Good Evening Everyone,

October is a super busy month and we are doing lots of events. Anyone and everyone is welcome to join us! Here are the events:

Sunday, October 4th(Calendar Link/Thread Link) Cart racing at K1 Speed in Anaheim! We will meet in front of the Anaheim facility at 2:00p.m. on Sunday. If you pay at the facility the cost is roughly $26 for a license and a 14 lap race. If you have a Costco membership you can get the same thing for about $16 by going to Costco and purchasing in advance. I also managed to find a coupon for $5 off that you can print out and use. Here is the coupon:

If you have a helmet you should bring it as I believe they are required. After we all race, I thought we could go to dinner if everyone is up to it. One option would be to go through Santiago Canyon to Fuddruckers in Lake Forest. If anyone else has other suggestions though, I'm happy to hear them. Winner gets bragging rights

Saturday, October 10th(Calendar Link/Thread Link) - Monthly Motorgen Meet at Nick's Burger in Fullerton. The meet starts at 6:30p.m. A great mix of domestic, import, and euro. Everyone is welcome - the food is good and it's a great group of people! We have filled the lot the last two months in a row - over 50 cars both times! Here are links to the photos from August and September. We may do a cruise that day as well - details to follow

The address for Nick's is:

Nick's Burger

damn.. all kinds of stuff going on in october. Looks like I will be able to make all of them...hopefully. I don't work on the weekends so unless something comes up, i should be good.

I have been wanting to do 1/4 mile drag for a bit as i have only done 1/8 mile on my new setup. FDPALMER, if you see this, let me know if you are down to go. If anyone wants to go to street legal drags, let me know. I might want to tag along and run my car.

 

Good deal - see you around it sounds like

 

Thanks to one of the Camaro5 guys, we now have a buy one get one free for K1 this weekend. The coupon is here for anyone that wants it

 

nice!

 

My wife called Costco today and they were out of tickets. It looks like our best bet will be to use the buy 1 get 1 coupon I posted yesterday. It should be basically 2, 14 lap races, for about $26. Keep your eyes here for details, but otherwise we'll be there at 2p.m. on Sunday

 

Bump - Kart racing is TOMORROW! I'm thinking of going with this route to Fuddruckers through Santiago Canyon afterwards

See everyone there!

 

K1 racing was awesome. We had 11 of us racing and also 6 spectators. Here are some pictures. Video will be up soon as well. We went through Santiago Canyon after and then went to Fuddruckers for some grub. It was an great time - I'm definitely setting up another K1 run soon for anyone that missed it. For anyone wondering, my motorgen avatar is the result of losing a bet to a fellow member at K1 yesterday - it's not my choice

The monthly Motorgen Meet is this upcoming Saturday, October 10th! Here is a link to the discussion thread. It's a mix of every kind of car you can think of. We've filled the lot the last couple months, so it's over 50 cars.

Also, because their wasn't enough going on we're planning a trip to the Orange County Auto Show on Friday, October 15th at 6:30p.m. for anyone that wants to go. If you buy tickets online, you get a subscription to Motor Trend for free. Here is the discussion thread, and here is the link with details.

Anyone that wants to come is welcome!

 

Sorry everyone, I was obviously tired last night. We're going to the Auto Show on Friday, October 16th at 6:30p.m. Here and here are the info threads.

 

Haha, hey Jesse Yeah, I've never been on an 1/8 mile track, but I will assure you the 1/4 mile track is fun stuff, it def. lets your motor open up more. I still haven't gotten the ET streets I want but what the hell. I'm in the process of retuning my car after some work (reinstalled emissions crap, new water pump, new intake box). I finally got everything sorted out the last couple of days... I plan on going. Hopefully my diff or axles don't break

 

For anyone that didn't notice (I wasn't real clear), the 2nd link I posted last night (here) is for a free ticket to the show courtesy of one of our members.

Bump for the meet as well - it's this Saturday, October 10th

 

cool, i hope not either. Well, i have some extra chromoly axles i can install on my car and just hook you up with my oem's if yours do break..lol.

 

Bump. Great people, great meet - come on down!

 

Bump -

Tonight - Meet at Nick's tonight!
Friday, October 16th - Orange County Auto Show @ 6:30
Sunday, October 18th - Lunch @ the Hat and cruise through canyon to a plane museum.
Saturday, October 31st - Taping runs and tailgating at California Speedway.


Next month I'm trying to set up a group tint day for anyone interested. I posted it up on our board and already have about 10 cars interested. If I can get a good group together I think I can get us a good deal. If anyone has any recommendations on tint shops though - let me know!

 

Video from K1 Kart Racing is here!

 

Hey man, thanks for thinking of me I have a problem however, I think I may have an ignition or cat clogging issue, or a little of both. I have decided not to run the car until I get it sorted out and there is no way in hell it will happen for at least the next two-three months. Sorry dude. On the flipside, I will still try to show up and take some video myself PM me your number so I can get a hold of you when the time comes.

 

I went!

Met a lot of cool guys with some VERY nice cars. I like the diversity of these meets.

I also met Ben, one of the organizers of the motorgen meets. Super Cool Dude. And again, hit me up when you guys plan on working on the Rx, I'd love to help.

 

For anyone that wants to go to the Auto Show this Friday, the 16th with us, remember to print up your free ticket here. Bring some cash for parking if you plan on parking in the structure or in front (I think it's something like $8, but I can't remember for sure). We are planning to meet in the front entrance are (where you but tickets) at 6:30p.m. Give me a call at 714-322-2324 if you can't find us or want to meet up at the show later.

Also, this Sunday, October18th we are doing lunch at The Hat in Brea and then cruising through Carbon Canyon to the Planes on Fame Museum in Chino. If you like WWII planes, etc, it's a pretty awesome museum. Definitely come hang out if you can make it, both events will be fun!

Thanks.

Sean

 

Bump!

Auto Show this Friday, and cruise(and museum) this Sunday!!

Also, does anyone have any recommendations for tint places?

 

This is the plan for tomorrow:

For those that want to get dinner first, Leedom will meet everyone at the Carl's Jr at the address below at 6:00p.m.:

2119 S Harbor Blvd
Anaheim, CA 92802
(714) 971-5641

I will probably be at Carl's as well. We are aiming to leave Carl's at 6:25ish (it'll be tight time wise) and then park and meet at the show.

At the show we will meet up at the very front entrance at 6:30p.m. There is a main ticket booth and bathrooms right by the entrance and we'll just meet in front of that. I'll be in a blue SchoolsFirst Federal Credit Union shirt for anyone that has problems finding us (or give me a call at 714-322-2324). We will try to enter the show by 6:45p.m. For anyone that comes later than that, just give me a call if you want to meet up. Don't forget to print your free ticket! See everyone tomorrow!

Sean

 

Show was great - if any of you get a chance to check it out I definitely recommend it. Here are all the pictures from yesterday.

Tomorrow we're meeting at the Hat in Brea at 11:00a.m. We're going to grab lunch and then leave at around 12:30 (I want to give everyone time to get there and eat). After that we'll cruise through Carbon Canyon out to the plane museum in Chino. Here is a link to the thread with details. See everyone tomorrow!

 

Hey, Mike and I are down for the cruise tomorrow, see you guys at The Hat!

 

my favorite picture for the day:



that was fun, thanks man!

 

It was great to see you guys - thanks for coming!

Tell Mike I got his PM, but I've been swamped. I will PM him back shortly though

 

The cruise and plane museum was really cool - thanks to everyone that made it. Here is a link to all the pictures from the day.

The last event of the month (for us anyway) will be tailgating and taping runs at the Street Legal Drags at California Speedway on Saturday, October 31st. Here is the info on how to get your car taped, and here is the discussion thread.

We hit a mini milestone today with our 500th member which is really slick. I remember when we had less than a dozen. If you're a car guy and live in Southern California, definitely stop by the site, post on the board, and feel free to join us at any events you can make it to!

See you at the track.

Sean
