Turbopalooza 2008!!! Oct. 25, 2008!

[R/T]

It's that time again, the Ohio Valley Chapter, Shelby Dodge Auto Club's season ending drag racin' BASH, TURBOPALOOZA!!! :clap:

WHERE: TriState Dragway, Hamilton, Ohiya - near Cincinnati
www.tristatedragway.com

WHEN: Saturday, October 25th - 12 noon till 5 PM

WHAT: We invade their Tune & Test with Turbo Mopars. :amen:

WHY: It's a great time, all are welcome, cars running or not.
Make new friends, see old friends, put faces to screen names.
We often get 30 + cars from all across the Eastern/Midwest
USA, and even Kanada!
It has turned into one of the bigger events in the Turbo Mopar
community, come and see why!! :nod:

And after the racing, an afterparty at an undisclosed location.... :eyebrows:

Usually held at Edgewater, a change in their schedule forces move to TriState - No biggie.

If the weather is bad, then we invade the indoor Kart track in nearby Lawrenceburg, Indiana.

It's a Win / Win!!! :number1:

BE THERE!!!

More details to come.....:D

UPDATE: Due to several schedule conflicts, we need to move this to October 25th....Mmmkay??? ;)

[1qk4dr]

Sweet, maybe I'll finally be able to represent this year!

[jamesmonty]

I will be there with or without the omni. Had a blast last year at the track, and the afterparty... Well, hope they stocked up on sparklers.

[cordes]

I would just like to say that I had some of the most fun in recent memory last year. That Mustang GT Turbo was well worth the drive alone. I still find myself laughing about that from time to time. Great people and a great time for sure. :nod:

I really want to be able to make it again this year, but I will have to see. I bet Joy has class again this year. Fingers crossed.

[Mike_Shepard]

If all goes well I wont be missing this this year

[BadAssPerformance]

Might be a couple cars down from Chicago this year :)

[88_pacifica]

I plan on it again...

[mcsvt]

Wish I could, I'll be at a wedding in PA that weekend.

[Clay]

Goes with out saying, but Ill say it anyway. Ill be there!

[R/T]

Mods, we need a stickie!!!

[BadAssPerformance]

Sounds good man, we need to represent the Trotters! See you there my brother. :thumb:

I hope you have another Mopar by then. You did lose the war, remember. ;)



Wish I could, I'll be at a wedding in PA that weekend.



Bad timing... have to be at a wedding that day. :mad:

:censored:

Both of you....They'll get married again, don't bother with the first go around. If this the second time, they DEFINITELY will get married again, so save your gift money and come. :D

[Clay]

[fleckster]

I just hate the fact that it will be at Tri-State instead of the usual Edgewater due to the later time-change.

I was going to say that the wedding couple would be so excited about getting married, that they won't even know you are missing...but I like your response much better!

[fleckster]

Don't be hatin' jusss be RACIN!!! :thumb:


My Spirit is broken...(pun intended)

[fleckster]

Do you guys realize that this is Halloween Weekend, actually the day after Halloween? There could be conflict for people with parties and/or hangovers from the ones that night before. When does Edgewater switch to day racing?

[R/T]

UPDATE:

Due to schedule conflicts, looks like Oct 25th is it!!!

I always try to schedule a week *before* the track closes for a rain date, but there's always the indoor karts if wet out.... :nod:

October 25!!!

[R/T]

When does Edgewater switch to day racing?


They don't now because of the longer daylight savings time - now lasts till Thanksgiving...

That's the problem....

[1qk4dr]

I wonder if that will still give me enough time for my RT build. I have the motor pretty much assembled. Just need to get some odds and ends purchased. If not I'll just bring pictures,lol.

[contraption22]

Well it looks like due to the reschedule, Ruthie and I will likely be unable to attend. Good luck all, and have a great time!

[Reeves]

Due to the reschedule, I will also not be able to attend. :( I will most likely be in Chicago.

Why the reschedule?

[neonkitten63]

:( Booo!

[BadAssPerformance]

:( Booo!

No drunken hug-n-walk for you! :(

[neonkitten63]

No drunken hug-n-walk for you! :(
Nope, Ill have to wait for SDAC-19 I guess!

[BadAssPerformance]

Bummer.... and I want to see that Contraption run too :(

Hmmm... the 8th is the 2nd saturday so our usual CL meeting date... Might have to make an adjustment to the 15th so we can make it to TP! :thumb:

Heh, heh, I need TP for my... Shelby Dodge! :D

[contraption22]

Well if you have your heart set on seeing my car run, you can come out to Cecil a few weeks later:)

[BadAssPerformance]

Nov 8th + few weeks = snow? :(

[neonkitten63]

Maybe for you guys....lol.

[cordes]

Nov 8th + few weeks = snow? :(

I think we were there on the 3rd last year? If that was a normal year I don't think we will have to worry about any snow. Heck, we hardly get any flurries down here before thanksgiving JT. :nod:

[ekimdam]

So what to do about all the schedule conflicts???

OVC Lets get the PM's going and find out what day works.

[neonkitten63]

Mike and I vote 11/1/08 since its tradition! :)

[contraption22]

What was the scheduling conflict that resulted in the schedule change, just out of curiousity?

[mw6886]

Who the hell is getting married?

[fleckster]

?????

[R/T]

Update to the Update:

After some OVC debate -

How does October 25th sound??? :confused2:

Need input, howzabout this date???

Comments please...... :)

[minigts]

I am for the original date. Who cares if it's close to Halloween, unless the track is going to be closed? I'm there either way, so whatever.

[neonkitten63]

:eyebrows:

[fleckster]

I say moving it forward, back into October isn't a good idea. I am good with the original date (Nov. 1) or the following Saturday (Nov. 8th).

I guess I'm to blame for this as I just posed the question, "will this interfere with some people's Halloween parties?" I hope that didn't lead to all this mess. I won't affect my plans but I was just asking about others.

[neonkitten63]

:dancingbana:

[BIGBRUDDA]

Just what is the BIGGEST stumbling point here? The track? Accomodations? Personal schedule?:confused2:

[minigts]

Just set it for the original date and be done with it. :thumb: Problem solved. I have no intentions on missing it, but if for some reason work or something else conflicts, so be it. Anyone who can plan for this either is planning or has been planning to be there for a while, so I would stick to your first instincts and say 11/1/08 or for AustrianDodge, 1/11/08. :D

[Reeves]

If we have it on the 1st, we may have to get a host hotel for everyone to party at and for trailer parking.

[R/T]

What he said..... :yuck:

Let's just say it's an issue with accomidations being available on the 1st...

The October 25th date would solve the issue.

Mmmkay??? :confused2:

No matter what date we pick, it will be good for some, bad for others. :banghead:

If that is the case, then I really don't care so long as it isn't the first.

[1qk4dr]

It's hard to plan to Get Togethers like this for only one weekend. As everyone here knows it is a fun event and nice to see old friends and meet new ones. If you miss this event this year make sure you come to the Spring Fling 2009.

Tracy, I'll be fine with whatever date is chosen. I'll try to make it out there.


BTW- I can't believe I've been going to this event for more than 10 years now and OVC Spring Fling 2007 was part of my Bachelor party,lol.

[BIGBRUDDA]

The 25ths awful close to myBIRTHDAY!!:clap: I don't want to :overshadow" palooza.:D

[badandy]

Bad timing... have to be at a wedding that day. :mad:

:censored:

BOOOOOOO!....and stuff

[jamesmonty]

Pick a date, any date, so I can ask off work.

[slasky]

When is it????? I am thinking about coming. I have not gotten stuck on the side of the road for 5 hours in a couple of months.

[speeddemon]

Have fun guys, we'll be running the GL Colour Tour event that weekend.

[R/T]

Do you have to race to win?

No....

[cordes]

How are we taking the measurements on mileage? via the route traveled once one leaves their home?

[BadAssPerformance]

Damnit... was gonna try to do that this year :(

[Reeves]

Cool, deal! btw, i fixed your tyepo ;)

Which one? LOL! :p

I also hear rumors that some other awards will be available for not only longest distance "driven", but also best 60 ft. time and best et of the day. Possibly more to come (as some of us drink more and think of them).

Disclaimer: We like, gotta get this stuff made and stuff.....so you may or may not get it the day of the race. We have a good plan (Abney, you here?) and thought of a dude to make the stuff (Lugert...um, like...you here?)....so, you know...you may get it that night...but...who knows.

MULTIPLE PRIZES! You guys are getting me really worked up for this.

[Reeves]

If anyone needs any parts, shoot me a pm and I can bring them along to TurboPalooza. OR, plan on an hour drive to my place where you can see tons and tons of parts that will be available for grabs for good prices. Bring beer for better deals.

[minigts]

Charger stuff? :D I need another headliner due to technical malfunctions. I have the orginal, but it's broke so another one that is complete would be ideal.

[BIGBRUDDA]

We should start a "PALOOZA EXPRESS " shipping and recieving thread. Broker empty space in your car or truck. Find parts to be shipped or relayed across the region.:D


Whatcha think O mighty mods?A sticky thread for shipping?

[contraption22]

Ken has a charger in my barn...he might want to give it up.

And put a link to it here so we can find it.

[contraption22]

Is there a hotel close by that folks are staying at? Last time I we stayed at one near the city and it was fairly far from the festivities.

Thanks for the offer but we would hate to make you leave Ken's just for us. Maybe we will just experiment with Mike to find an allergy pill he can take and drink with...lol! :)

Combining Claritin with alcohol may increase the effects of alcohol.

So you were going to allow Mike and I to stay at your house unsupervised??? You do realize your house would be empty by the time you returned...all your belongings would be on EBAY! Thank goodness we are bringing the Jeep! LMAO!!!:lol::clap::evil::nod::p:love:

[BIGBRUDDA]

Ok for those of you seeking accomodations.:wave1: There are 3 hotels within 10 mi of Kens for $43-$60. DaysInns or Super 8s. Or,search for Alexandria, Kentucky;)
Our gas prices have been stablizing in the $3.50-$3.75 range. Check www.gasbuddy.com for the latest.

For those of you "on the fence", about coming.:confused: Additional fun can be had at Kings Island, they're Halloween Haunt fest.:wow1: Adm fri eve 7pm-1am/$19.99, Sun 11am-1am $25.99.
Or we could just go "hill-hoppin" :partywoot:out behind Kens place.:eyebrows:

[fleckster]

For the first time ever since I started hanging out with the OVC Crew, I will have to miss Turbopalooza due to a scheduling conflict. I hope you guys (and gals) have a great time!

[GLHSKEN]

Charger stuff? :D I need another headliner due to technical malfunctions. I have the orginal, but it's broke so another one that is complete would be ideal.

Have one here......

[neonkitten63]

So sorry to hear that Fleck....see you in June!!! :)

[GLHSKEN]

BOOOOOO Boooooo Fleck...

[Clay]

yeah BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!! :(

[88_pacifica]

WTF Fleck? What's the conflict?

[contraption22]

Yeah wtf!?

[fleckster]

Well, as I stated back in post #42, I was not in favor of moving it back into October from the original Nov. 1st. That is and was the traditional and original planned date so I scheduled my weekends accordingly a while back.

Oct. 4th & 5th --> Camping
Oct. 11th & 12th --> Wedding to attend (Not mine!!!)
Oct. 18th & 19th --> Strip roof to prep for new roof to be installed the following week by bradp
Oct. 25th & 26th --> Autumn party out of town
Nov. 1st & 2nd --> was Turbopalooza...now I could attend a Halloween party

I agreed and made plans to attend the party since 'palooza was scheduled for Nov. 1st, then a week or so ago, the date was changed. Sorry gang.

[minigts]

See what you've all done! Now Teh Fleckster can't make it! Big stupidheads.... :(

I'd say beer drinkin' hell raisin' and general Tomfoolery. :amen:

[jamesmonty]

Ikea is not to far from tri state. There is a nice mariot hotel off the same exit as ikea too. That will put you 45 or so miles from the party :(

[BIGBRUDDA]

Friday is the big TURBO-RED keg tapping!:clap:
Won't be the same without Fleck:(

Hey John!! Whats your Halloween Costume gonna be?;)

[badandy]

EVERYONE should come friday night!!!!
I may just do that my friend...but if so you ain't allowed to go to bed early:o

[badandy]

Mods....can we amend the title of this thread to include the date? It makes for easy checking to be sure the scheduling hasn't changed.:D

[Mike_Shepard]

Yikes its been moved........... Man I hope to be there but unless I get my Fuel rail and some drive time I wont be driving the Daytona

[Purpleskunk]

I hate to do this here but i'll be there in my new non-turbo mopar. Also,i was wondering if anyone has a 89 style t-2 crank they'd like to get rid of for a decent price, along with a crank timing pulley same year. Also I need front and rear seal covers for a common block if anyone has them. If you have any of this and are coming, shoot me a pm or something with your prices so you don't have to lug this stuff around if i can't afford it. Again hated to ask this in this thread but I appreciate it.

Off subject I saw a Red1991 Dodge Spirit Rt today in Sharonville at about 5 PM. I'm wondering if this is anyone who is on here? You have to come to the Turbopalooza. Your car is the nicest spirit RT I've seen and looks awesome with the SRT-4 wheels!

[jamesmonty]

That could be Andy from loveland. He is on here, lothamc I think is his screenname. He just had a post about a fuel pump problem recently. Nice guy, bought a block off him a year ago.

[1qk4dr]

Yeah, I was planning to get probably the same block off him over a year ago but ended up getting one off of my buddy Sexygomer. I messaged him so I'll know in a day or so if it was him or not.

[minigts]

Not sure if this is the best place to post, but I have a set of rear interior sails for an L body I will GIVE someone at TP for free. I have no need of them as they are dry rotted in the typical sun baked areas. If someone was determined, they could be cleaned up and possibly salvaged in the dry rot areas as they are bad on the surface in most places.

So if you want them let me know. Otherwise they are going in the garbage before I leave. Call Jon, 901-240-9059 if you are interested. Ken probably doesn't need them, but I will call dibs for him right now. :)

[Clay]

Jon - Ill take em if Ken doesnt want em :)

[minigts]

Excellent. I'll check with him, but either way they are coming to TP and never coming back. :D Clay, they are in usable shape, but just got some dry rot on by the doors and rear hatch. Nothing some fiberglass wouldn't help or solve. ;)

[jamesmonty]

Yeah, I was planning to get probably the same block off him over a year ago but ended up getting one off of my buddy Sexygomer.

Let me get this straight. I needed a block so I decided to look around. Andy messages me saying he has a 2.5 NA block. I decide to just get the Turbo Block off Sexygomer 2 years ago that he had out of one of his donner cars. About a year ago you get at the NA block off Andy and then you sold it to Sexygomer because he needed a new one. That's funny.

I know Andy and GF are coming to my place Friday afternoon. You guys are more than welcome to come down too. Plus we could load up the stuff you will be taking back with you!!

And, depending on which way you come to Cincy area, I'm on the way!! 40 min before Ken's and an hour before downtown Cincy!

I will have a keg of Killian's on tap at Reeves' bar tomorrow night. There should still be some left before you guys get here!!! :thumb:;)

you guys are lucky you still have the 10 cents w/ the kroger card. Here they changed it from 10 cents everytime, to now you have to spend $100 to get the 10 cents. BOOOOOOO on that! :(

Ken and I have negotiated a deal that will secure futures for him shifting like a madman and me having a descent looking interior! :D

Clay I'm making some of those shifter cables with the quick release ends. I was going to poll to see if anyone wanted some, but I didn't have the time to get orders and I won't have the shift rod parts I need. If you want to bring yours to TP, I can take them home and do a set for you.

Also, if you want a new lower wiring harness, bring it and I'll make one up for you. :D But I'll need some money for parts.

Quick release end shifter cables? For replacing them quickly?
I'd like to have a set of shifter cables with rod ends instead of plastic socket over ball. I tend to break those.

I'm making a set for Ken. If the set of pieces I got at the yard will work with Ken's stuff, I'll either use his at TP and keep these or give him these and use his for cores. Either way I will have a set of cores and will start making them for whomever, you included. :D

EDIT
Hey Reeves, just realized I wrote shifter cables; I meant shifter rods! Sorry for the confusion, but I can still make sets of the rods. They should work ok for the 555 or whatever cable-shifted transmissions that can be converted to rod-shifted.

Im taking Friday off so I can either (a) swap in my TBI cam w/ adjustable cam gear, or (b) put the new lifters in w/ old cam. I really hate going racing with a different setup, when I know the old one works well.

Needs a clutch. Although it doesn't look like it, it's actually getting closer. I just gotta replace the freezeplugs and the clutch and the engine's going back in. A couple of friends are gonna help me get it back together by saturday. I'm gonna drive it up there. As to whether or not I race it depends on the way it runs. But it'll be there :)

[jamesmonty]

Clay, why not bring it to the track make a few runs and swap cams and make a few more? I'm sure you could find a few people in the pits to help.

Hmmmmmmmm thats an idea I guess. ;) I might weight the possibility as Im taking the TBI cam out of the other car. It would be a no-brainer if the track was open all day, but I think we have a 4 or 5 hour window. That would be run twice, swap cam, run twice more..... hmmmmmm thats still not bad ;) I would like to see what the car would do on a stock cam w/ GOOD lifters in it! hehe
