so i got there at 6 30, drove around the whole damn park, did not see u guys anywhere... what gives?

Holy crap man, you missed us literally by 10-15 minutes. I should have gotten your cell # to let you know if were were still going to be around. Several people got there around 2:30 so we were there for quite a while.

its cool bro, i was pretty tired from work anyways. plus i had ot get some food and sleep to ride 40 miles on my bike this morning.

 

[Smog2k]

It wasn't all me, you guys made it pretty easy since you'll all so damned agreeable! Really good to finally put some faces to names and see some good lookin' cars.

I think for the next meet we need to accommodate the folks that were driving 30 minutes to an hour to get to this one and organize something more out by them. Which could be fun for all of us in town to meet up and caravan out wherever (for some highway fun of course) (2thumbs)

Again, great to meet all of you, lots of fun and too much food.

Oh Kyle (blue Mazda6) posted pics, you guys probably didn't get the link

great pics and good turnout! i'm sorry that i wasn't there to represent the p5 population - looks like just about everything else was there! At least the mazda3 was reppin the wagon side of things for us... btw - love the silver kitted 8! looks very nicely done, very clean.

Yes we need to start thinking what we want to do for the next one. I can check with revline and see about a dyno day if we want one. Sadly its only two drive dyno, but MS6s can be made two wheel drive. Trust me I know. Or we can just go to the part again.

intercooler piping was ordered today.....last part.....i am down for a dyno day here very soon.

 

[freekwonder]

sweet. I take it your back from So Cal.?

I can talk to the owner of Revline, he as been doing a few dyno days so I know he doesn't mind. Depending on how many people dyno, it usually ends up being around $35-40 per person to get 3 runs.

 

[03promaz]

Nope Im still out here till the 10th....gotta love the sprint wireless card for my internet. I will be down to hit up the dyno when the turbo is on. My buddy is ordering a few more things for his Ion Redline so we would go too.

 

[freekwonder]

Sweet. Don't have to much fun out there.

 

[03promaz]

Yeah it really sucks out here, I was excited to get back just to be back, but now just excited to see my DaveB rings

Yes they do, and its a great shop, but somebody on another foru tried contacting them and they didn't sound interested in doing any dyno days.

so what all is hapning in KC???

 

[improte5]

so what all is hapning in KC???

from what i can tell from my perspective & the other club prez's here in KC:
our scene is dying a slow death. Everything has gone downhill... there's still really nice cars across the city but no one is doing anything together... no united scene of any kind except maybe some underground racing - but even that has died down incredibly... the older clubs are dying out and any young club that pops up disappears within a couple months...

Even within my club - most have moved on w/ their lives and stepped away from the scene... life in general sucks up all the money & motivation... I guess we're the 'old dogs' of the scene and the young people dont have the drive capacity or strength to unite and keep the scene alive & moving. We had a great scene for quite a few years - my club was running strong for 6 years...

man - this is depressing - sorry about that... just talking - didn't mean to sound all morbid & crappy.

I'm sure the scene where you're at is poppin... tell me about it.

 

[freekwonder]

It doesn't have to die.
