Autorama

[Drewmanfu0]

Who would be interested in entering the autorama? If you are an ISCA member the entry fee is only $15. The best group showing award is $500. I think it would be cool if we could get some cougars in the show this year.

[AtomicInternet]

I've been in it every even year so far, so I'd be game. I just hate going by myself, it gets boring.

[jrak123]

My brothers club is hosting Autorama Extreme next year.

[Murdock]

Sounds like a plan to me

[s.wilson]

I'd be willing to come... who has more information??? And, sorry for being a noob, but what is ISCA?

I have a vinyl cutter, I'll make decals for all the cougars that come out so that everyone knows were in the same group ;)

[Excelcier]

I've always wanted to go, but my car's out of commission in the winter and it's too much work to put it back on the road and get insurance back on it for like 2 days.

Info wont be coming out until late Nov-Dec time. Since my brothers car club is hosting I wll be able to provie the info for you guys as I get it.

But since my brothers car club is all Rat Rod and Nostalgia stuff, I know they were talking about cutting the Tuner car stuff out for the upcoming show.

[AtomicInternet]

Well it's November, any updates? I'm not a big fan of the tuner crowd either, but it would be nice to have an MC-NECO section. I'm sure we could get 10-15 Cougars if it was the same $25 entry fee as last year. It would be a sweet weekend long meet, that's for sure. Even if we got shoved in the corner, 2 days of a warm building to work on our cars in would rock.

[jrak123]

I think it's $50 now Brad. As far as I know right now the tuner crowd will be upstairs this time around, kind of back by where the food stands and for sale cars are.

[Drewmanfu0]

I am totally down for paying whatever as long as a few other peeps are willing to go.

[Murdock]

I am still in for it...as long as the timing is ok. Have they released the exact date yet??

edit: March 9-11 this time around. I should be back in the country by then :)

[jrak123]

Ok so here's the deal, since my brothers car club is the host club for the autoramaxtreme show I have access to some info. They pretty much want to do away with the "tuner crowd" (in which we fit into) As it goes sso far they are going to reserve a corner for tuners and the rest will be street, hot and rat rods.

My brother said at their next club meeting he will look into the details further and if they do indeed do away with tuners he said he will see if he can get our club in. BUt we would need 10 or so confirmed people to do it. And we would need to have a good display to go along with it.

[AtomicInternet]

All NECO girls required to attend in their bikinis.

Display done. Next requirement?

[jrak123]

good thinking brad!!!!! is Lisa#1 a NECO girl too? :naughty:

[Lunar Limelight]

Soooooooooooooo Lisa #1, Lisa #2, Mandy, Jenny, Maya. Hmm what other NECO girls are there? Oh and Brad. he's a girl.

[jrak123]

you forgot Ryan, he's a bytch

[Drewmanfu0]

Soooooooooooooo Lisa #1, Lisa #2, Mandy, Jenny, Maya. Hmm what other NECO girls are there? Oh and Brad. he's a girl.
HELLO...Who else drives a purple car? I have no problem letting my wife strut in a bikini at autorama.

[Lunar Limelight]

Well, keep us updated as much as you can. I am sure that we can get 10 cars confirmed for the show...and I am sure we can come up with a decent display to show off

[jrak123]

My thoughts exactly, but we will have some tough competition with my brothers club. www.theoriginalpoorboys.com Last year I had the edsel in their display along with 2 old bikes 2 work in progress cars and a dragster that was 6' up in the air. I would like to aim to beat my brothers club out of the display award this year. ( think it's a $500 prize to the club, that would make for a nice spring party)

[Murdock]

Do you have any pictures of their display from last time?? We would need to get together closer to the event, get everyone squared away that is going to be there, and get some display ideas together. If we can build the cars we drive, I think we can figure out an interesting display.

Edit: Found the pictures on their site.

[EternalOne]

I have 4 show displays still in my mothers barn in Jackson. Everything from light-up plexi signage, carpet, velvet ropes in 3 colors, mirrors, spotlights, and a rotisserie that was used to rotate my Sportage. (The rotisserie requires a special mounting plate under the vehicle, and the truck had to be perfectly 50/50 distribution.) If any of this is of use, I'll gladly letcha do whatcha want with it.

[jrak123]

Well I don't know how, but ti beat out all of the tuners elaborate displays too. Maybe it was the beer can pyramid we had from the first day of set up :rofl:

Are they even allowed to be included in judging this year? Most shows tend to not allow the hosting and judging clubs to be included in any of the award contests.

[Lunar Limelight]

When is autorama?
My car might be painted by then. I hope.

ITS NOT MY FAULT! I might live on campus. I donno.

[jrak123]

[LadyX]

OH! Come live in Windsor!! I have a spare room!

[Lunar Limelight]

The commute really sucks. Like today. I drove 45 minutes to go to 1 class. The professor cut the class an hour short. So I drove 45 minutes back home. So over an hour of driving for an hour class. Yeah not cool. But well i'm missing out on the parties!

[jrak123]

True... too bad it isn't closer to my house, you could always come chill with me. we could watch that Cusack movie I told you about.

[LadyX]

Which Cusak movie?

[Lunar Limelight]

Oh I forgot about that. Hmmmm....

[jrak123]

It sounds like we have the technology to get it done...now we just need a plan and a way to execute it

~Matt

[Drewmanfu0]

Depending on space limitations, I think We could have an awesome display.

So ten cars would be

Nancy's cougar
Jrak's cougar
Murdock's cougar
Atomic's cougar
John's cougar???
BBOX's cougar???
Lisa's cougar???
Ron's cougar, Have to have the flashy lights!
???
???

It would be nice to have RacerX cart his cat to put in our display.

[EternalOne]

Mine won't be there, that's right in the middle of my build time...

March huh, it's usually in Jan or Feb... well if it's that late, then maybe I could make it afterall.

[Murdock]

I looked it up last week, and that is what I found. I was a little surprised too.

[jrak123]

As Matt said it's usually the first week or 2 of march.

[Murdock]

[Lunar Limelight]

Lisa and Ron Suck!! Oh well We will have Jenny's Silverfros car to pit next to mine and Brads.

[Murdock]

:wiggle:

[bensenvill]

nope. I just live on a dirt road. :(


wait wait wait.... people still use dirt roads??

[Murdock]

You should come visit my neck of the woods...we have lots

[jrak123]

I say when the red river is flowing over always take the dirt road!

[Drewmanfu0]

Yeah everybody was asking if you lived on a dirt road, Matt. I replied if he lives in Algonac theres a 99% chance he does. HEHE they are all dirt out that way.

[Smitty2430]

nope. I just live on a dirt road. :(

I have the same problem. Cougar gets demodded for the winter and doesnt go back together until the end of april. So count me out guys. Sorry!

[Murdock]

I would not say that...if you are talking about the town of Algonac...then there are no dirt roads. But there are a lot not too far away.

And no, I do not live on a dirt road. I do not think I could allow myself to. That would suck too much with trying to keep the car clean all the time. And it would really suck trying to get my truck down it :evil:

[Lunar Limelight]

we could call our dust a mod.

[Murdock]

:rofl:

[Lunar Limelight]

"check out mah new paint job guys" CLASSIC DIRT!

[Murdock]

Any new updates on the actual thread topic???

[jrak123]

Nothing yet, my brothers car club gets together this sunday for their monthly meeting

[Murdock]

Ok...I really think we can pull this together, as long as your brothers club will let us in

[Murdock]

Nothing yet, my brothers car club gets together this sunday for their monthly meeting
Did they get a chance to talk about us??

[jrak123]

I am sure they did, I just haven't really seen my brother all week. He has class until late and I have been working 14 hours days

[Murdock]

Sounds like lots of fun

[jrak123]

yeah it will all slow up for me next Tuesday when my summer student gives his talk(meaning his presentation for his PhD thesis) Then back off to Germany for him.

[Murdock]

That should give you time to catch up on all your other projects

[jrak123]

That is what I am hoping for... I got a lot of stuff on my plate, and I still need to pull my lowering springs off for the winter, and I have a ford probe I bought that I have to pick up as well.


BTW I need a first gen probe engine and auto trans

I have to go to the junk yard this weekend, need to find a trans for my Escort, I will look to see if there are any 1st Gen's there. Did they put V6's in them or just the 4 banger??

Engines are a flat rate...$100 for 4 bangers $150 for V6's I think
Auto trans is about $100 too...might be less

[jrak123]

I am pretty sure just a 4 banger.
