Return of The TECH NITE

Count me in as a solid maybe..... I'll be there if I don't get stuck doing an aircraft inspection.
Thanks

Dude-I'm down for the run !!
Shout to San Diego ?? Laguna Crew ? LBC ?
Where's that dude with the horns ?

Glen is your Tub running ?

Once again, I have a conflict of interest...Busy that night, could do the run during the day though....

The fact that you have a conflict of any "interest" shocks ME! Join us for the cruz dude!

Leon - hope you can join us on the cruise. You'll enjoy the Lyon Air Museum, it's (WWII era) exhibit is not as big as the one at Planes of Fame (Chino Airport) but a nice quality display (see the links on my earlier post on this thread).

Vince - that would be cool if you joined us at for a couple of hours for the cruise portion.

hey Vince - conflict "this"

I might just try and make this! I too have other obligations that evening but I'm going to try and join the daytime run with you guys.

Just so I'm on the same page - is the meetup at 10am Lyon Museum?

Car is running great, but I haven't taken it any distance yet. Hoping to get it checked out before I venture out of my comfort zone, but what the hell I guess that's why I pay for AAA (not AA)

Go for it, Glenn! You'll love driving your Speedy on the Ortega. Our cruises are at a leisurely pace so no worries about pushing your car!

Update; The good news is we are getting our drive way resurfaced,
soooo we may change venues to Rolands shop, I will know for sure today.

Another update;

I was thinking our original cruise plan of meeting at 10:00AM and ending at Desi's at 4:00PM for several hours of Tech Nite would make for a pretty long day (particularly for those who have to commute some distance to attend).

Soooooo, I'm throwing out another idea. How about we change things up by;

1. Rendezvous at 12:00 noon (or so) at a pre-determined location for lunch.
2. After lunch cruise the canyons/coast to end up at Desi's for Tech Nite.

Note: we can do the Air Museum another time, but we could still visit the True Speed and Crevier exhibit.

Give me a shout out on this!

That revised schedule will go over better with me... This way I can leave my cots at home...

whatsa cots??

I like Jim's new idea. Noon sounds good to me.

I'm interest in going and my 44 webbers need some adjusting are you guys still looking for a car to work on?

Matt bring your Tub ? we'll have a carb on the work table for Q & A

After looking at the family calendar, I have to pass this opportunity, which is too bad as really want to learn how to tune my webers. Have fun.... Pass the knowledge along

Eddy

O.K. - here's a tentative cruise plan for Tech Nite at Desi's (any recommendations/input welcome);

1. Saturday, meet 12 noon for lunch at Fuddrucker's Hamburger in El Toro (just South of 5-405 Y). I checked out a Sonic Burger car-hop close by, but it has limited parking.

2. After lunch (approx 1:15pm) head out to cruise the O.C. canyons (Trabuco, Majeska, Silverado) then drop down to the coast in Laguna Beach (or Newport Coast, depending on timeline) and head north on PCH to Desi's shop (ETA; 3:30-4:00).

I will video each of you driving your cars through the canyon and along the coast with my GoPro HD and provide a DVD for you.

Rendezvous Directions: Fuddruckers Hamburgers, 23621 El Toro Rd, El Toro

1) Those traveling North on I-5 fwy, exit El Toro Rd, turn RIGHT onto El Toro Rd.
2) Those traveling South on I-5 fwy, exit El Toro Rd, turn LEFT at exit signal (onto De La Carlota) and then LEFT onto El Toro Rd.
3) Second traffic signal from freeway, turn LEFT at Arbor Way. Fuddruckers will be on the right as you enter the plaza.

Matt Kimmel/Glenn Carr - this would be a good opportunity for you to join an SOC cruise and find out what we're all about while enjoying driving your Speedy!

Peace - Out!

Hi Jim,

Please count me in! I'm looking forward to meeting everyone. Coming down from Chatsworth will be a bit of a trek, but I never complain of a long ride in such a cool car.

Ken

Ken - by the time you reach our rendezvous at Fuddrucker's you'll be READY for a big-a$$ hamburger! Looking forward to having you join us. This should be a good mellow cruise with some helpful info on Webbers to boot.

Ken be sure you're ready for all the other knuckleheads you're gonna meet Saturday... Hope to see you too at Fuds for a (as Jim puts it) big A$$ burger.. they are good too!

Looking forward to it! I got back home from Fullerton with extremely fould plugs. My mechanic said it may have been from oil getting sucked in from the high vacuum from coming down from high rpm's. He's going to replace them with higher temp plugs so that they'll burn off any oil that comes in. Have you heard of this before? I should have the car back on Thursday. I suppose if I foul the plugs up on the way down to the OC, we can clean them up at Tech Nite.

Ken

Update - we will be meeting at Roland's shop, just confirmed with management that they are repaving our parking lot from this Thursday - Monday.

So I will see the crew at our meeting point at Fuddruckers .

Roland's address:

155242 Computer Ln.
Huntington Beach Ca. 92649

Weather looks perfect for a run

Cabanaboy

Shout out - San Diego ??

JIMMY I NEED EXACT ADDRESS TO MEET AT
CANT DEAL WITH THE FUDGERUCCKER WEB SITE

Sure you can GERD

Man I wish I lived closer. You SO Cal guys have too much fun.

So far, the weather forecast for this weekend is 40% chance of rain. In light of that, I will try to come with a couple of 'rainy day' options for the afternoon before going to Desi's for Tech Nite with Roland!

Peace - Out!

I'm looking forward to it! just got to move a couple of things around to make it happen. Still meeting at 12 right?

Ken, I've heard that before but the real question is why you're getting an excessive oil in your piston head, that could clog or foul your plugs... I used spacers in my plugs one time and that solved the problem too.

good luck...

Looks like I will be able to make this one, Finally! can't wait to catch up with everyone again.....stay away rain!!!!

Back on 10-18-10 i mention the weather/rain, the prediction at this point is 65% chance and i don't have a top, i usually don't drive the Speedy in rainy condition .

So what to do ? reschedule or meet anyway at Rolands shop.

Cabanaboy - what say you

40% chance of rain for this Saturday. Here's a rainy day option, drive-your-other-car instead of our planned cruise...

Anyone up for some indoor kart racing in Irvine before going to Desi's Tech Nite in Huntington Beach?

$20 for 14 laps sound OK. It's pretty fun!

OR, we could just reschedule Tech Nite if possible!

HEY VINCE ARE THESE THE LAPS U WERE TALKNG ABOUT
DOESNT LOOK LIKE DANCING AND A LOT CHEAPER

As usual, Gerd's mind is in the gutter, but that's understandable since that is where you will find his body after a night out...

these carts look like a lot of fun, and I would love to join you guys but once again, I am busy Saturday night at a benefit supporting the "less fortunate" then ourselves.....

I say let's reschedule Tech nite, I will check the upcoming weekends and post.

Cabanaboy - The flip side / it's going to snow this weekend : )

I second the 'Re-schedule' for another weekend with better weather.

It might be difficult to do this before the end of the year because I suspect that most everyone will be busy between now and the New Year with family/Holiday schedules.

Rescheduling sounds like the best plan.

Keep me posted.

We have a 2nd and the measure is passed.. we reschedule tech-night... the D1 stuff is fun and I have a hat that says so! I believe we are probably going to stay inside and pass on the event, as you mention Jimbo timing is everything and you're probably right about the new years thing and family obligations as well.

It is what it is...

Update; Wet, Raining, Windy, Cloudy : (
