Hello everyone!!! Its been awhile, we should plan a big MN meet in spring sometime, and let me know ASAP so I can ask off from work and get all my school stuff done! I'm kinda sad mnnissan is no more, someone should start it back up, but I have minimal computer knowledge ( as far as setting that stuff up anyways ) let me know guys!!!! I'm stuck up in Duluth, needless to say there isn't much up here....

Oh BTW I'm also working a project of my own.... TT 2+2!!!!

Yup, sucks about MNNissan, but it died due to lack of use- I think that says something.I'm all for a spring meet, though. Maybe I'll start a new thread soon.

Hey for anyone in the Twin Cities area, there is a huge car show this upcoming Saturday in Lino Lakes. It's for all cars, all makes, all models. It's being hosted by Ricekiller.com and is to promote and support a new track facility that will hopefully be built in the Lino Lakes area. The new track has already gotten support from MNDOT and other government bodies, and just has a few more hurdles to cross with local government, but it's almost there. By coming out to this event, you'll be helping to show that that there is a market and need for this track facility in the Twin Cities. The track they are trying to promote will be a 4-lane 1/4 mile (which will be the 2nd one in existence, next to ZMAX Dragway in Concord, NC).

Please come out and support the event. Free show from 11-4pm this Saturday. Registration is from 10-11am. If you have facebook, here is the invite:
http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=118071868250485

Make sure to invite anyone and everyone you know in the automotive sport. Once again, this is for ALL types of vehicles, and is purely to support the future track facility in Lino Lakes. For those without Facebook, the address is Running Aces 15201 Zurich St, Columbus, MN. Once again, that is THIS Saturday, Oct. 16th. See you there!!

There were over 2000 cars there Saturday with only 2 weeks planning. How much more stepping up do you expect?

Well the show was at Running Aces. I think the track project is supposed to be near there somewhere. But if everything goes through as planned, supposedly MNDOT has already approved funding to make an exit just for the track.

oh man, the system change threw me off my subscribed status for this thread. totally missed out on the Lino Lakes thing.
Anyway, I'm hoping I'll have my car back to street-worthy status in June. I've got too many shows to get it done sooner. After that be on the lookout for my red and black hatch.

For you and for anyone else in the twin cities area, if you aren't already you should be coming out to the Monday night meets hosted by Ricekiller.com. Last year we were averaging nearly 300 cars a week by the end of summer. This year is going to be even bigger now that the word is out.

RKC is for all cars, all makes, all models. Which is great, because its one of the few places you have hot rod guys chatting with import guys, euro guys, exotics, muscle, etc. It sure would be nice to see some NICO representation there though.

If you come out there, look for me. I have a white Celica All-trac. (I used to have a gray G37 coupe but sold it about 6 weeks ago).

Meet location is here (change of location from last year):
Old Luther Honda
7 5th Ave North
Hopkins, MN

Meets are every Monday from 7-10pm and start on May 2nd this year. Hope to see you there!

I want to make it to at least 2 or 3 before I move north. The rally car should be roadworthy again in the next couple weeks. I would like to get to 1 or 2 with it, once I have some vinyl on the car, otherwise I will be riding the bike.

Well, I'm pretty sure my car will not be done by that time. Damn. But you'll head down to the cities every now and again, right? You may want to see the next fringe show I'm working on- an Elizabethan retelling of the movie "Aliens"...
