March GTG Date! Please Vote!

[BSHAW27]

OK we need to decide on a date and time asap so we can start recruiting cars on the other forums.

Location: Cookeville TN
http://www.mapquest.com/maps?city=Cookeville&state=TN&country=US&latitude=36.1628&longitude=-85.501701&geocode=CITY

Because it is almost March already I assume we want to do it later in the month so we have more time to prepare but lets see what everyone thinks. As you vote for a date please also post and let us know if you are unable to attend on specific dates. We want to make sure we get as many cars as possible to each GTG. Also I know some have to work on Saturdays so if you are one of those people let us know what the earliest time you can attend will be.

EDIT: You can vote for multiple days so please vote for any days that you are available so we can see how many cars we will actually have for each one!

Ok lets see what happens!

[V8Mag]

Dates Not Available
March 14th and 15th

Dates Available
Any other weekend in March(either Sat. or Sun.)

EDIT: Voted

[BSHAW27]

OK as I added the poll I found out we have the option to vote for more then one choice so I did that so if a couple dates work best for you you can choose multiple days. I am hoping this will give us a better idea of a date the most people can attend.

[TheBeej418]

I voted for the 22nd and 29th. It has to be a Sunday for me to make it.

[ChargerR/T 1]

I voted for the 22nd and 29th. It has to be a Sunday for me to make it.
Ditto...

[V8Mag]

I personally like the 22nd the Best, but we shall see what everyone thinks, because I would also like this one to be a good turnout as well

[BSHAW27]

Yeah I know for sure I can't go on the 21st but I might have to fly to Mass. on the 22nd but if I don't have to fly that day I agree that I think it is the best option. Because the weekend after is almost April and I know there are like three different shows in April people are talking about possibly going to.

Hopefully by the end of tomorrow we will have enough votes to decide.

[BigHurb]

any date works for me.
i'm laid off. lol

[robertg74]

Voted for 21, 22, 28, 29 any of those work for me.

[MR-SMITH]

I have to go with Sunday so my fellow Bee can make it.

[SXT6]

Sunday for me

[BSHAW27]

OK lets keep the votes coming we got 4 days that are almost even so we need some deciding votes in this thread!

[MR-SMITH]

When do the polls close

[BSHAW27]

I figure we need to decide by tonight or tomorrow don't you guys think? I was hoping we could get at least 12 or 13 votes for one of the days to ensure a good turnout!

[robertg74]

Let's close the polls at 8pm EST on Thursday 2/26/08... That should give everyone a chance to voice their opinion... Just my 2 cents...

[BSHAW27]

LOL Robert did you just pick a random date and time out of the air or what? lol

I think we can just look at the list of who voted and see who we have left!

Here is the 13 people that have voted so far:

The guy in the yellow bee that just had the baby

[MikeeV9]

Vote for March 21st.... :)

[MR-SMITH]

We are more important than the race

[BSHAW27]

The guy in the yellow bee that just had the baby

Yeah that is the last guy (but it was a daytona)and he is a member on a different forum so he might not make it over here to vote.

Hey MikeeV9 you know they will have the race on if we go to a bar in Cookeville right!! I'm just saying!! lol

[MR-SMITH]

Yeah MikeeV9. You can watch the race with us.

[BSHAW27]

Bump it to the top!! Robert decided you have until tonight at 8pm to vote.

[robertg74]

Bump it to the top!! Robert decided you have until tonight at 8pm to vote.

Dang right! don't make me come over there to enforce the poll hours.... :mrgreen:

[BSHAW27]

Well we got 40 minutes left on our deadline for this but I don't think anything is gonna change. We had 13 total voters and 10 of those people are available on the 22nd so I think that is officially the date. The other three voters were MikeeV9, HolySXT, and MoTenn so I'm sorry we have to pick this date but I think we did it the fairest way possible and I really hope you guys can find a way to make it.

Now we need to finalize a location so is anyone familiar with the area? I know Ryan found an Applebees in the area so that is currently our only option. Anyone else have a better choice?

Sorry to vomit code but it is a good list of places to eat....
My vote is for outback... Cheese fries GOOD!!! :rock:

[V8Mag]

I'm fine with either Applebees or Outback

[BSHAW27]

I messaged a guy named Bonez on this forum and asked if he knew of a good place he is from Cookeville so lets see what he says and if he doesn't say anything by tomorrow we can go with outback

[MR-SMITH]

Is Outback open for lunch on Sundays?

[BSHAW27]

Well I don't know if they are open I don't ussually eat at Outback but I think on a Sunday afternoon they would be open to get the church crowd. If I had to pick a place I would choose Chillis or Applebees because they are a little louder less formal place for our crazy crew! I know I kept catching myself cursing right behind the church crew sitting behind us at Texas Roadhouse. I think outback will be packed with the church crowd!

[BigHurb]

^^^^^^^^^^ I agree with Applebee's or Chillis

[robertg74]

BShaw27 makes a good point. We do get rowdy :)
I am good with any place as long as the food is good and the drinks are cold.

[MarkA]

Hey guy's, whats up? just checking in to say hi and see whats going on. I got a thought to throw out there, Is it prefered on Cookville? or was thinking about exit 238 @ Lebanon/Gallstin area. Lebanon is a great area too. Just an idea

[MarkA]

Oh yea, how could i forget? I ordered my nitros kit yesterday. Will be here to day or tom. at noon. Yea for me. Going to pick up a set of 18" drag radials to play with next week. Gotta run

[MR-SMITH]

Post a poll for where to eat too Bshaw. I would but I am driving now.

[BSHAW27]

Man we got a poll for everything else already. I just talked to a buddy that lives between Cookeville nad Nashville and he said all those places are on the same street along with alot of other options. I was thinking at Applebees we could take over the bar area and maybe a few high tops and be by some TVs. At Chillis the bar area is ussually alot smaller but they ussually have more seating in the back so I guess it is a wash. I say we stick with Applebees since it was the first place we discussed! As long as no one has a specific reason they don't want applebees this will just be easier to pick it and go with it.

I went ahead and posted this up on all the forums I visit but I know you guys visit alot that I don't so post it up on any forum you don't see it already on.

Robert it is your job to get another Challenger to show up and Peter Parker you are in charge of finding another 300!! lol

[MR-SMITH]

We need to get some of those business cards printed up to pass out.

[mark3830]

HolySXT is working on something for me that could be converted for such use.

[MR-SMITH]

I would be willing to chip in a few bucks if need to be to have something handy to hand out.

[BSHAW27]

Why is everything you are doing so secretive Mark? You might get some help and opinions from the group if we knew you were working on this.

[BigHurb]

^^^^ He got his "BO" to help him out. lol

[robertg74]

Robert it is your job to get another Challenger to show up and Peter Parker you are in charge of finding another 300!! lol

No pressure:panic: I have been trying to get Challengers to show up since Jan. I am guessing that either they are "too Good" to show or have no interest.... I will re-double my efforts captin!! hahaha.

[BigHurb]

I've been trying to get this guy to come online and check us out. He drives a challenger and he works at wally world (wal-mart). I'm putting a application in tomorrow.

[MR-SMITH]

I had a few Challengers interested if we were going to meet closer to Nashville. I will have to hit them up again.

[BSHAW27]

Man I didn't know I could work at Walmart and afford a challenger!! Maybe I should put my application in too!

[robertg74]

hahahaha, no doubt!! I have posted on the Challenger area of LXforums... We'll see what I get.

[SXT6]

I work with a guy that drives an SRT10 Ram, figured it would be cool if he could come out. He told me to talk to him closer to time

[V8Mag]

That would be sweet, well I'm trying to get some people together, but It's not looking good on my end right now.

[MR-SMITH]

SRT10 would be sweet for sure.. Never give up V8Mag.. I am in Ohio this weekend and they have all kinds of nice LX's here

[BSHAW27]

Yeah SRT10 would be great. I have two more Chargers interested in attending and I think I might have a couple more from Nashville. Even though we are losing a few from last month I hope we can get over 20 cars this time!

[BigHurb]

I've got another mag owner from clevend comming out with us.

[V8Mag]

I have made trips to Nashville Thursday, Friday, Today, and will be there tommorow night, just from the trips I have made so far I have seen alot of Sweet LX's on the highway.

[BigHurb]

Pass out some of those flyers if possible.

[MR-SMITH]

Maybe the Challenger guys will listen to you... they don't respond to my posts at all...:roll:

[BSHAW27]

Well I got a guy from Clarkville with a blue challenger who said he is gonna try and make it. I think Ryan was right you just have to post pics from last month and when they see all the cars everyone gets interested. I even got another guy from Kentucky saying he might come down since it isn't that far of a drive.

Clarkville or Clarksville, because if he is from Clarksville I can link up with him.

[BSHAW27]

Looks like Clarksville I am just going by what is in his location box on his post. Here is the thread over on charger forumz that he responded to:

So I should be just be putting pictures in the post and not the link to our conversation??? What ever works man, as long as we get some other Challengers there.

[V8Mag]

I think i have seen his Challenger, let him know that if he does plan on going that there is a guy heading out of Ft. Campbell that if he wants can tag along with me till we meet up with everyone else that is from the nashville area

Why did you ever doubt me

[BSHAW27]

Well it looks like I will be going to Boston on the 22nd so I might not make this M&G afterall. I was gonna try and get a late flight so I can still attend but since I will be booking last minute it probably won't work out that way. Oh well I will still keep recruiting!

Yes, I knew these things. However others have querried about other locations. The poll clearly shows a difference of opinion. Just want to make sure everone is on same page.

[BSHAW27]

Well I am definitely not going to be able to attend the March GTG I just booked my flight on the 22nd and I had to leave at 7am. Always have to book cheap flights and because of the short notice all the afternoon flights were alot more expensive. I guess I will look forward to all the pics you guys take and the stories too!

I will quote this post again but this time I have a pic, I'm not sure If it's the guy, but it's the only blue Challenger I know of that I have seen around Clarksville. Sorry for the quality, it was through the tint, bc the light had just turned green and I took it as it was.

[robertg74]

Cool, There is at least hope that we might have another Chally show up.
BShaw- that's a bummer brother. We'll get some good pics and stories for ya.

[BSHAW27]

Yeah It is a Sunday to Sunday trip so I had the option of the week before or that week and either way I would be flying on the 22nd! Oh well I guess I don't have to worry about doing any mods until April now!! lol

[robertg74]

Cheater!!! you should still mod your car.... :mrgreen:

[BSHAW27]

Nope I can save my money for my Vegas trip April 9th! If I come back with any money it will be for mods but don't count on it I will probably blow most of it on booze and strippers! lol

[robertg74]

Nice plan!!!

[MarkA]

Anyday, anytime is good for me. I've got my nitros kit installed and she will really get it. I torqed a new model corvette last night on the 75 shot. I jumped him 3 cars lengths quicker than he jumped one car lenght when he kicked it. I went to the hundred shot today and a 3 sec push on the pedal, put we around a mustang by 5 cars. Like it, love it, need more of it

[MR-SMITH]

Quik question. What time zone is Cookeville in?

ROFL!!!!!! What's funny is the song coming from someone that could stunt double as Tim.... :beerchug:

That's badass you pulled a c6, I can only slowly walk about 2 1/2 cars on one running from 80 - 155 (on the track of course...). I don't even bother with stangs unless it's a rousch or saleen. The juice is soooo tempting but I think I might wait till my bottom end is forged... :rock:

Cookeville is CST....

[mark3830]

Quik question. What time zone is Cookeville in?

it's called slow time for us.....central time for the rest of the USA. :blam:

[robertg74]

so does that make PST, so slow time that it almost runs backwards??? Having just gotten back from Cali I think it is!

[mark3830]

pacific time, mountain, central, eastern
8:00 9:00 10:00 11:00

any more questions about telling time?

[mexi]

are you guys ever going to do a meet and greet a lil more toward middle tn... im as far west as you can get. these meets are just a lil to far for someone to make a turn around trip with on a sunday.

[mark3830]

We've got a guy coming from Memphis, you should tag along with him. I think Nashville is about as far west as we'll get.

[lethal300c]

Okay, count me in if y'all do not mind another 300. Getting my heads and cam that week so should be able to make the 167 miles in an hour and a half...lol. Just in case, can someone afford my bail?? :) Look forward to it folks!!

[ChargerR/T 1]

Well hopefully might have two RT/10 Vipers show. Just put a catback on one of them. Hopefully one of the owners said he would try to get some more guys from the viper club.

[mark3830]

Hot diggity, this might end up bigger than the last meet!

[MR-SMITH]

Have faith. It will be bigger than last month.

[BSHAW27]

Yeah we are recruiting on other forums I think we will have more then 20!

[MR-SMITH]

I remember last summer when it was just Bshaw and I at a GTG.

[BSHAW27]

Don't worry I am sure you will scare all the others away eventually and it will just be you and me again someday! lol

Haha, you sound like you should be running with some of us from the Nashville area

[robertg74]

So as the date is getting closer... Are some of us going to rool together out to Cookville? Mark you got any idea on which way you guys are going to head to cookville? For the knoxville crew we (Rayn and I) could meet up at one of the exits on I-40 just past the split and roll together from there.

[BSHAW27]

Robert keep me in the loop on the convoy I told Ryan but didn't tell you that I might make it after all they had an emergency in NC so I cancelled my other flight and now I just have to drive to NC the same day as the GTG instead. I am trying to go to the meet and then leave early to start my drive to NC but I am not 100% sure yet.

[robertg74]

will do, That's dedication right there... drive west to go east :thumbs_u:

[MR-SMITH]

Robert you know you and I will roll together. Whats the first exit past the split. That would be a good meeting point for anyone coming from this way.

[robertg74]

Robert you know you and I will roll together. Whats the first exit past the split. That would be a good meeting point for anyone coming from this way.

I would go to the second one. the first one is how you used to get to the Atmic speedway.. not a lot of room there. looks like exit 356 is a better bet.

[pippin]

I''m coming from Memphis and rollin through Nashville if anyone wants to meet up let me know.

[BigHurb]

This my be a dumb ?????, but where is cooksville and which way is best comming from Chatt?

Anybody else comming from my area.

Hi guys, new to this forum. I've linked up with Mr Smith and RobertG74 a bit and it's still up in the air for me coming down there. I'm meeting up with another fellow Challenger owner today and will to convince him to join. Both of us are members of the Challengertalk forum. There's about 10 Challengers running around post here and we're trying to find them! So the more the merrier of course. Will keep you guys posted. Thanks for the invite!
