Sdac-17

[Dave]

A little early, I know. Just curious if there's any word or rumor where the next will be held.

-Bryan

[Frank]

Wouldnt you like to know. HA!


Actually I dont know either!

[GLHS592]

I've heard it will be in San Diego.

[contraption22]

I heard Anchorage, Alaska mid February. And we are having a joint event with the AMC Eagle Owners Club, so we can kick their asses at ice racing.

[BadAssPerformance]

I'm sooo there dude!

[turbovanman²]

I can do San Diego, :thumb:

[2.216VTurbo]

I heard Vegas...

Of course it didn't come from Barry or anyone connected with SDAC, but it almost makes sense. Even if the amount of vehicals in attendance are down some, the bodies count would likely go up:) How hard is it to talk the GF/wife/significant other into a veags trip:eyebrows: ?

[BadAssPerformance]

How hard is it to talk the GF/wife/significant other into a veags trip:eyebrows: ?

What if they all want to go? :D :eek:

[sdac guy]

We have a loaction (general area) that is being looked into by local members.

We will go back to our "normal" schedule of starting the weekend after Father's Day, which makes it start on June 23, 2007 (90% sure on that).

As we did in the past, members will get first notice via online boards and the newsletter. After that we will make a public announcement, probably around March.

All possible sites mentioned so far have been removed from our "short list". Sorry. :D

Barry

[turbovanman²]

Give us a hint, sheesh, :eyebrows:

Any further than San Diego, I am out so I guess it doesn't really matter for me, :(

[BadAssPerformance]

Give us a hint, sheesh, :eyebrows:

Not Topeka ;) .... never in the same spot consecutive years :thumb:

[BIGBRUDDA]

I say we have it in Isenbergs fancy-schmany new garage:D

[Marcus86GLHS]

was there ever an SDAC event in New England?

can someone from SDAC comment on the general population of SDAC (regional) membership by location? in other words, where are the most members located?

[BadAssPerformance]

Most recent was SDAC 13 was based in Aberdeen, MD.

[GLHS592]

I say we have it in Isenbergs fancy-schmany new garage:D

Anybody is more than welcome to have a mini SDAC at my house. I'll see if we can rent the airport for a day for drag racing. We can do burnouts in from of my wife's boss's house at 1:00 AM.

[Boost_Virgin]

Give us a hint, sheesh, :eyebrows:

Any further than San Diego, I am out so I guess it doesn't really matter for me, :(

No you better be there breaking some kind of van record. Even if it's most miles driven to the event!:thumb:

[j4278h]

I say it should be near Kalamazoo, MI.

There is a great drag strip US131 which is 20 miles north along with Gingerman roadcourse which is 35 min. away.

I'm not biased at all:)

Come on I'm willing to Bribe Barry with a free glht omni to sway the vote.

[BadAssPerformance]

We have a loaction (general area) that is being looked into by local members.

ditto

[sdac guy]

was there ever an SDAC event in New England?Twice we have looked into it. The first time was for SDAC 8 I think (under the prior management). Then for SDAC-13 we started up in N.E. and could not find a track that we could afford to rent (we just wanted to rent it, not BUY it) nor a track that would let us run freely during a weekday. Aberdeen MD was the furthest north we could find on the east coast where there were tracks that really wanted our business and didn't have homeowner assn rules that sucked. In that search we started in the area of NED but also looked at upstate NY. A few drag strips told us that on a weekday, we could only race between 10am & 3 pm, and/or that only one car could go down the track at a time, and that all cars had to have mufflers and meet a max noise limit.


can someone from SDAC comment on the general population of SDAC (regional) membership by location? in other words, where are the most members located?By far the largest grouping is in the midwest, namely Ohio, Michigan, & Illinois. But there is a good size group out east, and I think PA may lead the pack as the state with the most members. I had a thread on td.com in the members area that had a breakdown, but that info is pretty old now.

Our second largest grouping by area would have to be mid-Atlantic up through New England. Which makes the poor attendance at SDAC-13 even more of a mystery. I think the torrential rain a few days before and right up to our event, with massive flooding everywhere, had a lot to do with it. When I drove up on Friday that week, it rained from Ohio till I got to the motel in MD. And the last couple hundred miles were a downpour the whole time.

If you were to send me the city and state columns from you database, I can easily create a Google Earth Plot.

[Marcus86GLHS]

BARRY thanx for the info, glad to read your team tried.

rain on the east coast keep getting worse over the years, seems that way at least.

Kalamazoo? count me in for that one, i am a WMU alumni.

I made this a while back from some membership data Barry posted.

[Frank]

Looks pretty good and about right.... looks like we should host it in Pittsburgh or Cincinatti every year from here on out. I say Pittsburgh because of the good selection of tracks around.... plus its not as blazing hot there. ;)


Frank

[MiniMopar]

It would be interesting to see WHERE in the states the density is. A Google plot would show that nicely. Clustered around the big cities, I assume. Clearly, there isn't a huge density north of Wisconsin?

[LynX853]

how about the MD, DC, VA area on top of that we can rent out Maryland international raceway which isnt that expensive to rent and its the fastest and best (in my oppinion) tracks on the east coast...
just a thought

www.mirdrag.com

[Frank]

MIR (30minutes away from me :D ) was the home of SDAC-3???????

www.mirdrag.comThat actually isn't that cheap. It still falls into the $60 per car cost range. If the first 8 racers cost $800 and each additional 8 cost another $400, and we get our usual 60 racers, then 52 / 8 =6 with 4 remainder, rounded up to 7 times $400 = $2800 + the original $800 = $3600 divided by 60 racers = $60 per racer/car. Which is about average we've paid the last few times. Their site doesn't say if liability insurance is included for that price. If their insurance doesn't cover us, then we have to buy insurance which runs about $2500 per day for track events.

Both of our most recent drag events at SDAC's 14 & 15, the dragstrip provided coverage for us as part of their premium. But that is not always the case.

Barry

[sdac guy]

MIR (30minutes away from me :D ) was the home of SDAC-3???????SDAC-2.

SDAC-3 was in Detroit.

Barry

[Frank]

Thanks for the right information... couldnt remember it... plus I was only 11 at the time and to think you all were near! LOL. MIR has gotten alot more expensive lately... alot of publicity and upgrades... it is still not as fast for us guys when compared to Cecil which is not that far away. A couple of our x MD guys (Squirrel and White Lightning aka James and Ryan) almost killed themselves at MIR trying to match the times they ran in Cecil at SDAC-13 which was horribly HOT! It was like 102*F on the track!

[BadAssPerformance]

I made this a while back from some membership data Barry posted.

Nice plot... keep in mind that this is of members, not enthusiasts. I am sure that if we could get all of the enthusiasts in Northern IL and WI to join up that both states would be dark red :thumb:

[sdac guy]

FrankEmail is on it's way.

Thanks, Barry

[altered7151]

Sure would be nice to see one out West...

[Frank]

Here is the Google Earth plot of SDAC members by city only. Maybe we can work something our Barry to have higher detail (street address) as long as I only publish the high altitude version like this picture. The reason is because multiple people in a city only show up as one dot.

Enjoy!
Frank

[MiniMopar]

Wow...that says a lot for sure.

[slasky]

We could have it in NY and drag at NYIRP and road race at walkins glen.

Here is the info for NYIRP:
Would you like to have the track all to yourself? You can. New York Int'l Raceway Park is available for private rentals.
The track is available any day of the week, whenever there is not a scheduled event. All rental sessions will be run during daylight hours.

$500 TRACK RENTAL INCLUDES
bullet

Compulink Timing System set in Auto Mode
bullet

Lane sprayed 500 feet (you choose which lane)
bullet

EMT personnel and ambulance on site
bullet

6 hour sessions
bullet

1-10 vehicles

OPTIONS
bullet

Each additional vehicle $50
bullet

Traction compound $15/gallon

Compulink Timing System will be placed in Auto Mode. You will have to provide someone to operate the tree and burnout box. The ET slip printer will be placed on the starting line for your convenience.

A deposit of $100 is required to reserve your date. Please allow 2 weeks advance notice for scheduling purposes.

All vehicles must meet IHRA safety requirements.

[MOPAR2YA]

The freakin N.E. is to congested. Id like to see the Ohio Valley again. As for drag racing, we can always find a nice long hotel parking lot...

[BadAssPerformance]

Awesome plot. How do we calculate the epicenter?

A deposit of $100 is required to reserve your date. Please allow 2 weeks advance notice for scheduling purposes.

All vehicles must meet IHRA safety requirements.There are a number of limitations there. First, if the timing system is in auto mode, we will not be able to run our normal events schedule (bracket, heads up, quick 8 ...) So for someone to be in the tower manning the controls for us will be additional $$$ (if they will even do it).

They mention one lane running, we want both lanes prepped and will use them all day.

What is with the 6 hour session? When we do our normal event schedule, if we have 60 folks, it is tough to get it done in 8 hours sometimes. So no doubt 8 hours will be additional $$$.

Again there is no mention of the insurance issue.

Finally with 60 racers we are still looking at $3000 or more (depending on how much more they charge for the items we need (concession stand too?).

And as for the Glen, when we checked there in 2003 they wanted $10K for a day. And they had no dates available when we checked about 8 months in advance. IIRC they wanted insurance with $5 million liability coverage. The $2500 I quoted is for a $2 mil policy. Each additional $1 mil is another $1000 in premium. So insurance for $5 Mil in liability costs over $5500 for a day. By the time we get done with everything, might as well call it a $16K day.

Noooo, I don't think the Glen is in our future. In fact ALL the road course tracks in New England are likewise expensive.

[Frank]

I personally like Pittsburgh area as I have expressed to Barry G! :D He is probably sick of me mentioning it by now! :D You have Beaver Run Motorsports complex and then Keystone drag way.

I know with Beaver Run, you rent the autocross complex. Just thoughts :D That is where Heath and I used to autocross... Heath is the DSP champion and I got 3rd for DSP.

[Turbodave]

We could time people around the Cul-De-Sac, and the host hotel could be Ken's basement (ask Patty what time the continental breakfast is served:D ). Steaks on the Grill for Hospitality night (it's always hospitality night when you hang with the OVC guys), a couple Kegs on the deck, and I'm sure we could entertain ourselves with the hill in the back yard. It would probably be the most profit making SDAC yet...;)

What about around Detroit? Is Milan Dragway expensive to rent?

[BadAssPerformance]

There have been a few SDAC events in Detroit... I was at Milan for SDAC 7 and SDAC 10...

[R/T]

Hmmm, no members in Cuba..... :D

I'm all for another Midwest SDAC. :thumb:

[BadAssPerformance]

It could be in Miami or Alaska and I'll do my best to get there! WoooHooo! cant wait till next year!

[SpoolinGLH]

Im anxious to hear where its going to be as this will hopefully be my first SDAC im going to attend....as long as its not TOO far from Ohio.....I say have it around my area. LOL... I live 20 mins away where the HOT ROD supernats used to be held up until i think 2 years ago..... We have two choices of drag strips. Quaker Dragraceway and Thompson Drag...Then we can cruise 224 in Boardman. Where ALL the cars hang out at A&W and Chilis.....that would be sweet!!

[bradp]

I just hope there is an auto-x next year. This will be my 1st year back after a few years. Somebody needs to put Angelo back in his place in the ET drags also.

Same for me.....This will be my 1st one this year. Ive heard so many good things from the other Rochester guys that have gone. Your spot sounds sweet. I like the idea of the street cruising at a local car hangout. I vote somewhere in the Ohio, NY, PA area. The closer to Rochester, NY...the better:lol:

[Directconnection]

Wow...that also goes to explain some of why the Cecil County Dragway get togethers are so well attended each year.

I still don't know why Cecil County doesn't just become the home track for future SDACs? They always get huge turnouts as pat said.

[sdac guy]

I still don't know why Cecil County doesn't just become the home track for future SDACs? They always get huge turnouts as pat said. We rent the track we use. We like for our folks to have the track to ourselves so we can run a full race program. If we went in on a weekend like the annual Cecil outing, we would just end up with whatever they organized for the public.

And because we rent the track, we must charge enough to cover the rental, usually greater than $60 per car. That fee limits the turnout to any of our drag events, as some folks feel that is just too much to pay to drag race.

SDAC-13 which did use Cecil, was not a successful SDAC from either the attendance or monetary point of view, and the drag racing fees just barely paid for the track rental.

That is why SDAC doesn't consider Cecil as a "home" track for future SDAC's.

That and the fact that we do move the annual convention around so that hopefully it will be close to most of our members at some point.


Barry

[Johnny]

Because of my changed schedule for the coming year, it seems like I will be attending, no matter where it is. "IF" there is an autocross, I'd bring my GLHS, if not I'd bring the turbo wagon, wait, might be fun to bring the wagon and get first place in the autocross with it. Hey, that is a challenge, nothing else. Just want to have fun and see everyone.

As I sit right now, things look good. No, the SC isn't done yet, but I've still got what, 8 months? lol

I'll have paid vacation and probably another raise or two under my belt by then too. Don't really care where it is, I love a good road trip!

[GLHSKEN]

I'll have paid vacation and probably another raise or two under my belt by then too. Don't really care where it is, I love a good road trip!

And that is the attitude needed. It's about the people. I have more fun when I don't bring my car.

[supercrackerbox]

Oh yeah, I had a great time at '15 even without my car, but I still really want to bring one next year. I need someone to teach me how to drag race. :p

The way I see it, it's more opportunity to see more of this country. Like this past summer my brother and I went to Vegas. We could have flown, but we rented a Hemi Charger instead because I wanted to see the Utah desert on the way. Totally worth it.

[forcedfedmopar]

so where is this gonna take place?!? Between my bro and i we have about 5 cars to bring! We need time to find drivers!

[BadAssPerformance]

are you saying youll drive?

If I dont have anything running, and you get it to Chicago ;)

[BIG PSI]

I would like for everyone to LOOK at this RENTAL Program at Quaker City Dragstrip which is located in NE Ohio (Salem, Ohio) to be exact. The track has 14 staging lanes inside the guardrails, 3 more outside the rail, nice grandstands, a pavillion with picnic tables, play area for the kids, and running water in the main restrooms. If Barry needs any help setting this up I will be more than willing to help.

http://www.quakercityraceway.com/track_rentals.html

Enjoy
Chuck Green

For 4 hours with 31 or more cars racing the cost breaks down to:

$920.00
$200.00---2nd lane sprayed
$ 80.00---starter
$ 80.00---computer operator
--------------------------
$1,280.00---total


If we race for 6 hours it goes to: $1,620.00 total

If we race for 8 hours it goes to: $1,960.00 total

[sdac guy]

While that is a good price for an 8 hour rental (under $2K) the first line of text on that page DOES apply to us.
Different rates apply for leasing the track to hold an actual event or show. As we do run an actual event (all day rental with bracket, heads up, Q8, etc). I would think their price for that tyoe of rental would still be reasonable though.

Thanks for the info Chuck.

And thanks to others for posting stuff also. While I don't comment on each and every suggestion, I have made note of the venues that have been listed.

Barry

[BIG PSI]

If you would like Barry I can get with the Owner of the Track, Dan, and see what he would charge for a rental---just let me know....

Chuck

[Dave]

I'm sure Chuckles can get the hookup. I think he's done over 3 events at Quaker City already? I think Dan still owned it back then.

[firebaron90]

And that is the attitude needed. It's about the people. I have more fun when I don't bring my car.

Yes I agree. And if it is Pittsburgh, I can rent another victim for the bracket races.....:evil:

[WVRampage]

Pittsbugh to Salem is all good for me,been both places many times but Havent raced in Salem but of well Im sure I can start....

[Dave]

Barry, we don't have to tell them it's a meet. Just show up with a butt-load of old, crappy Turbo Mopars. :thumb: Tell them we want the track b/c we're having a party. :p

[beaker300]

hey all salem is a nice track ... if ohio or that area is one of the suggested areas.... check out thompson raceway in thompson ohio. The track is a great track. Raced there for NSCA last year with dad. Just a thought. theres no way that place is expensive lol.

Lee Sebring

[SpoolinGLH]

Even though Thompson is the track i go to the most , I have to say Quaker is the best place for what were doing. Hell Quaker held the Hot Rod Super Nats. :thumb:

[DC Turismo]

The Pittsburgh area would be an excellent choice. I am not being biased by any means, for I greatly enjoy somewhat of a road adventure to an SDAC event. However, there is so much to do around here. Roughly thirty minutes away from Pittsburgh Raceway Park is a slew of hotels including the Holiday Inn, an ongoing Best Western (still under construction) and an ongoing Hampton Inn (under construction). I can name at least 8 beer distributors between these hotels and the track. There is a mall every 30-40 minutes no matter which way you go. Pittsburgh is a 40-50 minute straight shot on the non-toll highway, perfect for getting a big car cruise together! Also very important, is Beaver Run, which, from what I hear, is a great autocrossing facility. Finally, there is a BEAUTIFUL state park that is located roughly at this epicenter I am basing everything from, timewise, which would be more than capable of holding an SDAC showfield!

If needed, I could gather contact information and whatever else would need done, as I am going to have some free time on my hands since student teaching ends next week!

[Dave]

Thompson is nice, but not FWD friendly, unless you pull a Kyle and hate your rear bumper cover. ;) *smack!* Wall...

[Warren Stramer]

Anything new?

[sdac guy]

Still looking at sites.

But we will most likely return to our normal dates, which means starting the weekend after Father's Day. This year that means starting on June 23 and going for the next 2-3 days.

Barry

[slasky]

Can we get an idea on possible locations? I know you probably don't want to give out specific places yet but a general area like north east, mid west etc. would be nice.

[BadAssPerformance]

I'm voting for North America again :thumb:

[sdac guy]

Two Hints:

1.) The area we were looking at AND the area we are now looking at have both been mentioned in this thread.

2.) It will not be within 200 miles of, or west of, the Mississippi River.

Hopefully we will have a location to announce in our "normal" time frame which will be late February or early March.

It is better not to announce the location we are looking into so if it doesn't happen folks won't be disappointed. We are so far from a decision on this my head hurts. :D

Barry

[GLHS592]

I'm guessing it won't be Memphis in August.

[Frank]

I am hoping for Carlisle to Pittsburgh... I need to hit a wedding in Carlisle on the 23rd. However Budds Creek would be sweet, however unlikely because I might know about it since I live 25miles away. ;) However unless you put the hotel over in VA, I dont recommend Budds Creek because there just isnt good hotels in St. Mary's County for both rates and get away with being noisy. Hotel rates are just really inflated because of all the DoD work that goes on around here.

There have been a couple in Maryland and I would expect a return to Cinci in the future. Part of the location picked is (sometimes not always) determined by how many SDAC members live there and how active the SDAC Chapter is there.

[j4278h]

even better kalamazoo is almost directly between chicago and detroit which are headquarters for the 2 larger sdac chapters right?

Chicago chapter
Great lakes chapter

what about Norwalk raceway?? maybe a little too big/pricey for this event?

I just hope there is an auto-x next year. This will be my 1st year back after a few years. Somebody needs to put Angelo back in his place in the ET drags also.

I'll take that angelo challenge best 3 out of 5 runs switch cars after each pass. plus I'll run him in the auto-x I know I can take him there.:eyebrows: I'm old but still have some win's left in me, what you think:thumb:

Hey Cliff, good to see you here!! :thumb: :thumb:

[pokadot1]

We rent the track we use. We like for our folks to have the track to ourselves so we can run a full race program. If we went in on a weekend like the annual Cecil outing, we would just end up with whatever they organized for the public.



SDAC-13 which did use Cecil, was not a successful SDAC from either the attendance or monetary point of view, and the drag racing fees just barely paid for the track rental.

That is why SDAC doesn't consider Cecil as a "home" track for future SDAC's.



Barry

Barry Has a great point money is what keeps this annual fun going.
SDAC 13 was just not very good for me, for what ever the reason. Job Change, no time off, ect. Local's just did not come out in the force like they could have. Maybe it was too hot or the wrong weekend?
I would bet money that if DV-SDAC had a second chance they could "get-r-dun" and have a great event.
I have raced Quaker city, Pittsburg dragway and Thomspon. In what I have read and seen, I think SDAC Pittsburg area members can put on a good show. I think they should be high on the list for the event in 07 or 08.

I hope we pick a weekend I can come out and Play ,My new toy, 1986 GLHS #481 needs to blow the dust off and have fun.

Hey good to here from you too. Darn glad to be here, I have been shelby less too long. "Got SSSSSS" is covered in the garage waiting for the spring's good weather. I really like her. Only one small set back, was her trans was noisy so after 5 miles of driving around the block I put her on the lift. The trans took 2 qt's of fluid and still was not full, ouch. Real glad I did not try to drive her home from chi town.Sooo, Since I have not owned a 525 that did not leak, I get what I expected. I hope it holds up. I hope to put her back to "stock looking", and just have fun.

I would think Miami would be out too.

gah, not miami! what about us florida folks? :) there's a lot of subies, evos, and fart-pipe-equiped hondas with the front hub caps removed that need a good learning around here!

San Diego would have been nice, I could have easily made that, :D

I am not saying it is out.... just very low probability. I am just posting stuff based on his public comments.

Hey Cliff,

Nice to hear you're still around. I think we can both easily take Angelo on the Auto-X. But I think the ET's are a toss up. I plan on going this year no matter what.

[R/T]

SDAC POWERS ACTIVATE!!!! :p

[firebaron90]

I would bet money that if DV-SDAC had a second chance they could "get-r-dun" and have a great event.

Yeah and maybe If we had the green light to do the leg work sometime before march, we could have done it right the first time.

[sdac guy]

Yeah and maybe If we had the green light to do the leg work sometime before march, we could have done it right the first time. The DV folks did a commendable job planning and working the event, and they did a good job working in our normal time frame.

SDAC-13 had nearly all the events folks wanted. We didn't have a road course, but we did have an autocross. The event was centered in one of our most populus membership areas, but even with that, people just didn't come to it (for whatever reasons). And that was the only real problem we had with SDAC-13.

Barry

[DodgeZ]

Barry what events are you planing this year? Auto-X, Drag racing, and car show?

[Mario]

Milan! :)

[sdac guy]

Barry what events are you planing this year? Auto-X, Drag racing, and car show?Car show and drags are a given, auto-x only if we can find a place and get it set up for a reasonable price (much depends on the local SCCA folks cooperation, which we couldn't get for SDAC-15). Since we are still working on the site issue, it really is way too early to say anything about plans.

Just let the OVC know when you want to come back to Cincy... We're primed and ready.

Being from Nebraska, I see it all. We'll go from 112* with 90% humidity in the summer to -30* in the winter. Or sometimes even vice versa. Last year we had an average temperature of 60* all thru January, and then the worst blizzard in 5 years on the first day of spring. When my brother and I flew to San Diego for Lollapalooza a few years back, we were laughing at the SoCalers because they thought it was hot. When I showed up for the dyno pulls at SDAC-15 several people balked at me because I was dressed in all black. Believe me, there's nothing you can throw at me that I can't handle. ;)

If we want to do burnouts, we have to go back to Memphis... That Hotel Kickedass. Dave brought the SDAC-12 video to our January SDAC-Chicago meeting :thumb:

btw, was that your million mile CTD Ram? ;)

[MOPAR2YA]

That was it, but shurely I wasnt behind the wheel doing burnouts. bad thing was about 100 miles after I left there my trans started venting pressure like a geiser through the shift boot and got stuck in 4th gear. Somehow I lost alot of oil from the trans, so I hobbled it for a while until I got pulled over and dumped in everything I had, gear oil, engine oil and some powersteering fluid, drove it back to Kansas with only fourth gear.

Did you get everything fixed up after the blown engine at Topeka?

HAHA The big wheel! I remember walking up to that gas station to get ice cream and hearing them ride down that hill from clear up there! lol..

I have video of that somewhere......It was actually Jon Jon who was the psyco on the big wheel, trying to do 720 deg spin outs......hehehe. We should have used someone's car to tow the bigwheel at speed down that hill!

the burnouts could have been better if more people did them! geez it was like pulling teeth. We got the papa john's delivery guy in the neon, and the tart in the peg leged mustang to show everyone up!;)

[Frank]

We need that video!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Frank]

Barry,
Are the dates still going to be in June with Carslie being the weekend of July 7th now? The only reason I ask, is it makes things way easier if SDAC was the following weekend starting on say Thursday instead running thru Sunday or Monday?

Just an idea.

FrankYes, I have given out the dates of June 23-26 to too many folks who are planning vacation time to change anything now.

I really do want to stay away from the July 4th weekend, that was the original reason to start on the weekend after Father's Day. I do realize that with this schedule Carlisle follows us by only 2-3 weeks, but that's life. :eyebrows:

Yeah there weren't that many doing burnouts, but I did manage to convince Brian to get his K-car out there! I even got to ride shotgun for his burnout :evil: Anyone have video of that?

[GLHSKEN]

Cincy was a good time, but Id imagine we'd have to find a different hotel...

Not true.. The hotel really liked us!!! we had the Garrison building all to ourselves.. our own pool.... Most I've seen a pool used at SDAC (oh yea... the other hotels the pools were BRO-KEN!!!)

Weather in CIncy is hit and miss. The week before SDAC, the weather was in the high 70's low 80's and not really humid... We just timed it wrong...

[sdac guy]

Not true.. The hotel really liked us!!! ...Yep! I got reports from various folks during the event that the hotel had people out watching us (and even video taping us). When I went to check out, I knew I was going to talk to the motel sales manager that I had been dealing with all along, so I was a little paranoid and ready to apologize.

When I started to apologize she told me the management wasn't aware of any wrong doing so no apology was necessary. She then went on to say how thrilled they were to have us and to make sure we stayed with them if we ever came back to Cincy. All's well there! :thumb:

Barry

[turbovanman²]

So is the location decided yet?

So June huh, :o

[sdac guy]

We are closer to announcing the location than we were a month ago. The announcement will be made first to SDAC members in the online member forums & newsletter, then in the public forums (such as this) last.

Yep, starting Saturday June 23rd.

Tentative schedule will follow our normal routine.

Sat - Registration & check in
Sun - Car show & possibly cruise
Mon - Drag racing & hosp night
Tues or Wed - road rally and/or autocross
Final night will be our awards night.

Sweetness!

also wouldn''t mind PA

I've got to decide which car I am going to want to take to SDAC this year :eek:

I just wish we would know soon so things can be booked, fixed etc. If its in June, were down to 4months, not much time, :(

[BadAssPerformance]

It is the end of June tho, so more like 5 months :thumb:

[WVRampage]

I still vote for PA.Just because there is no track in WV.

[DC Turismo]

Wherever it is, I will be there this year! Although I'll be there with my Daytona instead of the Turismo... she's in retirement while I plot ways to give Kev (:number1: ) a run for his money! haha ;) :eyebrows: :bounce: Although, it may be a couple of years before the showdown can take place!

[shmedley]

No, it isn't short, it is slightly downhill. :D j/k

That sounds like Bryon out here. Plus when you are going down the track you feel like you are in Springfield from the Simpson's because you can see the cooling tower from a nearby nuclear power plant!

[BadAssPerformance]

No, it isn't short, it is slightly downhill. :D j/k

LOL, now that you mention that I do remember noticing that from SDAC-13... and my Shadow did run 13.00's at 105mph in 106F track temps!

[Dave]

Simon, you're coming for sure?? :cool:

I'm trying to make money fast so I don't come with another slow car to SDAC. In Cincy. my Spirit was slow as hell. That didn't stop me from contributing to the burnouts. :eyebrows:

Barry, has anybody ever really slammed us for doing burnouts?? I remember in Cincy the cops showed up. I almost got Bruce to take his CTD out to light 'em up. :(

[sdac guy]

Barry, has anybody ever really slammed us for doing burnouts?? I remember in Cincy the cops showed up. I almost got Bruce to take his CTD out to light 'em up. :( We've never got a "hard" complaint. Sometimes the night guy at the motel desk isn't clued in and panics but the management has never contacted me. My policy on it has been that as long as folks keep it safe and nobody complains to me, I don't care. But as soon as I get a complaint, or if the motel management calls the police, or complains directly to the participants then it must stop.

At SDAC-14 there were a few different events going on at the motel on Saturday night, a wedding reception, and a Navy reunion. The drunks from both those events caused quite a rucus in the parking lot for which the motel desk guy blamed us. When I got someone to check it out, we found out our guys were actually the only calm and quiet ones there.

I did get reports from our own people that at Cincy there were a couple of our folks driving way too fast in the parking lot, showing off, and almost hit some parked cars. If I ever witness such activity those folks may as well pack it up and go home, as they will not be allowed into any of our events for the rest of the meet. Fun can be had and still be safe, but when that line is crossed and someone becomes a threat to personal safety or property then they will be banned from the event (at the minimum).

Barry

Simon, you're coming for sure?? :cool:

Follow the directions in the post #1 in that thread.

Sorry for the confusion.

You could always just join SDAC and find out.

$30 for a membership is pennies when considering the amount of money we spend on parts throughout the year!

Great point, that is soooo true!

Anyone want to spill the beans on where its going to be held? Earlier I know when/where the better the chance I can try to plan on being there. How about someone just let us know if its east or west of the rockies?

[Frank]

There are tons of clues in this thread as to possible locations. It should be public within the next 2 weeks or so. Barry will punch people in the face if they spilled the beans. ;)


New list of order of probability based on statements ;)

Pittsburgh, PA
Kalamazoo, MI
Salem, Ohio
Walkins Glen (area), New York
Buds Creek, MD (MIR) - SDAC2
Cinncinatti, OH - SDAC15
Miami, FL

Memphis, TN
San Diego, California
Anchorage, Alaska
Las Vegas, Nevada
Centerville, TN

I know where it is... Big Bone Lick, KY. Just a few short miles from Big Beaver Lick. The autocross will be held in the parking lot of the Big Bone Lick Baptist Church.

And since the Colts destroyed the Bears, kalamazoo is no longer in the running

[85shelbycharger]

I still think that Vegas would be fun :partywoot:

[Mike_Shepard]

I know but since im new to the SDAC club I'll keep it quiet...

Just a short drive for me though

[mcsvt]

I thought the news letters were coming out soon? Once they are out then the general mass will most likely be updated :)

But I know where it is as well :D

Me too! I hope thats it!

I am currently trying to plan another trip to vegas.

[DC Turismo]

I've never been to Vegas but I'll go out there if SDAC is out there, win a ton of money on the slots, then on my way back home swing up into South Dakota and buy the brand new CSX with my winnings! :) :)

Sounds like a plan ot me!

But yes, everyone would know if you were members of the national club. You would've known a couple weeks ago and can have your vacation time and everything planned out by now and would be worry free.

[Marcus86GLHS]

one of the reasons why the classic Mopar Nationals has been so successful, and has had such great attendance, is that the location has essentially been the same ever year (with the exception of those few years at Indy)...the location was picked for its central location in terms of ownership of the cars, and the fact it is in same spot allows folks to plan well ahead.......in my opinion the SDAC should adopt a similiar tactic. pick a good central location and hold an annual national event there every year.

changing SDAC locations each year, then holding it a mystery until march, is not the best way to go, in my opinion. that being said, i do appreciate and understand why SDAC moves the event around.

i doubt i will ever attend an SDAC convention with this procedure.

...i doubt i will ever attend an SDAC convention with this procedure.

OK. Just curious why you would not because of the moving locations? What if it was in Maryland again like it has been a couple times before?

[MOPAR2YA]

We have to rove around like a band of Gypsies, because they will be on to us if we show up twice in a row... Im guessing Cincy or Pittsburg this year. i like Cincy, it closer..

[BadAssPerformance]

I though the same thing. Memphis still has a cloud of your diesel smoke over it, LOL... ;)
