ok, so before i go and actually look into planning this..... how many of y'all would be willing to come to northern Delaware for a dyno day at one of the local shops? we have a few i would look into doing the event (Race Proven Motorsports in New Castle, DE.... Horsepower Addicts in St. George's, DE... maybe even Complete Street Performance in West Chester, PA).
my thinking would be to have this as sort of an all day event where we'd show up to the shop around 9-10am (ish), do the formal meet & greet and move into knocking out some dyno runs. break for lunch, have pizzas delivered between 12-1pm. then back to more dyno runs into the evening. then depending on just how many people come, go to a nice restaurant for dinner as a group.
as cool as it would be to have it a "V1 Only" thing, i feel it's only right to invite the V2/3 guys.... and in all honesty, i'm cool with anything else showing up, just as long as the owner is cool and the car isn't a safety hazard *cough*mustang*cough*

There are enough of us in the area, even if somebody just picks a random date for a meet up (perhaps even just in conjunction with an existing cars and coffee or something), we could get a decent turnout.

OK, I reached out to a place that has great food and beer. The owner said they would consider roping us off some spots so we can all part together and enjoy some time meeting each other and can also set up a room for us to have lunch.

There are a TON of good twisty roads in this area for pre/post cruising. and its right off a highway exit.
i was looking at july 23rd or aug 13th as possibilities for a lunch or dinner time meet. Chime in guys and let me know. feel free to reach out to the FB group as i am not on facebook.
they could do an early morning breakfast event on sundays on july 24th or aug 14th. but we would likely have to be gone by noon.

I'm in NOVA as well. Currently trying to sell the V but I'll keep an eye on the thread so I can maybe see it again after it sells at a local meet!

Unfortunately not. I don't drive this one enough and I could use the cash more then another car. I also have a Chevelle itch I have been wanting to scratch for awhile.

it sucks that for any type of boost application to the V1 it requires a good amount of custom fab work and/or sacrifice of a creature comfort (ex: a/c).
i was asking gtistile if he was looking for another one.

Another NoVA resident here. I'm not too far from where they do Katie's Cars & Coffee on Saturday mornings.
Yes. I was down at VIR a couple weeks ago, and I'm heading to Summit Point this weekend to run with Trackdaze. Not sure what my next event after that will be. I should be able to take a passenger on track with me during the afternoon sessions this Saturday and Sunday, if anyone is interested (and has an appropriate Snell-certified helmet to wear) let me know.
Damn, that's a helluva build!
I could do the 13th. I think I'll be out of town the 23rd.

I know it's a long shot when it comes to V1s but are any of you guys drag racers? My buddies and I will rent out MIR a couple times a year typically on a Friday if anyone is interested I will update and invite for that!

anyone else want to chime in on possibly doing a meeting on 8/13?? check your schedules.

ok i am going to give this a bump to see if anyone is still down for something.
aug 12th, this thing is in PA i have no idea how the turn out is but its close enough i would go. https://ls1tech.com/forums/eastern-m...ise-se-pa.html
aug 13th, we could meet anywhere i suggested here but i really dont care, http://www.mcfaulsironhorse.com/
aug 20th-21st, https://www.raceit.com/Register/?event=36075
if we could get a few guys together in our region it would be cool. I dont have the time to spread news and promote gatherings and such. so if it doesnt work i will just go about my normal and wave to other Vs on the street when i pass by lol.
