Slow is Fast

CATTES


After plenty of making GBS threads up the post horrible mechanical failures thread with Sponge! talking about blowing poo poo up with science and the rest of us rednecks wanting to come watch, we needed a place to organize that here.

I fully expect if we do manage to pull off a meet up, that I see poo poo exploding, get to see stupid cars (and kastiens MJ's ), and get to drink a gently caress ton of beer.

I'm thinking sometime this spring or summer on the weekend. I'm in anywhere as long as my Subaru doesn't explode.

I'll update this lovely OP with details and other notable crap.

I'm more bike oriented, but I think of myself as AI, and I'll be back home in VT this summer. Sadly, I'm going to miss my bike shop's first vintage race, but I'll advertise it here, since it has cars too:

Let's meet up in the parking lot by the local (Cambridge) Magic / nerd store, where every week I see a bunch of Subies (mostly STis) gather for some NASIOC thing. Seriously, what the hell could that be?

I'd love to meetup in Cambridge/Somerville/Brighton/Allston preferably someplace with a lot where people aren't going to smash into my Mustang left and right and beer is available.

PS: Don't assume because you see a lot of STIs over at a magic shop in Cambridge that it's some official NASIOC thing. For some reason nerds with money in New England love STIs and nerds with money are abundant in Cambridge for obvious reasons. It's silly how many nerdy guys I see rolling in WRXs.

I'm about equidistant between Boston and Providence

During the summer I usually go to Lowell for MINI meets, and there are also Subaru people that meet in a parking lot across the street from the ice cream place we go to

I've also gone out west on rides around the quabin area and that is fun as long as you aren't stuck behind the Harley dudes putting around at 30mph

We should definitely do the Summer Nats even on the not blowing up stuff day. Also, this thread has given me ambition to work on the 67 Chevy today. Changing the intake gaskets right now cause we need a loud, fast and old pickup if we are gonna drink beer and blow stuff up the right way.

If any of you guys float around the Mark's Cruise Nights in East Granby, CT let me know. I'll stop by and say hi. I work right down the street so I go hang out there most weeks.

Let's do the AIest poo poo and go to the next Top Fuel race in Epping. I'm also signed up for the April 8th NE-SVT autocross at Fort Devens if anyone else is going, I'll show you how a pro race car driver does it.

I'm looking for someone in Maine around Bangor to check out a car for me. Cuz I'm lazy and the drive up 95 wouldn't be worth it for an initial trip. Any takers? I don't actually remember where Slow is Fast said he was from.
e: oh yeah, of course, I would give a lil cash for your troubles.

I'm totally down for this... blowing poo poo up, bonfires, wrenching parties, whatever. My yard is also available for blowing poo poo up, I'm right on the CT/mass line on 84/90 in Southbridge.

Summer Nationals sounds like a great idea.

(side note - if I can get enough wood together I'm probably having a bonfire tonight, will be welding bits of metal onto my jeep all day, free beer, anyone who feels like dropping by is welcome to)

I think you have to pay an entrance fee if you want to show off your car. When I went, my friend and I just parked outside the park and walked in. It was awesome.

Summer national sounds awesome, I'd show up.

I'm going to be in Epping tomorrow doing a rallycross at the dragway hoping my car doesn't catch fire.

As for a big get together, Kasteins got the place, now all we need is beer and science to blow poo poo up.

I'll supply the beer, or at least some of it.

Science someone else will have to bring

Warning: people have described my place as anything from "Ken's house is an adult/gearhead playground" to "oh my god, I can hear the banjos, paddle faster". It's a good thing code enforcement is lax out here.

Boston (Somerville) checking in. I'm done to drive somewhere in my Jetta TDI. Also down for some beers in Boston.

If we're destroying poo poo, I could probably show up with some thermite.
