Your Thoughts - Informal Saturday Meets
All,
We are looking to get everyones thoughts on organizing informal Saturday morning get togethers at our facility on Saturday mornings starting in May. So I figured the best approach would be to throw the idea out and let you all tell us what you would like, when, etc.
Basic idea would be to have a gathering at 10am or so. Then an organized drive of some type (some roads around are pretty nice) and then a lunch. Or perhaps start it off with coffee/donuts and then the drive.
If it picks up momentum we could probably start a tutorial series or something of that nature as well.
How about a Backdraft engine install build school? We could do that over a couple weekends in April as well?
Let's hear what the group thinks.

Sounds good to me, I'll bring the donuts! Can I bring my SPF?

Even though it snowed today we should still be thinking about this.

Joe,
You have something to drive now. We need to get some legs to this idea to make it worthwhile.

Count me in.
I think it would be great to gather at Vintage and then go for a drive.

NE Gathering at Vintage
Does this gathering include non-BDR cars? Second where is Middletown CT in relation to Hartford? I would like to hit a few meetings this summer.

We are 15 minutes from Hartford on I91 (exit 21). It could be anyone with anything (Ford powered  ). If we can make it a reality perhaps the last weekend in May to kick it off? |

If weather looks good we may try to get a car up there for this. Would be fun to run it on the track too. Any others hitting this one?

We had a very small group show up yesterday (1 Cobra and several interested parties) and it reminded me that I need to offer this up again since I believe it would be worthwhile to get things of this nature rolling.
Of course when the rain hit it was nice to only have 1 Cobra (a Venom 427 in the flesh mind you) since we gave him an enclosed ride home.
I think what I will do is get a grill, stock up on some burgers and dogs and just tell everyone to swing by after 10am ... you can organize a cruise and then come back and we will have the food ready? We will be there anyway.
First event could be "I Couldn't Make it to London" - June 24th, 2006

Yeah, I'm open to whatever with this. It just seems like it needs a spark to get things going in the area. I drive around and spot a Cobra here and there, rarely a strong group.
Anyone driving to Heavenly Donuts tonight? Maybe I can swing over and get some ideas and interest.
Seems like I get to talk to everyone one on one at different times and you all want to get things together, I'm happy to get it started if we can.
