May 6, 2006 Supra Meet in Greenwood, IN

[Jspec7m88]

Yeah, it was awesome to finally meet everyone. Everybody post up some videos and pictures! Show allthe losers that didn't come what they missed out on.

I got to Greenwood at 10AM yesterday...and didn't get home until about 3AM this morning. Talk about a long day...BUT FUN! We definately will be making this a more common thing (as far as meets go).

Matt, what did ya cut out so early for? You missed some very nice dyno pulls.

I caravanned in with Doug (Black Mk4), James (MSB Mk4) and rode shotgun with Jim (Red Mk3). All from Dayton. The ride out was fun and it was nice to see a large group of Supras.

Congrats again Alan!

Got tired of waiting/trying to find the place. Had things to do other than stand around waiting forever for them to get a car strapped down correctly. The strap over the exhaust was the last straw for me, if whoever was strapping the car down was that lax on a 30 hp car or so, imagine how crappy they would strap a <200hp car down. Plus, since we were running about 2 hours late before we even got there, I figured I would just call it a day.

Yeah that was crazy then you did that nasty burn out. That was awesome, I love that car. It was a good meet, it was nice meeting all of you guys.

Shane, All the good footage of your car was caught on Bryan (dsmlaserawd92)'s cam. He needs to get that stuff put on his PC so we can ALL see the good footage of the entire meet! +1 for Midwest Supra's! Awesome meet!!!

MSL was jankey. I expected nothing more than that.

I asked one of the guys that was working the dyno what was wrong with the green mk4. He said it was running lean. The kid adds that he thinks the rings lands are on the way out. Rings lands.. are you friggen kiddin me??? Rings lands are either good or not. No in between. I would not let those fools touch my car.

I do hope no one local is thinking of taking their car over to them for anything. I have other horror stories regarding their "shop".

 

[Jspec7m88]

Well to my regards, I have friends that take their car there frequently for tuning and what not...I doubt I would let them "tune" my car because I don't have that type of trust in them...but for dynoing...I don't really have a problem with it. Besides taking their precious time, it was good for me considering nobody paid. (at least I didn't see anyone pay). Marc is a good guy but I don't know about some of the guys that work there... Oh well. It was still a fun day to get everyone gathered up. Hopefully, we can have a bigger and better meet for next time.

Sounds like it was a good meet. Hope to be there next time.

i added a video me and 92turbo4life made on our way home. Its MOV003 62.MPG

 

[Turbo. Targa. Life.]

Nice vid! Great angle--was funny watching whoever run for the camera though lol

 

[Eriol]

D'oh! I'm pissed -- I set my camera to take pics in medium resolution mode, and it took 2 pics that way. All the rest of the pics I took of the meet were at 640x480 resolution.

I uploaded some stuff in the /eriol directory on that necro-inc site. I particularly recommend the movie "MVI_0134.AVI" -- it's a flyby video that shows just how hard Al's car pulls.

I'll create a hyperlink when it finishes uploading.

 

[Eriol]

It was good to meet everybody, though! We had a pretty good turnout.

Thanks to all the people who drove from remote parts to make it -- hope everybody made it home ok.

 

[87CandyBlueT]

Good pics, and awesome fly-by video.

 

[Eriol]

My fly-by video is still a ways off from being uploaded... I'm only getting 52k/sec up, for some reason.

Thanks for providing the hosting space, though! I was wondering how I was going to make the movies available.

 

[Eriol]

Damn... it's down to 36k/sec now.

Al's flyby is... EDIT: DONE! The address is http://www.necro-inc.net/MKIII/eriol/MVI_0134.AVI

MVI_0132.AVI - walking around the red widebody
MVI_0134.AVI - riding in Al Jordan's car *recommended*
MVI_0174.AVI - red widebody on the dyno

I'm sitting here with a flashlight on my shoulder shining on my laptop screen because my whole LCD blew out on my screen so I can hardly see anything...it sucks..but..once I get it fixed, I'll upload some videos...

So next meet...

Little more organized, and I say we meet somewhere and just hang out, have a cookout and hit up a "local" dragstrip...

I'd be willing to host a meet here at my place... we have a huge open field out behind our house to park in, a 2 bay garage if anyone needed it (if you couldn't find the tool you needed, you shouldn't even be around a car *or whatever he says*), a pool... thats about all the +'s I can think of... Oh, and just about any spare parts that anyone could need/want *mkII and mkIII only though* :icon_bigg

The bad news, it's about an hour south of Indy *think IRP* and about 90 mins or so west of Edgewater Raceway (my personal fav) 90 mins from Muncie Raceway *never been to it, but it's another option*

I'm just throwing it out there... if enough people showed interest, we could always cook up a hog :naughty:
