CT Pike crowd
Actually the parking lot behind BK was huge, and we could have kept a lot of cars there if people did not start being ******** and doing burn outs & doughnuts in the parking lot.

Since there seems to be a good amount of people interested, why don’t a couple guys find a spot on the pike, talk to the manager/owner of the place and set up a LS1TECH.com meet there for Saturday nights. Have it welcome to any LSX powered vehicle, any year F body, or just any type of vehicle we support here on LS1TECH.com Make general rules and guidelines, a few people can volunteer to control the cars as to where they can park and make it a controlled environment, we can present that to the manager/owner and see if we can get the ball rolling...
I live about 35 min from the Pike, and I love going there. The only problem is I don’t know anyone down there nor does anyone in my town have an F Body I can go with so I only go a few times a year. I would love to start a meet so I can go up there every other weekend and meet some people. If anyone wants to really get something started then I’m down.

We went up with a group of 5 Camaro ss/z28's last time. Just from around here. It's about an hour drive for us. I would still like to see a once a month or something. I ran into lilsteph & cheff last time I was there.
all of you should really check out the CTFBA events (Conn F Body Association) we do shows, poker runs, picnics etc its a great group of people and ya will find large groups of f fbodies
Chef, you should try to set up a CTFBA event on the pike on a Saturday nite. Also, I can't log on to the CTFBA web site? My log in does not work for some reason. Can you help me out with that?

I live practically just down the road from the pike in Rocky Hill so I might head out there this weekend. So the BK thing is more of a car show? Is there a good spot we can just hang out and talk cars for a while then cruise around a bit. At car shows it seems like you are always blocked in and cant get out for a cruise when you want to.
Make sure you ya let me know about this saturday soon... I have one blank CD for my camcorder, but I'll get another one so I knwo I don't run out of time. ( not that I think you'll all make enough runs to fill a 30 monute CD.... but I'll get one anyway )
Who's gonna drive the camera guy up anyway? I'll bring a cooler with soda and stuff for whoever gives me a ride..... make it worth someone's time.

I will be at the pike any weekend I don't have a show and the weather holds up. I would be interested to see if anyone could get an F-body or LSX show going. I tend to think LSX would get us more participants, but the idea of basing a car show around a type of engine instead of a type of car might turn off most managers to working with you / taking you seriously. Just a thought. Keep us posted and good luck.
Jay,
I am bringing my girlfriend with me Saturday, so I don't have an open seat. Aaron doesn't have anyone going that I know of, but don't quote me. Ron will probably bring his girlfriend if he goes and my mom and dad are definitely going (probably in the 04 GTO). Unfortunately, Craig's car is broken, so he will probably either have to find a ride or not go. I don't know of anyone else that knows we are all going. Do you know of anyone else that you can convince to join us?

JL, I'll give ya a ride up one weekend. Right now I wanna address that SES light first & finish up my interior. Also have about 300 more miles left of break in on the tranny. 500 miles should be good right? I've done like 250 so far since I got her back.
I was up their Fri. night as well, only action was a giant pepsi bin at Citgo got blown by the wind into my car (w/ custom paint mind you) & scuffed it. It's going through Citgo's insurance now I believe & it may get passed on to Pepsi. W/e they're paying for the damages so I'm not too too concerned but I think I scared the girl I brought down w/ me when she saw my "Something/somebody messed w/ my car" mood.

I was very close to losing it at Citgo. They should have those bins better anchored so they don't slide like that with a gust of wind. It hit another car as well but he was just so pissed he drove off. There was no way I was gonna do the same so now I'm just waiting for Citgo to get the paperwork done. Then I'm gonna have my bodyshop write me up an estimate. It's prolly gonna be expensive 'cause to match the color w/ the metallic flake will be difficult.
