I think the ohio ranks are minimal

[kurt95gt]

I think your right
I've only seen 5 real active members an 3of them joined this month

But hey guess well just have to figure out a good time for the 3 of us

[Nh92784]

I'm up for it. :-)

[ricochet1490]

I'm up for it. :-)

Dude! you have a really clean vert! I'm actually loving that wood panel look too! Very clean. Nicely done.

[kurt95gt]

An then there was 4 lol
Love the very BTW

OK guys any suggestions on when an where
Might be good for everyone to meet

[kurt95gt]

The only thing I only for sure is we should plan for a Saturday or Sunday. In a town thatched some good eats or a park an well have a potluck

[kurt95gt]

Dakota said Weston Ohio has a beautiful lake we could meet at
Said it's around an. Hour from Columbus an Cincinnati

[dakotahwyatt]

There's a scrap yard by me with a clean black hatch you could get parts off of an wouldn't need to repaint

[kurt95gt]

Dakota has a parts car too so might be able to hook ya up with some cheap parts too

[dakotahwyatt]

Dakota has a parts car too so might be able to hook ya up with some cheap parts too

Lol thanks Kurt lol

[kurt95gt]

so would everyone be up for a meet around the end of february beganing of march as long as the weathers giod?
and would the lake in welston Ohio work for everyone

[Nh92784]

I'm up for it. :-)

Dude! you have a really clean vert! I'm actually loving that wood panel look too! Very clean. Nicely done.

Thanks! It's actually factory, and real wood even. I'm in the process of reconditioning it now.

I'm in Cincy, but I vote for somwhere central to all of us, maybe around Columbus. Because, let's be honest, Ohio isn't the most exciting state to drive through.

Nick

[kurt95gt]

yes that's true
so would columbus work for everyone
its really up to you guys im willing to drive just about anywhere in Ohio
Dakota start naming off good places around columbus!!!

[dakotahwyatt]

There is a nice park that I know of that mite work its probably 10 min from were I live lol

[kurt95gt]

Anyone else have any input on time date or place
so far we got 2 spots

the lake an the park



wife just mentioned maybe meet at like a buffalo wild wings or maybe columbus hooters (I swear she said it not me)
so those are some other options

I've always loved that wood look, even like the wrapping. I thought about buying a kit to wrap my plastic in like that. The fact that it's factory makes that even more awesome...... and what do you mean not that many places to drive in ohio?! You guys just don't live in the right parts of the state. It's flat where you are. Where I am it might as well be the swiss alps in comparison lol. Look on your maps for St Rt. 56. It goes from London, OH clear to Athens. As you get east of circleville the roads start winding up, and as you get into hocking hills south of columbus its a drive clear to athens. A favorite of mine to be honest. I know that's not a meet up place, but I was just arguing my point. On a side note, end of feb might be tough for me. College.... Senior year...... very busy. But if you guys want to plan it, I'll see what I can do about making it.

[kurt95gt]

well let's atleast get one thing straight lol
is columbus good for everyone?

[dakotahwyatt]

wife just mentioned maybe meet at like a buffalo wild wings or maybe columbus hooters (I swear she said it not me)

Idk were we meet honestly

[Nh92784]

I vote for the lake at Wellston.

OK, so there are some good driving roads in Ohio, but only in the southern part. I drive up to Michigan a couple times a year and one you get north of Dayton, it's all farmland. And Hocking Hills is pretty nice, that could be a good place to meet if it weren't in an extreme corner of the state.

What about mid-March? That's the next time I have a weekend off. I can get time off in Feb though if we get a date picked out.

[ricochet1490]

lol all that is my corner of the state dude. I'm a proponent of St Rt. 555 , awesome road. And St RT 56 that goes west out of athens and ends up in London Ohio. That road for about an hour west of athens is one of my all time favorites. Exhaust noises heard echoing out of the rock cliffs and caves of hocking hills as that road hits the back side thereof..... outstanding. Given that I go to OU and live near Marietta, haha..... I know the Southern part of the state pretty well. Hocking hills is the closest to columbus for good roads though. You won't get any closer.

There are some pretty good roads around here too. I think once you are north of the Ohio River Valley it all goes to flat straight grid like highways.

[cjh4l22]

I also live in Cincinnati and would be willing to do some driving for a meet. Just depends on when/where and how much notice I've got. Oh, and if they car is up to it.

[kurt95gt]

Id be down for hocking hills ive never been therecbut ive heard its nice
Dakotah is too

Im cool with anywhere from last weekend of feb through the middle of march

[kurt95gt]

Bump

[cjh4l22]

I know Kyle (96stgreendemon) is located just south of Cincinnati, OH in Kentucky country lol
w/his sick 3rd gen 3sgte swap

[kurt95gt]

Well i kno im the only one up this far that is coming for sure so i could come down that way no problem
Dakotahs celi blew up so im soon to be the proud owner of his 94 gt

[d3ath2009]

I would love to get in on this!! And I say the lake in Wellston is a great idea bc its right in my backyard. Hence, I know most of the fun to drive backroads in that area . I'm about as far south in OH as you can get, and Columbus is a 2 hr drive for me if I don't take my chances on a ticket. between me and ricochet, I think we could have the whole south eastern corner of the state covered pretty well for known good roads.

This post has been edited by d3ath2009: Jan 26, 2012 - 8:36 AM

[kurt95gt]

WEll what does everyone else think
That puts us back to atleast 4 people
Im up for where ever works for everyone else.

[ricochet1490]

haha for sure! SE ohio is on lockdown! haha. Richee3 is coming to help me build one weekend... prolly the end of march. He'll have his BEAMS swap with him. Maybe plan around that? It'll be my spring break lol

[d3ath2009]

^ if its spring break for u, then its spring break for me too.. i also go to OU

[kurt95gt]

Yep im voting we go whete ever richee3 is gonna be i wanna see that beams in person
Maybe if everything goes right an i bust a$$ i can have the 1mz ready by then
All i need to do yet is snd out harness an get the clutch an make the mount! An a few lityle things but
Ill have the money to order everything in about a week

[Nh92784]

I'm ok with where ever, but my weekend availability is the 16th-18th or the 24th-26th of March, so I vote for one of those weekends. And I totally want to see richee3's BEAMS too.

[ricochet1490]

good deal guys. March 18-25 is spring break. So looks like either weekend would work. Death - is your car red? Park it by the train depot on occasion?

[kurt95gt]

Eather shpuld work for me

[kurt95gt]

I could do the 24th for sure

[96stgreendemon]

I'm in the fairfield Hamilton area... And have a hood for sale lol

[96stgreendemon]

I'm in as long as I have notice

[d3ath2009]

mine is red with a black spoiler, but its always parked at the fairgrounds.. ive seen another red one around here though

[kurt95gt]

Now i have to get the 1mz done lol

[richee3]

I'll probably have to trade some days at work but I'll see what I can do to make it. March 24th, time? Exact meeting place? What will we be doing? Cookout, cruise, photoshoots, etc?

[kurt95gt]

Seems like march 24 worls for everyone
I was thinking. Photoshoot cruze cookout/ potluck
Timevan place is tbd

[ricochet1490]

mine is red with a black spoiler, but its always parked at the fairgrounds.. ive seen another red one around here though

ah ok. There is a red one that had a black bumper front and back that they resprayed in their garage you could tell.

There is a silver one driving around but it looks pretty good. There is a black one that parks at the University Commons (where I live) and of course my red and white one.

The 24th is a saturday. Dan, how many days do you get off in a row?

I've got a portable gas grill and some other nice stuff that we could use. It's a shame that I won't have the RHD done cause we would have a GT2 a Beams a V6 a Beams RHD a 5sfe..... the only motor we'd be missing is the old 7a at that point lol. That would be engine swap heaven lol

This post has been edited by ricochet1490: Jan 26, 2012 - 9:24 PM

[richee3]

I get 3 days off one week, 4 the next week. I invariably work Saturdays though, so I would need to convince someone to trade me days so I could be there.

[ricochet1490]

even if you can't make the meet, let me know when you have those days so i can make sure the car is ready to swap subframes over lol or at least something else awesome haha

[ricochet1490]

i stand corrected!! death has a 7a! this could be epic.... imagine the hood shots?!

[richee3]

I definitely have Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday off. Possibly Wednesday. I'll look into trading days so I can be off Friday-Wednesday at the very least. Whether I can make it to the meet or not, I'll definitely be up there for your Spring Break to lend a hand and check the old girl out. If I come, it'll be me and the lady.

So what's the official attendance list? And out of who is attending, what will everyone be bringing? Since I'm a maybe, I'm hesitant to bring something that will be necessary such as buns or burgers or something. If I can lock in my attendance, I'll change what I can bring.

Also, as for a place to meet, our Starved Rock meets have always gone over well due to the fact that we hold them in a state park with a picnic shelter with a grill, trashcan, bathroom, etc. Not that this meet needs to be at a state park, but you guys get the idea. Just some food for thought.

[CELL_PROTOTYPE_X]

I live in Columbus. Put me down as a maybe...I might end up selling my ride this spring but I'm still debating .

[96stgreendemon]

I'll e there

[richee3]

So the official date is March 24th or just tentatively? Once we lock all the details down I'll start asking around about trading days to see if I can make it.

[ricochet1490]

I would say we should go ahead and make it official

[kurt95gt]

24th works for me

Wheres some good meet spots on that end of ohio to meet trace?

[96stgreendemon]

Good enough for me!

[loucelica]

Hopefully ill have my new 6g together and ready im from louisville but am more than willing to make the drive. Complete rebuild 7a complete rebuild on tranny new paint soon. And some more mods coming soon as well

[cjh4l22]

you can likely count me in. still breaking in the 3s but it should be ready for the trip by then.

[kurt95gt]

Sweet more people

[kurt95gt]

Sweet more people

[hatchy_gt-s]

I'm down for a meet, hopefully this 1 will work out it's been tried many of time w/great failure

This post has been edited by hatchy_gt-s: Feb 6, 2012 - 3:34 PM

[richee3]

As soon as an official location is set, I'll do my best to drop in. Turnout should be alright. I don't see this one falling through. At least I hope it doesn't.

[ricochet1490]

Chillicothe / Tar Hollow area?

It's semi central and within proximity to the driving roads.... if people want to experience driving roads.

[kurt95gt]

Sounds good to me
Any good meet. Spots.
Cuz i know ill need an address to find where were meetin at

[cjh4l22]

how about near columbus (it is the capital...) or mid-ohio sports track?

[ricochet1490]

With quite a few people coming from Cinci and KY and the south part of the state, I was just calling that out because it seemed to be more central to our population base..... we don't have any clevelanders or Toledo people so I was just trying to average out the driving for people while still maintaining good driving roads.
But we can do whatever.

[kurt95gt]

Im up for where ever

[d3ath2009]

farther south of Columbus would definitely be better driving roads. Really, anything north of Chillicothe is flat, thus no good driving roads.

[ricochet1490]

this

[kurt95gt]

Welk you guys seem to know the area the best wheres a good park or something in the area for us to have the meet at?

[ricochet1490]

That's why I suggested Tar Hollow. But anything could work.

[kurt95gt]

Oh ok guess i need to read better
anyone against tar hollow
could you post a address for there trace?

[ricochet1490]

http://maps.google.com/

lol

Maybe Ross Lake beside Chilicothe idk - someone suggest something

[kurt95gt]

Looks good to me lol
But ill need an address
I hat google maps

[d3ath2009]

Sounds good to me, but Trace will have to take the lead on this one. I don't know many of the roads that far north. If we decide to go south, I know plenty of great roads to drive, especially towards Shawnee Forest and Wayne National Forest.

[kurt95gt]

I vote tar hollow or the nat forest

[d3ath2009]

If you want Natl Forest, I could take everybody the back way from Jackson down to the river and back up 93 through Wayne Natl Forest to Jackson. Then if we still wanna do some driving, I'm sure Trace would know of a few up that way. Just throwing out some options.

[ricochet1490]

That sounds good. Jackson is only 30 min from Chillicothe. We could prolly work something nice out....

[kurt95gt]

So march 24 in Jackson ohio?

[kurt95gt]

I could go for eather
Tar hollow is 2hours an 30 minute
Wayne forest is 2 hours 36 minutes lol
So my drive dont change much eather way

[cjh4l22]

all of that is 2.5hours plus from me in Cincinnati.

[d3ath2009]

all of that is 2.5hours plus from me in Cincinnati.

thats if you do the limit... decent speed, 23 is an hour and a half from cincy. and jackson is 15-20 min from 32-23 junction.. so thats 1.75 hours plus the time for you to get to 32 from wherever you are in cincy

This^
I can make it to the cincinatti outer belt from Belpre Ohio (right across the river from Parkersburg WV) in about 3 hours. I can be just north of Louisville in just over 4 hours. My mom lives there. Athens is 35 min from belpre, Jackson is 40 min from Athens, You're likely no more than 2 hours.....closer to 1 hr 45 min. of course this depends on where you live in Cincy.

[kurt95gt]

So witch one do we want to go with

[d3ath2009]

How about meet in Chilli and take a drive down to the river, then back up to Jackson.
Possible Route

[ricochet1490]

enticing....

[kurt95gt]

Im up for it if everyone else is

[loucelica]

Im not too familliar with ohio where would we be meeting at first?

[kurt95gt]

Thats a good question
Then how far is it to where were actually having the meet?

[richee3]

I think this should be set up the same way as our Midwest meet originallly was- find where the majority of people are coming from, then find a location semi-local to that.

[kurt95gt]

Most everyone is in southern ohio
So the places mentioned should work the best

[cjh4l22]

Most everyone is in southern ohio
So the places mentioned should work the best

really? because I would think we'd want something closer to Cincinnati or Dayton. or on 71 between Cincinnati and Columbus. that'd be further south?
Just a thought, I'm still down for pretty much whatever.
