[Duska]

how about a cruise down the pigstail[ state hwy 23 south of state hwy 16] in may?

it should be close enough for Mo and Tx as well as Ok and Tn spyders

Sounds great to me. I love driving in Ozarks.

[T-bone]

when in the spring or before winter hits??

[Duska]

eerrr... i think that may is in the spring....last time i ck'd:rolleyes:

houmax do you think that you could get some of the other tejas spyders to convoy up?

does anyone have a preference for which weekend?:confused:

i've pm'd 50racer[stl] rburton[seMo] metoch[sprngfld] and they are game for an Ozark meet:cool:

Only those that like extreme twisty roads.

Any weekend will work for me, I'll just burn a vacation day or two if I need to. Woohoo I love roads in NW Arkansas.

For sure some Dallas guys should make the trip. It's just a short blast up and over for them. I'll be seeing about three of them this Saturday and let them know how fun the roads are.

Do you mind Eureka Springs as a base for the rally??? I love that town. Lots of nightlife choices.

May? spring? really?:icon_redface:

[Duska]

yes T-bone indy folk and all sc'rs are welcome.

yes please spread the word to the d-fw guys. oh, sonicfury in fayetteville [sp] should be interested too.

[DaSpyda]

The weekend needs to be the weekend after SADASS, if you please. The idea being someone could start at SADASS, or another Meet, and go along for other meets with two days driving time.

The Midwest would the weekend after yours, and then West is after that.

[sonicfury]

sonicfury in fayetteville [sp] should be interested too.

He is (spelling is correct). It'll have to be after finals Spring semester. I dunno when SADAS is, but any weekend after the middle of May should be fine as far as I know. (I don't have next semester's calendar in front of me at the moment). Then again, IDK how I could possibly miss that - it's right in my backyard, and it's certainly among my favorite places to drive. :D Meeting in Eureka Springs would be fine - it's about 45 minutes from my place, and I've never checked out the night life there. I just hope they have an indoor smoking ban... I'll have to ask my friend who's from there about that.

Not sure about smoking, seems most do now.

Lumberyard is great for late/all night party(they never close), they have live bands. Rock.

http://www.clubplanet.com/Venues/105981/Eureka-Springs/Lumberyard

For subdued and scenic(great for people and vehicle watching) I like Pied Piper. Right downtown, indoor and outdoor seating. tables back up to a sheer rock bluff.

Or there's like 15 other choices :lol:

But the best thing about Eureka Springs(hills)

It looks as if SADASS may happen Apr 9-13 but the polling isn't finished (http://spyderchat.com/forums/showthread.php?t=38175&page=2).

Would you guys consider the weekend after that?

I'm easy. Whatever works.

[Duska]

Don, wouldn't you want to have the midwest [Id, Il, Kn, Oh] meet the weekend after sadas?

I'm flexible, but i do want to accommodate our college friends [of which my son is one] . I among others was disappointed that the last weekend of may was not an option for sadas. I would like to see mark again. Are you trying to have rolling meets so that you [and/or others can attend them all]? If so, I'd like to extend hospitaity, i have a nice 3/4 bd rm home and you can crash here on your way to the next meet if you wish.

[DarknessHX]

Hmm I'll do it if u remind me

[Galo]

Next years "North Central Spyder Meet(formerly the "Midwest Meet")" will go on Saturday, June 5, '10. I'll post a separate thread...

Sorry to thread drift...

Isn't that a Central Meet?

Yes, the idea is of a "rolling meets" concept. I'm not sure of my schedule next year, but I appreciate the invite. :) I'll keep it in mind.

[rpaltman]

Drop me a PM once you finalize the dates and location.

I have a contact with Wyndham Worldwide Sports Team / Group Sales desk and I am happy to coordinate a discount rate (usually 25-30% off best available rate) at any of the 'core brand' hotels (Days Inn, Ramada, Howard Johnson, Super 8, Knights Inn, Travelodge, Microtel Inn & Suites, Baymont Inn, Hawthorne Suites) for you guys.

We did a Group Rate for the Bear Mountain 2009 event and got rooms for $55 (vs. best available rate of $85) at a newly renovated Super 8.

OK guys... keep me in the loop. I would love to do some Ark driving. May have to have wife drive van and trailer up while I drive "my baby". Don't mind scheduling my vacation around it!:)

[Fuz16]

I am in for anything near the Ozarks - it is fun to wind through those turns:)

[rburton]

Well let me come in and regulate!

Hope i dont get a red dot for this post but this is total epic failure!~

we should be posting for a "midwest meet" (at the pigstail in my opinion) that should come after the "central" meet that is being posted about in the midwest forum. Ive been gone from SC for like 2 weeks b/c ive been lazy but it took me a good minute to find my way to the meet closest to me.

Since the idea here was to make them a couple days apart to maybe allow for SC members to attend more than one meet, having the "midwest" (indiana) almost 2 months after the dragon meet is like just way off of what was mentioned by don.

Now if were planning to do it like stated where all the meets are spread a couple months apart then the Ark. meet would need to be in july at the earliest.

Im Super confused as im sure the majority of people in states between and around indiana all the way to california.

The activity on these pages shows the mass confusion.
I figured on this being a big deal everyone would put on their calenders and try to attend but its not drawing in to big of a crowd at all yet.

i dont know if im even posting this in the right place

Who wants to be in Arkansas at a rally in July when it's 90+ degrees?
When we can do it in May when it's in the 70's.

Duska tried to work it where it would be closer to the end of Dragon but his son will still be in school the middle of April.(date chosen).

So April 23,24,25??? Sounds good to me.

23rd, Friday could be arrival day for everybody, 24th Saturday could be the big group run. Sunday travel day home.

I plan on burning some PTO days on both ends so I don't have to rush it. Maybe Friday afternoon we could drive out to the lake and over the swinging bridge and end up downtown for refreshments and eats.

Did y'all have a preference on motels? I've stayed here a bunch of times. Clean, pool, hot tub. They cater to car/bike rallies. Not downtown but 5 minutes away. Just a few feet from pig trail jct.

It's a good route. I know a lot of people like 7 a lot but it's always crowded on Saturdays and it's hard to find a straight section to pass. This 123 replaces 7 and seems like only locals know the road exists. It's actually better than 7 IMO.

Here's a vid of the road

Branson is real close to Eureka too.

My last trip to Eureka I stayed a couple nights in Hot Springs. There's a cool twisty loop you can do around the town. And the old downtown is a historic district. Then from Hot Springs I ran scenic 7 up to 16, 16 to 23, 23 to Eureka. 7 is fun on weekdays, not much traffic. Of course I was on a BMW k1200GT so traffic didn't slow me down much :lol:

14 S from the MO line is real fun all the way to Yellville. And like Duska said there's some real scenic places inside Buffalo National River Park.

Another nice thing about Eureka is if you need to talk a wife or GF into the trip, there's hundreds of lady diversions in town. And they don't even need a car, trolley stops right in front of the motel and runs to downtown...

Thu or Fri?

I was thinking of leaving Thu morning(more time to play in the Hills).

Google calls it a 10 hour drive. If we drive up Thu we can do an practice northern run along the MO border.

I keep reading this thread and telling myself...."self, ya gotta figure out a way to go. You grew up in AR, you could stop and visit family on the way, how can you not go?". Then self tells me, "it's an 11+ hour drive there, 22+ hours round trip in the Silver Streak!!!! Even with a few breaks that's a heck of a long drive in a sports car with no cruise control !!!:eek::. Then Houmax has to go and talk about driving around my old stomping grounds while I was in college, Hot Springs, and I remember driving Hwy 7 from Arkadelphia to Hot Springs just to get beer or to go to a club on the weekend and I think, that drive would have been SO much fun in the Spyder back then, lol. Well, I'm going to keep looking at the possibility of going and April is a long way off so the trip is going to stay at least in the realm of possbilities. :)

[HOUMAX]

"it's an 11+ hour drive there, 22+ hours round trip in the Silver Streak!!!! Even with a few breaks that's a heck of a long drive in a sports car with no cruise control !!!:eek::. :)

On Colorado trip I found on long boring freeway portions as long as nobody's right on your ass it's easy enough to switch feet on the gas pedal. Drive with left foot for 30 minutes while right foot and leg take a break.

[Duska]

hey i made it to SADAS IX with no cruise. rburton, whyt, bean's shadow, and I convoyed you can do it...no problema. I'm still planning on going to SADAS X. you'all wanna convoy there? we could meet up in memphis, little rock or birimingham. i'm pumped seeing that so many of you texans are comming to the pigstail. it will be good to meet you'all.

cheers

[rigidspyder]

This is a 5 hour drive for me and I am in for sure. "I say that thinking that my internal knocking problem will be solved by then." nonetheless, I have always wanted to go and drive AR. Minus the meth:huh: and the incest:o, I think AR is a great place.

[DaSpyda]

Just to confirm...is this on April 23rd?

If you remind me in advance I probably go. I don't have to worry about cruise control cause i have one.:lol:

I'd love to join, but it's a good 11.5 hour trip for me from Columbus, OH. Don't count me out though, just depends what I have going on that weekend :)

maybe you could pick up some of the indiana boys [galo, midshipman, etc] cruise over to StL and convoy down with 50 racer, he's coming

hey if i can make the tail of the dragon you can make the pig's tail:lol:

[SpyderLove]

I may do this (if it stops snowing by April 24th), sounds like a fun drive, can't beat the Ozark Mountains. Anyone from the Chicago area considering this ?

That's a great idea Duska, doing a convoy is much more fun especially with that many miles to cover. If there are other from this direction going to this may sway my decision. We still have quite a bit of time before this happens so I'll continue to watch the Chicago area intrest.

Ohio isn't tooo far off from Illinois, I'm sure we can converge somewhere on the trip down to Arkansas

hey we already know that they are enthusiastic and will drive.

[MoAtt]

Actually I've never been to the Ozarks. I lived in Arkansas until I was 20, but it was in south Arkansas. I never even had an Arkansas drivers license (I got my first driver's license in Louisiana when I was 20, almost 21.)

My wife and I keep talking about visiting the Ozarks, but we never do it. The closest I've come is playing on the roads in Hot Springs on a vacation there a couple years ago.

What part of south Arkansas? I grew up there myself and still have family there. Arkansas is sort of divided into north and south with Little Rock being the imaginary middle. It's not unusual to hear people from there saying they've never been north or south of LR depending on where they live, ha.

[MoAtt]

I was born in Magnolia, AR and lived there until I was 12, then moved to Bradley, AR (population 500) until I graduated high school, then I moved back to Magnolia to go to Southern Arkansas University (Go MULERIDERS!...no...not kidding...that's the mascot...) til I was 20, then moved to Louisiana (big mistake, never do it) where I've been for the last 10 years.

We were thinking about staying at Swiss Holiday...
http://www.eurekaspringsresort.com/ (http://www.eurekaspringsresort.com/)
... but I called today and there's only 4 rooms left. But, that's just because a motorcycle club reserved a huge block(but not everybody in their club has confirmed yet). He's going to get with them early next week to verify how many rooms they really are going to need.

What would help is a roll call who's all going and who's going to be staying over which nights so I can reserve a block of rooms.

I'll start it off, if your a local and don't need a room go ahead and put your name on the Roll Call just leave room needed for blank, Thanks.

Roll Call need room for

1) Houmax thu,fri,sat

Unless you're the exception to the rule, if you grew up in AR you're a Razorback fan even though you went to SAU. I'm a Texas football fan until they play the Hogs, then blood kicks in, ha. Magnolia's just down the road from ElDorado where my parents moved to when I was a sophomore at Henderson. I left AR when I graduated from Henderson and went into the Army and roamed the world for 20+ years and decided to settle back in Texas after having been stationed at Fort Hood and learning to like the state. I hope I get to make the AR meet and get to meet you. We can talk Arkie, lol. Have a great weekend.

We were thinking about staying at Swiss Holiday...
http://www.eurekaspringsresort.com/ (http://www.eurekaspringsresort.com/)
... but I called today and there's only 4 rooms left. But, that's just because a motorcycle club reserved a huge block(but not everybody in their club has confirmed yet). He's going to get with them early next week to verify how many rooms they really are going to need.

What would help is a roll call who's all going and who's going to be staying over which nights so I can reserve a block of rooms.

I'll start it off, if your a local and don't need a room go ahead and put your name on the Roll Call just leave room needed for blank, Thanks.

Roll Call need room for

1) Houmax thu,fri,sat

Count me in: tomand44 1 for fri/sat
Looking forward to meeting that many new MR2's. :lol:

[MoAtt]

Don't follow sports much, but I always start claiming the hogs when they're playing LSU....EVERYONE where I live & work are fanatical Tiger fans. I like getting them riled up.

Yeah, my wife's family is from El Dorado. Where we live in Louisiana is about an hour drive from El Dog, so we go up there to visit them about 3 or 4 times a year. In fact, I drove up there once just to check out a potential Spyder for a SC'er from San Antonio. Small world. :D

My wife and I (MoAtt and Mrs. MoAtt) are definitely in unless finances force us to back out ($200 a night rooms wouldn't help anything...) We would most likely show up Friday and leave Sunday.

[HOUMAX]

No $200 rooms for this poorboy either, there's lots of nice rooms for about $80.

My son and I will be there Friday and Saturday and will need a room for Friday only. I would prefer the $80 room over the $200 rooms. I look forward to seeing new spyders as well.

540N to 12E(aka E Walton Blvd),
12E TO 23N,

I think we can do that, its super early as i get off work at 10pm. So what hotel did y'all decide to stay at.I for sure don't want to pay $200 for it thats just crazy<_<.What time Saturday are you coming back.

Hotel will depend on if rooms are available, that town is hopping in the spring. Lots of car and bike rallies.
I'll let y'all know by the end of the week. If anybody's on a real tight budget there are some $50 a night places in town too. Kind of older, mom and pop type motels. $80 gets you a nice room and muffins for breakfast. $100 gets you a nice room and crepes for breakfast. You should get a BJ for $200 a night :)

No worries, we won't be staying at a $200 a night motel, that's just crazy since we won't be in the rooms that much.

I'm leaving Houston 3am thu morning and leaving Eureka around 9am sun to head home.

[Duska]

PS I've got an email into one of the nicer $50 a night places to see if they have enough openings.
http://www.edelweissinn.com/
It's clean but nothing fancy, you know the type, 13" TV, no pool kinda place. Might be worth saving $30 a night thou. Spend that extra money on partying or dinners.

[Duska]

like the hotel. can i have the babe in the hot tub?

wow that is a lot of tejas support! with the Mo attendance and others this is getting to be a big deal.

perhaps we should split into 2 touring groups, one taking the route clockwise and one going counterclockwise....law enforcement may give themselves whiplash:lol:

Great, Im with you, why spend a bunch of money for a motel room.

Got a return email and they have enough rooms to handle our group right now. Rate is $49 a night, they're closed for the season right now but are accepting reservations.

We can push it back a little then. I may just take a PTO day on Thursday. Maybe meet up Thursday morning for breakfast somewhere on 45N. We'd still make Eureka before dinner time.

They have a sense of humor, there use to be lots of whore, er "bath" houses in town. It was a health resort kind of like Hot Springs. There's even a place in town that boasts the first neon sign west of the Mississippi.

I booked one with 2 beds. But it's a small hotel so we ought to snag as many rooms as we might need now because they will go fast. There's a huge bike rally in town that weekend. Plus people come for all the other attractions like the Music reviews, Christian stuff like the Passion play, town is also a honeymoon mecca, lots of the motels even have chappels and honeymoon specials., etc. As event gets closer and guys that are solo with extra room they can cancel their reservation and bunk up to save $$$.

As an example I got a callback from my first choice, the Swiss Holiday, he couldn't even put together 10 free rooms for me that weekend and that's like a 60 room motel.

[TRD_Rick]

I hate you Houston naggers for not telling me about this.....then again.....it depends on how Sakura is doing. If I can get the swap done in time then I'll go. If I pushed it with the same motor, expect me to get there after leaving Thursday morning and arriving Saturday morning. At least my Koyo is on now.

Hey Duska. Yes I just read that a few pages back, nice of you to think about me =).....no homo.... but if a motor comes in on time, then I will do it. I was trying to pick up this 2ZZ but the guy stopped responding. I really don't care about going for another 1ZZ right now, but this will be my first out of state trip in awhile. From Houston, is it about 8 hours away?

Rick , Why-t might still have his 2ZZ still laying around. do you want me to give him a call? last i heard he was running the 1ZZ and the 6speed. he has/had all the swap parts cause he was running it when his last car got totaled . he had a thread in here about the accident...i think that the motor is fine. he paid the ins. co. to buy back the carcass of the wrecked car to salvage all the good parts off of it.

i have an 03 [ you know the improved 1ZZ] long block with less than 50k sitting in my garage.

Houmax, man those pics are getting me really pumped about the meet

Hey Duska, well now I would have to make plans for it. I would REALLY love to have a 2ZZ and I almost got one from Atlanta but the douche stopped answering my PMs. If you don't mind giving Why-T a call about it, that would be great about a possible price shipped and if its too high, PM me the info from your 1ZZ. Right now....I'll take anything. The 2ZZ would only be for show, I don't run my car hard at all.

[jordan71]

"Oh, I need to get on the interstate and merge."

"Oh, guess it wasn't necessary, I'm the only car in sight....oh well."

I could live in lift.

Alright ladies, I will officially be purchasing my motor at the end of the month. Its a 1zz but it will stop me from purchasing so much oil, so I get to save a bit more cash now. I am getting my car detailed a bit for the carshow. Import Reactor, on April 2nd-3rd. I will most likely be taking my gf with me as we wanted to do a trip together somewhere where we have never been to. If I can take Thursday off, I will follow as well and burn a PTO day.

$900 motor
$500 install
$500 new audio setup 5 ten inch subs for show
$500 repairing bumper, reclear hood and side mirrors, painting side mirrors 1DO and hopefully inside the headlights 1DO as well.

I don't hate modding Rick so since you do but have the money to spare I really want a body kit for my silver streak and that amount should cover it and the install so you can spend that money on mods for my car and you just ride up to AR with me (provided I get to go.

sorry for being a laggard. turned out that my oil consumption issues were from blown seals in my pe turbo. i have a garrett GT2871 with a safe tune now so no worries. BTW it spools up faster and smoother than my old pe.
