dsmlink meet

[twdorris]

Good question. It's hard to think about it with 1 to 2 feet of snow still on the ground. But Spring is coming, so we're definitely open. All I know is that June is out for sure.

I had a great time last trip out, but i have to say the track set up there is not in favor of AWD cars. There is no way to get around the wet box so you track water up to the beams and spin through first gear. I would still come up for the dsm get together though!

 

[badas93tsi]

I'm all for it. I has brand new Hoosiers!!!!!!!

 

[concreteTSI]

if everything stays on track, im a set of cams and a machine shop away from being ready for anything!!!hahaha

 

[twdorris]

I'm thinking May 8th or 9th. I can't do the 15th/16th and the 22nd/23rd is not test and tune and the 29th/30th is memorial day. So it seems like 8th or 9th.

Hey Tom, what do you think about doing a rental this year? I never did send you the break down forms, but they change every year anyway.

 

[twdorris]

Yeah, we're considering a rental thing later in the year perhaps. I just don't have time to work the details, unfortunately. Which probably means we'll be unable to do it.

Thomas Dorris

 

[badas93tsi]

I could probably volunteer to handle the details. We've been trying to get enough people for a rental for a couple years now. If you want, pm me your number and I'll call later this evening and tell you how we were going about it last year. I usually have 5-6 hours of govt paid time to work on important stuff like this. I already emailed the track to get a 2010 price list.

 

[twdorris]

Sounds good!

I personally haven't been to Mason Dixon so I don't know about the wet box problem. We live about 5 minutes from there now so hopefully we can check it out this weekend or next and see whats up with that. May sounds great for us as well, just warm enough for both my cars to appreciate a trip down the strip.

 

[snowborder714]

Let me know if you need any help organizing the rental or working out any details. My current project gives me a lot of free time during the day.

Hopefully we can set a date far enough in advance I can request off (since I'm working weekends) or get lucky that it's my weekend off.

 

[twdorris]

I'll wait to hear back from badas93tsi on the rental options. I think we'll definitely do something along those lines. We may want to team up with the 3si guys to keep the numbers up.

Thomas Dorris

 

[greenydsm]

I'm two hours and fifteen minutes away.

I don't trust the car to make that, but if i could borrow a trailor i'll deffently be in.

Thomas Dorris

Or maybe some EVO guys

 

[twdorris]

Or maybe some EVO guys

Certainly an option. I suggested 3si only because there's a guy local to the track that does 3si work and he suggested the combo thing. Maybe a big ol' Mitsu EVO, DSM, 3kGT day!

Thomas Dorris

 

[badas93tsi]

The guy that owns the track absolutely sucks at returning emails. I'm getting his number from a friend of mine tomorrow. I'll give him a call and see what the current rates are. I tried calling you a couple times Tom, but you're a busy man it seems. If it comes down to it, I'll go to the track and talk to the guy in person.

 

[97gstkat]

If it's out of your way, I could swing by for you. It's around the corner / on the way home for me.

 

[badas93tsi]

Its out of my way, but I'm always up for a trip to the strip. I just called the hotline, and they are closed this weekend. I'm guessing they'll be closed all of March.

8th and 9th is import weekend at carlisle

We may want to team up with the 3si guys to keep the numbers up.

Thomas Dorris

gotcha covered, usually at least 10 or so over here and I know many of the guys are always ready to do something.

We are plugged in with a group of Baltimore EVO guys as well. I think there's only 2 or 3 EVO's running around up here in Hagerstown.

Also I am 10 minutes from the track if you any of you guys want to save yourselves the trip to set everything up.

Certainly an option. I suggested 3si only because there's a guy local to the track that does 3si work and he suggested the combo thing.

Thomas Dorris

Hey I'll have you know there are 4 DSM's here right now

 

[97gstkat]

This Saturday looks like it should be dry and warm. Perhaps they will be open since it seems it will stay dry all through this week, too.

 

[Gooberlog]

Yeah the forecast shows sunny in the 60's from today until Sunday which is more rain.
