Midwestern Members - Purdue Cruise Sat NOV 7th

Who wants to get out for one more cruise.

Forecast is 60 and sunny for saturday!

I've had a few people ask about having just 1 more cruise before the salt and snow fly. Let's do it.

How about saturday afternoon. 3ish at the miejer parking lot on 26 and interstate 65. This will make it easier for people to find and gather.

Who's coming?

i'll be there assuming that my slave doesnt get anyworse on the trip there from kansas

Nice,
An outta state car. bring it on in. I've only seen one other Gold Ws6 in the area, Ever. Def. won't be many of those around.

Nate, I'm sorry, but I can't make this one either. I hope you guys have a great time though...the weather should absolutely rock.

im pretty sure that gold ws6 your thinking of is mine since im actually from darlington/crawfordsville area... i just live in kansas cause im stationed at ft. riley.

I will be going to Pro Dyno Tech in Thorntown to see if my car can spin the rollers.

It is the Papa Dyno Day but I think there are still some open spots. Its going to be like Saturday morning though.

$30 for 3 pulls with a/f I had to jump on the chance, never had anything I have owned on a dyno before.

After she gets off the Dyno shell be going back to Ohio to go away for the winter :( Damn I am sad that I missed the last one and this one too, I always have fun on these cruises.

*fixed* Thorton = Thorntown.

ThornTOWN haha, but yeah, you are killing me on the dates!

Sorry fella's,
This was just a last minute toss up. Weather is always questionable this time of year anyway. Just looked like nice weather, and I know a couple people have mentioned that 1 more for the year might hold them over till one of those warm clean days in jan/feb/march. We'll WILL be having another BIG one next spring. Last year we had 20 cars. Next spring I'd like to see 30, and I think It's VERY possible.
Nate

looks like im gonna dyno in the morning... and then head to laffy after that to see whats going on... hopefully my car will put down some decent numbers with my new clutch

hmm i might have to drive down for that.

whats the plan? cruise and then food somewhere?

If you were planning on running on the dyno with PAPA please PM me first, I am organizing the event and will need to make sure space is available to hold your spot.

^^

if that was directed @ me, no i'm not gonna be running on the dyno. that costs money. I haven't really done anything to my car since i dynoed it in 06. well i added the ram air but i heard that doesn't do anything on the dyno, so i'm sure my 245rwhp/283rwtq haven't changed much if any.

i might actually make my way there from NIU if you guys care, my fraternity has a house out there ive been wanting to go visit (dont hate) and will be going home on friday to get some stuff taken care of but i gotta wait for a new set of head lights to come so if they are in ill let you know

no i was the one looking into dynoing... my wife and i live like 10 min outside thorntown... so i gave them a call and was looking to get some info...

what fraternity if you don't mind me asking?


also, please contact SkullV about the dyno, he is the one running the show and can comment if there is room/ not room.

Ill go and watch

sigma alpha elpsilon... they have a nice house there from what ive heard/seen, im waiting for headlights i still dont know when they will be in.

so is this still going on? where/when is everyone meeting?

The get together is still on.

Looks like it could be kind of week though.

Looks like most people have either retired the car for the year, or already have other plans.

I'm guess 5-6 people. Let me know if you think you might be coming so we can wait up.

3:30 at the Meijer Parking lot in Lafayette, Close to the intersection of 26 and 65.

Nate

Yeah i should be down there. are we doing like a lunch/dinner thing after the cruise?

when you say "close to the intersection" what does that mean? if i'm coming from the north, which way do i want to go once i get off on 26?

i should be good for 330 wife gets off work at 3 so ill be cutting it close...

when/where is this dyno thing going on? i might come down to watch that ahead of time.

The dyno event is at Pro Dyno Tech in Thorntown, IN. I still have 2 spots open if anyone is interested. PM me.

FYI: I'm trying to trade the V for a Vette so if anyone locally is interested and wants to see it on the rollers come to the dyno day!!

i could come down for this cruise. i can get off work early maybe able to make it around 4 or 430. let me know if this is still going down i got a few guys that may come with me.

damn. i thought it'd be on my way to lafayette but thats a good 30 miles further south. I'll probably just go to the cruise/dinner/whatever

*edit i guess its not really 30 mi south since i'd be going to the south side of lafayette for the cruise anyway

what time does the dyno start? I'm not planning on dynoing, just watching/hanging out

Its starting pretty early. A group from PAPA is leaving Lafayette @ 8:15 and hopefully will be there by 9ish.

which is 7:15 my time (central). what time does it end? i was thinking of leaving around 8am tomorrow which would put me there around 10:30 eastern time.

What is PAPA anyway?

what time and where is the PAPA group meeting. I'll be going down to the Dyno event and wouldn't mind driving down with you guys.

Meijer:
Get off at the highway 26 exit on Interstate 65 south. Turn left (east) and go about 1/8 mile and it'll be on your right. Can't miss it. I'll be there around 3-3:15 and we'll try to leave around 3:30. I don't have any food to grill out. We could arrange a spot to eat dinner tomm if everyone is feeling up to it.

PLEASE call if you are coming but will be a little late.

Cool. I'm planning on getting up @ 7am (8 purdue time) and will hopefully be on the road by 7:30 and to the dyno around 9 my time. Its 114 miles so i'm guessing ~ 1.5-1.75 hrs since most of it is I65. I have both the Dyno and Meijers in my GPS already so i should be good there. Nate i'm gonna program your number into my cell phone right now. I'd definately be up for dinner. I didn't figure anyone wanted to grill out since it'll be dark by 5:30, lol.

Leaving here @ 8:15

See you there.
Nate

The dyno event will PROBABLY run untl 4-5PM so you will be just fine. I'm making a run list as we speak. We will be running RWD cars, then FWD cars, then diesels last since they smoke up the shop!

Had a lot of fun today. nice seeing everyone again :)

It was a fun long day... Sorry i wasnt able to meet everyone. I had the 94 Quasar blue Z. It was my first time on the dyno and i put down 293whp and 330ft/lbs with throwing codes so i might have been able to hit that 300 :(.. beautiful cars by the way guys...Wish i would have said hey..

Good times guys...found out my problem was a weak solenoid...it'll be going out Monday to be warrantied out....hope to see you guys around more often!

I had fun too, glad you guys came down and chilled for the dyno. I wish I could have come to the cruise too, as it was I didn't get back to Purdue until after 630 after 400 miles of driving today....

I was pumped about what my car made though. 412 rwhp / 418 rqtq

I want heads now though.

Nice numbers! :drive:

did you guys have any fun runs on the cruise? who ran who and what kind of results :)

On closed roads of course

Aaaahhhh.. you know a lil a this, and a lil a that... You should have been there.. lots of great sounds from some high HP cars tearing into into the asphalt!! :) :)
Small crowd, but probably one of the better cruises :)

Yes of course off roads! Thats why I brought my car with the "Off Road Use Only" add ons. ;)

well, yeah of course.

I wouldn't dream of driving my cat-less car on the street!

Too bad all of your cars are slow. I'm sure it would have been more interesting had my hot-rod been there.

^^

:lol:

I'm pretty sure 5 of the 7 cars on the cruise were putting down 450-500hp to the wheels or more. the only 2 "slow" cars were a stock 09 GT and my 95 T/A which put down 245rwhp the last time i dyno'd it.

I know right! I have some upgrading to do. I'll be ready in the spring ;):drive:
