March 8th KY Meet, One of the Largest Yet!

Post by **theTony** » Tue Mar 11, 2003 4:17 pm

Beach Bend Meet; Bowling Green, KY, March 8th

This was by far the largest meet yet for the Kentucky area NICO members! Not only were there the most NICO members in attendance ever for a Kentucky meet, there were many other local car enthusiast there with a great many members from Louisville Streets in attendance. This event was sponsored by Full Spool Performance and had rented out the entire ¼ track at Beach Bend for the entire day. The weather could not have been more perfect, sunny in the lower 70’s with a breeze. NICO had representatives from many states in attendance: Kentucky, Indiana, Iowa, Ohio, South Carolina, Georgia, and Tennessee to just name a few. The weekend for many began on Friday as many members headed to Bowling Green to be there bright and early for Saturday morning. EZCheese15 and Daunttless drove down to Louisville from Cedar Rapids, Iowa on Friday along with repo man, Cold_Zero and Simmsled from Indianapolis. They stayed with palmerwmd that night after he just drove in from Florida with his new 94 Q45t! We visited OneFastStanza Friday evening as he was working on installing new headers for the meet but a stripped O2 sensor prevented him from making the meet because there wasn’t one to be found for an ’02 Sentra Spec-V. Fortunately we were all there to help out nonetheless.

How many NICO Administrators and Moderators does it take to remove an O2 sensor from stock headers? The answer is seven…

Four to hold it down and attempt to budge it: repo man, Cold_Zero, Simmsled and EZCheese15.

One to wonder if all this extra help is really a good idea: OneFastStanza

One to take the pictures: TonyVQ

One to stand there and laugh at everyone: Daunttless.

At any rate it was too bad OneFastStanza couldn’t make it but he met us all at the Louisville pre-meet to video us all leaving. There were over 30 cars caravanning down from Louisville Saturday morning and as you can expect, we were not without law enforcement intervention! Four Louisville Streets members were pulled over by a Kentucky State Trooper just south of Elizabethtown. All were sighted with speeding 90+ and racing on a public interstate. Ouch. It was here that the trip took a “Cannonball Run” feel to it as it was imagined that Kentucky Troopers were on the look out for the many heavily modded cars speeding down I-65, impossible to try to catch us all!!

The day got better and better as everyone arrived and we all were able to get in multiple runs. All of us enjoyed pizza for lunch compliments of Dauntless. The entire day was spent there and some of us enjoyed a nice dinner at Montana Grille after a great day of racing. After that, many of us partied into the wee hours (or as long as we could) at the motel!

It was a great, great time! Everyone is aready looking forward to the next one this summer. Be on the look-out if you want to attend, I am guessing it will be around June!

Here is the "official" list of attendees. I am sure I have missed some so e-mail me if I have and will add your screen name to the list!

i enjoyed the meet everyone, thanks for making it a great day. even tho my car ran like a 3 legged dog with one eye and arthritis, i had a fun time none the less, especially when i drove Torry's Spec V and went off-roadin in Bud's WRX. WOW!!!!!!

Post by **darkeagle** » Tue Mar 11, 2003 4:17 pm

Hopefully by the next meet or when I get to attend again I'll have me a nice 240, which I'm still on the look out for. I've found a very nice one in Rutherford county, TN but the guy is asking way to much. But I hope I can say I'll be at one of the meets with a 240 sometime.

I rode up with Mark leaving my Laser home which a couple ask me if I drove it or not.

I didnt talk to many at the meet but I say I will next time for sure. Nice meeting you all the ones I met and cya again at the next meet I go to.

Hey, at least you've still got a sweet 240. I'm in limbo right now, but had a great time nonetheless! Riding down to BG from Louisville with Fred in his new Q was a trip.

Didn't you know 80mph was slow in a Q?

Great pics! I think we just about covered it!

Post by **audtatious** » Tue Mar 11, 2003 4:17 pm

Great pix. Since I was having problems with my digi, friends of mine took two rolls, mostly from the starting line

When those are developed, I'll scan them in and pass them on...

I was able to get a couple of pix though:

Check-in:

My 1st race of the day. Close one. My 14.908 vs 15.146...

Post by **Speeddoctor** » Tue Mar 11, 2003 4:17 pm

Great pics!!! It killed me to see ya'll having some much fun and to see all of those beautiful Nissans and Infinitis. I was drooling! It is also nice to see my point proven that Nissan and Infiniti folk do mix well. Were those girls into the cars or just along for the ride?

I just about died when I saw that Q45 with that trick nitrous system!!!! What kind of sick speed freak would do that?

Better yet, what kind of person would buy it? :pface he he

Post by **sultan** » Tue Mar 11, 2003 4:17 pm

the kind of sick speed freak with a skyline? the front bumper of the Q looks good without a license plate. where's all the plastic covers in the engine bay, though?edit: the kind of sick speed freak putting a VG30ET in an M30?

There were girls there with their own cars. Civic Hatch, Lexus Sc200, Beatiful VW (I think there were 2 that girls brought) There were also a handfull of girls that came up with there guys. Either way, fun fun.

Post by **darkeagle** » Tue Mar 11, 2003 4:17 pm

So glad I dont have to worry about parents. Well my mom but she always let me do what I want as long as I done something in return and errands for her.

Worked like a charm thru the teenage years.

Hehe...funnily enough my parents don't seem to care too much what I do, so long as I'm not racing LOL

Post by **darkeagle** » Tue Mar 11, 2003 4:17 pm

My mom hates racing. I said if I didnt race in KY I would take my car to the drag strip and race it there. She didnt like that too well, then said if I do get my car fixed up more. lol But I"m soon to be looking to get out of the hosue for good this year. Then it wont matter.

Post by **darkeagle** » Tue Mar 11, 2003 4:17 pm

I've got a shot of that Dodge Ram truck racing that car. lol The truck ran 85mphs and the car still beat it.

Post by **audtatious** » Tue Mar 11, 2003 4:17 pm

What was the car? I think I was the first to race it in my Max. Man, that thing belched some serious black smoke!!

Post by **darkeagle** » Tue Mar 11, 2003 4:17 pm

The car cant see in the pic what it is, but it was the white small 4door with a black hood. If that reply is refering to what I posted??
