REGISTER NOW!!! - 2007 Reunion - Kentucky

[svobud]

We have about 2 months before THE SVO event of the year is here. REGISTER NOW (www.svoca.com/events/reunion07) < --- clicky-clicky.

Be sure to print out the registration form and send it in asap. This helps us divide classes if needed. Please make sure you get the correct year, mileage, and color listed. If you dont have a printer - write down all the listed info and send that in. See example listed below ...

No Member registrations will be excepted the day of the event. You must PRE-REGISTER. Your membership MUST be current the day of the event. If it expires between you sending in your registration, and the event. You will not be eligible for door prizes unitl your membership is current. Anyone walking up the day of the event will be required to pay an entry fee. Sorry. You must be registered to be eligible for door prizes.

If you dont have a room reserved at SVO Central ... HURRY - DONT DELAY. They will disappear before you know it.

Please make a note the pricing on the autox went up slightly - but only because the cost to us from the local SCCA group increased. You will STILL get more runs than you know what to do with. The limit is 25 participants. No more. I'll let Gator set up the North Vs. The 07 Winners from the South - but you must be an autox participant to be selected for that.

Tell a buddy. Bring a friend. BE THERE!

[NavySVO]

Bud, you have my PM

Got ya covered.

I had no luck getting through to the hotel at the 859-294-0169 number. I used 859-294-7375 instead and got through on the first try.

[SVOeric]

sorry guys, I had 2 phone numers on the paper in front of me, and the one that wound up on the website was a mixture of the 2. it's fixed now.

[Henson]

Disaster. Disaster. Disaster I say.

So I called to make the reservation and the lady had no idea what I was talking about when I stated I’m with the SVOCA club. She was insistent that I need to give her the name of the person that made the initial reservation. She would not give a room for the rate of $64.99.

Is there a block of rooms for us? She stated there was no block of rooms and there are only four reservations for those days.

What to do?

[SVOeric]

You might have got the night shift person.
I've got confirmation sheets for 35 rooms right here.

unfortunatly, I'm out running most of tomorrow, but I will call and check as soon as I can.

[Raven855]

Maybe You are on the OTHER list.....:spin:

[NavySVO]

Called this morning, and got a sweet southern drawl on the other end. She knew what the SVOCA is and politely booked me some floorspace within the confines of SVO Central. :thumb:

Wait...wait....you call the hotel or Liquor World ?

[Pat_in_L.A.]

you call the hotel or Liquor World ?

The quarter car wash.

[NavySVO]

The quarter car wash.
Nope, they take tokens now.........

[SVOeric]

speaking of which, there is a car wash, right behind the hotel.

[Raven855]

speaking of which, there is a car wash, right behind the hotel.

So is there a Cheer leader squad there to help wash the cars? Or is Fleming arranging that?

[roberto2000]

I just booked a room at the hotel
How do I get floorspace at the liquor world?? and would it be good to mention the SVOCA there?:eek: or will I get escorted out

[boostedbruiser]

No drag racing this year? Hmm ......... AutoX
Never tried AutoX, do i need anything special besides a helmet?
I'll defineitely be making a showing this year.

[roberto2000]

Will there be any Drag racing?

[boostedbruiser]

Will there be any Drag racing?


I don;t think so since its not on the registration form, Oh well. i guess i can try Auto cross, need some better tires. :D

I do need to know if i need anything special in order to run the AutoX

[Henson]

Ooo, Jessica sounds good on the phone. What's with that sweet southern drawl that I like. :spin:

[svobud]

I don;t think so since its not on the registration form, Oh well. i guess i can try Auto cross, need some better tires. :D

There's a drag strip nearby and I do believe normally Friday night is test/tune. I say nearby in Kentucky terms and you'll know what I mean after you make that drive. Just turn right into the trailer park - it's on the other side of it. But - as a club/group - no, we're not convoying over there this year.

I do need to know if i need anything special in order to run the AutoX

Not really anything special. Your car must past tech (nothing loose inside, battery held down, return spring on throttle, good pedal pressure on your brakes, no visual leaks, no loose/worn suspension, yada yada yada.) You must have insurance (that's for the entire event weekend). You must have working seatbelts, You must have an approved helmet. Nothing to it.

[boostedbruiser]

OK So who's gonna drag race with me???
Nothing against autoX but i'd like to have a little practice first before i make myself look like an idiot. Besides i'm sure their will be PLENTY of AutoXer's

Bud is it 1/4 or 1/8th?

Could i get some better directions? or an address. thanks

[svobud]

I'm sure if the Huber clan show up they'll be more than happy to help you out with some competition. The track is 1/4 mi and they allow full runs. Eric will have to help out with directions/address.

[MikeFleming]

... i'd like to have a little practice first before i make myself look like an idiot. Not to worry - even experienced drivers/racers can make themselves look like idiots. It's all part of the fun.

[Pat_in_L.A.]

I need a ride for the Auto-X. I am a trained professional! :D

[SVOeric]

this should answer all your drag needs.
http://www.mpdragway.com/

The reason we don't do the drags in KY, -- 3 years ago we were setup to go there.
We showed up, and
#1 We were supposed to get a discount coming in the gate.
#2 They had re-scheduled one of their rained-out bracket races for that day, which means we got almost no runs.
#3 it's a FUR way to get there, especially where we will be this year.

So we've setup the dyno day now on friday. That will have more details coming up soon too.

[MikeFleming]

So is there a Cheer leader squad there to help wash the cars? Or is Fleming arranging that? I usually specify BYOG - Bring Your Own Girl(s). But I'm sure between Hooters and Waffle House we can round up a reasonable assortment.

Iirc, we discussed bringing the Sunland Carwash Cheerleaders but we decided that the shipping costs would be prohibitive (unless everyone chipped in) so we may have to use local "talent". Didn't we discuss this in the Reunion 2007 thread?

[boostedbruiser]

Well it looks like i'll be out of luck since the test and tune is on the following friday and they have some kind of Mopar race event going on.
Though it would be fun to be up on some mopars with the 4 pot.

Ahh eitherway i'll be there and i might go ahead and plan on AutoXing.

[svobud]

I need a ride for the Auto-X. I am a trained professional! :D

I'll give you a ride TO the autox. I'm a paid professional. :D

[DRAGPAK]

I'll give you a ride TO the autox. I'm a paid professional. :D

[Pat_in_L.A.]

in the back seat with the handcuffs on:woot:

OOH, kinky!

[svobud]

Liquor Barn is convenitly located next to the Porsche dealership

[NavySVO]

How do I get floorspace at the liquor world??
Just mention Pat's name......

[svono50]

Well, got my room signed up! :woot: Now to mail in the registration and kick back or get working on my car.

[SVOeric]

no liquor world in lexington, but the liquor barn is pretty impressive.

[DAVEZ84SVO]

no liquor world in lexington, but the liquor barn is pretty impressive.

WOW:eek: A barn full of liquor!! Very impressive.. Do they sell "White Lightning" there??

Dave

[NavySVO]

Wasn't there a "Liquor King" by SVO Central in Richmond? And no, I don't mean Pat.

[Pat_in_L.A.]

Wasn't there a "Liquor King" by SVO Central in Richmond?
That was "Liquor World".

I believe their curb was 4 1/2 inches high, but that info is an answer to a question in another thread. Let's see if they find it.

[SVORob]

WOW:eek: A barn full of liquor!! Very impressive.. Do they sell "White Lightning" there??

Dave
How many gallons do you want??
I might be able to get ya some mason jars but I woul have to check
(mason jars are for the beginers):cheers:

[boostedbruiser]

Well gents i'm out this year. i thought i would be able to go, but things came up and well the SVO needs some more attention anyways. Maybe next year.

[SVOeric]

liquor barn is actually bigger than liquor world.

[Pat_in_L.A.]

liquor barn is actually bigger than liquor world.

:eek:

[schlot]

Ok....a non-alcohol related question...lol.

I was toying with the idea of making the trip out there with my 17 year old son. It would fun for us time for us to bond (lol), give me an excuse to work on my car and I was hoping he would be able to AutoX. Is that a possibility and how do I make it happen.

[svobud]

... making the trip out there with my 17 year old son. - I was hoping he would be able to AutoX. Is that a possibility and how do I make it happen.

Yeah, he can do it. You'll need to go to the SCCA site and print off one of their special waviers for Juveniles and you will have to be at the event to sign for him. Same stuff (valid license, insurance, safety equipt) still applies.

One of our autox entries is a juvenile as well.

[SvoTy]

JUST one??????

:)

Ty

[Horsewidower]

On the minor waiver, our region won't honor it unless both parents sign. :rolleyes: Of course in California, where you can probably get sued successfully if you look at someone cross eyed, I'm sure someone's ex got pissed off and sued. Maybe things are a little more sane in Kentucky.

H

[MikeFleming]

SCCA only says licensed drivers. So 16 in most states are permitted to compete - with the usual permission of parent/guardian.

[svobud]

JUST one??????

:)

Ty

I'm not counting their mental state of mind Ty ...

[Alex L]

Room reserved. Registration form and membership renewal filled out will be in the mail!

See ya'll there.

[edit] im blind.

[SVORob]

OK The cat is out of the bag!

I drove by SVOCA central and what do you know.

GGG's favorate place is within walking distance of SVOCA central,

no no not Liquor barn.

Any guesses??

Hint 1: I remember a certin picture with GGG's Pig on a trailer in front of the esablishment in question it was posted here somewhere?

Hint 2: H H

[onthegosvo]

The Huddle House?

[Gator]

Ha !!!

[SVORob]

I still love those wheels!

[RTStabler51]

going in the mail tomorrow! :woot:

[Gator]

I still love those wheels!

You might like the new ones even more...:)

[SVORob]

You might like the new ones even more...:)
What! how could you!

What ya going to do with the old ones??

[Mr. Pink]

Yeah.....I think those are pretty cool wheels....




I'm talking about the trailer's....not that red turd with the fast/furious stickers

[SvoTy]

Yeah.....I think those are pretty cool wheels....

Now that's funny! Let the smack talking roll!

Ty

[drquest]

Only 1 room left according to the front desk lady at Ramada.

[TheViking]

Wow, that was close. I just booked and yes, they are now full for that weekend.

[Raven855]

The schedule has cleared and the form is overnighted! I don't have a replacement head for the car, my calipers are lost in the mail, the trailer needs a new bed and I still need tires and wheels. Should be fun!

[SVOeric]

Your emvelopes must be POSTMARKED by tomorrow....

[NavySVO]

Well, I am actually going to make it.

The first snag would have been the $600.00 fuel pump repair to my Focus (1k miles out of warrantee) that actually turned out ot be a service bulletin on the fuel pump that cost me only for the tow :woot:
Of course the one dealer didn't even metion the service bulletin so they could suck the money from me. Bastages!!

I also just had to sink $610.00 into the pooch who might have cancer. All the money went to blood tests, sedation, X-rays, and a biopsy that we still don't have the results on. I can't see not spending the money on her, she is my "only child" so to speak.

So, I called SVO central today to confirm my room (I got paranoid after reading a couple posts), and the reservation was FUBAR. They had booked me for August 4-8 instead of October......I was wondering why my card got charged already.........the manager fixed it and I am set with some real estate at the Ramada for the weekend.

So who is coming in on Thursday? What time, etc?

Pat, where are you wrenching at? You said you had to get some cars going. PM me with some info (cell numbah, etc).

[MikeFleming]

Yep, sometime Thursday.

[SvoTy]

Kurt, I should be there around 5 or 6 PM.



Ty

[svono50]

Kurt, sorry to hear of your finacial and pooch woes, hope all goes well. I should be pulling into SVO Central around 7pm. Now I need to check my registration!!

[Pat_in_L.A.]

Kurt you have a PM waiting.

[Pat_in_L.A.]

The schedule has cleared and the form is overnighted! I don't have a replacement head for the car, my calipers are lost in the mail, the trailer needs a new bed and I still need tires and wheels. Should be fun!

Sounds like one really big tech session.
Load everything up and finish it there!

[NavySVO]

Yep, sometime Thursday.

So descriptive on the timeframe!

Kurt, I should be there around 5 or 6 PM.
Ty
Cool beans

Kurt, sorry to hear of your finacial and pooch woes, hope all goes well. I should be pulling into SVO Central around 7pm. Now I need to check my registration!!
It is what it is, thanks. See you then.

Does anyone need any parts that I might have? I know that is an open-ended question, as you don't know my inventory, but give a shout-out and I will see if I can help out.

[SVOeric]

I NEED headlight rubber!!!

[SVORob]

I NEED headlight rubber!!!
Uh!:doh: shouldn't this be in the parts wanted section?

[NavySVO]

I NEED headlight rubber!!!

EC, sorry, I don't have what you need. As I mentioned, I guess I shouldn't have put it out that i am offering parts when I haven't provided an inventory........gee, stupid on my part. Sorry buddy. :doh:

[Pat_in_L.A.]

EC, sorry, I don't have what you need. As I mentioned, I guess I shouldn't have put it out that i am offering parts when I haven't provided an inventory........gee, stupid on my part. Sorry buddy. :doh:

Oh , you meant car parts.

I was about to ask what blood type you are.

[MikeFleming]

So descriptive on the timeframe! Oh, bitch, bitch, bitch. And you wonder why we don't invite you to reunions more often??

Mid-aftn Thurs. is when my flight is scheduled to arrive.

[NavySVO]

I was about to ask what blood type you are.
B=..........please remember that....that info actually may come in handy for the medical staff.

[NavySVO]

Oh, bitch, bitch, bitch. And you wonder why we don't invite you to reunions more often??

[NavySVO]
