WY DSM meet - Page 2

skyrone · 02-17-2008, 03:31 PM

Yeah we gotta find like a big ass park or parking lot and just hang out and have like a carshow. everybody can just check out each others cars and hang out. Maybe a dsm garage sale and trade. I think there might be a big parking lot right by the strip that we could all set up in. Then we could just go drag as we felt like it. Then later probably hit up some grub at perkins across the street or somewhere else maybe whatever. Then go on an evening cruise. I don't know the town but we will figure out something. Hopefully we can find some long straight flat roads.

skyrone · 02-17-2008, 03:34 PM

Maybe we could make up some sort of bracket. We could have some trophys made up for fastest dsm, nicest dsm, best panty dropper etc.

cruisintalonawd · 02-17-2008, 04:31 PM

Haha we could do both cruise and race. But I messed up he has a 4g. There are some parking lots that are pretty big here in casper I don't remember much about Douglas then we could do what ever the cruise down to Douglas for racing or just meet there

skyrone · 02-17-2008, 04:34 PM

how far is douglas from casper? It wouldnt have to be a day thing. shit id bring a tent and find a koa or somethin cheap. That way we could have a whole weekend

cruisintalonawd · 02-17-2008, 05:09 PM

I'm over guessing this but its maybe 50 miles away

skyrone · 02-17-2008, 08:09 PM

Yeah it might even be less then that but interstate cruising would be sweet. I emailed the guy who runs the douglas strip about what weekend would be good for the meet and rules. I also asked him if we can hang out in the parking lot next to the strip. Hopefully he will email me back soon.

cruisintalonawd · 02-17-2008, 08:20 PM

alright sweet so theres only 4 maybe 5 of us going

skyrone · 02-17-2008, 09:43 PM

well thats just online. Ive got a friend that will for sure go and my cousin might make the drive from nebraska and he lives in a house of 4 dsms so maybe he'll bring them but idk it wont take long for word to get around but we need to finalize some stuff so we could make an actual for sure bulletin.

cruisintalonawd · 02-17-2008, 10:06 PM

Yeah Ill ask Khartley if she wants to go

khartley · 02-18-2008, 08:24 PM

Depends on where and when and how my car is running at that point, if I even still have it.

cruisintalonawd · 02-18-2008, 08:26 PM

cruisintalonawd · 02-19-2008, 06:02 PM

maybe we could meet up and go to bandimere......thatd be cool go durring a test and tune day since they have alot of them

skyrone · 02-19-2008, 08:55 PM

where is bandimere and what is it? strip or a race track?

cruisintalonawd · 02-19-2008, 09:03 PM

its in denver Welcome to Bandimere.com!

skyrone · 02-19-2008, 09:07 PM

i've been talking to the guy who runs the strip in douglas and this is what he has said so far. if anybody has anything they want me to ask him let me know

Well, we are by no means expecting the sturgis rally of dsm's. I'm thinking a ball park figure we might get like 50 cars. I wasn't really looking into renting the track, I was more looking for a day that we would qualify to be a part of. To better understand our cars it might be helpful to visit DSMtuners . This site will tell you everything you need to know. I don't think the other people involved would mind being put up against other types of cars. So just let me know what you think we should do, we are still pretty much in the planning process. Thanks, Sky

Sky,

Thanks for considering Douglas Motorsports Park for your club even. If you can give me a little more information as to the number of cars you might expect and what kind of activities you would like to participate in, it would be helpful. Your timing is very good as we are having a Board Of Director meeting this Saturday and we would be able to discuss the options available to your group.

Fitting you in as a special designation class on one of our regular race days might be more fun than you might first think. You would have a great exposure to several other racers of the other classes and a great opportunity to showcase your cars. To rent the track is $3500 per day and is not refundable in the event of rain. This would include the normal starting line crew and ambulance crew and a couple VHT treatments on the racing surface. We will discuss the options this weekend and I'll let you know what could be made available to your group.

Thanks,
Dick Alexander
Track Announcer

Hi. Me and some other car enthusiasts are wanting to have a meet there on a weekend that we could use the strip. I believe our cars would fall under sport compacts. Most of them are Mitsubishi Eclipses', Eagle Talons, Plymouth Lasers, and maybe a few other cars. I'm just trying to figure out when would be a good weekend to have it and would we would need to know about safety regulations and what not in order to use the strip. Thanks.

skyrone · 02-19-2008, 11:24 PM

good find but shit that means i gotta buy some stuff. jacket, and helmet at least. what is a driveline loop? and is that only if your running slicks???

cruisintalonawd · 02-20-2008, 12:29 AM

That would be foe the people with a full drive lines so that if it breaks it won't dig into the track. We pretty much have them already I believe that would be a good thread to start if not already has been. And next Time you talk to that hit in Douglas ask him about seats because I was told that it might be required to have a non-recline seat too
