sure there are a few gas stations and car washes on Smith or Woodward not too far away... :thumb:

True that! :thumb:

Cool on the extra parking, but that's kinda sad, I've had lunch there a few times.

[DC Turismo]

Thanks for correcting that then Barry. Perhaps with the rotation feature on that Live! Maps program the text didn't move with it? Because I see what you're saying lol....

An AppleBees closed there? That's astonishing, since we just had one start up business about 20 minutes away in Uniontown and it is BOOMING from the minute it opens.

Will there be a location guide provided Barry? i.e. Explaining where gas stations/car washes/stores are?

are the goody bags going to make it out before the events so extra planning could be made on deciding which places are best? or is it going to be a 'just pick one and good luck' kinda thing?

[BadAssPerformance]

Goody bags are handed out when you first show up and register at the beginning of the event, so you should have all the info right off the bat :thumb:

[supercrackerbox]

I know at SDAC-15 I was just stoked to get my Shelby koozie and dash plaque . . . :thumb:

[turbo-charger88]

definately going to try as hard as possible to get there!

[BadAssPerformance]

Sweet, we're caravaning out together from Chicago! :thumb:

[supercrackerbox]

Pretty sure the road course is out for me. Wouldn't be worth it on my current suspension, and the money to fix it would negate the money needed for the course. But I'll see what I can do.

JT/Chicago guys, when and where do you guys plan to meet up before leaving?

[BadAssPerformance]

From the north and northwest siders we'll probably meet at my place near O'Hare but then we'll pick a stop roght off of I-80 to pick up the south and west siders :thumb:

[supercrackerbox]

Cool, if all works out, maybe a Charger, Daytona, and Spirit can join up from far west side. :thumb:

[BadAssPerformance]

Kickass! :thumb:

[Blue Iroc R/T]

Maybe a couple of those Wisconsin Boys can hook up with you guys. You may end up with a BIG caravan! :thumb: I think Jackson is going to try to make it, with ONE of his cars.

^^Haha then we'll have the swat team or something visiting for an earthquake :lol:

I'm at 95% sure I'll be there. I haven't been able to do ANY thing to my cars lately and really wanted to participate with a car this year instead of just being a spectator :( It's still a great time, I'm just not reaching my goal...

great just what we need, a buch of guys standing around a car farting from 100 coney dogs, lol.

[93sundance]

I'm pretty sure I'll ride out there with my friend with the charger, or my brother in his daytona.

I don't have a car of my own to bring, but I am a FWD mopar guy at heart. It is too close to home not to show! :thumb:

^^^ That's the spirit :thumb:

[supercrackerbox]

^^Hey, that's my line!

You guys ever tried deep fried hot dogs? Drop them straight in a deep fryer until they start to get black and split open, throw it on a bun, and top it however you want. It's awesome, I promise.

if you guys want to get some extra drag racing in before the milan drag day, the detroit street races on friday and saturdays are down on French rd. behind the CITY AIRPORT, the far side of it there is a long strip with no houses or buildings, plenty of 10-13 sec cars there, anything imagineable but alot of mustangs, vettes, TA, camaros, SRT-4s and new hemi cars. its not uncommon to see 2 guys each slap a grand on the hood but there is plent of just for fun races also.

[jcronk23]

Mrs. Cronk and I are in. Brian and Ileana are riding out with us as well! Eyebrows I sent you a pm if you want to stay over Th. and roll out with us early Fr. am....

BTW (this might already be out there..but I haven't read all 12 pages yet) to all who have not registered at the hotel be aware if you ask for doubles online you will get a message that none are available. I called the hotel and they said that's probably true. I then asked if I could pay in full right now to garauntee a double bed room and he said they do not garauntee rooms. But he did say he will try an accomodate most requests...but I get the feeling it will be a "whomever get's there first scenario" and early arrivals will eat up all the doubles and late arrivals may have slim pickings???

Barry, any comment on this?

[contraption22]

If anybody is interested in staying an extra day, there is a "Cruise-In" scheduled at the Walter P Chrysler Museum for Thursday night the 26th.

[sdac guy]

and early arrivals will eat up all the doubles and late arrivals may have slim pickings???

Barry, any comment on this?Interesting.

When I made our reservations through the sales manager we had been dealing with, I thought her reaction was odd when I mentioned we needed one of our rooms to be a double, but I just shrugged it off as her not being the normal reservation clerk.

So, you guys are not the only ones finding "irregularities" in the way they book rooms. I am going to make a call on this, because I can't see how they won't/don't make the reservation exactly like your request, that just doesn't make any sense.

Barry

[sdac guy]

If anybody is interested in staying an extra day, there is a "Cruise-In" scheduled at the Walter P Chrysler Museum for Thursday night the 26th. While I haven't been to one of those as yet, a couple of the GL guys have and they say it's pretty good. Craig went as I recall.

We may have an activity for Wednesday, it's looking good right now but I don't want to say what it is until it is firmed up. We are planning awards night for Tuesday night though.

Weird Justin, my email confirmation specifically states that the two double beds are guaranteed.

Special request(s): •2 Double Beds, Guaranteed

[speeddemon]

Yup,

I've been to three or so Cruise Ins over the last couple of years. They usually have a theme for each of the nights - after a quick look I couldn't find this years schedule. Sometimes they roll cool stuff out. Here's a pic from one night last year...

[jcronk23]

Thanks Ruthie,

See it says 1 King or 2 Double (it seem slike it's their players choice...) but further down (underlined) is where it throws in the "2 double beds, not available" Perhaps enough have registered that we have hit some online capacity?

Thanks Barry, the place looks huge so I don't see why they woudn't have a good amount of double bed rooms. Perhaps if they don't have 2 doubles when I get there I can talk them into a suite or something :-) Maybe if you talk to them you can bring up this issue with them to see if they are at their capacity and truly out?

Heads up: The divided road in the foreground of the map above is Square Lake Rd.
Between the hotel and Woodward Ave. which is a 1/2 mi. west, the speed limit is 50 and the cops hide in the apartment complex just to west of the hotel(to the left of the pool). Be cool, trust me.

Glad to have you all coming to Detroit. You'll have a great time.

Thanks Mike. I had some one else tell me about that exact same speed trap yesterday. He told me the guy will nail for 5 mph over and while the ticket he writes isn't a points ticket, it does cost $135, and there is no use fighting it. We will have a notice in the goody bag about it so folks will be warned.


Mike, are you suggesting the cops may hear our parking lot antics? I don't think so. The area of the lot in the back next to the RR tracks is in a sunken area which will tend to dampen any noise. From the back lot, the first 3-4 floors of the motel cannot be seen, it is down that low.

Between the hotel and Woodward Ave. which is a 1/2 mi. west, the speed limit is 50 and the cops hide in the apartment complex just to west of the hotel(to the left of the pool). Be cool, trust me.

Glad to have you all coming to Detroit. You'll have a great time.

So it sounds like you as one of the locals will be 'hosting' the event Mike:eyebrows:? I'll settle for another ride in the Masi Daytona:hail: I've never been in a TD that puts the power to the ground like that car:clap: Big power and wheelspin is fun stuff but your Daytona simply attacks the road:thumb:

This place is 29 minutes away from Pontiac, MI. I'm thinking about making a drive over to see 'em.

If that VNT shadow is in good shape that would be a great buy.

There are other places in the area you can really step on the gas. I'll give out those in person at the hotel. Of course, you can legally go as fast as you like(as long as you stay on the track) by signing up for the road course day at Waterford Hills.
Make sure to check out a great local watering hole: The Moose Preserve. Go 1/2 mi. west on Square Lake Rd. Hang a right on Woodward Ave. and it's just past the Shell.

Oh... I don't know anything about it, just stumbled upon the site while surfing the web.
