I can bring my little propane grill also if it's needed or more charcoal, I have two bags here. We can get two charcoal grills running at the same time. Hell, I'll bring a wire brush and some grill cleaner so we can have a CLEAN grill grate! (or just steal the grate out of my grill to cook ontop of).

Looks like I'm going cooler shopping in the morning. I seriously doubt if we'll get a phone call and miraculously end up cruising up there in the Celica.

With the amount that's currently signed up, I'd say atleast a few packages.

QUOTE (richee3 @ May 10, 2013 - 2:33 PM) Well this turnout looks promising. I wasn't planning on bringing THAT many burgers. Laziness may prevail and I'll buy some pre-made (not cheap) burgers just so I don't have to put forth any effort. I'm still trying to figure out how to fit a cooler in this:  Either way, I'm working Friday so I won't be home until 8:30, still have to do all of my shopping, get everything ready to go, and hit the road at 5 am. Gonna be short on sleep already, so I may just go with some store bought burgers (again, NOT the cheap frozen ones.) LOL @ your crazy strut bar, over compensating for something?  Got a gf here who has a Z now too, complains all the time about the 'room issue'. You don't have that rear suspension creaking noise do you?

HillBillyTruck has plenty of space for a cooler.....should I bring? QUOTE (narly_charley @ May 11, 2013 - 12:15 PM) Hey guys, just want to update the list... This meet is going to be a blast.

Lol of course the rear suspension creaks. Gotta love that Datsun quality! Does your girlfriend have the DE or HR? We're seriously tempted to trade ours in for a 6 speed HR, despite how much we hate the manual trans in Z's.

I love the look of those cars though, if the numbers were a little higher I would've jumped on it.

HR with that crazy rev match thing...stalled it a bunch of times & looked like a tool doing it...something to get used to with modern manuals.

If that don't do it, let me point you to a 0 miles GTR with AMS Alpha Omega kit......1200+ hp in street trim. GOAT! -------------------- Toyo'd, Eibach'd, Kayaba'd & BEAMS'd :D

Jordan, I do have a couple of unopened propane cans for your little grill, so fueling these bad boys shouldn't be a problem

Looking ahead at the forecast, I'm seeing a 30% chance of scattered thunderstorms, and 79°. Zach, I think we could take advantage of the wet conditions and have a little drifting contest.
