Hello all. I have started the planning for a Cobalt Meeting in May. This thread is to simply pick a date. Please post your preferences. I have so far selected Saturday, May 27th.

There will be a lot planning involved in the meeting, so this thread will close on April 15th. That will allow time for the reservations to be made with enough notice.

The May meeting plans to be large. There are a number of Vendors on Cobaltss.net that are in the Chicagoland area that will all be invited. I hope to arrange for some reserved space where they will be able to set up a table and display their goods. Hahn Race Craft has already been informed, and they would like to come out as well. They expect to be able to bring some of their project cars, including the JIN tuner transformation car, and the Twin Charged SS.

Ideas I am still working on include a road course set up as well as an off road test track (a small one). These are just ideas at the moment.

Any input is appreciated, it's always a key part of any plan. So give me your dates!

honestly any date would work for me as long as its not on a sunday. i will be more then willing to help setup location and contribute ideas for activites and such.

have you given thought to doing a meet at a forest preserve with a huge family style picnic. there will be plenty of parking and a great atmosphere for pics. not to mention the amount of room for vendors and games would be abundant.

any date mid- to late may cuz i will be out of school by then and requesting off work is easy. this should be a good one! thanks halfcent

27th woks fine with me. If possable I would love to bring some Cobalt accessories, Exhaust systems, etc (and yes maybe even a stage kit or 2 if we can get some stock by then.

^that would be awesome

Location is is going to determined after the date is settled. I have three general ideas so far, no specific ones. They are, as you mentioned, a forest preserve with a good parking lot; A Chevy dealership; and a large retail area.

Anytime, anywhere, I'll be there!

I think any Saturday would be best for me, but whatever date is chosen, I'll make time.

May 27th is an awesome date, isn't that Memorial Day weekend?? I know for sure I'll try my best to make it out this time. This meet has got me all excited..:cssNET:

start a list for the 27th. all in favor just add your name.

a chevy dealership isnt a good idea considering most people dont want the dealers to see modified cars under warranty still

Way to get things organized. I can do anything pretty much. I go to school year-round so thats not an issue. Cant wait! And I agree Wikky, not likin the idea of a dealership.

I'm down for that date as long as I can get back from Annual Training/Advance Party by then. <<<(Marines) As well as having a kid due June 17th (Baby Girl) and House being finished somewhere in July I have my hands full. That is why Geoff (Halfcent) and you all will be planning this one. Hope to make it there I'll let you know as soon as I can. Thanks, Erik

27th works for me too

im there :twothumbs

The 27th of May works for me.
I have no mods yet, but I think the dealer is bad idea.
What the dealers don't know won't hurt them.
Too bad we can't find a shop that does mods at which to meet.
Somewhere with lifts, tools, parking, shade, etc...
Just a thought...

jeff what would you want done we could do it at my house most likly, these r simple cars to work on for the most part

Bill Hahn just got in touch with me;
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Hi Geoff,

Drat the luck! That weekend is the IHSA State Track Meet, and my son is participating in Pole Vault (he took 3rd there last year as a Junior!). This will be his last year, so it’s a Must-Attend for me.

Had any other weekends been discussed? As far as Saturdays go, I’m good for May 13th, June 10th, June 24th, and July 1st.
-----------------------------------------------------------------

"Drat the luck"? That's funny. Anyway, given this information, I am now considering two options. We can reschedule the May meet to the 13th and still have Hahn attend, but that is on Mothers day weekend and its two weeks earlier, which puts me in time crunch. Or, we could have a low key May meet, and move the larger meet that we are trying to plan to June 24th. That is the option I would personally prefer.

Let the discussion commence!

sounds good to me, maybe he will be able to show us the cobalt turbo system then if its later on or something. its not made now right?

All the hard parts are ready. The programming for the ECU is not yet ready.

tell him well move it to later if he lets us drive the car.... im guessing its stick and idk stick o well

hey all, i was wondering when this might actually take place and i was wondering if i actually have to bring a cobalt, since i have a cavalier and a cobalt but im trying to sell the cobalt since the thing is wrapped in vodoo, its my wifes 05 sedan and it keep getting hit. the latest was just after we got it out of the body shop she got rear ended. 4 times in less then a year, i think its time to let it go. if someone can please email me at bad_ass_malibu@yahoo.com i want to bring out the cavalier and not the cobalt since everytime we take it out some other car "kisses" it lol. thanks guys, and i do look foreward to seeing u!! thanks!

id love to see hahns turbo manifold, i want to get it just so that im positive it will work, not sure if the one i got with fit in the engine bay or not

dont matter what car you bring out we love them all just make sure its clean. wouldnt want me to post pics of your dirty ride would ya?

Guys, I will provide space at our dealership in Arlington Heights for Saturday May 27th. No we won't be able to use the lifts but you don't have to worry your warranty just because we are at our dealership.

I will have GM Accessories and GM Performance Parts on display. Let me know if is will work and I will be happy to start making plans.

Thanks for the offer. The 27th date is a no good anymore however as I posted above. If your offer can be used on the June 24th date that I'm now planning, that would be great.

Sorry missed the change of date, and once again sorry but I will be working at the "Back to the 50s show" in MN the weekend of June 24th. Keep me posted, I do want to get together with everyone.

OK, Bill has confirmed for June 24th. I will start planning that meeting right away. If you guys want to get together in May, I will leave that up to you. I'll even start a new thread for you to start to the conversation.
