Saturday May 2 DCC meet

Joe Wicked · #1 (**permalink**) 04-22-2009, 03:03 PM

OK, I know it is almost sacralige to post about the DCC meeting a 1 1/2 weeks before the time, but May 2nd is the day after my B-Day, I may be picking Derrick up again, and it is AER Spring Nationals. A lot going on, and I am just wondering what the schedule is for DCC. I missed out on every AER event so far, so I am trying to match up my schedule.

Meet at AER around 8:30am, park under the canopy on the north side, walk down to the IHOP on Beltline, pig out on cakes, sausage, eggs, etc., waddle back to AER, enjoy the show, take lots of pictures, check out the money and honey, collect the trophy/prize, and head for home around 4:00pm.

Well, I guess it depends on whether or not Derrick will be coming down that weekend. If so I will be on the way back at 8:30. It is his last weekend in Texas before going to Tindal AFB in Florida, so that will take priority for me.

Larry, perhaps you can clarify that one for those not as familiar with "the honey" ?

LREYBURN · #6 (**permalink**) 04-26-2009, 10:10 PM

Miles, YOU ARE EITHER SICK OR IN NEED OF SOME SERIOUS HONEY. Look at Jay's signature line for a true definition of "Honey"...it has to do with some form of lactation.

See ya next week at IHOP Addison. You need a "Rooty-Tooty Fresh and Fruity" NOW!

LuvDaBlues · #7 (**permalink**) 04-27-2009, 10:20 AM

Geeze, do I have to spell it out for everyone. Larry, are you showing off your "one pack" here? You must have called these girls before the show to color coordinate.

New numbers applied, new radiator hose, and cleaned up. I'm towing the Mustang this weekend.

Since we didn't do it with the midgets (OK, "little people"), I'm going to see how many Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders we can stuff into #10 (the new number).

BTW, CVAR runs next month at ECR. May 15th thru 17th. I ain't running, but I'll be there.

maybe i'll show up for breakfast and hang for a bit. not sure.
i forgot it was AER. can't believe it's already time for that!

A lot going on for sure!

Well as of right now I am out once again

I will be picking Derrick up for his last weekend in Texas before going to Panama City FL. Poor him I know. But it is the last weekend his mama will get to spend with him, so I gotta keep mama happy if I want to get my Cobra someday.

I missed last months get together. (motorcycle ride to Nacitoches Louisiana)
I`ll miss May`s get together. (motorcycle ride to Eureka Springs Arkansas)
I`ll make June`s get together though!

August still looks like a good date to "pull the trigger" on a B&B.

Just a suggestion, but you could pull it twice and get me one too. I would not complain much.

Well, it looks like mother nature had other plans for Arkansas. (rain)
I doubt I`ll make breakfast, but I`ll be a the show Saturday.

How's the weather looking for tomorrows events? I am out of town but should be back tonight. I have been looking forward to the show all week, but the weather.com reports don't look to great.

PARKERPOWER · #14 (**permalink**) 05-01-2009, 01:37 PM

According to the AER website they had a meeting on the weather and decided to go ahead with the show. I repeat the show is a go. See you there.

Just heard that yesterday (May 2nd) had the most rain for that date,2.45",since they started keeping records here in the late 1800's.

Fred,

They accelerated the days events all around so we could get out of there by 2:30 in hopes of staying dry. The weather held at the AER site until about about then, but then the bottom absolutely fell out. Just finished washing the car... still a little wet in the footboxes.

The weather scared off so many folks, it was almost as though were giving out participation trophies... but I will gladly take it (my 1st show). I am sure things would have been different if that candy apple red beauty had been there.

John

Congrats John !

I was watching the radar and wondering if you and others got to try out their new drain holes in the floor pans.

With you rolling East,did you out run it ?

LuvDaBlues · #19 (**permalink**) 05-03-2009, 08:12 PM

This was one time I was happy to be towing the trailer. Medium rain on the way home. But once I hit Rockwall, it was like the Six Flags log ride. Unbelievable rain and wind. Our rain meter reads 4" from yesterday and last night.

Observations about showing my cars.
If I have to hear "is that a real one?" one more time, I'm gonna shoot myself. I thought showing the Mustang would have spared me. Even if it is a GT350 clone.

Types of people who are tough to deal with at shows:
a) The dude who just won't leave because he wants to tell how he's going to totally fix up his dads old 64-1/2 Mustang as soon as dad dies and he saves up enough money.
b) The guy who knows so much it's almost boring. He trumps you on everything said. Even knows what brand of toilet paper ol' Shelby uses.
c) The ones that just don't understand road racing. "Nope, not a drag racer. Nope, not dirt track either." "Yes I turn left, but right also. Yes part of the track is flat, but we run up and down hills too." "No not on city streets, it's a closed coarse". "Oh good Lord no, this is a VINTAGE RACE CAR. We don't "rub" each other off the track to win". "Nope, we don't use nitrous. That would be cheating".
d) The ones with kids who ask to sit in the car. But then won't get out!

Now don't get me wrong, I enjoy showing. But ya hafta deal with a bunch of knuckleheads just to talk with one or two great guys. I guess the world is being invaded by stupid.

hey,littlecobra · #20 (**permalink**) 05-03-2009, 08:28 PM
