Lol Greg it was probably Nixon. I had a nixon watch. Lost it years ago.

 

It was Nixon, I just wish I could find it..

 

I think my buddy has that watch. It's ******* massive right?

 

massive doesn't begin to describe the size of that watch. people in china can tell what time it is by looking at that watch haha

 

Yep that's definitely the watch my buddy has. It is pretty ******* sweet.

 

who me??

 

hahaha yea its massive, but i love it!! weights like 3 pounds!! haha

and yes, you jon possibly?? i was in a new red dodge ram

 

In mckenzie town? Couldn't have been me as I've been driving the truck up until yesterday and I don't go to mckenzie town

 

On another note, I saw a red lsj with steelies and a highrises at Southgate today

 

'ownedbyagirl' has an LE5 - with highrise...
chrome grille...
chrome door handles...

and iirc she's running steelies...


maybe it was her?

 

What the hell is happening next year for a track in Calgary?

Joel

 

that's easy;

Castrol raceway south of Edmonton...

You have Medicine Hat dragway which is alot closer (2 hours for you versuse 5 hours to castrol) - but form the racers I spoke to this past summer, they all more or less described it as a bit of a podunk track - and stated how it was essentially deemed inferior compared to Castrol, or some of the closer state-side tracks...

 

jonathan, can i use your torque wrench to torque my wheels? my brother decided to be a douchebag and wouldnt bring his "$400 wrench home for me to use" and since im leaving tomorrow, i will most likely forget to torque them on monday

 

tighten them tight (just past snug ~ don't go crazy);
then swing on by.

call before you head over... I was thinking of getting out of the house tonight... (but not going far)

 

ya i did that. i gotta pack before i can go so ill be like 20 mins before i call.

 

So lame, I only made it to secret street once but it was a blast (even with my axle incident! haha). If one opened near Lethbridge (Tailwind Raceway heres talking to you.. I've seen the sign for years..) I'd be so happy.

Which reminds me, Will you and me next year! You won't beat me that bad again .

Joel

 

Haha hopefully not.

 

Did they give you a timeslip for that run? Thinking about it later I would have liked to have a did not finish slip haha.

Joel

P.S. Thanks again for the help that night, and T-Jay. I still owe you guys a beer if I ever see you.

 

Nope. There was no chrome on it and it had the supercharged badges on it

 

well guys, I for one would be interested in a castrol meet next summer...

maybe we should make a thread for it - and kind of make it a planned GM-FWD/cobalt/ion type meet?

 

So it's confirmed I'll be in Calgary for sure the 25th-27th as I took the 24th and 28th off in case I needed the extra days for safe driving. Anybody want to do a meet on Friday night or Saturday? Mark what would be the best day to come to the shop if I wanted to get something done? Also need to see Eddie.

I was thinking there should be a WCCF next year..

 

they let their domain name/server contracts lapse... or at least it appears to be that way...
so I'm guessing after the 2010 flop, that western canadian coblats is dead.

maybe we could use the facebook group as the basis for such a meet?
right now the facebook group is a calgary thing though...

I'm game for meets, no matter how small scale...
I'd prefer saturday - but fridays work too....
Sundays I'm not so big on...

...btw if you find that "missing" watch ~ care to hook a brother up?
I could probably get a couple bucks for it at a pawn shop... would make at least one month of bills "Go away"

 

Hahaha I really wish I could find it, last time I had it was in Calgary I think(or Edmonton). It's probably in my car somewhere.

I was more so thinking a new spin and calling it "West Coast Cobalt Fest".
We used to do something like it in my Bonneville club where it's basically a couple of days and there's modding & tuning, dyno runs, and track day etc.


Anyways my bed is calling me now..

 

I'd like to attend that, I don't know anyone else around me who is interested/actually would follow through to going to the track besides 1 or 2 people. It'd be fun in a group.

Joel

 

something like this - especially a re-occuring thing;
would work out best if you get the largest possible audience of like minded enthusiasts together;
the groups that immediately come to mind:
- j-body enthusiasts (j-body.org)
- delta enthusiasts (here, or any similar site catering to cobalts, g5's, or Ions)
(and believe it or not)
- Grand Am enthusiasts (gaownersclub.com)

the common bond that all these cars have are:
- J & N final years used ecotecs,
- all these cars were at least standard in base trim with a 4 banger,
- all these cars are universally rejected by v8/musclecar crowds
- all these cars are universally rejected by the regular 'tuner' crowd.

GM Tuners is a name that I think might work...
yeah it might be a bit of a rip-off... but meh ~ it fits.
