Default Dare I post a Valley GTG for March 9th?

The weather has not been good to us lately, so with trepidation, I will post up a valley GTG for Saturday, the 9th of March. Meet at the Whole Foods parking lot at 9:00am, blast off around 10:00am. Not only hoping you show up, but that the weather will turn to the better.

Unless the weather changes, looks like Thursday, Friday, and Saturday will be rain free. Yipee.

I sure would love to go,,,but we are doing a lot of work to Baby now for/during the winter off season... like adding another 5"-6" to each tire width on the back with new inverse trailing arms..
New front tubular A-arms which will add more caster for high speed stability.
new electronic speedo for speeds up to and beyond 180mph,,,,
New RPM/**** lights
rebuild steering column, and rebuilding peddles with bearings in place of bushings.
do a new Dyno tune... hoping to get near or to 550RWHP... down to 3009 lbs. with 1/2 tank of gas..
Will see you guys next month.,.. mods near done now..

Hey Paul, good to hear things are moving along with Baby and the house. Any new baby yet, HA! Passed buy your house today but we didn't stop obviously. Great run today with everything thrown in, dry (mostly), some dirt in spots, and a couple water crossings. All in all a great day. Thanks Mark 1.2 for the lunch, much appreciated. Glad to have Guy along after a long hyatis, and Guy2 showing up from the southbay. Special thanks to our two new tag alongs, Kevin and Andy, but showed us how to drive. Till next time.

I had a blast it was nice meeting 3-4 new faces! Andy thanks for the breakfast. I appreciate it. Lew/Mike good to see you guys. I saw C6Monkey on Angeles Crest in his Corvette!

I came up with a new name for myself:
Mark 1.2 that should cover it.

Yep that was me. I just got the car back on the road this morning after the latest mods. I went for a test drive up Angeles Crest today. It was good to see you and your green car, no mistaking it. I'll try to make the next one.

Pd, I was hard on you last time and you were gracious to host all of us, you are a class act, seriously.

C6Monkey it was serendipity seeing you on Angeles Crest that we were asking about you at lunch and wondered what happened? Please come to the next run, you too Paul d.

It's more fun with the old gang. Plus we want updates on the man cave dream garage dyno.

It was great to see everyone after being away for so long. I think Father's day last year might have been my last time out. A fun drive made even better by the people involved. See you all at the next one.

Special thanks to Mopar Mark for brunch!
