SDAC FAQs

[sdac guy]

Did anyone find anything about a drive in theatre near by? It would be cool to go cruise in the cars and go see the new transformers movie.


Oh, and in regard to weather.......is it typically 100 degrees at the end of June or was that an anomaly for SDAC 15?

Our evenings are booked solid. No cruise planned this year. That's part of the problem, with evening drag racing, we have too much spare time in the day and we are busy every evening.

It is hot & humid/stormy there this week.

What about sat evening? I wasnt suggesting it as an "official" event......just wondering if there is a drive in near by?

For day time......is there a place with some mini golf or batting cage or something? Thats usually cheap and fun even if you suck. Or maybe laser tag, amusement park, water park, etc. Just throwing out some ideas....

[fleckster]

Is the Go-cart track still going to be open? Perhaps an unofficial those that want to go and pay seperately could still go if it is open normally during the day. Just a thought.

I appreciate the suggestions. We are looking at everything of that nature.

That was the problem, they are closed on Monday and they suggested we rent it (so then they would open for us). Their rental rate is very high. We would have to charge almost as much as drag racing for the number of folks we would likely get for it. Turns out the karting place is open on Tuesday so we may switch some things around in the schedule.

I would like to see this thread return to being a general info thread and not continue the discussion about SDAC events. The planning team is working on these items, and taking the time to reply to such items in this thread only slows down the process as it takes time from other needed duties.

Thanks,
Barry

I found this:

The American Museum of Brewing History
400 Buttermilk Pike
Ft Mitchell, KY 41017



Also heres a list of drive ins near the area. Looks like theres 2 or 3 pretty close by in Cinci. This might be cool to do on Saturday night as an unofficial thing. Drive the cars down, get some lawn chairs, food, and drink and watch the new transformers.

Nice. ABout a 1/2 hr away?

[BIGBRUDDA]

more like 45min. Out on Mariosrt,s side -o-town.

[sdac guy]

It turns out the Karting place is open on Tuesdays, so we've changed the schedule to have our fun run road rally on Monday and the karting on Tuesday. As a bonus, the karting place runs a special on Tuesdays where you get an extra 2 minutes added onto the normal 8 minute session.

I've updated the schedule on the SDAC website to reflect the above changes.

Are we by chance ending at the same location for the Road Ralley? I loved that restaurant on the water!

The rally is still a little up in the air. But since it will be Monday before drag racing, we will probably end up back at the motel. The schedule for it will be tight that day.

Will someone come over and START working on my car so I can take it?
Got 25 days to get it ready.

Don't feel bad. Pretty sure I blew the headgasket on the Charger last night. She might not make it to the show, in which case I'm not positive I'll attend either.

[Keito]

Actually last Wed. I brought it home.
Spent 3 days cleaning it.
Big thanks to Jay, he came over yesterday and we assembled the interior and tied up some loose ends.
Stil have to wash the exterior and install the struts with MP cut lowering springs.
Getting much closer.

Will the hotel have any kind of parking lot security? I mean I know there are upsides and downsides to security guards walking around. But we may have two unhitched, unattended trailers at the hotel sometimes and I'm wondering if there will be anybody keeping an eye on the parking lots.
