I'll be game if I'm back for it. I'm good with anything, driving, dyno, drinking. Anything.

i like the idea of getting a bite to eat, hitting up the dragstrip/road course @ MAM some pic then possibly a cruise. dyno day does sound fun but also sounds like alot of standing around. im more interested in meeting new people i guess, but am open to whatever

I think I have a few of the local SHO owners interested. As far as hitting up the dragstrip (if it's the 1/8th), I'd be better off watching as I just can't launch this car or keep the tires planted... :(

Ok...

Deff
Cruise to Council Bluffs
Eat Lunch or Dinner at Harrahs in Council Bluffs
Cruise and get some pics (Loess Hills?)

Maybe
Bowling
Mini-Golf
Dragstrip- MAM has nothing listed for that day, I don't think enough guys will want to race

Out
Dyno- Just to much standing around for a large group of people
Papio Fun Center- Not enough interest

We need to decide on whether we are going to stop and eat Lunch or Dinner! This way we can figure out where to meet up! Are Routes also need to include gas stations for the not so MPG friendly cars.

I'll be up for dinner. Also I'm going to have to get 110 race gas when I stop for gas.

I could tow my Civic there for the extra cylinders :)

My car can make plenty of noise.... That's not saying is sounds good though :):)

I have a video camera, however, I'd probably be joining you guys closer to Omaha since I live here.

Well I am not sure where the Loess Hills are although someone told me in the past. I am terrible at directions.


Here are some thoughts on a route though..

First we get lunch at Harrah's...

then go down the interstate and Dodge to take pictures at that bank (the Boys Town exit on Dodge) or at Zorinsky Lake or somewhere if the bank's too crowded...

then we can do whatever like bowling/golf/etc if we want..

then go downtown to the Old Market and to the Loess Hills from there for some fun. We can skip downtown if it's too far out of the way (I just added that into the route cuz it would be something else to look at other than just straight highway) and go straight to Loess Hills too...


So we can skip downtown.. skip bowling/golf/etc... or add other stuff in :beer:

It's just an outline to follow that I think would be a good time.

Are they any gas stations along this route that will sell 93, or near by. The car is a pig with 4.10's, but hopefully I'll have 3.55 or 3.73's by that time.

If not, probably going to have to bring a bottle or two of Torco or Lucas.

If my Mustang is running by the time the cruise rolls around, I may have the girlfriend drive the (cammed) GTO and I could break in the 'ol 5.4... :banana:

She would, of course be tastefully clad and made up for some photos. :beer:


I think she will end up with it anyway if we get married, she likes it more than me!

Hey Matt wuts up? You gonna have your Stang done in time for this cruise?


Afaik there's no longer 93 at the 2 stations that used to have 93 in Omaha. There's supposedly 110 at only one station in town. Bring the Torco or Lucas there are BPs with 92 everywhere.

Ryan, Maybe you could buy a little Torco from David. He has quite a bit setting in his garage!

My headliner's back in the car :banana: It's my visor that needs redone but with the weather today I'd be willing to bet he'll have that done soon :beer: My car will be ready

I'll sell some to any one local for $10 a can, as long as they give me the can back. I will say if you can find lucas it probably would be cheaper. lucas 2 octane per can on full tank, torco is 3 octane per can on full tank. If any mods read this I am not a vendor, and I would still be taking a loss on $10 a can.
