SC 240 owners check in

We have 2 1/8 mile tracks in the Greenville area, Greer and Ware Shoals. I'm down with Frankie's too :P I gotta run my car sometime soon. I'm itching to see what it can do after all of the mods that I have done since I ran it last.

[PinsNNeedles]

I'm thinking of opening a performance shop, installing parts and tuning and such, since there isn't a REAL shop around here that does just that. Sure, Mean Street sells stuff, I've seen their installs.....half assed crap!! Anyway, gotta go to band practice!

half assed crap it may be, but i have seen many other shops w/ the same intentions as yours come and go (mainly due to lack of stock & having to wait on delivery time), but you have to remember that the majority of the cash in this area amongst people who "customize" their cars goes to absolute crap (flashing windshield squirters & whatnot). almost all of the people i know that build their own cars do so with parts off the 'net. granted there are definitely people who want to do their cars right & either don't have the mechanical inclination to do so theirselves and that is the sort of customer that you want, but due (probably) to the fact that MS has been around for a few years & can get parts & stuff done fairly quick, they get the business regardless of the quality..........jus my .02, and certainly not to dash your hopes (hell i would help, it would bring back memories of a friend of mines old shop).

as far as the drift event, that is pretty cool, i really would not have expected that here. i think i might just have to go out & see that. drop me an email @ [email protected] or im me @ Boggs3449 during the day & let me know what time all that is....

BTW...frankies in g-ville is fun for the slick track, i would also agree w/ somthing like that for a meet

[240Knightrider]

Ok thats planned then Frakies, I saw we meet up sometime around 11, 12ish in the frakies parking lot and grab something to eat somewhere and have fun with the carts. I still Say on April 3rd, maybe I can get a birthday party rate, since that day is my b-day. With cheap pizzas and crap. i dont know just a thought.

[240Knightrider]

Ill call that frankies tomorrow and check on rates, which frakies is it, Which road?

[240Knightrider]

I say we plan for frankies for this meet and a second one in the future we go to a track. That gives me time to set up a day for us at a track. I need everyones input on tracks that they know about.

1. Cooper River Strip-Moncks Corner

[PinsNNeedles]

shadyside in NC (just over the border)-1/8th & 1/4 (i believe), and the cleanest track i have ever seen

I know what you mean about MS. I would totally be willing to get parts for people, and possibly stock parts after a while. I just want to do installs and such to start off with. I'm planning on going to that drift event. I'll drop you an e-mail so we can work out a place to meet up or whatever.

I'm looking forward to meeting everyone!! Hope that the 3rd is a nice sunny day so we can have fun on that slick track!!

[240Knightrider]

so that means you are going

EVERYONE THAT IS GOING PLEASE EMAIL ME [email protected]

[240Knightrider]

Hey Greenville is way to far for me, a 6 hour round trip for this is to much for my car. I say we go to the Frankies in Columbia. Anyone down with that.

[PinsNNeedles]

ygm

[cory2081]

I'm down with that. I just have to know FOR SURE where and when so that I can plan ahead for it.

[PinsNNeedles]

pretty much the same here.

[240Knightrider]

Third of April. How does 11 12ish sound as a time to show up. or do you guys think we should meet later in the day.

[cory2081]

Those times sound good to me. I'll have to find where this Frankies is down there though, I don't hang in Cola much at all. Sounds cool though, how many are going?? Come on people!! lol

[PinsNNeedles]

i know from the greenville/spartanburg area, u take I-26>I20> harbison blvd. there are limited directions on their website http://www.frankiesfunpark.com

**edit** what time is that thing at mccallister? i have a couple more friends that aren't going to the spring break tuner bash that are interested in going

[cory2081]

it starts at 10:30 and goes til 4pm. It's limited to 60 cars in heats of 10. Looks like they changed some of the info since the other day. Anyway, should be interesting!!

[240Knightrider]

check out mapquest, use the address from frankies. We need 10 people or more for the group rate at frankies.

[240Knightrider]

do you guys just want to do the track or do you want to do the putt putt, and laser tags also.

[PinsNNeedles]

never been a big fan of putt putt,but laser tag is cool. assuming we are still talking about the one in Cola, i do not recall seeing a place for the laser tag the last time that i was there though, but then again i wasn't really looking for it.....

[cory2081]

So, how many people are going??

[240Knightrider]

1. Me2. PinsNNeedles3. Cory20814. hopefully more5. red3d2000 Thats it so far, I know of some guys down here who said they wanted to go but havent heard from them in 2 days.

[stickgoat]

Won't be able to make an April 3rd meet though as I'm going to an autocross in Laurens at the Michelen Proving Grounds...

[PinsNNeedles]

Another Columbia S14 here...

right on, u know anyone in team rush?

[stickgoat]

right on, u know anyone in team rush?

Yep. I know a few Rush guys and lots of Octane people.

Anyone else planning on that autox on the 3rd? I am really hoping to have the S14 out instead of the FC.

[cory2081]

Have any plans changed?? Still on for the 3rd in Columbia?? Anyone know of a place that may stock the Konig Imagine 17" wheel?? I hit a large object on the highway and damaged one of my wheels Discount tire said it will take 2-3 weeks to get one. I hate rollin on the stock wheels!!!!!

[240Knightrider]

Hey, no new changes. Still on for the 3rd in Columbia everyone is going to start to show up at 11. I dont know the best place to get that rim. there are a couple of places that I think have it down here, but I think you still have to order them.
