Sdac 22

[Spycker]

Will the location be the same?

[cordes]

Wow, you're starting the thread about as early as you can.

[Johnny]

spot reserved
How? Where?

[Juggy]

it moves ever year STOOOOPID

my guess is it will head north east to detroit!!

[moparjon2007]

As long as its about 10 hours drive or less I'm there. Of course when they pick it i'll end up going anywhere...

[DodgeZ]

Vegas

[dodgeshadowchik]

Once they figure out what's going to happen to the club leadership, I'm sure a location will be discussed. It's pretty wide open now... but there seems to be a lot of interest in a Vegas event. We know at least 10 cars will show up. *cough* Alan *cough* ;)

[moparman76_69]

Deja Vu to last year's SDAC 21 thread. I have dibs on one of the TCs in Vegas.

[moparjon2007]

If its in Vegas I got dibs on the backseat of the 8 sec race van out there. And thanks for the gatorades too.

[2.216VTurbo]

Funny I heard Clay and Amanda won the rally;) Vegas is a fine town for a convention that involves cars:eyebrows:

[moparjon2007]

Vegas would be cool its the 1 day 4 hours travel time my gps says that scares me. We do drive turbo chryslers after all.

[86seeS]

[moparjon2007]

Ok fine maybe Vegas. That guy on the way home did have an 87 s car but we didn't wanna sell. Was pissed when I told him that he missed Sdac. But hes going to sell me the 85 sc that was in his garage. So now I have 3 projects to finish in a year.

[4cefedomni]

Vegas would be great! 2028km 21 hours!

[30 PSI SHADOW]

You say that like you drove to 21... what was it, a 3 hr plane ride? ;)

[168glhs1986]

Vvvvvvvvvvvveeeeeeeeeeeeeeeggggggggggggggaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaasssssssssssssssssss.

Who's call is it since we don't have SDAC Convention planning president any longer?

Alan, why don't you step up to Presidential Status? The host hotel would be the Bellagio and the presidential suite is already booked, thank you very much.

[DodgeZ]

I was there wasn't I? ;) Hagerstown to my new house is 1500miles.

[BadAssPerformance]

Just sayin...

[Spycker]

Las Vegas? thats like 7 hours away from me! If that be the location then I be heading there!

[86seeS]

I dont have it up yet jt but I did watch it its a little boring in spots but others are good. The sound efects are great through out the video since the rfl blow off valve was right behind the camera. You do see us pass mopar318, barry, reeves, clay, and 22shelby

[bakes]

Sing me up if it's in Vegas!!!!!!!!!! but i wouldn't mind P.I.R. as well

[boost geek]

I'm in for Portland.:thumb:

[Spycker]

im down for both locations.......Las Vegas is just 7 hours from me and 9 hours for Portland......win win for me!

[135sohc]

M.I.R
make it a 20 year reunion :)

[tommyturbo]

If it was vegas I would go

[turboshad]

Frick...what do I care? If it were in Miami I would probably still show up with the car ready to race. Just say where and the Shadow will be present. :thumb:

[ForzaV12]

Viva Las Vegas! If Alan brings 10, I'm good for twenty. Plus, think of how cool the event shirt would be.

[2.216VTurbo]

I threw this out there to the folks in Waukegan at 21, if it is Vegas, I'd want a bunch of drivers flying into John Wayne airport Orange County and we'd drive 10 of my cars(or maybe the 6 that run at any given time:o) the 250 or so miles there. Forza has offered another 15+ cars (C'mon 20 man, you're not really gonna bring the Italian or German iron are ya:p) and I don't know if he has that many drivers lined up locally:eyebrows:

[89FerrariShelby]

Vegas is always a good time....I'd probably have to look into renting the necessary equipment to tow my car there...not risking trouble on that kind of a ride...but the destination makes it almost impossible not to go...

I know that you already promised 'black beauty' to one of the other guys(Andy or Jackson I think, can't remember[kinda drunk]) if this comes to fruition, BUT, maybe I need to come out to OC a week before the SDAC if it is held there in Vegas and get her running right. Of course, then I would want to drive it, but that goes with the territory 'and you know this, mannnnnn....' :thumb:

[Clay]

we can have it in Terre Haute. 1/8th mile drag strip for cheap with a dirt track oval next door ;)

[86seeS]

Its 1887miles to vegas 1 day 7 hours...... Im ready

[turboshad]

I just checked and Vegas is less than 1500 miles!! WOOT! I'll be honest I think it would be a lesser turnout but I'm in for sure. That's closer than Chicago and I thought that was going to be a snap. It would be nice to not get the longest distance award at least one year. :D

I only have one TD at the moment!!!, for the first time in years. Plenty of time to pick up another half dozen or so though. They gave away an engine a few years ago-maybe we should give away a car(must be present to win, of course ;)

[supercrackerbox]

Vegas is about a 24 hour drive from Lincoln NE. I've made the drive before . . .

[moparjon2007]

fine, i'm sick of this already, i'm in no matter where the thing is... i found a trailer in the mother in laws back yard, if i redeck the thing i got what i need to go just about whereever... we just need to set up the caravan of all the eastcoast and midwest guys for the trip

[BadAssPerformance]

I'm down for Vegas, or Whittier, or Texas, or Alaska or even Hawaii! :thumb:

It sounds to me like there is a 100% chance that the location is..... undecided :D

But listening to the whole speech Tuesday, I think another city other than Vegas has a better chance for 22...

[bakes]

Misson raceway BC i could even set up a cruise to Whistler for a BBQ!

I can do texas also.

[DC Turismo]

Detroit was awesome due to all of the Chrysler related history there. Plus, it wasn't busy on the highways around where everything took place. Although the car show wasn't at a park, it was at the Chrysler museum which was a great addition to the show. Need I also say that the hotel was great (not just quality, but parking lot shananigans as well?!? :D I'd be all for going back there next year or if an every other or every-two year plan was instituted.

[BIG PSI]

I bet I could get Quaker City Dragstrip in Salem, Ohio for next to nothing for us to race at.
Plenty of parks for the Car Show.
Nelson Ledges is not to far away for the road course racers.

But what do I know ???
I have only put on National Car Meets from 1985 to 1991 and then another in 2008.
Those meets got on the Front Cover of 17 National Car Magazines and featured inside 32 Car Magazines over the years.
Hell we even got on the Front Cover of HOT ROD Magazine 2 years in a row.
We even received 24 pages of editorial inside those two issues of HOT ROD.

I'm with nate, if you can get that together a week out from 21 then I'm all for it. I know its a haul for the westerners but that's organized and I would have a ton of time to put in for vacation. Not to mention convince the wife to join me on the seat time to get there.

From my house to Vegas one way...1851.6 miles or 28 hours and 5 minutes according to Mapquest. I think Matchbox might make it in about 30 hours driving at a slow wrist pin slapping noise drive! I might need to take more alternators with me too. I changed one two weeks ago. The second one that I put in at Topeka at the first SDAC there finally died. (I had put in one the day before at the hotel there too!) Soooo, before I drove home I had to change to the new one that I just bought last week for a just-in-case deal. Even though it has a lifetime warranty I still will buy another new one for that just-in-case moment!

---------- Post added at 09:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:34 PM ----------

Since the onstart of last years racing season and until now I have had to replace a 20 year old Holly 5220 carb, a 25 year old Autometer Monster tach, a 25 year old Holly Electric Red fuel pump, and TWO 20 year old used alternators....dang US made junk...don't last like it should! ; )

You have suggested these places before but have never quoted a price to me. If Nelson Ledges can be had for a day for less than $2000 then it might be a break even track day. We will only get about 20-25 road racers, and the insurance for a track day will probably run more than $3000, so the total for the day needs to come in at no more than $5000. And that would make it a $200-250 fee for each driver for a road course day. Any more than that and the number of folks willing to pay drops off dramatically and puts the event in jeopardy. If you are serious Chuck, come up with the actual dollar figures, otherwise it is just all talk.

[sdac guy]

And if folks are serious about having an SDAC event near them, then they should be calling the tracks and facilities near them to get the prices. Don't post contact info here, YOU call them. That is part of the process, and if SDAC should come to your area, then you better be prepared to do a lot more than that.

When contacting a track to get rental info, find out how much to rent for a day. Find out if they require us to get a specific amount of liability insurance coverage ($1M, $2M, $5M, etc). If they ask how many drivers/racers, the safe answer is "less than 50."

Cordes; with all due respect, I did get the track for FREE.

I just got off the phone with Nelson Ledges and they have FUN DAYS there.
A FUN DAY cost this year $130.00 per driver/car.
You have to attend a mandatory driver's meeting at 0930 and the first group gets the track at 10:00am
They usually have 3 groups and so you would get 20 minutes of track time every hour.
They close the track at 4:00pm so you would get on the track; FIVE times for a total of 100 minutes.
( providing no one wrecks ).

Roll bars or roll cages are not mandatory unless you are racing a convertible.

ChuckThis year we had 36 drag racers and about 100 spectators. We don't charge spectators unless they are not registered nor SDAC members. The number of racers is just below average, so that is a good number to use. Is QS a 1/4 mile track, does it have scoreboards, and are the pits paved or gravel?

For road course, I strongly doubt we will get more than 25 drivers and 75 spectators, but road course is usually based on daily rental and they only charge more if more than 100 cars show up (I wish).

You can call the club line, leave a message and I will call you back. 586-759-6160

QCR is a 1/4 mile track. The pits are all GRASS with blacktop roads running throughout. There are scoreboards, concession stand, toilets that flush and running water to wash your hands afterwards, a play area with a fence inclosure for the kids, they sell race gas there, they even have VIP Suites in the tower.

They race Friday nights and Saturday afternoons now at QCR.
I have called the owner and left a message.
I am now waiting on his return call.

I would not be willing to make that deal. I MUST know what it costs to rent the track for a day. I MUST know our costs going in, to plan effectively.

I just got off the phone with Nelson Ledges and they gave FUN DAYS there.
A FUN DAY cost this year $130.00 per driver/car.
You have to attend a mandatory driver's meeting at 0930 and the first group gets the track at 10:00am

They close the track at 4:00pm so you would get on the track; FIVE times for a total of 100 minutes.
( providing no one wrecks ).

And again, we cannot do that. We need to rent their track for a day, a weekday. We hold a driving school where instructors are with the novices, and the novices drive in their own group so they will not be intimidated by more advanced drivers passing them nor will they be a hazard to the more experienced drivers.

So what does it cost to rent their track for a weekday? We will plan our own program, driving groups, and session times. Do they require us to get liability insurance and how much of it?

For example, at SDAC-18, Waterford Hills charged us $4000 for the day which included liability insurance (SDAC was put on their rider).

The dragstrip sounds nice! :thumb:

[moparjon2007]

Either way it's awesome to see this much interest in next years event. Of course I'm selfish and want to see it the closer the better. But if someone can work a deal with the facilities to keep the costs low, I think that would get more participation in more paid events.

Ah... It was the cracker in the bunch. I should have known. I couldn't remember, but I do recall you sitting there in that chair throwing that out there. :thumb:

The only real reason that I wanted to take it was because I know their quirks and what they tend to do. Currently, Alan said it's down and out, but I am more than willing to put it together as long as it makes an appearance. Of course, I am not holding my breath on anything and as long as I get a RWD vehicle that has some scrote to it, I'm good. ;)

[BadAssPerformance]

I'll take the world's fastest TC.

Turd Cutter? LOL....

Turd Cutter? LOL....

I got a good picture of a turd cutter from the car show... I'll post it here in a bit.

[moparman76_69]

come on george, how dare you give up on "race van"...

Not sure I want to pay for the gas to drive it to Vegas. Why? Because race van.


Turd Cutter? LOL....

Nice one, butt at least it'd be the fastest at it.

[86seeS]

Red glhs vs green dc.....alan? Lol

[cordes]

Doesn't he have a tripe core Talon IC in the Red S? That's some serious action in the heat...

There's a 550WHP motor and fully built trans sitting on the floor of the shop but someone has to install it... Hell, I yanked it outta the donor:D

So, I guess we should install it together then? :thumb:

I think that my ears deceived me when we were BS'ing about it, but I 'think' you said it was an 'X'(numbered) car? i.e. one of 547? Surely that's not what you said, but it seems that's what I heard..

It says 399 on the dash plaque but maybe I'm naive, those in the know said it's missing the subframe connectors that make it legit. Whatever, when I go to sell it I'l sweat the documentation stuff. It's got you written all over it Nate, drive it to SDAC 22, drive it hard but don't break it:)

I can look at it and in about 5-10 minutes I will let you know for sure. Some of the little things that I am seeing from the pics tell me it isn't so, but if you PM me, I could let you know in about that much time from the VIN. It will will jump out to me so it shouldn't be that hard find. Also, I can make some inquires and confirm it with a few people and know pretty quickly the real truth to it.

Maybe I need to go to the airport and get my ticket ready, huh? :thumb:

Hell, I'd come out there just to help you get it where it needs to be. I'd fly out there and put it together for free just to see another one get put back together and dialed in. It would be just one more excuse to get out of the house and give the OL another week of stress free living. Actually, I'd just want to head to Cali and check it out(never been) and see how the other half lives... ;)

[Johnny]

Where ever it is, right now I would just like to know the dates "IF" they are known.

[sy2206]

It's pretty much always the same weekend. I would guess June 24, 25, 26, and 27. Might not be four days, but you know what I mean. :) Hopefully we'll hear something official soon.

[Johnny]

Or 19th -23rd?

[moparman76_69]

23-27 if it is 5 days 23-26 if its four. It traditionally starts the Saturday after Father's day.

[2.216VTurbo]

And my personal goal is to have every TM and turbo Buick running/driving by then. Too much stuff has been sitting partlly or not running too long:( Got 2 running this week, 3 to go:eyebrows:...

[turbovanman²]

TULSA!!!! its in the middle of everyone!!! there is a road course here too!!! 1/4 mile drag strip!! hell they even do auto x here!!! every sunday during the summer there is one!!! plenty of hotels and places to eat!!! plus im here. so thats a big plus.

[turbovanman²]

I'd be in for Vegas, wife even said she'd come, renew our vows, lol.



Yea :(

Oh wow, :mecry:

I thought it was some hole in the wall until you listed off its features, damn.

[roachjuice]

It's a real nice track. Now thunder valley is a crud hole in Oklahoma city. It's an hour and half drive from me. I'd go to Vegas.

Good call, PO spent a bazillion dollars having 8 way adjustable Porsche Carrera seats installed.:eyebrows: Not only are they waaaay comfortable, they will recline completly flat for a nap or uh, whatever;) Maybe not a bazzilion but I think he said they ran him $2100. for the seats+install:)

Hmmm.... I guess I'd have to see them. I don't like hacking apart a factory GN, but if it looks ok and is wayyyy more comfortable, I guess it's ok. I mean, it's not like the factory buckets are uncomfortable IMO...

I almost signed on the dotted line on a 86 limited T-type with split bench pillowed velour seats. Like sitting on your couch. That car was calling to me like a moth to a flame. Pretty rare combo in the Regals. Came to my senses and bought my Santa Fe blue GLHT instead.

[supercrackerbox]

Not that rare, depending on the color and other options. My Regal has the pillow top split bench. You're welcome to come get them if you'd like.

[ATaylorRacing]

I emailed the local track owner. Waiting on response. Pits here are paved. Have score boards. And this is a 1/4 track. :D if interested in Tulsa I'm all for helping out!! There is no local Sdac chapter here. Id be willig form one! there are some turbo mopar people here. They just don't get on here as often as I do.

[sdac guy]

I know Johnny's standing outside his mailbox now........ don't want to keep him waiting too long!Well since the current issue just went out a little over a week ago, it will probably be a month or two. I managed to get out 5 issues (the goal is 5-6 a year) in the last year even though submitted articles were very few and far between. The next issue is due in December, but if they do one before then it will be a bonus.

[Pat]

Lost track of membership and let it lapse...just renewed!

In the meantime, if the location is already picked, the sooner it's released the better. I for one have a business trip that lands on the same week as SDAC every year. If SDAC travel is doable from a location standpoint, the more time I have to make alternative plans for the business trip the better. Meaning...the sooner I know where SDAC is, the more likely it is I'll be able to go. :-)

[30 PSI SHADOW]

im with pat on this. why is always top secret? Its just a date. Id like to plan things early too. thanks for understanding! see everyone soon i hope!

[BadAssPerformance]

It is not "top secrect" as much as details are getting worked out.

Our goal is to get the next "Up Front" out before December.

New SDAC 22 thread HERE (http://www.turbo-mopar.com/forums/showthread.php?62223-SDAC-22-time!&p=859462#post859462)

[sdac guy]

im with pat on this. why is always top secret? Its just a date. Id like to plan things early too. thanks for understanding! see everyone soon i hope!It's never been a secret, except we've liked to let our members know before the public. And sometimes it is necessary to go a little into the planning stages prior to releasing the place. After all if something else came up for the normal date and we had to change, we might change location rather than date. Not announcing until we absolutely sure is just the proper way to do business.

All that said, it may be possible, if you sweet talk JT enough, that he will open a thread in the SDAC Members Only forum, and spill the beans there. But that is entirely up to him.
