SE 6.0 August 10th thro 12th

[linuxman51]

Yessir The date is in the books. The Hotel is in the works, and the planning committee has been convened.

The place:
Montgomery, Al.

The Hotel:
TBD

Tentative schedule of events:

Friday Morning/Early afternoon:
Arrival, check in, prep for dragstrip.
5pm Depart for track, stopping for fuel/money/etc (target arrival time at track 5:45ish)
Track is $15 to race (****ers). Race gas is around $7/gal for 110 or 112 I forget.

Unless we get rained out again (damnit!) we will be at the track until 10pm
From there the normal routine is either fast food (my vote) or find a place that'll let 1000 greasy smelly tbrickers unite and tear walls down. I still vote for fast food and hit the pool at the hotel.

Saturday Morning/Early afternoon:
Dyno day. This was a bit of a mess last year, look for something a bit more organized this year. TBD. Cost to dyno is going to be at least $50, so if you want to find out the cold hard truth, bring yo cash sucka.

Saturday late afternoon/early evening:
Raid the hotel's pool. Maybe sneak in a grille or two, relax, beat the **** out of each other, and generally rest up for the party that gets us thrown out of the hotel later that night.

Saturday night/Sunday early AM:
Time for the mind eraser. The internationally famous SE party. You all have seen the videos, you know what its going to be like, fin.

Sunday morning:
HAH!

Sunday Noon:
Wake up, stagger in somewhere for breakfast

Sunday around 3pm to midnight:
Those that are departing will depart, the rest will float, recover from the party. (depending on whether or not we're going to rent the grand prix track)


**Monday AM:
get up at the ass crack of dawn, head to talladega grand prix, wear the cars out all day, depart from there.



/End SE 6.0

Things you should bring:
If theres a strong chance something on your car will break, BRING A SPARE (be it engine, turbo,transmission,chassis,ecu,etc)
For the LH crowd, I would strongly suggest bringing a spare AMM and o2 sensor, plugs (just in case)
For the MS crowd, I would strongly suggest bringing a power inverter, a set of plugs and whatever else has been a problem (Mike: bring fuses or aluminum bar stock)
For all: Fuel pressure regulator, rear subframe, whatever series transmission came in your car, spare differential, set of rod bearings.

Bring the usual road trip toiletries (tooth brush & paste, deoderant is a MUST *cough*cullen*cough*, razor if the need strikes you, soap, wash cloth, etc)

Bring enough cloths for a week, and a change or two of "car mechanikin' " cloths. You'll invariably need them.

Pillow/sleeping bag/etc is optional, if you're a homophobe I would strongly suggest the sleeping bag (or just getting a room with 1 other person. We can accomodate, but I will need a SERIOUS headcount ASAP. Expect some sort of deposit for the room).

MONEY. You dont have to spend a lot to have a good time, but don't get stuck with too little. its a long walk home.

Anything else you deem needed. Others can chime in with their favorites.

Rules of thumb:
If you're not absolutely sure your car will make it, you should probably leave it and catch a ride. If You think your car stands a better than average chance of catastrophic failure, again, don't bring it. We encourage everyone to bring their stuff and see how it stacks up, but if you're 600 miles from home and your car blows a rod out the side, you're ****ed.
Small disasters can be handled , but this is less than ideal and We would like to avoid this if possible. Hitch a ride if you're not confident in yours, you'll still have a blast.

Don't assume anything, if you're unclear about something, ask ahead of time.
If you're planning on getting your car tuned on the dyno, bring the stuff required to tune it. If it's MS'd, bring your laptop, I don't have the time or inclination to track down 40 different versions of ms&s-e on my laptop to make sure your stuff is on top of its game. (See stuff to bring).

If possible, travel with at least one other person. Reasons should be obvious, but if not: If one breaks down you've got an extra set of hands, a ride to the parts store, and someone to be calling and notifying while the other looks into the problem.

So. With all this said, whose in?

[linuxman51]

Hotel info is as follows (will also update first post):

Lexington Hotel Montgomery
1185 Eastern BLVD
Montgomery, AL 36117
334-272-0370

We have 10 rooms reserved, 2 beds ea. Its a big hotel, co-ordinate with your roomies (whom ya probably shoulda already picked out by now).
Sign in is thursday, sign out is sunday, and they said they have no problems with people wanting to stay through sunday and leave monday.


Peeps Coming so far (* indicates people that came last year and will almost certainly make it again this year):
()'s and a number are people in a given room. (you know, if your name is in () and the number 5 is in front, everyone else with 5 is in that room with you. This is not assigned rooming except where specifically requested, so if its you and three other people you don't know, thats just me keeping track of total rooms)

If you are NOT ON THE LIST PM ME! I'm using this as a firm head count, maybe's are of course welcome, but fall under the category of "maybe chillin at the hotel, maybe next door", so LET ME KNOW! :)

DYNO DAY



Below will appear those in for the track day if sam can get it iced down.
TRACK DAY

[thelostartof]

I am in, i will make plans to order my plane ticket .. tho where should i fly into and what dates are best for me to arrive and then leave(will i need to get a rental car or would someone be nice enough to drive my lazy/cheap ass around)

i'd bring my car but i do not think i can find a spare $1500 in gas $ along w/ the spare subframe/diff/trans and short block i might need to bring even tho i do have ALL OF those in the garage now)

and being the nut job i am i will be sure to bring a few spare parts i have around here for those maybe needing them

[Brickster151]

I still don't have anyone riding w/me Mike, that offer is always open.

[thelostartof]

do not think i can afford to take that much time off work to drive there and back

which car is making the drive?

[Brickster151]

I might have something different by than [850], or I might be borrowing something diesel from a friend that can tow [not hard to guess what will be towed].

I hear ya on taking time off. I'm not gonna stop in places for a few days [Dallas, Phoenix] like I did last year.

[stylngle2003]

we are go for launch

Mike, you could fly into practically any city in the Southeast US and somebody could give you a ride. There are 3 airports in the DC area, and you could ride down with our caravan for sure. Plenty of cars and people from DC headed down.

Just find the cheapest flight and arrange for somebody to pick ya up!

Oh yeah, btw, this means I'm in. Got time off work today :)

Dunno if I'll bring the car or not, haven't decided.

[740ATL]

+1 fly into Atlanta and we'd be happy to pick you up. It's about a 2 hour drive from ATL to the Gump.

Rob! you're not bringing the 242? Your car isn't going to get to meet it's ugly cousin.... :(

[schaff70]

Bring a camera + video camera(s) with tapes.
If you film, please let me borrow the tapes long enough to capture the video. I will mail them back to you within 2-3 weeks following the meet.

A small cooler might be a good idea also, Bama in July/August is pretty damn hot.
-sunscreen
2-way radios might help on the drive down if you're in a caravan

I'll be there for sure. I might even have my wagon back together in time to drive it down, though you won't recognize it this year.

[boosted]

we're in.. hooo hah!

[BtownVolvo]

Think you can handle another X70 series?

[buzz]

I will need a SERIOUS headcount ASAP.

Count my head. Seriously.

I looked at the airline flight schedule revisions about a month ago, so going from memory... Northwest(airlink) should have a noonish departure PHX/MGM via MEM.
America West has PHX/MGM flights but probably via LAS & CLT of all places. Montgomery is one of those places you just can't get to directly.

[thelostartof]

from what i saw it was $320 round trip from phx to Montgomery and both were non stop

[Chris_R]

Hot damn - I'm in!

Mike (and anyone else that wants to fly in), we can get you from the ATL to the Gump and back no probs. I have to say though that I'll probably be cutting out on Sunday.

[Nick]

I'm in.

And I'm trying to peer pressure other FL brickers to go as well.

[MrBill]

Is there a set RSVP date? Like I wont know whats up with my car till early summer, if it would be worth bringing down and such.
I mean I havent gotten a chance to even drive it since the motor was rebuilt.

[buzz]

from what i saw it was $320 round trip from phx to Montgomery and both were non stop

All the better if a direct flight. The airlines are allowed to change/add/modify their routes once every 56 days, so roughly every 2 months I get a summary of all the changes that I look at for 2.59673 seconds and toss. I only care about Midwest Airlines a$ I have a very ve$ted intere$t.

[tequila_gundam_no_chaser]

do the heizman on that hoe. i'm in dammit

[Lord Tentacle]

I am in, i will make plans to order my plane ticket .. tho where should i fly into and what dates are best for me to arrive and then leave(will i need to get a rental car or would someone be nice enough to drive my lazy/cheap ass around)


pheonix-> chicago is $170-200 round trip
there are 3 of us heading from WI down, it would be easy to bring you with us
there is going to be atleast

Me, buzz, smith_t240 driving our own cars

and we are not sure yet but we think that 2fast242, brickhead, and speedin_j will probobly be riding along, so there is still plenty of room

**** the more people the better cause i like having backup drivers

p.s. this means i'm in for sure

[buzz]

Backup drivers is good at 16-18 hours nonstop.

[Aoder1]

idk yet but i wqill start planning

NC Cr3w representing?

[EricF]

I'll be there. Hoping to trailer the 242 because I know it will do something to make me look silly..

[linuxman51]

bump for second post update. if you're coming and havent posted up, post up or pm me. Don't PM sam, don't talk about it in another thread or with your hommies on the phone, let me know

A simple "hey asshole i'm in for se 6" will work.

[740ATL]

I do believe I am in.... and why are so many people up this early in the morning?

I blame my very good pizza (or maybe that's bad...)

[linuxman51]

TV, beer, internets.

[J_Jones]

unfortunately I am up going to work... Hey asshole, I'm in!:-P Anyone else from TN coming, we could play follow the leader

[242GTMD]

Hey asshole, I'm in for SE6. :-P

[linuxman51]

Hey asshole, I'm in for SE6. :-P

don't worry you're on the list ;)

[Sp3aK]

Hey f*ka$$, give me a beer! i mean.. I'm in.

And what's this NC Crew Represent stuff? The only people from NC there last year was me, jason (oo4play), and eamon (hockey930)... At least that I remember. I'm gonna be going one vehicle or another. Depending on whats around at the time I might do the "get-a-ride" thing again.

Todd: I'm extremely interested in caravan'ing or riding with you and I'd really love to help video this year.

Anyway whatever job I'm at I will get the time off.. whether I tell them it's a family reunion or I have to wash my hair, whatever.

[RvolvoR]

[Boosted S60R]

I will be there again this year hopefully with the finished S60R, if not I will be in my 850T5-R.

[IceCold4x4]

I'll be there for sure this year, either in the volvo or at least the IS if the Volvo breaks around that time. . .

[ikyikthe1st]

I'm in for sure, possibly my dad, brother, and another friend.

[foggyjames]

A simple "hey asshole i'm in for se 6" will work.
Hey asshole, I'll try to be at SE7...:rofl:

cheers

James

[Boosted S60R]

my buddy mike also that came with me last year with the green 940 turbo will be there also.

[schaff70]

Hey asshole, I'll try to be at SE7...:rofl:

cheers

James
If you can get a flight to DC (any of the 3 airports - Reagan, BWI or Dulles) we can get you to SE this year.

[240Psycho]

Kenny, no matter what, Ill be there, and in the suicidal demon 244.
But no it wont be falling apart, might do Erics plan


~Kyle

[kyote]

Is there room for a crazy texan?

[EricF]

I was counting on the 244 to tow the GT :rofl:

Actually we'll see whether or not the 242 even makes it. That might be a good thing.. Wrap your minds around that one.

[IceCold4x4]

ok so the tranny's fixed now i just have to baby her till august. . . oh well plenty of time to get to the magic 300 RWHP number.

[Plutonium]

Myself and brother (TFT) should be there.

[badvlvo]

I'm in. The Volvo won't be making the trip, it's STILL in Reno, but I will have the truck.

If anyone wants, I can bring the car trailer to store everyones gear in while on the track so it is secure (if that is an issue there) or to haul a car around that is not street legal. It's big enough for a few poor SOB's to sleep in too if needed.

wonder what gas would cost for me to pay you to drive it here pick up my car and drive back to SE in the trailer .. tho if my car makes it through the weekend i'd be up to drive it back

[Crazychopstick]

Do I need to bring a Volvo?

[MikeJr.]

Things you should bring:

Bringing your trailer might be a good idea if I'm in my 940 :-P

I know I've been unreliable before but I'll be making it this year. Since I'm way up here in north Louisiana, I probably won't caravan with anybody though.

Kenny put me and badvlvo on the list!

haha thats crazzy.....its to far off to see if i can come or not.....this is appealing

[kahlua240]

thats right at MCAT taking time. i should be able to make this trip though, seeing as i'll already be in birmingham it'l be a short drive. YAY

[ikyikthe1st]

Yall got Bank Of America in Alabama? I know there's like 3 states that don't...

[Chris_R]

Nope - Alabama, Mississippi and Louisiana.

Way more than it's worth to go both ways in the trailer, but we can get it back or get it somewhere to fix it if it blows.

[SwedishFish]

I was thinking I might want to have my 740's AW71 in your trailer...just in case

[linuxman51]

will probably have a spare aw71 here, since my roommate's 940 dun burned down before we installed it.

[IceCold4x4]

^ that seals the deal i'm Down regardless now. gotta start beefing the rear suspension up to hold with the new tires when i find rims.

[Turbo3er]

No longer have a volvo, as I sold it to linuxman51s roommate and as he mentioned it burned to the ground mostly. However i will be in attendence again this yea, just sporting one of the bmws like i did at se4.

[240T man]

I'm gonna be there.

Unfortunately, unless some small miracle happens, it'll be in teh blaze.

[growley]

I really want to go....

[badvlvo]

I was thinking I might want to have my 740's AW71 in your trailer...just in case

That could be done, or I can just throw it in the back of the truck if I go w/o trailer. Whatever we need can be carried.

I really want to go....

Ok, you have permission to go. I talked it over with your mom.

[sethfc]

i'm thinking of driving to SE if things go well w/ kenny up here...

[RvolvoR]

I have to talk to 2 or 3 of my friends, but they could possibly be in too

[stylngle2003]

we also need to get on reserving TGP, methinks. i def. am down for another full track day!

I won't be on there for the hotel room but i'll be down for the events. Just get MMP to stay open later than 11:30 freaking 50 bucks in gas wasted driving down there the other night. Really I mean Steele is open untill 2 am friday nights and MMP shut's down at 11:30? oh well guess that leaves plenty of time for drinking after the drag strip. . . .

[coondog240]

I'll be there, so will my brother, we should have something impressive for the dyno.

Y'all should come up here tommorow gonna run at steele and make my crack at the 12's. . . .

[EricF]

I'll be there, so will my brother, we should have something impressive for the dyno.

I'm holding out for two impressive dyno runs from your camp :-P

This weekend we'll see if I will have an "impressive" dyno run in the works or just the GT's antics.

[Crazychopstick]

I'm pretty sure I'll be going to this one.

It always looks like fun even though I have nothing to race.

Might be in white 244 or a black Scion. :grrr:

[coondog240]

coondog? Are you black?

I don't think so, do you know something I don't?

[mikep]

He must be thinking of the archaic derogatory term.

I had a half coon hound, half doberman once. And I had a black co-worker who hunted raccoons. Life's a party here.

isn't that like... coon on coon agression? (shaddap mark)

[amargill19?]

Yah, I was thinkin Coon like the racist coon. Not Racoon coon.

Didn't know that was a type of dog.... So I was wondering why the hell you'd call yourself a coondog if you weren't black. Not that a black person would want to call themselves a coon dog.

I had racoons in my backyard trying to eat my pond fish, so one night I camped out on my roof with my pellet gun and wounded some bastid coons (not African American people). Haven't had coon trouble since... but those damn herron I tell ya wuat meow.

ahhhh nvm. Back to SE 6.0 It's going to be a riot!!!!!11 Oh wait, I'm on the opposite side of the continent...

[adrian @ work]

$380 round trip from SEA!
ch33per than gas y0!

how devilly tempting.

[amargill19?]

and it is taking place in Mullabama.

Could prolly scope some phatty mullets out there and git ye old mullet hunter camera out.

[IceCold4x4]

[linuxman51]

Head count is updated, reserving a hotel early next week. Who wants to share a room with just one other person? (understanding that the bill goes up accordingly).
So far speak has indicated such, who will be in with him.

[MikeJr.]

My Dad and I will prolly share a room.

[IceCold4x4]

have you looked at their website lately? ok maybe someone pulled an april fools on me but i swear to god it said someone rented their track for industrial uses and it would be closed untill april of 08. . .

must have been. website seems to be up to date. be pretty bad to spend a bunch of money re-paving the front part of the track only to close it for a year ;)

[IceCold4x4]

ya i think i might try to slide down there tommorow night if i get off soon enough. wish ben's car was running so if i drop a rod i could get a ride back. i'm just ready to knock some more time off the 1/4

Hey ASSHOLE!

I said I'm IN!

just another "friendly" reminder. hahahah

[Crazychopstick]

Add another one for me, I'll have a friend coming along.

BTW, has the SEs always been at hotels? How much would the room be w/ and w/o the bulk discount?

[Biesey]

I am planning to make it to this event with the 1800 (Making SE6.0 its debut)... if that fails I'll have to bring the 242.

[badvlvo]

How are we doing on the hotel plan?

[linuxman51]

cool, thats over the requisite #. I'll call the cheap(er) hotels and get the ball rolling.
Stay tuned for financial info (i.e. deposits, etc), and start figuring out who wants to room with who.

[badvlvo]

Waiting patiently.

As long as it's not a drunken sailor and I have my own bunk, i'm ok with that.

:grrr: The man is trying to keep me down. I'm working on getting my leave for the summer, but the dark side is using the force against me. I will continue to fight the powers that be, but I might be arriving slightly late & by air.

I may be down, but I'm not out yet. I'll fight to the end on this one, even burn a few bridges on the way out.

I'll keep you guys posted.

Its more fun to burn the bridges on the way in. Forces one to stay a little longer.

Evan (swedishfish) and I will be there from Louisiana. mabye Garrett (imhooked). I don't know who else from here will be on the trip.

Brickster151 (Pat) will be rolling from Cali! with friend(s). We will try to meet up with him on the way to Al.

The verdict is in & it looks like there's no way I'm going to make it this year. They threw a wrench into the ship's schedule & I'll most likely be out to sea (again :raincloud: ).

Brickster151 is driving out. Talk to Pat, he might want a passenger.
He's the only one from Cali driving out that I know of.

I curently have the option of buying a nice holstein (cow)
for the entire cow to be cut/wrapped/portioned is $2 LB
and figgure 600lbs total of meet
of that 150lbs of steaks
300lb of burger meat
100lb of hot dogs/brautworst
and 50lb of misc meat you dont want to know about

assuming i was to bring half of this to SE6
would people be willing to donate some cash (totaling $600)
to have all you can eat beef for most of the entire event?
I was figuring 300lb of cookable meat would cover most of friday & saturday for BBQ ing

the cow was raised localy to me and is named Samual :lol:

Thoughts?

Youre talking about bringing a cow to a car meet.

Where else but TB....:rofl:

no no no, chicken is the prefered food of the SE meet.

and the best fried chicken is eaten fresh out da south.

SAM And KENNY, I love zaxbys for wings and sweet tea goodness but if you can find us a hardcore fried chicken joint that has normal fried chicken it would be fun to roll deep to it.

the rougher the neighborhood the better the chicken will taste!

Well boys, lets just say that I'm a cookin' a somethin up for SE 6.0. Something that will have definate parts breaking power, 'cuz all the tranny I can afford is an M46 :(. So much parts breaking power that I will be tow bar-ing the thing from H-town to B-ham for I fear that either the dyno or my inevitable spirited driving may find a weak link in my drivetrain. So as long as it still rolls I will be fine for the drive home :).

-How much is dyno time/dyno tuning time?
-Any news on the lodging?

+1 on the hotel details. I know Kenny and Sam have been rather occupied with new jobs, houses, marriages, etc....

dyno tuning in the past has been $50. You will not find a better deal, or more expert operators anywhere.

Bring a spare transmission :nod:

[RoadRacer4Life]

umm yea we will still do the dyno day as usual but we are only going to do it on Saturday cause i was just waisted after sundays dyno stuff.. as far as lodging i think kenny has most of that stuff locked down but I will ask him.. The paperwork for the track day is taken care of and it should all come together fine.. I am sure it will be a diffrent event this year but still a great one as usual..

740's not gonna make it....summer class FTL

[mikep]

I just got my jury duty crap in the mail. July 2nd (my birthday) to Aug. 31 (I go back to school/work in mid-August). I really hate this. I just went to court as a not-needed witness in a theft case, I go back for the other defendant on June 27th.
Not to mention I had signed up for a day class in the summer, so I will have to cancel that, too.

So I will see how this plays out. I might show up, or I might be sitting in a courtroom.

[buzz]

Can't you just write a letter to the court stating you'll be out of the area from_ to _? Here anyway, they'll just reschedule you for the next jury duty cycle. They can't expect you to live your life around their schedule.

[mikep]

If I do that I will have to serve during the school year, which means writing substitute lesson plans for 2 months, grading all that work, etc. plus the kids get way less shop time.

Tiebird, how would you keep Samuel the Holstein (RIP) refrigerated for the trip down? Better trailer him down alive and find a local packing house to, er, render him into patties, etc.

[linuxman51]

Ok, it seems like the original venue is about to fall through. I've tried calling up there several times and don't get an answer, so I'm back on the hunt.

I found another place nearby that has agreed to $70night/room. The block I'm going to schedule is going to be friday and saturday nights. Its a large hotel and I have little doubt that those who would come early would have no difficulty getting in earlier that week.
Perks: Indoor pool and hottub, attached/adjacent Waffle house.
For those who are coming in friday, with 4 people to a room its going to be in the neighborhood of $35 for your weekend stay. For those who come earlier, well, its all dependent on when you show up and where you crash.
But like I said, i'm going to look around a little longer for a couple of days, then go with the best of the remainder and post info.

[Lord Tentacle]

Tiebird, how would you keep Samuel the Holstein (RIP) refrigerated for the trip down? Better trailer him down alive and find a local packing house to, er, render him into patties, etc.

Trailer + 27CF Chest freezer + 200amp alternator + 2000W inverter
The chest freezer only draws 450W when its running so it wont be putting that much load onto the inverter. Also have a 4.5Kw gas generator + 22 gallon 5hp air compressor that are comming with me.

I'm putting casters onto it and tie down hooks to make moving it around super easy. So when I showed up all that would be needed is to roll it off the trailer and find an outlet in the hotel.

[linuxman51]

Ok, got it down to $60 night/room, with check in on thursday, check out sunday. Anyone needing extra time should take that up with the people at the hotel, since thats not likely to be a large number of you.
This means for each room if you stuff 4 people in there your cost on the weekend for housing (and probably some form of free breffast) is $45.
From hence forth you have 24 hours to yay/nay and hemhaw, then I'm going to ice the deal with the hotel and post contact info.

Group may book under the block anytime before check-in. The group is not responsible to pay for unused rooms in the block. Group members may cancel reservations at any time before check-in. No deposit required.

It will be up to you guys to make room mate arrangements.
Its a three star hotel. older model, but its not bad.

I've found over the years that motels will generally give a group rate for a day before & after the actual group stays. If they initially don't want to, mention then that maybe you'll stay at a competitor's establishment instead. They'll come around.

I don't know if the Wisconsinites are rooming together or what, but for all I care, if I'm paying for a room and any of the guys camping need a shower, go for it.

We went to the track day on Monday and then left, and then drove all the way home, that was a terrible trip. I want to take it easy on the way down at back.

Anyway I'm assuming we will be leaving from my house (it's right next to I-85) sometime in the morning area (7-8am?). It's undecided right now if he is going to have his wagon there, he's trying to get megasquirt done in the mean time, and I will be driving the stock'ish 245 with cruise control and AC this year :) And no accidents...

I'm right near I-85 too, but down in Spartanburg. I wasn't planning to leave until early Friday afternoon, however.

Must be nice. I can't clear 5 minutes to take a **** right now.

But I will be there. I am quitting the job to move back to Ca anyway, so I'll just have my last day be the one before the meet.

So do we need to call ahead and reserve a room for ourselves specifically? Or is it just first come first serve?
