Awesome, thanks bro!

I'll let you know, still not sure what's going on this weekend (well, post-thursday anyhow).

Thanks again, Scotty

 

Sorry, I so obviously offended you and that wasn't my intent. After rereading my original post it came across slightly arrogant and belittling which was not my intent.
While I've meet a few of the Mopar guys and found them to be good guys, I totally disagree with the way they've become the BK car show dictators. I think it's a great thing that BK does for the car guys and BK no doubt benefits from it... I know I always make a point to purchase something from them (or anyone else) if I hang out there.

The problem I have with the guys that "run the show" is the way they treat everyone not driving a Mopar like a 3rd rate citizen. Go to this 'show' and a high % of the cars are Mopar, what isn't Mopar is parked out back next to the BK dumpsters while ALL the Mopars park in the front (some nice, some are real POS). THIS is way so many people have animosity towards these guys! The reason so many of the cars are Mopar at this thing is because these guys ONLY cater to Mopar owners and everyone else has gotten sick of the poor treatment so fewer and fewer people are going there!

These guys don't realize that they are slowly killing off the muscle car numbers up there... they only want domestics (which I'm all about), but then they've created a hierarchy within the domestics by throwing what they feel are the "blacks" (GM, Ford, AMC...) at the back of the school bus. I'm going to guess (and I maybe wrong) that you might not be old enough to remember what the Pike was like 15 years ago. We used to go there and hangout, race, BS... and everyone was pretty cool with it (including the cops if it was kept mild). I could drive my Mustang 5.0L or my old '68 Camaro up there during the 80's and feel right at home... anywhere. Lots of really sweet muscle cars, rods, and new muscle (for the time). Then over the years, imports started to slowly take over. As such, the "V8 crowd" and the imports separated. More recently these self-appointed BK show dictators have continued to discourage anything other than Mopar owners to participate in the activities. Most people I talk to won't go up to the Pike anymore because of the police, ricers and the Mopar ****'s. Please don't get me wrong, I love a lot of the old Mopars and I like many of the owners... but seeing these guys slowly stifle what remains of the muscle car crowd so they can selfishly show only Mopars is counter productive IMHO.

As far as hanging out with the ricers, while I can say that was the first time doing so, I did meet some cool car people... a lot of idiots, but there were some cool kids in the bunch. What surprised me was they were cool with having the Z06 in the parking lot with all the rice... more so than the BK Mopar ****'s, which is VERY sad!

BTW, I'm not into running anyone for money. I think it's cool you know someone with a faster car than mine (God knows there are a LOT of them out there) and I'd be happy to run them for fun. I never said I have a super fast car and KNOW it wouldn't take much to beat it, but I do enjoy running for ***** and giggles... win or lose is all fun in my book.

Hope to see you and others up there this summer.

 

If you see me up there, please introduce yourself... I'd be happy to give you a ride.

 

That's why we need to go to BK some night around 6 and jsut sit there, in the prime spots... to make a point.

Next good Saturday ( weather wise ) that I'm free, I'd be more then happy to participate in a BK takeover for a night... might get the point across.

 

Wet1 as for remembering the pike 15 years ago , That I do . Yea those were the days , we used to be out till 4.00 in the morning watching and racing but I guess as we get older and change so does the pike.. Sucks that its not what it used to be , but i guess we either go to hang out and bullshit or we dont.

 

What color Z06? How old are you? Specs of the car?

I need to know what to look for and how often are you out there?

 

PM sent.

 

Wet, if the weather is good this Friday and you don't have anything going on, head up to Vernon off I 84, there's a cruise in the field next to where Golf land is, you can see part of gold land right off the highway exit 65 I think, I'm gonna go this Friday and then myself and a couple other guys are gonna head down to the pike after to go to D&D. Should be a good time.

 

Thanks for the invite. I know I have a lot to do Friday so I'm guessing I won't be able to make it. There's a chance I might be able to make it up to the Pike Sat. night, but I'm not 100% sure at this point. Are you guys going to be there Sat. night for the 99.9% Mopar fest if the weather holds out?

 

Have to see.. I have plans for Sunday and I gotta get up mad early, but I'll see if I can make it. Supposed to rain saturday....

 

i thought its supposed to be nice tomorrow and sat? anyway i took the day off sat so i can go to the CTFBA show finally!

anyone down for meeting up tomorrow night? i want to go up there but i dont know much of anyone...so if anyone wanted to meet up for a little that would be cool

 

Tomorrow night... I thin kthat I'm gonna go to D&D... I'll be going to a local cruise first, that gets out around 8, so I should make it to the pike about 8:30 or so. Not sure if I'll take my car or ride with a buddy of mine, have to see. I'm on such a high after getting some good track results last night.. I wanna save the car as I know it's got a ton more in it..... no need to waste it driving around on the street.... but if you're gonna go, I'll take it.

 

bring it, i'm going

congrats on the times as well! good 60', it will just keep getting better too

 

ill go friday night if thats when everyone is going, so i guess you can make it three people now

 

Humvee, you live in ellington? I still live ther part time while I'm working on the house I bought in new britain, if you can, go to the vernon cruise night, they moved it to the field next to gold land.. then we can all caravan to the pike afterwards... more fun that way. I'll take the car.... slicks are back off though, not gonna waste the track tires, I need them for at least one more track trip.

 

ooooh, I have some good friends that live in Ellington... Mind a tag-along tonight?

 

Hell no I don't mind, more the merrier!

 

Sweet! just tell me where to go and when to be there!

 

Vernon cruise night, at golf land on rt. 83, be there at around 6 to 7, or at Dunkin donuts after 9... either place you should run into me.

 

Ya'll got an address for either of those places? I'm not entirely sure where either are, haha
