whos interested?

[Crispy]

I'd be interested in a summer meet but not necessarily any sort of race/drag event.

[Echoman]

I know that BBOX, Dave, and myself are going to Logan Motorsports May 5th for a tune ("Powerfest") and then we're off to Byron Dragway. That's the plan for now at least. It's the Powerfest thread in Land of Lincoln NECO.

[BigBalledOX]

Sweet jesus . . . I'm just not going to have time for everything this summer . . . I don't think I want to drive three hours to race an 1/8th mile track though.

[NascarSigEp]

A summer meet would be great. I don't think a drag event would be so hot.

[Catwoman3700]

I know some people that might be interested in bringing bikes down!! Hee hee....
Hopefully they won't tell us to :gtfo:

[Echoman]

I know Byron by us has bike clubs show up all the time. 7some odd seconds was the fastest I saw. You ****ers are crazy!:rofl:

WHat about cruise nite in Kearney NE

[NascarSigEp]

WHat about cruise nite in Kearney NE
I was just there yesterday.

[Prez]

I'd be down for something Omaha/Lincoln/Des Moines/Suoix City based. Kearney is way to far for me.

[J-Man]

How about you come to the May 20th autocross for the SCCA. I'll be there and hopefully running.

[Giggle]

Starting in June I am going to be working in omaha every other weekend. So we should have a meet there. I won't have a place of my own yet just staying with family. I knowfor sure I will be there June 14th through the 17th we should have something then.

[J-Man]

I started a poll so we can formally plan a meet. I vow to have one in May sometime!

[Jameson250s]

[Prez]

Down with omaha or des moines either one.
