Vkg 2007
 

Anyone have any idea's for 2007 events (besides Toccoa and Eurofest). How about a brain storming session in Jan.? (No, I'm not excited about 2007:rolleyes: )

Great call. Lets put it together. I have been so covered up with work I havn't even thought about it.

I guess lets wait for some members to post here, and see who, what, and when. :laugh:

i'm up for discussion. i haven't put much thought to it yet myself. we are long overdue for an online chat.

I'm up for a chat too...just let me know when.

I guess we should start with what day of the week... I think Wed.@8:00p.m. was the last time. So, date could be the 3rd, 10th, 17th, 24th, or 31st of Jan. are some days (all Wednesdays) to maybe have the chat.

This is just an idea. It could be anyday of the week for me (after 8:00)

im gonna be kinda busy over the first part of the year. we just got in our new house. the new baby is due mid january. so im all tied up for at least january-febuary.maybe i can make silverdollar but i doubt it.

Man, it is getting close for the bread to come out oven Tony :rolleyes: . Sounds like you will have your hands full for quite some time. i hope everything goes smooth for you and the family :) .

I,m just getting people thinking about '07 (before the season sneak's up on us). The dates in above post are just to jar the old hat racks. :laugh:

yeah ive already put on my catchers mit. pretty soon ill be like piazza waitin on a fastball.little boy this time, hes got a job ahead of him if hes gonna knock my little girl out of the garage shes a vw nut. spots them on the road,in parking lots,and in driveways. shes better at seein them than i am.

It might actually be easier for me to make a couple shows this year... 'cause I won't have anything to bring :bawling: . I could pack light and buzz across state to at least catch some fun and hang out.

Jeff-

Well with the BKC Dyno Day being out of the question (after the treatment we were given by them for trying to do the right thing). The Silver Dollar Shoot-out is the first event of the season. After that would be Bug-A-Palooza. They have an audio system contest, after I get done with the jam box I am putting in the bus (you know the one Wrench) I think we could take it.
We could all show up to support the race team of Len and Jake at Road Atlanta or Savana.:agree:

Silver Dollar is fine with me
Road Atlanta (Len and Jake) just to check it out, or help out (pit crew?)
Savannah (Len and Jake) ditto
Bug-A-Paluza :agree:
Road Atlanta (Petite)
Toccoa :agree:
Eurofest :agree:

Dave, I guess you like "the goods" I sent'ya!

Yep. The cabinet is built, amps mounted to it (one for the subs and one to drive 4 more full range in the back). I have to put the second battery in today, bolt the cabinet in and wire it all up.

Man :eek: , you didn't waste anytime did you!

Dave left school b/c of recess.:D

I don't have time to mess around. I have customer cars to get out. Subs are up and thumping, I will get the 4 full range 6.5's in tomorrow before I go back to work. I broke the sub's in with some TOOL as it should be.:D

How about we have a chat session on the 17th at 8 PM? This should give us time to figure out when we can get the carbs, cup braces, distributors that Santa brought installed and when we will be ready to show off our latest upgrades to the public.

I have a couple of thoughts on events....
Silver Dollar would be good because it is early in the year - can you tell I am excited about the changes to my car and want to show it off???
Bug A Paluza is a fun weekend and good for the family
Toccoa is a must
Eurofest was great
Savannah would be good since my wife is from there and we could make a long weekend of it
I would like to make PLM in 2007
Also there are a couple of shows in Sevierville that I enjoyed in the past, especially trying to keep up with Jake through the mountains on the way to the show - which may not be so hard now!!!
And dare I say it...Bug Jam is a big show with a lot of cars

I like Nigel's list. I don't know if I can hit all of them.

The 17th @8:00pm sounds good so far, for a chat.

We still on for the 17th @8 pm people?

I'll be working but you can fill me in later.

Ok cool, we'll see who pops in...

I will try to get on on the 17th at 8.
Looking forward to a great GL 2007.

>And dare I say it...Bug Jam is a big show with a lot of cars<

:) Still one of the best on the east coast.

Granted 2006 was a little rough for Bulli Brigade and changes will be happening to that event. Maybe a bigger location as well.

Toccoa is a great event and I really hope to make the drive for that one.

Eurofest sounded cool as well!

The 17th is one of many Wednesdays I cannot do. :(

assuming i can remember, i will be on tonight. on the VKG site chat board, not here.

the list sounds good overall. there is also a GT show (downtown ATL) March 31 that might be worth hitting for the local guys. all marques of cars and many engineering projects. Eurofest is my official replacement for Bug Jam. too close together to do both and last year was confirmation for me that Eurofest is WAY more fun in many respects (closer, more fun things to do, different cars, etc). i am always up for PLM. of course, i might actually have to pay my car some attention before any of that happens for me. much to do.

sorry i have been absent much. my daughter has been making some moves to become a professional actress/singer and seems to be sucking up more and more of the spare time i didn't have to begin with. so substiution is occuring. but i have to say, she is pretty damn good and has the attention of the right people. if i wasn't able to make it, i am thrilled to try and give her the right ammo and opportunities to do it.

Unfortunately I do not think that I will be able to make the chat tonight.....I will catch up if I cannot make it.

Man... look's like I'll be typing to myself in the chat room tonight :rolleyes:

Olay it is 11 PM... Anyone chatting now?

It was at 8 PM... only lasted about forty min.

Ok as far as shows that were throw into the hat for 2007, here we go.
Bug-A-Paluza Chattanooga, TN. April 21-22.
Atlanta Bug Fever Fix Carrollton, Ga. May 20.
Southeastern Bug Fair Taccoa, GA. 2nd weekend of Sept.
Petit Le Mans Road Atlanta Braselton, GA. Oct 6.
EURO Auto Festival Greenville/Spartanburg, SC Oct 19-21.
Beth brought up C-Y-W in Tenn. but I do not have dates.

And last but not least, to support Aircooled Innovations Racing campain the F-Prod 914 at SCCA events. Sched. TBA.

Did I leave anything out? (don't say BKC Dyno Day, it was brought up,,,,,,,,, and made a better joke than anything else.)

So... I guess Siver Dollar is part of BK deal?

No. It is an SEVWA event.

Dave, I thought Siver Dollar was part of "the list" we talked about? I'll go anyway though... just so I can stop by the Summit store on the way down ;) .

Silver Dollar Showdown Mar 11.
There will also be a Silver Dollar event in Nov. Reynolds GA.
Summit is my Home away from Home. :laugh:

Sorry I missed the chat .... the list looks good.
I am looking forward to this season with the enhancements to the car and the events coming up it should be a good one.

Boy, I'll say. ;)

You've got me mail ordering. :cool:

:rolleyes:

Yes, that was the result of our vote. I'm not sure what you thought the reaction would be after what went down. But that is the way it is.

let it go LD. this is a freakin hobby. let's not make it something more.

sorry i missed the chat guys. i have just been head's down in crap for ages now and don't see it letting up. two careers and family was enough, but my daughter is starting a career now that is keeping me even busier.

i am good for most of those shows, maybe all. i still have quite a bit of work to do on the car before i will take it out for the season though. getting to some things i never got to, fixing things that need adjustment, and a few new tricks up the sleeve too.

for those in ATL, GT has a show March 31st on their campus that i hope to hit as well. the organizer was THRILLED when he saw a GL and told me he would love to have some at the show. details can be found at: www.GaTechAutoShow.com
