March 11 /12 Dyno/Race weekend in Ga
 

Hey everyone! Hope you all had a good Thanksgiving! :)
I know that most of you already know about the March 11th and 12th weekend in Ga. But for those of you that don't, it is going to be an AWESOME weekend! :D
I have created some pages on our website with all the information on the event. Granted now, they are not finished, but just have basic information at the moment.
Take a look at www.sevwa.com for the info.

CU there :D

The website has been updated with information reguarding all events planned. Host hotels have been listed also for both Dyno Day and Silver Dollar.

If you wish to particpate in any classes/Dyno for the weekend events, pre-registration forms are on the website. Please look them over and send them in when you can. This will save lots of time on show day! :)

thanks

I might put the Bus on the dyno. The heads are in Cali getting some bigger valves. And I am going to add a mixture adjustment knob in the cab. :D
At the meeting we had tonight we thought that we could help with the drag day as well as the dyno day. Let us know what you might need for help Kathy.

We discussed it at the meeting last night and if you'll (Kathy) let us know exactly what you need help with....we're game.

That is wayyyy cool guys! We can use everybit we can. ;)
Well for Dyno Day, the basics. Now since I haven't physically done it before, only been a spectator, that is where I need your help. I will have all the paperwork done and ready to go on that day. So between you and the BK we need to figure out how many we need to get the cars in line, do your raffles (which I hope to come up with quite a few), BK do the food, etc.
You all just talk it over and see who can be there early Saturday or mid afternoon, then maybe switch off. Hate for anyone to be stuck all day doing something and not get to enjoy the event! :)
As for Sunday at the RACE. This is going to be one HUGE event! :D I do beileve there is going to be non-stop action on the track that day! As for help there, I will need folks to help get folks in the right places. We will have areas for the Street CHallenge cars, Pro Stocks, bracket racers and the show/swap area. Now some of these guys will already be in place, if they came in the night before and most of the racers should know where to go. Swap meeters will hopefully come in early like they should, so they can get set up before the crowd comes. I will need a few judges also, since I will be stuck at the table all day, I will not be able to get out to much and will depend on my volunteers. The more we have, the faster it gets done. I am hoping that some of the West Ga guys can assist as well, but if you worked on Sat at Dyno Day and just want to enjoy race day, I completely understand.
You all just let me know who can assist on either day and we will compile a list. Would rather have more then enough, then not enough. That way everyone can enjoy it!
If you do help us out on Sunday, you do not have to worry about your gate fee. Same goes for Saturday at Dyno Day.
If you all have any questions, please let me know.
Thanks guys!

I would make a bad judge. Every car that came on a trailer or looks like it came on a trailer (tail pipe too lean, tie down strap marks) -10 points. No dust under the car, -10. Tire dressing on the tread of the tire, -10.
Cars that are driven or look like they were driven, +10 on everything. :agree:

Amen to that my VKG brother!!

Kathy, I can help with pretty much anything the day of the Dyno Day. I'm not sure I'll be at the drag race event though...it's tax season ya know.... :eek:

Thanks you two!
Beth, you can help me at the registration table at Dyno Day if you wish.

You all just let me know who would like to volunteer and we will go from there. I just do not want you all to miss out on the show Sunday. If we have enought of you, then we can take turns at stuff.

Man, that's the kinda judgin' I need. :D

I wish I could go. The parameter of the dates (first half of the month) would work but I just don't think I could afford taking that Friday and Monday off for the commute. :(

I hope this is an annual shindig.

Kathy, I can help with Dyno Day. Race day is an unknown at this point. Just let us know what you need. Time won't allow Me to commit to planning activities, but can do "day-of" shuff.

Anyone that can help either of the days is greatly appricated! ;) Just let me know. Hopefully I will get some giveaways for Dyno Day for you all. If you have any access to businesses to get some, please do. The more the better! :D I am just getting wooden plaques done for Dyno Day. Don't want to have to get anyone to spend their time making some, unless you really want to and have time to do it! :)
What are the trophies we need? Top HP, Top Torque........

UPDATE, We have 7 down for Dyno Day, keep them coming!

Andrew Strom 67 Bus
Joe Arbucci 67 Beetle 2276cc
Mel Bellwood 58 Beetle 2156cc
Eric Parkerson 63 Beetle 2187cc
Peter Sipsis 72 Super Beetle 2332cc
Peter Duffy 71 Beetle 2332cc
Charles Overton 64 Beetle

Many of these guys are also doing the Street Challenge, Pro Racing class and showing their VWs on Sunday at Silver Dollar! :wink:

*Kathy, I just added my stats next to my name :)

Ok Folks. Who is coming to the event? I think Zen, Beth, Nigle, Joe, Myself and Joel are on for it. It's getting c;ose so lets start to firm up our plans.

I know that Jake and I will be there on Saturday for sure. I may not make it the the race on Sunday....we'll just play that day by ear. I'm game to help Saturday though.

I think you're right Dave...we need to start getting our ducks in a row :)

Im not going to make it for the dyno day. i am going to make sunday's activities. as a few of my buds with race cars are coming down and i will be lending them a hand on raceday. my car will be there and i will be about. hope to see ya'll :D there

quack, quack. I am about the same as Beth. Wish you could make Dyno Day Tony. I'm hearing it will be a good picture taking day and the more GL's there the better. ;)

I think we should have a virtual chat sometime soon...

when is everyone available?
(I promise to be there :laugh: )

Let me know when the chat is and i will try my best to be there too!
Yes you are certainly correct about getting all our ducks in a row! :eek: I got so many things on my mind right now it is sad. :confused: Now if I can get Luci to sleep through the night so I can get some good :sleep: , I will be better!

The only downfall we have right now is that the Puerto Ricans will not be coming with their cars! Just a touch of bad luck on them all getting the cars together before time to ship. Hopefully we will see them later this year. Although a few of them are still going to make the trip as spectators and supporters!

Hope we'll see you there Tony!

Yeah Yeah Joe....we'll believe it when we see you log in :p

thanks to zen i may try to make the dyno day. its a little off the beaten path but i am going to leave ahead of my racer friends to make to sat events. i will not know until that day so everyone look for Laz on the trailer. :D

Kathy. With the lack of work from the BK folks (after crying about keeping their name on the bill), I think the goal of the VKG will be that you (the one who has done all the work) don't have to do anything on Dyno-Day but take care of you baby girl and watch. I plan on driving down to Reynolds Sun. morning unless we can camp at the track Sat night.

Well I certainly appricate that! ;) But I am there to get this done and will do everything that I can. Will have all paperwork ready for those going on the Dyno, which those that are already registered are ready. Since you all have done this before, I will be depending on you all (VKG & BKC) to help it run smoothly, which I know will happen.

Yes you can camp at the track Saturday night. There will be several racers staying there too, plus the VW Paradise and BRE Dragsters will probably make a pass Saturday night. So you get an extra treat before everyone else. Besides, if you are bringing your car, you can camp right behind it in your show car space. That way you aint got to worry about moving and I don't have to wake you at 7am to move! :sleep: I would like to park the show cars just as you all did before. If you remember Dave.....

This is going to be a crazy weekend....just glad all of this will be on tape, cause I will not get to see it all, with everything I got to do!

So, when does everyone want to have a virtual chat to discuss our duties for the day???? Maybe one Wednesday night soon???

Here is a list of those scheduled for Dyno Day so far
http://www.sevwa.com/dyno_day_participants.htm
9 so far
We still have spots open, so just let me know. Even if I can't get the money till that day, I would like to know if you want to do it and get you in a time slot.

That split has a 2332 EFI. Same ECU/displacement as me. I've got Superflo's, he has Comp Elim's. Both dual TB's.

Should be interesting. :)

you guys want to have the chat on Wed, March 1st?

I can't do the 1st, unless its after 11:30pm.

March 6th?

Pretty much any Wed night is fine with me.....

Looks like all the BKC will be doing is cooking food for lunch and lining up the cars before they get on the Dyno. So....that leaves A LOT more to be done. I guess we need to get Kathy in on this meeting to dole out responsibilities because it sounds like there is plenty left to do :eek:

Sounds good to me. I have lots to do on my days off but will try to make it.

I'm looking forward to meeting you all. I'll be in Atlanta for a trade show the week after and will come in early to check out all the dubs. It would suck to show up in a rental car, so is there anyone from Atlanta with room to bum a ride?

See ya,
Bill

Cool Bill, look forward to seeing you here. :agree:

Maybe we should start getting a head count for Dyno Day.

I know :

Me
Dave
Zen
Tony
Joe

Anyone else?

So when are we on for a chat?
Want to make sure, so I can tend to Luci beforehand.
I will jot down things I think we need for DYno Day and Race Day, although, since I have never done a Dyno Day, I might miss something. I am sure the BKC will do other things for the event if we ask. Besides it does have their name on it! :eek: :D

Anyway, just clue me in and if you don't see me respond, drop me a line, Dave! :cool:

added myself

I think Nigel is going to make it and Bill K from the West Coast will be hangin' wiff us. :agree:

So are we chatting tonight?

I'm game...anyone else?
