I'd make the drive from Columbus, Ohio as long as the weather was somewhat cooler and agreeable. Something in November/December maybe?

Thanks Bad Bent..been a lurker here for awhile, another one who came over from suzuki-forums. Just decided to start being a bit more active, as I'm beginning to have more and more plans for my Metro. It's nice to see what everyone has been doing to theirs.

I've got a hair brained idea about some turbocharging, a fuel cell, and a shot at Bull Run...you never know LOL

Yes, :thumb amorano, have you seen the latest Geopalooza pics? Great, eh, and IMHO we have an excellent forum here, thanks to Mr. Mullet. Your 'wild and crazy' ideas "about some turbo charging, a fuel cell, and a shot at Bull Run" are welcome. Please share and we live for pictures, eh. :lol

Thanks to MetroMatt I'm watching THE GUMBALL RALLY later tonight. :popcorn

Bull Run sounds like fun!! I'm going to watch all the YouTube vids now. Click: Bull Run, and you know of 2008 Gumball 3000 (24:35) on YouTube. :popcorn
I was thinking the more legal and quite expen$$$ive Targa Newfoundland. :rocker

The Geoball Rally?

So what do we all think of Salt Lake City Utah? And lets plan it during the Bonneville salt flat races! I'd just have to get my Metro land speed record ready! We could make it a weekend thing, like maybe get there Friday end on Sunday.

World Finals in October would be a lot of fun. If it's short notice we might be able to plan it for next year 2010?

I'll be at the World of speed. In Sept. I can't wait. What I really need is a body to race there. For the first year I run, It will be in the 130 club. To run in a class, you have to carry all the saftey stuff the big boys run. There is a guy that tried to run in a modified class last year. He has a 95 I think. He has a 1.0l 2 stroke snow mobile engine. Hooked through a stock trans. Had problems with the clutch to flywheel set up. He should have it all worked out this year though. I'll let you know. I can't wait

What is a Hayabusa? And is it contagous? No for my Bonneville car, I want to see just how fast a natural asp. 3cyl. will go. Then maybe super charged?

Like I said, all you have to do is post a place and a date and I will put it up on the main page. No need to go all out like I have, but it's would be nice to grab a few packs of dogs and stuff.

I don't have that much energy John. Years ago they had a contest in Vegas, lookin for the lasiest man in town. I was layin up under a tree trying to beat the heat. When the Mayor of Vegas came up to me and said, "Murf we had a contest to see just who is the lasiest man in all of Las Vegas, And you won." Oh yeah I said. Just what did I win. He said "You won a $1000.00 cash. I looked him right in the knee cap and said would you mind rolling me over and sticken it in my pocket! LOL

I was thinking about a get together in Northern Denver/Fort Collins/Greeley area the same day as THE Geopalooza, but figures I had to work weekends in July. Anyway, I'm up for anything north of I-70 and south of I-80 along the Front Range. VERY informal works for me. Maybe raid a Sonic or an A&W somewhere around Loveland (with permission of course). They have cruise night at the A&W in Eaton, CO for old and muscle cars - just a thought.

oh just had an idea!!!theres a sonic's here in reno thats real close to the 395 and not too far from the i-80 interchange...what about a meet up there?? then we can all converge at rancho san rafael park, which isnt too far near the main street, virginia st....its a HUGE park, cant miss it...they hold the annual balloon races in sept. which will be this coming up weekend...plus other events...

let me know if this may be a good place to meet n greet plus, i can figure out what other events or places we can visit...auto musuem maybe? im not still sure about the time of the year, day, etc...like i said in another post, i dont want people to risk their lives if they have to drive or travel far...i mean i can say lets do it this november but then winter starts early in alot of states...bad driving conditions, etc...
