SDAC-19 -- The Official BS thread

[sdac guy]

The announcement was made earlier this summer, but as a reminder, Cincinnati Ohio is the location for SDAC-19 and the dates are June 26-30, 2009.

More info to follow shortly. The motel will be the same as for SDAC-15 (though we won't have our own building this time) and as soon as I have firm info on rates and reservations I will post it here. I am supposed to get the contract from them this coming week.

Awesome, I cant wait! :clap::thumb:

["Top Fuel" Bender]

Wow
with all th einfo this early
nobody can say they can't make it

[86Shelby]

Rock on!!! I'm glad I picked the right dates for the vacation schedule. :)

[DC Turismo]

Can't wait to go back to where it all began for me! Thanks for the info Barry :) Plenty of time for people to take off work now to make it the biggest ever!

[supercrackerbox]

Wow
with all th einfo this early

I can't make it.

[supercrackerbox]

Just kidding. I hope.

[mcsvt]

Now to get a car in order to finally race at an SDAC.

[GLHSKEN]

Like SDAC 15.... My house is open to all on Friday night.....

Sweet Now I can bring all my family and illegal workers:D

[jamesmonty]

Since I wasn't at 15, what hotel are we talking about. Or what part of town is it in.

[sdac guy]

Since I wasn't at 15, what hotel are we talking about. Or what part of town is it in.
The Drawbridge Inn. It is on the Kentucky side of the river.

I will post rates and reservation info as soon as available. Do not make reservations without that info as you would probably pay much more per night.

Barry

[DC Turismo]

Will we still be towards that back section, Barry?

[jamesmonty]

I don't think ill be getting a room, I only live 45min from there. I was just curious where the party was going to be every night.

[Turbo3Iroc]

I thought that building in the back worked out well for us, is there a reason they wont let us book it again?

[ATaylorRacing]

Cool......being retired I don't need to worry about how I am getting off....just need to get my wife to take off to take care of the 2 1/2 year old since Matchbox has no provisions for a baby seat.....and yes, it is healthy again thanks to Brad Pennington! I race down there with my SRT4 in the United Manual Transmission Racers series...finished 5th in points after being runner-up at the Stick Shift Nationals...record field of 134 cars....earlier I posted 104.

[sdac guy]

I thought that building in the back worked out well for us, is there a reason they wont let us book it again?Yeah, it's just one of those things I guess. They renovated the main buildings 2 years ago (actually completed last year). While doing that, they used the Garrison buildings (where we stayed) as storage. And I guess they didn't want to put any bucks toward renovating that area. Those buildings are closed now.

From what she told me, that parking area will still be available if we need it. So the big wheel hill is still there and of course there is still the back lot ... :D

Barry

[ATaylorRacing]

The last time there I stayed in a cheap hotel, but I have that commute down to 2 1/4 hrs. Should I bring out my 3 cyl, 55 hp Geo for the 19.99 turtle race? I ran 19.9-19.99 in eliminations with it in the fall....went 5 rounds and made $250 for semis.....paint peeling 65 mph in the 1/4 and a blistering 12.7 at 57 in the 1/8th....makes Matchbox feel like a rocket! The 50-57 mpg don't hurt either!!!

Ok, thanks for the explanation. Is the back pool still open?

[turbovanman²]

Great news this early but wow, so far away, :(

I seriously doubt I can afford it, airfare, hotel, rental car etc and there is no way I would drive that far, fuel would be stupid towing the van. Have fun guys, :nod:

[moparfwdsleeper]

i won't make it, don't see me being in the hobby much longer.

Proved you wrong:):p

[Marcus86GLHS]

if Ben Bernanke steps down by the end of Feb. this year i'll buy my new car hauler and be there, otherwise, maybe SDAC 20 is my outlook. but it is a great idea to get the info out this early, thanks.

[sdac guy]

Ok, thanks for the explanation. Is the back pool still open?I don't think so. One of our local guys cruised through the parking lot this fall and IIRC he said that pool was empty. The main buildings have their own pool(s).

You might want to second guess yourself. Its worth staying at the hotel...

This will be my first SDAC and I'm really excited! I really am excited to put faces to screen names too:nod:

Hmmm, only 31 hrs.........that's actually tempting......31 cruisless hours with ear plugs. I'm acutually gonna have to think about this one. :D

[Bubba]

Got my vacation dates approved already. It's nice to have SDAC within a reasonable drive again. I just hope it's not 100+ degrees outaside like SDAC-15 was. :D

[8valves]

Sounds intriguing!

[shelbydave]

I'm hoping to get my car done so this cam be my first SDAC. Nothing would be better than getting to meet people from here. And it comes with a bonus for me... LaRosa's Pizza, and Skyline Chili!!!

[Lugert]

So what you are saying is I have 5-1/2 months to get my car running?

Hmmm.

[black86glhs]

This will be my first SDAC and I'm really excited! I really am excited to put faces to screen names too:nod:Me too. Hell, I might be able to drop down to Louisville and see my sister. Hmmmmm.

The wedding is the 13th, and we'll be on our honeymoon the week before SDAC. HP only has 10 vacation days, and he'll need some for Carlisle and anything else that happens to come up..
We could try and make it out for the weekend, but its too soon to tell. We'll have to see what things look like closer to the time.

And yes, we'll get there before we're too old! :thumb:

[turbojerk]

Bla, Bla, Bla.....Pfft!:lol:

[LaserXT1986]

This is truly AWESOME news. I had a blast at SDAC-15, as seen in the video attached. Myself along with Joe "Firebaron 90" D'Ambrosio beat the everloving sh!t out of that GT Cruiser (rental), and IIRC I took 7th place, while Joe took 1st with it (we both dragged it).

For those asking about the hotel and buildings that were used at SDAC 15...in the video, the block of rooms to the right was "SDAC" section. And as you can see, we had our own burnout section :D:D:thumb::thumb:

AND the dragstrip, if we are using the same one, had SHADE for the pits!!

REALLY looking forward to this year's SDAC, even if my car isn't fully done, I will be there with it!! :D:D:D:D:D

[sdac guy]

Get married at SDAC!

It's been done before, Bob Meier and his wife were married at SDAC-11 (in Canada). Corey & Pam Keeslar were married on the day before SDAC-8 started and they honeymooned there in Indy.

Seriously though, Jen & Greg, I know your plans are all set. So all the best to you. Just to let you know though, you will be missed.

Barry

DJ

[jamesmonty]

Sdac wedding ftw!

[J&G_BlueGLH]

You guys are all too much! And thanks for your kind words, Barry.. much appreciated! The only dates set in stone are the things happening here.. we didnt even book a honeymoon or anything yet, and we were tentatively thinking about going to Detroit, Auburn Hills area for a week or so since we couldnt make it to SDAC last year with his Grandfather passing and such. I mentioned to him about waiting until the following week and possibly splitting the honeymoon between a few days on our own in Detroit, followed by SDAC. Im not sure if thats something we'd like to do or not yet.. but we are definitely exploring all options! Definitely appreciate your understanding if we cant make it... We'll see how things pan out over the next few months. ;)

[Johnny]

Have you contacted the Great Lakes Chapter of the SCCA to see if they are having an autocross that weekend?

Johnny

watching that car go round n round was some funny shiiiit!!! the only other car that tried to keep up with the back to back passes that year was Frank (radiant red) in his 2.5 S60 91 shadow, and we had we made it back home without any probs, leaving a smoke trail to boot! lol

[jamesmonty]

If you want a autox, you should contact the Cincinnati sports car club http://www.cincyautox.org or the Cincinnati SCCA http://www.cincyscca.com/solopage.php . I didn't see their 2009 schedule but one of them might have an event that weekend.

[sdac guy]

Have you contacted the Great Lakes Chapter of the SCCA to see if they are having an autocross that weekend?

JohnnyI'm not sure if that is the correct group (Great Lakes) but we did contact the local region about the new road course being built there. They pretty much agreed to an event for us, but the track scheduled that weekend for their own members (private use). :mad:

At SDAC-15 the local SCCA wasn't really interested in helping us with an autocross. I've heard the Dayton area NASA folks might be able to help us with one. We will check it out.

When we go into planning these events, nothing is off the table, we try to get every venue and event possible. It is only as we run into dead-ends that items are canceled.

Aw crud - I asked for the wrong days off!!! Alright - gonna go talk to my manager right now. I'm glad you posted up the dates so early - it shouldn't be a problem to switch the vacation days around this early in the year.

I'd steer clear of NASA... poor safety history and regs IMHO (personally witnessed). I'm sure there are different opinions on the matter but I try to avoid them like the plague. Who knows though... maybe they've gotten their act together by now.

When I heard that SCCA was allowing NASA licenses, the first thing that came to mind was, "Great. Now I'll have more sheet metal to fix."

:mad:

But I digress.....

I'll bend some ears at Cincy and WOR about an AutoX. AutoX schedules are flexible unlike Road Course schedules. No promises tho...

In the OH/KY/IN area there, there is Argosy Casino, Paramount's Kings Island Amusement Park, a huge indoor go cart track, plenty of shopping, Wright-Patterson Air Museum, etc. I'm sure the locals can recommend even more.

We have a Major league baseball team and a farm team. As well as 5 water parks/ Hotels, 3 concert parks and ,many many, music clubs/bars/brewhouses.:amen:

If you get the chance to go to Wright Patt to the Air Museum, GO!!
If anyone is bringing the whole family, we had a good time at the Cinn. Zoo is a good one.

We would buy Carrowinds season passes, then for vacation we would head to Ohio to Kings Island since the passes got us in there too. We'd also spend a day at the Zoo.
After Cedar Fair bought the paramount parks, we would get the Maxx Pass, so we could get into Carrowinds, Kings Island, and Cedar Point. That was quite the fun vacation.

[glhturbo1985]

Thanks for all the info. Keep it coming. Ultimately, the girlfriend will probably decide what we're doing since SDAC is geared more toward my hobby and pleasure. Unless there is another Pit-bull that she can befriend and lighten the amount of work I have to do to keep her occupied, I may be doomed in the hotel room. lol!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[shelbydave]

I just hope I can get my car ready in time. Anybody in NC (Charlotte area) either paint cars of have any connections?

[jamesmonty]

There is a big aquarium in nky. We have been a few times with the kids. Kings island is about 45 minutes north from the hotel, right next to my house. If you like native American Indian stuff there is the fort ancient state park. You can google that for more info. I can walk there from my house!

Um, you will want a room! That's where the party is till late! I've also seen you drink... Us cincy guys could always consider splitting up a room, then going home the next day to clean up, get another car, or whatever.....


Cool......being retired I don't need to worry about how I am getting off....just need to get my wife to take off

Whoa....that's enough of that! Oh, the scaring mental picture!

Ive been thinking a room might be a good idea. Any other locals want to split a room to "sleep off" the parking lot activities? PM me and we can work it out.

[sdac guy]

As a partial update on the hotel, we have announced the host hotel and hotel registration info in our newlsetter. Our members get the info first, and then later the public (like this thread).

Once enough time has passed that I am sure all our members have received their newsletters I will post the info here in this thread (or direct you to where the info can be found). No worry about not enough rooms, it's a big hotel and we set aside plenty of rooms.

Sleep?? There's no sleeping at SDAC:lol: Pass out for a couple hours maybe but then start again:eyebrows:



I think you need to start thinking about a rental decision!!! :nx:

[supercrackerbox]

Vacation time approved!

[slasky]

My last day of work is June 25th so Maybe sean and I can head up Thursday night.

[1FastCSX289]

My last day of work is June 25th so Maybe sean and I can head up Thursday night.

I might be pushing it with the wife to eek out another day at SDAC. Ill probably go out friday as we normally do......I would be up for getting an earlier start to head out though so we can take in all of Friday night's action.

[mcsvt]

That's what I'm aiming for too, an earlyish Friday departure.

[Reeves]

Hopefully Friday will be an all day event! I will be taking off work that day, so my garage is open and my tap will be flowing!

Also, I know Ken is having a get together at his place Friday night for all the early birds.

SDAC events just are never long enough! :thumb:

[shelbydave]

If I can make it, this will be my first. Do people usually drive their cars up or trailer them and leave the car in one place all weekend? I'll have to use my car for transportation...

SDAC events just are never long enough! :thumb:You realize that if we count Friday night at the motel and the tour of the Viper Plant on Wednesday morning, that SDAC-18 this year spanned 6 days of events?

Well 19 isn't shaping up to be quite as long, but I am sure there will be plenty to do and enough time to do it.

Why not just go for a full week? 7 days of SDAC!!!!!!!!!!!

I guess we should head out Friday morning just in case someone breaks two cars on the way there.

[sdac guy]

Why not just go for a full week? 7 days of SDAC!!!!!!!!!!!We were able to come up with things to do (events) to fill those days. Going back to a "5 day" schedule this year and we still may have a 'day' with nothing to do (there is a clue or hint in that).


Barry

[supercrackerbox]

Our tentative plan will be to leave Lincoln at midnight on Friday the 26th, and should arrive in Cinci early afternoon on Saturday. From there I don't have to leave until Wednesday evening. It's my fault, I only have so much vacation time available.

Yea....you non-school teaching gazer. Would it be a major PITA to take the whole day? Cinci is freakin far and I wasnt a big fan of getting to the last two SDACs at midnight. But, if you cant, we'll just leave as early as possible b/c we need to allow time for all my cars to break.

[Aries_Turbo]

we never left that early before. ill put in for it.

Vacation is OK, boss said OK. Now I am just trying to rangle up a co-driver. 31hrs is a little long to barrel straight through on my own, and adding an extra 3 days of driving doesn't excite me either. Hopefully there will be a Western Candadian representitive there this year :thumb:

You can pretty much spend as much as you like on these trips barring some unforseen expense.

Last year we saved money by grilling at least one meal a day in the parking lot. It's alot cheaper to buy brats at walmart than eating in a resturant.

[mcsvt]

Now we are talking! Might have to do some shopping before getting there this time.

[sdac guy]

Does the car show or the drag racing cost anything? If so how much for each of them?

All adults (17 years or over) attending for more than one day, must pay the registration fee of $50 per person. That is the SDAC member rate for pre-registration. For folks that are not SDAC members that fee will be $55. For folks that do not pre-register and register onsite, SDAC members will pay $55, and non-members pay $60.

That Registration fee includes spectator admission to all events, car show entry (and voting ballot), goody bag with dash plaque and door prize ticket (and other goodies), admittance to Hospitality Night (where we feed you well), entry into the road rally, and finally entry into awards night where we hand out drag racing awards and door prizes.

If you are coming only for the car show, the fee will be $10 to enter your car, spectating there is free for everyone. If you are coming only for drag racing day, to enter the drag racing the fee will be $70 for SDAC members and $75 for non-members. Folks attending for only one day/event that do not pay the registration fee, do not get goody bags or dash plaques.

For those folks pre-registering it is $5 cheaper to drag race (on either fee - $65/$70).

Event T-shirts are not included in the registration fee. Shirts are $18 if ordered on the Pre-Registration form, and $20 if bought on site.

I am trying to get the SDAC website updated by the middle of this week so we can start accepting online Pre-Registrations and payments.

There will also be an exhaustive FAQ section on there that will answer 99% of the questions folks have. Until then I will answer them on this forum or privately, no problem.

If you've never been to this event before, try to plan on being there for all days. It will be fun packed, you will NOT get bored, and probably very little sleep as folks are usually in the parking until a couple hours before dawn.

While it may sound like it is pricey to attend, it will probably be the most fun and cheapest 4-5 day vacation you will ever have.

This is planned as a family event, and wives/gf's and children are welcome, and many attend.

That Friday just about everything that could have gone wrong did as I was trying to get to all the stuff out to the motel. Then finally when it was time to sit back a little that evening in the parking lot, I was ready. Then when I ate my first brat, I was convinced it was the best food I ever tasted! It really hit the spot. I suppose it was the same for those of you that drove all day to get there as it must have been a long day.

Good stuff, thanks again!

I guess we will see who has a surprise for who.

Hmmmm......your not going to blow it up this year?

[turboshad]

My clutch just came in which was the last unknown variable in me not making it to SDAC.........short of the engine not running again but I don't see that happening :smiling head with no body knocking on a huge chunk of wood:

So it looks like I will be meeting a bunch of you in Cinci and hopefully I will be with a swarm of western Canadians......well 4 of us if everyone interested commits. "poke" Turbo_Rampage, Mike M and Shadow "poke" :D I am quite excited since I have always wanted to attend. Hopefully I will also have some chromoly control arm with me to show off. :thumb:

Was going to use this weekend to pull the test motor out of the Daytona and transplant it in the Shadow to test out the electricals, but looking like rain all weekend (Daytona outside)... I hear my turbo isn't ready yet and no sign of poly mounts or clutch... Just great that this is going to come to the last minute before SDAC.

I don't think I will have time to do my upgrades before SDAC. So my car will be in the exact same condition as last year.

[BadAssPerformance]

Wow, upgrades that take over a month?

I take it you will be moving before then? Heck better to be there with the car in last year's condtion than not there at all!

I am still waiting on my intake and I am not sure when it will be finished. I have the head, cam, and header.

I am not sure when I will be moving yet but I have been busy getting ready for it. I have only had time to drive my car once this year and it was only for a couple of miles. I would hate to tear it apart and then not have enough time to get it back together for SDAC.

I'm just kicking off a possible house search, hopefully that doesn't hurt my car time till after SDAC.

Im in the same boat. I think I am going to really start my hard-target home search when returning from Cincy.

[fleckster]

You don't need another reason to visit Cincy! There are enough people to visit there now!
