I called Barley Hoppers to make sure our reservation still stood and told her that there may be more people. She said no problem and has moved us to the outside porch on the right side of the front door. The whole porch will be ours......

I am intchin' for a Guinness! Bless the gods, it's finally Friday.......If you Orlando people show up late, I may finish the keg off myself....

Since I'll be there early as well, just order the keg and get two straws...

Let's hope it cools of considerably before tonight.

epitrochoid,

Was the Guinness can large enough to hold all the oil blow-by from removing the line from the intake? I needed a quart old container for a full-tank session at Sebring.

I assume you were having the same oil seepage problem at the gasket near the MAP and resulting oil stain on the hood insulation...

Classy mod, though!

Guinness cans are better than bottles (widget-wise) but nothing beats a good pour. Let's hope they know how to pour or teach them if they don't...

See you tonight!

KY,

If you need a good shop:

Mid-county collision, Largo.

Only talk to Rick, the owner.

thanks, these guys do good work, and they will do the work I want (5 foot rule) for an amazing price, but being that they give me a good deal, sometimes they have to work me in around the other cars, and this time they didnt get a chance to paint it....so It will get done next week, not a big deal...just kinda makes you mad when the 1 thing you count on someone else to do doesnt get done....

That was a great meet, lots of cool new (to me) people. Hope we can all get together more often!

Now to get next month's set up I think Danny wanted to do something in or near Kissimmee, so maybe we'll do another Race Rock meet or something similar. I'm open to suggestions if you've got any!

Let's get the date going first. How does December 3rd sounds to everyone? I am trying to stay away from the Friday night traffic if I can.

I'll move this to the Monthly meet thread when the date is settled.

Yea last night was a blast. Prolly we could do a run in Dec. like we did before the rotor meet (to Cocoa through lake pikett). You would have loved it. I was the slowest that night. Epi and KY kicked azz

Hopefully Epi will have his car done by then.
Thoughts?

One idea for a more convenient location discussed last night was Lakeland. There is a restaurant downtown called Harry's that also has a front patio that faces streetside parking and the food is fantastic (New Orleans style).

Race Rock is an acceptable second choice for me.

Good to see all of you there last night.

Congrats and thanks to Mantis for organizing such a successful meet!

Well guys, you know it's a good meet when there are so many people that you can't see the end of the table. We really had a great time and were so surprised by the turnout (over 25 I think). I'm sorry I didn't get to meet everyone, but it was great to see so many 8s in one place.....

We are defiantely down for a meet next month. Or, if anyone is interested we could get a tech session together if there are any mods out there that someone may want to share.......or need help with......

I enjoyed seeing the Veilside and Mazdaspeed kits live.....very nice. Now it will be funny trying to match everyone's name to their screen names........

Still bummed about the Guinness being out........

Glad to have met fellow enthusiasts.......

Alright guys, 12/3 is good for me as of right now. Now to pick the location - I'm partial to Race Rock due to its location and how open they are to meets but I'm open to suggestions.
