Schedule of Events

[ensteele]

Has anybody got a schedule of events yet? When people arrive and other events. Just thought I would check before getting a ticket so I don't miss anything. :)

[Aredubjay]

Friday night -- earlybirds get together, drink beer look at cars, go to bar, look at cars, drink beer.

Saturday -- have breakfast, look at cars, drink beer. look at cars, drink beer. Go to lunch. Look at cars. Drink beer.

Saturday Night -- run to beer depot to get more beer. Look at cars. Drink beer. Go to dinner, eat, drink beer. Go back to hotel parking lot. Look at cars, drink beer. By now, you're out of beer. You start hittin' up Green-eyed lady for some of her Asti. If she refuses, go to Ron's box and draw off a paper cup full of his fine vintage grapes of wrath. Fall upstairs to bed. Get in bed. Put one foot on floor to keep room from spinning -- won't stop -- run to bathroom and YAK! Lay down on nice, cool bathroom floor 'til...

Housekeeping wakes you on SUNDAY -- find that everyone else has left, walk to your car, alone and dejected and go home.

That 'bout cover it y'all? :D :D :D :D

[ensteele]

Hey, that sounds great!!! Do we ever get together and have a drink and talk about the cars - you know, the SVX? :rolleyes: ;) :) :)

[Aredubjay]

Forgot that last point.;)



OOOPSEY!:D

[Budfreak]

1 Event to look forward to is Budfreak getting completely wasted off of asti, budweiser, yengling, and jaegermeister and letting Mrs. Budfreak completely abuse his Road Demon in the parking lot upon which afterwards they leave the sunroof popped open in a non stop downpour all night so they have a neat little pool in the SVX to call there own in the morning.:o:D:p:(

[ensteele]

Friday night -- earlybirds get together, buy Earl a beer, look at cars, go to bar, look at cars, buy Earl a beer.

Saturday -- have breakfast, look at cars, buy Earl a beer. look at cars, buy Earl a beer. Go to lunch. Look at cars. Drink beer and buy Earl a beer.
Saturday Night -- run to beer depot to get more beer for Earl. Look at cars. Buy Earl a beer. Go to dinner, eat, buy Earl a beer. Go back to hotel parking lot. Look at cars, buy Earl a beer. By now, you're out of beer - Earl drank it all. You start hittin' up Green-eyed lady for some of her Asti. If she refuses, go to Ron's box and draw off a paper cup full of his fine vintage grapes of wrath for Earl. Fall upstairs to bed. Get in bed. Put one foot on floor to keep room from spinning -- won't stop -- run to bathroom and YAK! Lay down on nice, cool bathroom floor 'til...

Housekeeping wakes you on SUNDAY -- find that everyone else has left, walk to your car, alone and dejected so before you go home, you decide to buy Earl a beer. You also feel guilty for not buying Earl enough beer before you fell on your face the night before. :eek: :rolleyes:

That 'bout cover it y'all? :D :D :D :D

Randy - I fixed your post!!! :rolleyes: :o

[svxfiles]

Don't forget "MONSOON MADNESS!":D
Thats the game where you get REALLY, REALLY drunk and change Ken Lee's ball joints at midnight, in the dark, in the high wind, in the rain, under water, while drunk!:rolleyes:
Young Tom, wana play?:rolleyes:

Thank you "young" Tom and the big "old" Tom. :D :p :o
I hope that's no rain, not as cold, no high wind, for this year. So you can change more this time, I'd get the parts ready if I come. :D
PS: Young Tom, hope your finger cut is recovered by now. Thanks. :D

Earl, if I make it, that'll be my "pressure" to meet you. You should take some vacations, buy a big-big truck, (like they delivered all the new cars), park all your SVXi at the back and drive to Reading. That'll definitely help increase the number of SVXi attended for sure.
:D-:D

I just got off the phone with Maple Grove Raceway,
http://www.maplegroveraceway.com/eventschedule.asp
and they will be racing Saturday April 21st!
If you want to race for a trophy, have street tires and a closed exhaust, they will let you run for $25.00!:cool:
We are to call them as the Reading Event draws closer to see when they open, but for now it's 11:00 A.M.

I know it's not the parking lot speedway, but it's close and LEGAL!!!:cool:

Tom, I'd rather not participate in the Monsoon Madness again... too much risk of infection:D :D :rolleyes:

I will definately be up for running the drag... We could have a rally to get there:cool:

Tom

[TomsSVX]

Tom

[SVXRide]

Note to Tom -- please call Maple Grove and make sure they have no brick walls in the staging or finish line areas (beat ya to it Ben!!:p )



-Bill (out to set the NA SVX 1/4 mile record in '07!)

[TomsSVX]

lets hope there are no gaurdrails around either:rolleyes: :D

[svxcess]

Are there any tech sessions or demonstrations scheduled for this year?
.

[ensteele]

I bet AreDub will do his famous PS O-Ring Replacement.:rolleyes: :D :D :D

[TomsSVX]

whatever you want... I am sure plenty of people could benefit from them... Lets just hope for dry weather this time

Tom

[Aredubjay]

Yeah, yeah, yeah....I torque the bolts a little light, being careful not to over-torque (since it wasn't my car) and I gotta get poo-poo for the rest of my life. Sheesh. Just be glad I didn't change your oil.:p :D

[RSVX]

What about the timing on the famous Chris and Kelli defacings of Randys SVX?

[TomsSVX]

Fri night: Everyone gather and meet/greet. Ben and Dave, get ready to get dirty, I want to get cracking on the 5speed swap that night

Sat morning.. Tech session 1: Solenoid C replacement on Bill's pearly if he shows up with that car

tom

[ensteele]

I have been thanking my lucky stars every day after that. :D :D :p

The best part that I remember was that you put the bottle of fluid under the front of the car so nobody would kick or spill it. Yep, that's what happened, sombody with BIG FEET found it. :D :D :D

[TomsSVX]

Saturday, we will be running a road rally for those iterested... For the prize, we will include one of the things from the raffle collection for the winner. I am not sure what time on Saturday the rally will start... Dave, got any ideas for when we will send them off??

Are there going to be two racing events on Saturday or just the rally? I was reading above about a racing event at Maple Grove and I just wanted to clarify if that was still going on as well.

A couple of the "Speed Freaks" (:mad: ) will tarnish the stellar reputation of the SVX group by "Drag Racing" our fine GRAND TOURING Machines!:mad: at Maple Grove!:mad:















Mine will be the insanely fast SUPERCHARGED automatic!:D :cool: :rolleyes:














Grand Touring my @ss!

[TomsSVX]

you have got it right... hte road rally is not time based but mileage based. So, for your convenience, we had the rally run right next door to the race track in order to allow people running the rally to come in and spectate. The rally will run the same time as the drag races

Randy,

On Friday, you forgot "eating Italian pastry" while drinking beer, for those who arrive before midnight.

Earl, I hope you like cannoli and the other one which I can say, but not even begin to try to spell. Phonetically it is pronouned 'svill-ya-tel'

From the site Moio's Italian Pastry Shop (http://www.moios.com/index2.htm) (in Monroeville, PA -- just outside of Pittsburgh):

Sfogliatelle: It means "many layers". A crispy shell stuffed with a baked ricotta cream with pieces of candied fruit inside.

The name is Sfogliatella (pronounced sfo-lyah-TEL-e ) and more info can be found HERE (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sfogliatella)

Bring it on! :D :D :D

[LarryIII]

Earl,

I will have some Italian pastry reserved just for you. Also, If you fly on USeless Air into Philly be sure to carry-on everything. US Air has a distinct habit of losing luggage, especially in the Philly airport, which is their hub.

Did I mention sweet Italian desert wine to comliment the pastry......who says the Ferrari club members are the only ones who appreciate the finer things in life?:D

[ensteele]

I will only have carry on luggage so I can get out of there quickly and not worry about them loosing it. :o They are not the only ones to loose luggage. :(

[ensteele]

Earl,

At first I missed this. I get it! Ron will be bringing Box-O-Sweet Italian Desert Wine! You can always depend on Ron to appreciate the finer things in life. :D :D

Oooops, did I say depends? :rolleyes:

[TomsSVX]

For a select few glasses, maybe I will bring some of Mama's homemade Chianti, which is absolutley delicious:)

tom

[TomsSVX]

As it turns out, the pearly i just sold has some leaky front seals... Friday afternoon/evening I will be doing a tech session on how to replace them;) As well as a timing belt replacement...etc...

Tom

[ensteele]

I am looking forward to the tech sessions. I am always ready to learn something or a different way of doing things. :) :)

How much goes on on Sunday? I've got a buddy from Mahopac who's going to be in Allentown for the weekend who'd like to stop by, and he doesn't think he'll be able to make it on Saturday.

Actually, not a lot happens on Sinday.

On Saturday night most members are up late, hanging in the parking lot or the lounge, until the wee hours. Members leave at various times on Sunday, depending on the distances they have to drive.

Most have breakfast and hang around until checkout time and leave. There are no events scheduled for Sunday, but some impromptu plans may be made by local members.


Then people start thinking about Lafayette II or Reading IX... :)

New PS lines and hoses
New trans lines and hoses
New T-belt
New water pump
new cam and crank seals
Full tune up
New rear wheel bearings

I have the same problem with my window, I'm assuming that it's off the track and something is probably broken. I was going to take it apart and see what's up but I have several more important issues first.

[Budfreak]

So we have to choose between the Rally and drag Racing?:confused: DAMMIT. Drag racing it is.:D(If I kill my front diff again can I get a tow?:o)

I am sure we can tear it down for you, but I am not sure we can get it working or back together. :D :D

[angrydan]

Not to be a P.I.T.A., but does anyone have an update regarding to (roughly) what will be going on when? I'm a Reading first timer...and I get that this is all pretty informal, I just don't want to show up on Sat and everyone is gone! :eek:

If there is a lot going on Friday, I might try to sneak out of work early. I live pretty close to Morgantown, so I will be commuting back and fourth, and didn't want to miss anything (esp. on Saturday!)

Thanks guys!

[TomsSVX]

Tom,

Friday is also for eating Italian pastry while drinking sweet Italian desert wine (no box-o-wine here).
Maybe a sugar high is what I need to get in the spirit.

Lemme see...

Tranny smokin': Either they didn't get the PS lines tight or, you've got a leaking tranny cooler line.

You probably need the window clip, an easy fix. Order part #62101PA081, do a search for the procedure.

See y'all at Reading!
