Canuck Posted June 6, 2012 Author Share Posted June 6, 2012 We now have 17 members confirmed for the meet and still several more who are interested but cannot yet confirm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canuck Posted June 28, 2012 Author Share Posted June 28, 2012 Now that the Northwest Meet is over, the Western meet has 100% of my focus. A reminder that the registration cost goes up by $10 if you register after July 6th. Get those registrations in if you can. The BBQ planning is coming together, attendance is looking good, I got my car cleaned up, I'm ready! It's only 5 WEEKS AWAY! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canuck Posted July 12, 2012 Author Share Posted July 12, 2012 3 weeks! Really looking forward to this now that it's so close. If you have not already registered for the car show or made hotel reservations, I suggest you do so if you can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canuck Posted July 24, 2012 Author Share Posted July 24, 2012 If any of you coming to the meet have an ezup canopy, please bring it, we will likely need it for shade ant the car show. The meet is NEXT WEEK! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canuck Posted July 24, 2012 Author Share Posted July 24, 2012 I'm thinking of dropping the Saturday cruise to Incline village off the schedule. With the cruise to Virginia City on Friday, the poker run Sunday and the drive to Reno for the BBQ on Sunday, I think we should just relax Saturday evening. We will likely be tired after a hot day at the show on Saturday and might be better just to relax at the hotel with our favourite beverage. There is an Applebees right across from the hotel that we can walk to after we get back from the show. Sound OK? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canuck Posted July 25, 2012 Author Share Posted July 25, 2012 The club has provided some door prizes for the BBQ on Sunday but members can donate some if they like also. I have a few items I'm bringing. REALLY looking forward to this. Just a couple more days of work and then I'm on vacation for 2 weeks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
72-CLASSIC_RIDE Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 2 Weeks! I haven't had more than 7 days in a row off in years. Clearly, your going to require some retraining when you get back to work! Got this weekend to finish up my chores on the Monte, a couple days work next week, get packed up and Wednesday off to Jay's! Looking forward to meeting up with you all again this year. Doug Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canuck Posted July 26, 2012 Author Share Posted July 26, 2012 The weather forecast during the whole trip looks awesome. It looks like clear sunny skies for the entire drive from here to Carson City. Should be a great drive. The temperatures in Carson City are expected to be in the mid to high 90s during the event weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jays55 Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 I've had a house full of company that leaves tomorrow. Then less than a week to get the Monte ready......YIKES! Can't wait to see everyone for a "car vacation". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

72-CLASSIC_RIDE Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 Amost ready! Finished car with a good vacumming this A.M. Checked all the fluids (basically did a pre-flight inspection), gased her up, loaded the trunk, garaged and awaiting Wednesday. Other than personal needs to get thru the weekend, I'm good to go. Getting anxious for the drive to Jay's and the trip to Carson City Thursday A.M. I'm guessing it's gonna be a good one Doug Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canuck Posted July 28, 2012 Author Share Posted July 28, 2012 New rad hoses, flushed out rad, fresh coolant, adjusted dwell, adjusted timing... I'm ready for my 1,000 mile drive to Nevada! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jays55 Posted July 29, 2012 Share Posted July 29, 2012 Sounds like everyone is having a successful "preparation weekend"! Yesterday was a full day of work on my Monte, also; new steering wheel, upgraded burlwood dash installed (thanks Doug!), electrical glitches solved and some minor parts replaced. Today.....wash and wax and interior cleaning. Still trying to figure out a/c electrical/vacuum issues :-( BTW guys....I have a large cooler with extra room if you need it. Almost time!!!!!!

72-CLASSIC_RIDE Posted July 29, 2012 Share Posted July 29, 2012 Sounds like your getting there Jay! The A/C systems used for these cars can sure be a nightmare. Took me 5 years before I had mine where so far has stayed charged. I did notice some residual oil thrown on the inside of Hood and on driver side inner fender the other day. Got a bad feeling it is seeping out the front seals! So far very light spray and hope it stays functional until I get back home from the Meet. Matt & Christine may not get out of Portland until Wednesday late afternoon due to possible commitments. Will know more Tuesday evening & will advise then. Two more days of work, a hopefully good restful sleep, pack up the personals and hit the road Wednesday. Does anyone know if we will be able to stay as a group for the car show? I hadn't heard any discussion of it but may have missed it along the way. I'm going to have to MapQuest your location. Your in-between Redmond & Bend? Will advise Tuesday evening on itinerary. I trust you have all that you planned done. I keep thinking I could have done more detailing, but considering the distance we will drive, likely won't matter anyhow. Going for the fun, seeing you all, scenery & to relax! Thats what it's all about to me. Doug Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canuck Posted July 30, 2012 Author Share Posted July 30, 2012 Does anyone know if we will be able to stay as a group for the car show? I hadn't heard any discussion of it but may have missed it along the way. We are parking the same as we do for the events at past meets. We will all meet at the hotel first and then leave the hotel as a group at 7am. When we roll in to the show together, we'll be able to park together.

72-CLASSIC_RIDE Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 I'm with ya Aaron. Nuthin like cruisin with the windows down & listening to tunes on a nice day. With our short Summers (rain) the past few years, I take advantage of it every opportunity I get! Just the thought of it being there and not working makes me a little Heck, I never use the A/C in my Truck unless stuck in grid lock on the freeway at 90+ degrees! Just like to know it's there.
