Offical: All User Meet // NW vs NE Crew Pinks Match // PostPoned
 

Well, me and chris (xenocron) have been talking this past month about making a "pinks" style car match up.. Similar to the TV show, where we (the NW crew) would build a car to race against him and (the NE crew). The winner of the race gets to keep the car. We came up with some very simple rules, and also wanted to have the "All user meet" at the same time to see if we can draw some people to the event. We are having this meet/event in St. Paul, Minnesota (with the TC Crew) July 8-9th. We are still figuring out what track we will be going to, but reguardless there will be racing at the track and the street ;)

Here are some of the rules that we have already set.

SOHC Honda Engine vtec or non vtec
EF Chasis 88-91
DOT Tires, any variant
If the car is going to be 11's you will need a rollball obviously.. but that's pushing it with DOT's
Doesnt need to be street legal
Doesnt need to be safe
Must have the title to the car
The build time will consist of 3 months
5 members min per team
The actual race will be done by all the builders, so everyone gets a chance 5 races (Best ET overall takes it)
Amount of money to spend (unlimited)

The Teams (members who are 100% confirmed and will be doing this!)

We will probably do racing on that Saturday, both crews have to travel well over 1000 miles to meet in MN, so I think we will actually be leaving on Wed or Thur. I think both crews are definatly going to be asking for any donation of parts. You guys can do that in this thread or PM's whatever..

Anyhow, this will go down in HMT history, I hope to see alot of people at this event, it's going to be alot of fun, both crews offical start building on April 9th.

If you plan on going to the meet, please post up so we can maybe get an idea of how many people will be there, I think alot of us will be staying at local motels or steve stealthmodes front yard... ;)

<<Update>>

The NW crew will be leaving July 6th, The race will be at http://www.cedarfallsraceway.com on June 8th (fun/grudge meet) We will be camping in steve stealthmodes front yard :)

<<UPDATE>>

This event is postponed until further notice, ne crew had a few problems that will need to get patched up and will be reschedualed for later.

Sorry

thats awesome. maybe a best 2 out of 3 pinks? I wouldnt want to see anyone loose because they couldnt hook on the first run.

Re: Offical: All User Meet // NW vs NE Crew Pinks Match // July 8-9 MN
 

I think 5 races is fair enough.

Re: Offical: All User Meet // NW vs NE Crew Pinks Match // July 8-9 MN

Re: Offical: All User Meet // NW vs NE Crew Pinks Match // July 8-9 MN

Re: Offical: All User Meet // NW vs NE Crew Pinks Match // July 8-9 MN
 

ah, i didnt read that part :1

Re: Offical: All User Meet // NW vs NE Crew Pinks Match // July 8-9 MN
 

i've got a A6 chillin in my backyard that i've been trying to get rid of, needs a rebuild, i believe the main problem with it is a bent valve?

i could probably give it up for cheap, assuming someone picks it up.

Re: Offical: All User Meet // NW vs NE Crew Pinks Match // July 8-9 MN

Re: Offical: All User Meet // NW vs NE Crew Pinks Match // July 8-9 MN
 

Damn, this sounds like fun

Re: Offical: All User Meet // NW vs NE Crew Pinks Match // July 8-9 MN
 

Fetch beers and give reach arounds probably as well.

Re: Offical: All User Meet // NW vs NE Crew Pinks Match // July 8-9 MN
 

I'll be there for sure, 100%. I might have a Z6 head to donate if a crew were to pay shipping.

Re: Offical: All User Meet // NW vs NE Crew Pinks Match // July 8-9 MN
 

i will definatly be there. although i will not be able to let anyone stay at my place due to not being the only one that lives here. although i will request both days off to kick it :y

Re: Offical: All User Meet // NW vs NE Crew Pinks Match // July 8-9 MN
 

damn that's far. But with my luck I'd be working anyways.

Re: Offical: All User Meet // NW vs NE Crew Pinks Match // July 8-9 MN
 

Ill be goin up for sure.

Re: Offical: All User Meet // NW vs NE Crew Pinks Match // July 8-9 MN
 

How far is Minnesota from Michigan? I may have to meet up and show my support for the NW's. Not going to bet my car though haha!

EDIT... yeah just read that the infamous red CRX is the car. It's late my bad. Anyhow, this sounds faarreaking awesome.

Re: Offical: All User Meet // NW vs NE Crew Pinks Match // July 8-9 MN
 

hmmm....i think i'm gonna talk to my shift manager and see if i can get some days off

Re: Offical: All User Meet // NW vs NE Crew Pinks Match // July 8-9 MN
 

ahhh the anticipation :D i hope alot of you guys are gonna show up to this thing, this is gonna be something your not gonna wanna pass up...

NE Crew > NW Crew :6

Re: Offical: All User Meet // NW vs NE Crew Pinks Match // July 8-9 MN
 

Can i join the team jeff?

parts i have to donate

z6 longblock (good head spun rod bearing)
Drag Radials
obd1 ecu
axles axles axles

probably a shitload more parts.

Re: Offical: All User Meet // NW vs NE Crew Pinks Match // July 8-9 MN
 

sorry josh, stolen parts are non donatable.

Re: Offical: All User Meet // NW vs NE Crew Pinks Match // July 8-9 MN
 

Damn, I wish I had some sort of skill to be able to volunteer to help. And sadly all I have are b series parts...

Re: Offical: All User Meet // NW vs NE Crew Pinks Match // July 8-9 MN
 

Ah I cant wait...the road trip there will be unfathomable. The time spent in TC will be, cough, cough 'unmentionable' (especially for those of us with long term lady friends)...and for the NW Crew, the ride home will be unpleassant but lighter ;)

Pick your sides fellas...no flip floppin, no tetering on the edge. If you have parts to donate...please let me know. If you want to show and help at our local build days, please PM me (serious Inquires only please). If you want to be a serious sponsoring member (you wanna ------- drive?) let me know that as well...

Damn...video footage wont even come close to the experience of being at this thing. I dont care if you are in Puerto Rico...you better get some time off from work, get a plane ticket or hop on a bus...YOU WILL NOT WANT TO MISS THIS EVENT!

Re: Offical: All User Meet // NW vs NE Crew Pinks Match // July 8-9 MN

Re: Offical: All User Meet // NW vs NE Crew Pinks Match // July 8-9 MN

Re: Offical: All User Meet // NW vs NE Crew Pinks Match // July 8-9 MN
 

Time to cash in those paid vacations days I've been saving! This is gonna be a blast!

Re: Offical: All User Meet // NW vs NE Crew Pinks Match // July 8-9 MN

Re: Offical: All User Meet // NW vs NE Crew Pinks Match // July 8-9 MN
 

jeff if your going obd1 with this one ill throw a socketed ecu your way, let me know

Re: Offical: All User Meet // NW vs NE Crew Pinks Match // July 8-9 MN
 

Sounds like a good time!

I have some parts I could donate to the NW crew car if they are needed. I could also help build it if needed.

Or, I could just bring some homebrew and get everyone piss drunk.

Oh, I also can get parts super cheap. So let me know if anything is needed and I'll see what I can do.

P.S. There's no way the NE crew will take the NW crew. ;)

Re: Offical: All User Meet // NW vs NE Crew Pinks Match // July 8-9 MN
 

if colin cant, i can pick you up. as long as its on july 8-9 ;), whether the ne or the nw crew wins. its going to be a good ------- time. If you dont make it, i say jeff should ban all!!! >:D

Re: Offical: All User Meet // NW vs NE Crew Pinks Match // July 8-9 MN
 

20+ Hour drive for you NE peoples. I checked from my house...1300miles. :S

Re: Offical: All User Meet // NW vs NE Crew Pinks Match // July 8-9 MN
 

were prepared for that drive.

Re: Offical: All User Meet // NW vs NE Crew Pinks Match // July 8-9 MN
 

you got some couches too?

friend and i are thinking about flying out for a couple days just to be there, so far the best i've seen is approx $500 per person round trip.. so we could use a HMT Motel, haha

from seattle, mapquest sez:
"Total Est. Time: 23 hours, 45 minutes
Total Est. Distance: 1668.22 miles"

so actually, the location does seem pretty much right in the middle :S

Re: Offical: All User Meet // NW vs NE Crew Pinks Match // July 8-9 MN
 

damn, now I have to come, 1200 miles is gonna be a bitch!! :S OH well, this will be monumental in HMT history, so who's housing nig nogs cuz I don't feel like payin for a hotel, but i'll put up some beer money and ----.

Re: Offical: All User Meet // NW vs NE Crew Pinks Match // July 8-9 MN
