If the Birthday car is going to be there, I'll get a divorce if need be.

I haven't decided what to bring if anything at this point. I'm honestly not a fan of pulling a truck and trailer across country anymore so I'm still talking myself into that aspect. Eight hours one way is about my limit these days. I'd love to get my drag car up there but its not a road race car which is what I really enjoy. Maybe we can finish Cindy's Charger which would make a respectable showing in both roles. Problem with that is we are swamped with paying work so the projects are on hold. The Birthday car would be a good car to show and performed vey well during the Bull Run Shelby Reunion at Terlingua. However, we only ran in that because Carroll was there, otherwise that car is best preserved put away and simply car showing doesn't excite me like racing does. There is also the SXT/SRT4/SCT Stage 3 car; Lots of suspension upgrades and damn near 400WHP on 93oct. Decisions, decisions.....I'm sure we will come to some conclusion soon. We really do appreciate everyone's interest and that may be enough to commit to the 40+ hours of pulling the trailer with Cindy, the kids and a car.

[Captain Chaos]

Sounds like its time to break down and buy a toter and a stacker!

I'll volunteer my "services" to fly out and "drive" the Birthday car for you from TX to Cincinnati.:D

[Rampage16V]

I'll be in Florida next week I can drop it off on the way back
lol

[Captain Chaos]

Where will you be in Fl?

[Rampage16V]

Where will you be in Fl?
Going to Gainsville to watch the nationals or at least the qualifying on Saturday. Going to stay in Ocala and see the Don Garlits museum on sunday and head back Monday morning.

[Reeves]

Going to Gainsville to watch the nationals or at least the qualifying on Saturday. Going to stay in Ocala and see the Don Garlits museum on sunday and head back Monday morning.

I'm headed to Florida too, as of 4:30 pm yesterday (shouldn't have answered my phone on a Friday afternoon....especially when it was the boss calling). I'll be in Tampa tomorrow night and some next week. I'm not sure how long I'll be there, but right now they have me scheduled until next Sunday.

I don't think I'm ever going to get the OMNI back together :mad: I was trying to have it at spring fling on the 4th. Oh well....

[JamesL]

Maybe I should start a poll on which car to bring.

[BadAssPerformance]

No poll needed.. b-day car :D

[JamesL]

I know everyone wants to see the B-day car but its just not nearly as fun at the event unless you have something to beat on. I beat on the BD car pretty good at Terlingua. I'm not sure I want to do it again.

[BadAssPerformance]

Bring 2 cars?

[JamesL]

Bring 2 cars?

I've wanted to do that but that is going to require a larger trailer and a new truck. :eyebrows: As much as I appreciate the offers to help with the drive up and back, thats not a working plan either.;). I've talked to my shop manager and he would like to bring his Omni drag car. He has his own truck and trailer. In that case, I could suck it up and let him have all the fun while I sit around and polish the car for the car show but as I said that does not excite me much.

[BadAssPerformance]

So you couldnt trailer the B-day car and Cindy drive one? or visa versa?

[JamesL]

So you couldnt trailer the B-day car and Cindy drive one? or visa versa?

That is possible but not desirable. It is a long drive. First we have to drive to north of Chicago and then we have to drive to Cincy. On the really long hauls, we tend to split driving duties to make it a little more bearable.

[BadAssPerformance]

Last time I looked at a map... Chicago was not on the way to Cinci? ;) But if yer up this way, always welcome to cruise with the Chicagoland caravan :thumb:

I hear you on the splitting driving... sounds like it stime for a CTD and 2-car trailer :D

No, your right. The Chicago stop is about ditching the kids at my sister in-laws house. They have no interest in cars or car events and the few times I've tried to take them everyone was miserable. We usually do a summer vacation trip there so they can hang with their cousins and we can catch up with all the in-laws. It helps that SDAC is in the vicinity. A new truck and trailer would be nice but as I said, my days for long hauling across the country are limited.

Gotcha... that sounds familiar to last year :thumb: Soooooo I should look at your garage sale and see if I need anything big hauled this way, LOL!

Long hauling... I almost was going to take the Z to MATS but I could not justify taking a trip on a week I was off work no pay :(

I'm going Possibly Fri, definately Saturday. Maybe we could meet up and I can introduce you to Art Leong with the Super stock Neon and Jim Wahl with the stocker Spirit, and share some American beer/water. :thumb:

I hereby designate this a formal plea for everyone to go buy parts from FWD so they can hire me on as full time driver of their transporter.

I hope you can make it. Maybe you'll have to work on Angelo's car again. It set in my barn for 3-4 months waiting on me to fix it. It is done now and at his house though.

LOL! Sounds like a plan. Cell signal sucks down there, at least for me (Sprint) but I'll give you a call. We are hoping to be down there sometime around 7 or so. Parking gets rough the later you wait. Jim Wahl sold his Spirit so he's out and from the looks of the entry list, Art is the only fwd Mopar there, but theres a good number of SS/AH cars going to be there also.:thumb:

That's exactly what me and Warren were saying! And BTW, I'm still in TAMPA! This "one day job" turned into me doing absolutely nothing in Tampa for a week and 2 days! Got a nice sun tan (burn?) though!

Have to book the hotel soon. Wasn't there a post from Barry with the hotel
contact info? I've searched and can't find it.

[sdac guy]

The hotel info was in the last Up Front, but had not been posted online. I've corrected that oversight this morning. The tentative schedule and host hotel info can be found on the SDAC website here (http://www.sdac.org/info/events.htm).

I reserved all the gazer suites for the Chicago people, and Frank, so they would not be near the rest of us non gazers. I also found out that the largest gazer suite, the queen suite, is called the katzenberger suite.

I only took the picture to prove frank and brian are gazers. The angles are all wrong too. There is no way I could have seen any gazer areas on anyone in that picture. Besides I was partially blinded from having woken up and seeing frank and brian spooning. The eye doctor said that I have some permanent sight loss from that.
