3rd annual Spring PNW FWD Mopar meet!

[Ondonti]

No, if it were a Saturday probably. but don't want to be out on the road late the day before work.

I work at 11 that night so.......

[GLHNSLHT2]

Just the way I feel. I like a day to just be lazy before work. Saturdays I'm up at 5:30am because my body thinks it's work day so I like to get out and get or do everything then. Sunday my body realizes it can sleep in a bit and catch up on all the rest it didn't get the week earlier. I don't like going to work tired. Making mistakes because of lack of sleep is dangerous in what I do.

Hoping I don't have to take a stock spirit to the meet. Maybe Mr Reaper can help make sure that doesn't happen

[Reaper1]

Yeah, man. LMK if you need some help! I was already falling asleep last night! LMAO

[ShadowFromHell]

Getting so close! Can we get a roll call on whose coming? If you send me a PM ill send you my phone number, in case you run into issues or get lost.

When looking at the car, I moved it under cover after it had gotten some water on the relays. Now the fuelpump relay turns it self on after the key is removed. I thought it had stopped happening but while I was sleeping it killed the battery : /
The only way to stop the relay is to key on, and then it will cut out for a bit after the momentary fuel pump ground finishes. It would then eventually turn itself back on whether or not the key was in the on position or even in the car. It started taking longer and longer to happen (10-20 seconds instead of 5 seconds) so I ignored it and went inside when it went a few minutes without triggering. I didn't have the wiring book out as I was not looking for electrical issues.

[Ondonti]

So, anybody going besides the people with 3.0's who live the farthest away? Both cars aren't happy and they are still showing up.

[dwh4784]

I'm not going to make it. Motor home is having electrical issues and have a camping trip next weekend so I need to get it sorted out.

[Ondonti]

Made it.

So how was it?

[Reaper1]

The attendance was lower this year, but it still seemed like an OK turnout. The cruise was awesome! Still don't know how long it was, but man...absolutely beautiful drive!!

[ShadowFromHell]

So you enjoyed the cruise? That's awesome. The roads were not as fun as I would have liked but we're the best I could do and keep it close. When I drove it originally it was 40 miles. Who were you riding with? Trying to put forum names to faces. I was in the beater CSX.

I had a good time. Turnout was about the same as last year. I just wish more 8v guys would have came. Seriously thinking of doing it on Sat next year. Thoughts?

[turbovanman²]

I'll do my best to make it next year, just too much going on, lol.

[GLHNSLHT2]

try it on a Saturday NExt year, I'll bring my SL and my canadian winter beater LS.

Chris was with me. I was quite worried the whole time that Kyle's motor would let go out in the middle of some wheat fields and we would never be able to find it again. He did a few smokey pulls copying me so I had to set a good example and stop hanging back and doing pulls. I also enjoyed passing a cop and not looking like I was part of the cruise. I noticed my fan relay is getting sketchy (doesn't always kick on) and I got quite hot after doing a rolling burnout on that super slow stretch around somebodies property. That road would be fun if you knew nobody was coming the other way.

Kyle's last real goof off pull filled his cabin with smoke and smoke was all I could see in the rear view. Very glad we made him go last! BTW, news is #4 has only 40psi compression. That was the plug I didn't like when I yanked them all out at the meet. Kyle was glad the bossy lady wasn't there to order us around while I had his motor torn down.

Cruise made up for the actual car meet being less social until the afterparty/BBQ. Maybe a slightly smaller parking area would promote integration.
