Come on.. we know just about anybody that can properly mix JB Weld can put a system in.. it's the tuning, and we have a very bright young man working towards this! Really felt like this was where to start anyways.. figure out how your going to get it there.. then build the system. Think this young man doesn't take "can't be done" as an answer.. LOL

Oh.. correction on the "JB Weld"... "as long as your name isn't Corky"..

I have the utmost confidence in Josh and his abilities, I have been in communication with him for months, but after being here for as long as I have and lurking before that, I don't think anything is going to happen overnight...

Oh I totally agree with that.. Just feel with him and his talents involved.. it will get done.

He's already hurdled a "can't be done"..

Now the end dollar for it all might be a big negative to get there on a daily driver basis.. just a sit back - anticipate - and see..

Thanks
Got it! Welcome to the fun, not sure why the spring dragon has grown like this, but I'm happy it has.

Agreed, but if ANYONE can, 'the kid' will.

Pizzaperson: I want to commend you on showing members given names in your list of attendees...excellent idea...One knows "that a persons name is one of the most important labels that have... No one can take it, change it, and you even keep it when you pass ".....Carl


Keep on Crossfireing...

DRAGON ALERT !

Our room block expires February 3, on that date any rooms we have reserved for our group are released to the general public. If you still want to go but have not reserved a room, do so now. Of course, any rooms or cabins the Gen Coupes have reserved also are released on that date - so the room selection from about the 3rd to the, say 5th, may be of a greater variety than it is now - but once they are gone, they are gone. REMEMBER, we have us, the Gens and the VWs there again the same weekend; the Seirra club will also be there, cleaning trails for the Lodge and the Park - it will be a busy weekend for the lodge with three car clubs there for the same reason !

You could say that it is engraved in stone.

I am booked, not sure if I will have Molly with me or if a buddy may tag along.

Mark, I did find it interesting, I looked on their site to see about a cabin, changing it up a bit. I looked at one they had available and on the website it says $129-$159 per night, guess what the discounted XF rate on the same room was? $156.50 per night. Seriously?

I usually don't go in the spring....but, if something changes with my schedule, I might come down. I have friends in Knoxville I can stay with or get a room nearby. This snow is getting me in the mood to get away....lol
