July 16th, Speed-Source Meet!!!!

[oneandgone]

Well, we've finally nailed down a date and the details and have room for 100+ cars! We want every spot filled, which shouldn't be to difficult to accomplish so come on out!! Any Toyota is welcome, but we have some buddies with Hondas, Mitsus, Nissans, etc that will be coming so if you have a buddy that wants to come, but drives one of those he won't feel too out of place.

What: Meet/Show-N-Shine/Open House

Where: Speed-Source located in Mahomet, IL 10 miles west of Champaign/Urbana.

Directions!! http://maps.google.com/maps?q=135+CR+1900N+seymour+IL&ll=40.159984,-88.363037&spn=0.094970,0.158838&hl=en

When: July 16th from 1 PM untill ????

Details/Activities: Open House, Show-N-Shine, BBQ, and Prizes!!

The plan is to hang out at the shop, let everyone chit-chat, eat, and check out each others cars.
After that there's a place in Champaign where everyone hangs out with their imports, hot rods, bikes, mini trucks, etc...that we could stop at if anyone wants to. Also, there is plenty of night life with the U of I campus here and all. Plenty of bars of all types, a Hooters, a strip club, night clubs, etc...

I'll get a physical address posted asap so that you can do a mapquest. I'll also add any other updates as they become available.

Ok, there it is. You've got 2.5 months to get the car running and the weekend off work so get busy!!!!!!

[kylemartin]

The Toyota Motorsports USA Museum has signed on as a attendee and a sponsor. The will be bringing a tractor trailer loaded with 2x historic MR2s, 1 Spyder and 2x Supras. They will be giving away gifts on all three days of the meet.

[kylemartin]

:drink1: i allso posted the July 16th, Speed-Source Meet!!!! On the MR2 board in the mid-west regional forum

[oneandgone]

Kyle, Glad to hear you're coming! Thanks for posting about the meet on the MR2 board. I thought Carl was going to, but maybe he hasn't yet.

If you need some parts from Carl just send him an email at cacrawfo@speed-source.net and I'm sure he'll take care of you as soon as possible. Or just lmk what it is that you need and I'll make the arrangements.

Funny that you mention the Kansas meet. We're already making our plans to go. I think we're going to trailer my Supra behind the Astro, and I'm going to drive his MKI. Sounds like it's going to be a blast!

[Eriol]

OOOOOOOHHHH, road course. Damn I wish I could go to that! (the Kansas thing)


*curses* Stupid job.

[Blue87T(Dan)]

KS meet looks well organized. Why is the Lotus part of the meet?

I won't be able to make the Speed-Source meet. I will be on my way up to northern Michigan for vacation.

Haha, the assvett rocks!...it ain't much to look at though! lol!

Carl was going to send it today when he shipped a bunch of stuff, but accidentally left it behind. He'll have it out before the weekend, I'm sure. Did you order one of the fan panels? Or am I just loopy?

[kylemartin]

ya the fan pannel LOOPY haha

[oneandgone]

ya the fan pannel LOOPY haha

Ok, ok! lol! Have you seen them in person yet? They're pretty nice imo. Polish that thing up and it'll look amazing!

[oneandgone]

Heh, you can't look at both at the same time! lol! Anyway, I asked him about it today and he said he shipped it the other day...I didn't ask which other day though...regardless, if you don't have it yet you will really soon!

[kylemartin]

Got the fan panel today . the stupid ups guys bent the hell out of one of the corners but i hammered it out with my trusty Snap-on soft face hammer and its all good.

[Eriol]

Argh... that's why I NEVER let a seller ship something to me by UPS if I can avoid it... the extra little bit Fedex charges is worth it to get my package intact.

[oneandgone]

Ouch! Sorry to hear it got damaged, Kyle. Are you sure you're ok with it?

one more thing

Quoted from http://www.autofieldguide.com/articles/060402.html :

Toyota and Lotus have a long history. [Roger] Becker [Lotus senior vehicle consultant] helped develop the second-generation Toyota Supra's suspension in the late 1970s, and Lotus reportedly designed a 1,500-hp 1.5-liter turbo- and supercharged V6 Toyota F1 engine that never raced. Toyota also held a 21% stake in Lotus from 1983 to 1986, and Toyota parts were used in Lotus vehicles.



Ouch! Sorry to hear it got damaged, Kyle. Are you sure you're ok with it?

its all good now even Carl would not know it was bent to hell..

[mkiiSupraMan18]

I'd love to make it Grant, but work..... I'm not sure they'll even let me off for Chicago.... The sad thing is..... the 3 of us that are there to transport the patients.... I could do by myself, so why can't 2 women? crapp... I'm like flippin out... Anyway, I'll send pics of the Supra's replacement when I get'er done.... you gonna like it Grant.... I gar-un-tee.... :icon_wink

I'm fairly sure it'll run circles around the 82... I need to change my sig now.... *sigh*...

[oneandgone]

Hopefully you can make both, or at least one. I'm sure you're very busy right now, and understand completely. Get some pics up of the new ride!!

[oneandgone]

I just wanted to bump this up as it's only 1 week away now!

I can't get mapquest to bring up the exact addy, but it's very easy to get to. The address is...

RR138 1900 North
Seymour, IL

If you are coming from...

If coming from I-57 or I-74

Take I-57 South or North depending on where you are coming from to I-74 West. Exit I-74 @ Mahomet, IL Rt 47 South. You will follow Rt 47 through town. It jogs at one point to the right a couple blocks, then back left. There is a stop light at each point that it jogs. Follow RT 47 South about 1 mile South of Mahomet. Turn right ( You will now be heading West) onto 1900 North. There is a green sign on the right side of the road with a white pig on it and in white writing it says "The Pig Sign". Follow 1900 North 3/4 mile. You will be stopping at the second house on your left. You can't miss it, there will be lots of cars and there's a huge machine shed.

If coming from I-72

Take the Mahomet exit and head North. You will go approximately 2 miles and take a left onto 1900 North. There is a green sign on the right side of the road with a white pig on it and in white writing it says "The Pig Sign". Follow 1900 North 3/4 mile. You will be stopping at the second house on your left. You can't miss it, there will be lots of cars and there's a huge machine shed.

If anyone needs better directions, or if you're worried you may get lost pm me and I'll give you my cell ##. I hope to see several of you here!!

[kylemartin]

use google map copy and paste this--> 138 CR-1900 N, Seymour, IL 61875
Is that right grant?

[oneandgone]

Sorry Kyle, that took us quite a way South-West of where we are. I really don't know why it won't come up on mapquest...

IF you mapquest for the intersection of I-47 and 1900 North Mahomet, IL the correct intersection will come up and you can actually see where we're at. It just won't show the address for some reason.

[oneandgone]

I finally have good directions for you guys!! I apparently had the addy wrong. I thought it was 138, when it's 135! My bad!!

[kylemartin]

Me and mondo will be there pretty early and mabe wes if i can get a hold of him.

[oneandgone]

Well, we had a great turnout of around 35 cars and had a good time. Only one other Supra owner came, but I'm not too shocked about that with CHI2K5 only being 2 weeks away. I took a couple pics of the group of cars that showed...

[oneandgone]

More pics...
