If you're boss would give me a 408 Windsor long block for free then we could possibly do it in Indianapolis.....hmmmm?

5 PAGES!!! :eek: WOW!!! I think this is the longest thread I've ever seen on MW.com!

Nice job guys!

Need more input though! I know there's more members hiding out there!

It makes the most sense to hold the event near Des Moines, IA, or Oklahoma City. The reason being is the crossing of major interstates. I35 and I80/I40. I80 travels east to the coast, and I40 west. Kansas is very much nothing but grassland. I should know.. I've been through there several times. Des Moines and Oklahoma City are about 400 miles apart I believe, which adds time to the other side. It's quite difficult to drive that kind of distance under any time bind. I made it from Minneapolis to Phoenix in 26hrs with 2 - 1 hour naps, but I'm not normal, LOL!

Just thought I'd try!!!!! :D
 
How bout Baytown, at Houston Raceway Park???? hhehehehehehe.........Cant blame me for tying can you???? :D :p

Hey Unit....haven't seen you around much....how's it going?

That's a good point. I did think of Iowa at first too, but I think it's a little too far east for our westerners on the board. But they could take I80 the WHOLE way....they could pick me up on the way too....I live in Sidney, NE....it's right on I80 in the Nebraska panhandle.....everyone could stop and shop at Cabela's while they were here too!

Oklahoma City is still the best place in my opinion. But the point about being on I80 is a good one, Des Moines is a close #2. Des Moines is even a little closer to me I think. Maybe not.

Thanks for the input Unit.

Woh this is a really long thread.

Here is an idea. Have it in Canada. lol ohh man I kill myself. I don't think half of you Americans locate us on the map. lol I'm not making fun of you just sadly to say there are alot of Americans that don't know where Canada is. lol Gotta love those southern folks. =)

I40 starts in Wilmington, NC and ends in Barstow, Cali. There is a sign that says 2655 miles(something like that) to Barstow Cali. on the outskirts of town.

I really like the idea of meeting up at WFC though, that sounds like a winner to me.. or maybe one of the FFWs.

The corral has a good turn out every year but they have alot more 'active' members. The turn out for mustangworks might not be as great as you guys think. I really don't think there would be enough active members here to do 3 or even 2 meets. If it were say... Maple Grove(daddy of all events) then... I think you would see a bigger turn out.

All mustangworks members getting rooms at the same motel(at a big event).. that would be a great idea, but everyone would have to book early..

I think they should have cyberbrawl again or maybe we should start it... THAT would KICK ICE!!

I will be at Bradenton, Fla for spring break(will every year:)). I have the whole month of July off, you guys name the place and I'll do my best to be there..

No, I am pretty sure the longest thread was the one I started, remember 13.7, blah,blah.... anyway it got up to like 160+replys before it was deleted.:eek:

Hey 6T9 Pony did you ever get a hold of Dan. I think we should form a committe on the matter. All the Modorators and 6T9 Pony(since he came up with the idea) could be on the commitee, which would be headed by Dan. They could meet in that little "secret":D modorator room that no ones allowed into. They could decide where to hold it, when it will be, and other details.

1969Mach1 12-26-2001 11:19 PM

We should all have a serious thread on where the best place for it to be located, such as get everyone’s location that is attending and figure out where the most members are coming from and go from there. And then it'd take alot of planning, such as a location, accommodation, and sponsors if you can get them. Lots of stuff.

But it'd be pretty damn cool to meet all you guys and girls.

I did write a long email to Dan on Christmas day. I haven't heard back from him yet, but that's expected, since it was Christmas and all.

I don't think I ever saw that thread 1BAD89, when did you post it?

That's a good point by rbatson, there aren't all that many active members here, so to have separate meets just wouldn't be near as cool!

tireburner163, I like your idea about forming a committee, and having ME as a member. Mainly because then I could go into their little room and see what the heck that talk about!!!:D

We'll see what Dan says when he checks his email and writes me back!

It's been about 4 months ago.

ed1371 12-27-2001 12:48 AM

I will trailer my vert to where-ever is decided the meet will be as long as we have a track to go to. I hope it goes better than the "meets" we have tried in the past over here on the left coast...(everyone says they are "in" but on game day, is nowhere to be found)

Regional idea is ok, but if a national meet is whats going to happen, middle of the country is good with me.

6T9PONY 12-27-2001 12:56 AM

I hear ya Ed. I definitely don't want this to be a "Sure, ok." kind of thing and then not show up. I want people to show up with some FIRE!! Get some grudge races going on! Have some fun, with EVERYONE!!! Not like 10 people. That'd piss me off.

Anyone have opinions on the Des Moines/Oklahoma City idea?

1BAD89 12-27-2001 01:00 AM

Oklahoma City! We gotta start talking a date, because I want to get everything worked out if you know what I mean,;)

Unit 5302 12-27-2001 01:05 AM

Hosting in OKC makes it a very long drive for those people in say... NY/NJ. I hate NJ. (If you know me, then you know plenty of reasons why I hate that state, lol)

I think a regional meeting would be by far the best. OKC, since so many of our members are in Texas. A California meeting, and probably something in say... North Carolina? People would have a legitimate ability to attend two. The central meet could bring people from the West, East, and Central... but, this needs to be a bit more organized. ;)

6T9PONY 12-27-2001 01:05 AM

Ok. Let's agree on a month. I say all of June and July. And maybe first week or two of August. May is too early for us youngins, we still have SCHOOL!

I think mid to late June would generally work good for about everyone. June 14-16 (Friday-Sunday), 21-23, and 28-30.

What do you all think?

6T9PONY 12-27-2001 01:06 AM

We're working on it Unit.....we haven't even gotten Dan involved yet!
