DC Area Spring Meet 2007
Re: DC Area Spring Meet 2007
For those who were wondering, I am fine, although I was in class in the building next to this all and have had a lot of classes in Norris. I have lost a few fellow civil engineering students in Norris 206 as it was the first room to be shot up. Lots of mixed emotions going on as it all unfolds, but wouldnt wish this situation upon anyone. Just pray for those families and friends who are dealing with these senseless confusing tragedies.
Unfortunately, Im gonna be in Panama City, FL from May 12 to 19th. So that sucks that I wont be able to make the BBQ unless the date changes. Ill check back. Take care.

Re: DC Area Spring Meet 2007
^rofl. so far including me its a total of like 4-5 pplz having car issues or dead.
anyways for the meet we may need to reschedule since most will prob b celebrating mothers day and even if some pplz turn out it wont b much, i think. the following week may b better but we can always discuss this. just something i wanted to throw out.

Re: DC Area Spring Meet 2007
I may be going to Lake Anna for Memorial Day weekend, but dont plan around me.....and BTW, the K-series is running strong other than a slight rattle in my resonator and a vertical radiator support that I busted months ago.....I had it on the Blue Ridge Parkway in the New River Valley this weekend heading to a winery and was following two new Vettes around some fun lengths of road...Good Times.....thanks for all the prayers and thoughts for the VT community, all I pray for now is a smooth transition and some normalcy in our campus life here (50+ news vans gets old quick).....

Re: DC Area Spring Meet 2007
You can't keep me down, son! I plan to be up and running by the end of next week. If orders come through, the "tentative" report date is June 4th but I'd love to chill. I will have tools to do anything anyone needs to their car. Headgasket? No problem. Motorswap? No problem, hehe.
Now I'm just waiting for my overbore slugs and the machine shop to finish the block, and my head is getting worked over now too. Its a matter of getting parts and finishing this bitch off.
Re: DC Area Spring Meet 2007
well hopefully this bad luck of ours goes away and get our cars bak in normal, excellent, and working order. i plan on having my suspension and brake stuff done by next friday.
Re: DC Area Spring Meet 2007
Oh, the Vettes could have man-handled me, but I wasnt trying to play with them, just follow them to the winery. It was obvious that they were enjoying the roads as much, if not more, than I was. Great day I must say!! Oh yeah, Im also going through my DLC and ECU wiring to try to pass emissions. But my car runs fine just a diagnostics output problem.

Re: DC Area Spring Meet 2007
Cant... rob said he's got a wedding, I hope to have a motor in and out of the car which means edwin is likely also out.
Next week is memorial day, which i have no objection to, the following weekend I have a wedding, then the week after that is ITR expo IIRC. Which makes June 17, which is Fathers day, then hyperfest at summit point, then my birthday (this is possible), then WMHM7, and then the following weekend I have a take home final to do.
So any time after July 20 is good for me
Who's free on a tuesday?
In other news, now I got the crank sensor error of death. This ****in motor is gonna fall right out from under me.

Saturday is a bit of a big party, so you can come hang out even if you dont want to race. I think there's drifting, etc....
