Let's do it boys....Saturday March 3rd, 7:00 @ Burger Master. It looks like we might have a break in the weather but who believes those dumb asses anyway. If it is nice, I don't want any excuses about something not working or my car is sounding funny. If anyone needs help getting there car ready (anytime not just this week) put out a yell and we will try and rally and help out...:thumbsup: That should also go for anyone who has or needs parts for their rides. Put out a yell.
Are you in...:beers: :beers: :beers:

Ill be there...

"I don't want any excuses about something not working or my car is sounding funny. If anyone needs help getting there car ready (anytime not just this week) put out a yell and we will try and rally and help out"

if anyone needs help with a car Im happy to lend a hand too

BTW- Where is Burger Master ?

BTW- Where is Burger Master ?

Bothell Everett Highway about the 19500 block.

I'll probably start out up in Clearview at the MCdonalds cruise-in at 5, and then meander down to Bugermaster around 7ish.

In case anyone else wants to hit to get to clearview first-

Take Bothell Everett highway North to 180th ST
Turn Right on 180th- Go straight for about 5 miles
Turn left onto Highway 9
Turn left at the first stoplight (you will see a Mcdonalds on the corner)
Turn Right into the parking lot

Park where the classic cars are :D

UMMM, would you please be a tad more specific about that? I gotta do the MapQuest thing. If I go north on the 5, where do I go from there? I'm there if I can find it:D

Mark

i think these are the addresses (I map quested them earlier)
Burgermaster
18626 bothell everett hwy, Bothell wa

clearview albertsons
19500 highway 99 ste 110, Lynnwood wa 98036

Thanks, it seems to be easy to get to from Yelm. Hope the weather and my new valve seals hold!!

BurgerMaster is about 2 miles to the North on Bothell Everett Highway if you're coming from I-405. The exit is about 3 miles down 405 from I-5.
Does that help?

You got burger master right, but thats way off for the clearview albertsons/mcdonalds cruise in... that address is someplace in lynnwood.

This is the correct address for the Clearview cruise in...

17520 State Route 9 Se
Snohomish, WA 98296-8320, US (http://www.mapquest.com/maps/map.adp?addtohistory=&address=17520%20State%20Route%209%20Se&city=Snohomish&state=WA&zipcode=98296%2d8320&country=US&geodiff=1)

Address is Snohomish, but is not really anywhere close to the town of Snohomish... its just 3 or 4 mins up straight the road from the burgermaster.

:-)

Bothell/Everett Hwy is exit #26 on I-405. Yelm is kind of far, but it will be nice to meet you. (I grew up in Tenino and still race hydroplanes on Lawrence lake) If you come up I-5, take the I-405 exit south just past Lynnwood and Exit #26 is the first exit, turn left(north) and follow ben's directions above to Clearview. On the way to clearview you will go by Burgermaster, it will be on your left. See you all Saturday.

(I grew up in Tenino and still race hydroplanes on Lawrence lake)
I live on Lawrence Lake. See you in the summer!

Dang I gotta my annual guard AT stuff starting on Saturday. :pout: otherwise I'd pop up in the T/A. A little far for the 4.10s in Old Blue.

I really like that color

I should be working OT that day but will be home around 5:00... I'll grab my Buick pick up the kids from grandmas and head to where you guys are.
I 'll head past BMasters on the way to Clearview.. I 'll run into you guys somewhere.

I can't wait!

Greg

Greg- I also have family stuff going on that day. That is why I threw out 7:00pm. I will try and get out early to meet at Clearview but do not know what time. Do I need to wash my car...;)

I thought you retired?? I was thinking of driving my truck since its a far piece but what the hell, I've gone farther than this for a show and cruise. The battery needs charged anyway;)

I'm afraid to wash mine.. it might go from flat black to grey primer if I do...:D

Nah, I am eligible but I am shooting for 26 years and go out as an E-7 or possibly E-8. The difference is a chunk o' change :cool:

I have 4 more to go for 25, that's what I'm shooting for. The retirement is awesome!! Now all I have to do is live long enough............

Maybe I can get a kitchen pass.......put the AHSOM 2.56 gears to work in my Elky.......Maybe see if Dangerous Dennis would like to break in his new gearset in his ride too........

George

Hey,

I retired from the US Army Active Duty with 20 years in last 30 APR. That retirement pay every month is very nice! Pays the bills but not too much else! The good part is that anything plus the Retirment check is gravy!!!!

Scouts Out!

why is it snowing?.... why ?

I live one mile from cleaview and I have about 3.5 inches of snow on the ground right now! Our weather is crazy, it changes faster than my wifes moods.

Hehe, I can't believe you guys are planning all this before April. I would consider an all day cruise up if the weather wasn't so bad. It's not really the rain, but the left over gravel from sanding the roads.
Rob

I think SOMEBODY sent this snow south from Alger... not naming any names...:cool:

It looks like we're winging it this weekend...I hate this god forsaken place...:mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:

BTW, thanks Brett for the compliment! :D

(sigh) well... I guess I know where Ill be all weekend. Camped out in the garage installing a posi in my truck... with my friend bud light helping

I will throw out an open invite to everyone if this weekend gets rained out. If anyone or everyone wants to hookup at my house for some cold ones or a mixed drink and a little pinball or foosball.....Come on Over...:beers: :beers: :beers:
I have a great rec room down stairs big enough for all of you. I know it wouldn't be the same as meeting up with all the rides but I'm always up for a party...:D

That sounds like fun Frank, thanks for the invite.

I think SOMEBODY sent this snow south from Alger... not naming any names...:cool:

What can I say.............I got tired of it.:yes:

Where you at in Everrett, we should all get together sometime. I just may be a while till the cars are there.

I'll try my best to make it! :D

Almost a foot of snow this morning, but it will be 68 and sunny for half the day tomorrow and 40 and raining the other half!

HA! HA!, just got about an inch or two here. It's all gone now, and about 42*.

Almost a foot of snow this morning, but it will be 68 and sunny for half the day tomorrow and 40 and raining the other half!

yup- same here... Millcreek got hammered with 8" or so. My friends wife was home all day, and it never stopped snowing... 8am till 10pm...

I read in the newspaper about the 60 car pileup on the pass, what was the deal? Obviously conditions were bad, why cant people go slower and not follow so damn close? Im sorry but there had to be alot of irresponsible drivers for 60 cars to crash unless there is something I dont know about. Anything I dont know that caused so many cars to crash? :beers:

PS: I am installing the Jeep Grand Cherokee steering box this weekend, very excited, this thing is scary at freeway speeds. I cant really keep it in the lane very well. I should be home first week of may to cruise with you guys, cant wait! :hurray:

Depending on how my Posi install goes I could be game. Could go two ways here... It could go poorly driving me to drink, or it could go poorly sending me to the couch PO'ed

Keep us updated on the plan !

Ben, I may have found a set of original '68 SS fender emblems. I cannot remember which one you said were correct for your car. He said he thinks they say SS with the 396 under that and will look for me this weekend. He's an old timer that has been friends with my dad for years and has lots of parts and pieces off many cars. I will let you what I find out and hopefully they are the set you are looking for. I have not contacted your friend with the wheels yet, had to repair the wifes daily driver with most of the income tax return. If he still has them in early April I'll buy'em. Thanks for the lead and have fun playing in the snow.

Wish me luck...I am going to see how the Chevelle does out in 30* weather....with no heater...brrr

I took mine out several weeks ago in the upper 30's. It liked it alot.:thumbsup: I didn't notice the cold so much, had a pretty good adreneline rush going.:D

Holy Crap that thing moves like a son of a gun. This thing loves the cold too. I can't wait to get together with everyone. See you guys Sat....:hurray:

For those of you who dont yet know Franky, here is a pic of his 69ss and his kids. This was taken this summer at the Smokey Point Les Schwab chevelles/el caminos show. He took home a prize, I cant remember though, I believe it was 2nd place for 69's. Anyway here it is. Hopefully he updates the pic he has in his signature, as its smaller than a postage stamp! Cmon Frank.... :noway:

http://i52.photobucket.com/albums/g34/Brettd85/DSCN0173.jpg

You can see my 68 El camino barely in the background. Here is a pic of it at the same show. I took home 2nd place for 68 el camino's. Too bad I think there were only 3 there... :( Still pretty exciting for my first show. Cant wait to cruise with all of you!

http://i52.photobucket.com/albums/g34/Brettd85/DSCN0112.jpg

Aint she sexy!? :yes:

Heres a candid photo of Frank and his son, I wonder who they voted for? No wonder I didnt get first place for El Caminos! :mad:

http://i52.photobucket.com/albums/g34/Brettd85/DSCN0120.jpg

Ok, one more photo that I took at the show. This was in the back of this 69 El Camino.

If any of you were at the show and want a pic of your car, let me know. I took a picture of every car there in highest quality. There may be people in front or something else wrong, but still worth it. Sorry if you dont have a fast internet connection. Well I have to go for now, I am in college and about to play some beer pong! YEAH! :beers:

I suppose I should also post some pics of me while I am at it. This is a picture of me and my scratch built aircraft. It is one of a kind. This is my other hobby which consumed almost all of my time growing up, before I got into cars. Without airplanes I dont know what I would be doing now. Aircraft pretty much got me into all things mechanical, I am now studying mechanical engineering. Even as a little kid though I loved to take stuff apart and build things. For my moms birthday when I was young I built an exercise machine out of boxes and bungee chords. My favorite material was duct tape, I used to always get a pack for Christmas. The plane is 27 lbs and has an 80cc gasoline single cylinder 2 stroke engine. Has enough power to hover, and then accelerate upwards. For reference I stand 5' 10.5" to be exact. I love RC planes, and cant wait to fly some more this summer. These pics are taken at Marrymoore in Redmond, WA.

Sorry they are low quality. I had to scan in existing pictures as I do not have any taken with a digital camera.

Dude- Cool airplanes. How fast do those things go? Probably a little faster then the old E.C. I bet...:boxing:
Thanks for posting the great pictures from the car show, they look great...:thumbsup:
We'll see you soon hopefully.

I don't know if any you local guys enjoy the drag races, but when I'm not racing the hydroplanes ( www.jjwhydroplaneracing.com ) in the summer I go over to the penninsula and catch the races at Bremerton raceway. I took a few pic's last year, lots of nice cars and a fellow TC'er Mike (loader1) gave me a ride in his '67. I'll keep an eye on the schedule and let you all know when the good races are.

lol, Frank, Frank, Frank. Talkin' more $hit... :noway: Just consider yourself lucky Im not back home. My El Camino is very fast thankyou very much! With the overdrive transmission I am actually gear limited at 174 mph, can your muncie and your lil' 468CI do that? :noway:

That airplane probably can do about 100 mph. It isnt really built for speed though, just aerobatics with lots of power. I had a 1/6 scale spitfire that would do 100 mph on fast strafing flyby's looked pretty cool. Some racing aircraft do excess of 200 mph.

Mike,

I have never actually been to a drag strip. I guess I would probably go to Bremerton? I am located in Seattle right off of 520 bridge during the summer. If I go you will have to show me the ropes. I would like to get a base time with the 350 before I build a 406, if it isnt too embarrassing slow that is. I think I am track worthy now though. I put a battery strap on it, not a bungee chord anymore. I also put in a radiator overflow bottle. Do I have to do anything else? Isnt there something about amount of rubber tubing to the carburetor for gas?

Those planes are really cool. A few of my buddies live on a lake and have many float planes and sure looks like fun. I'm too afraid to get into it, it would probably be a crash fest. Must be a great feeling to build and fly your own.

Mike, you show me the drag strip, I will teach you to fly. It is by no means easy, everyone thinks they are toys and fly themselves. However, anyone with good eye hand coordination, and a little knowledge of aircraft can learn. We have a buddy chord setup which connects 2 transmitters with chord. If you lose control, I release a switch, and now I have control. That way if you crash, its the instructors fault. If you really want to get it, I know it in and out, just ask away. :beers:

It has been awhile for me, I go and watch mostly these days. My '66 is still ready for the track but I have not run it in years. A good friend races his '65 chevelle and runs 10.30's with a streetable 427. There are a lot of cars racing and the parking lot is like a car show on the nice days. I will have to look into the rules. My fuel lines are stainless braided lines, overflow radiator tank, drive shaft hoop and battery shut off switch. Friday nights are fun for beginers and there are less cars there so you can get i more passes. I might have to look into it. My bone stock '70 should pull off a 19.0 with some tunning!

Ever seen a WWII era japanese Zero with floats? It is cool to watch it fly, my friend is working on a P-38 Lightning and it should be done by this summer. I think I'll stick to watching for now, my wife will kill me if I pick up another hobby. The boat racing with a limited team and working on turbine engines for the unlimiteds takes most of my summers. I was gone for three strait months last year towing the boats all over the country and even went to New Zealand last febuary. Won the world championships for my class there too!! I hope to be home more this summer and drive the cars some. I put about 28 miles on the '66 last year and that was to a Lake Sammamish race!

I have not seen a zero with floats, pretty sure the Japanese never put floats on the zero. I have seen a Kawasaki KI-43 something or other, that looks alot like a zero with floats. The cool thing is they have a single large float in the center, and lil' wingtip floats for stability. It leans to one side until you get enough speed to have control and just be riding on the center float. I love when they get up on step, and just glide across the water, similar to your boats I assume. I have only been float plane flying a few times. I built some really cool floats for my 1/4 scale L-4 piper cub in military camo, but sold them before I ever flew it on water. :sad:

Brett,

Yes, the Japanese DID put a float on the Zero, A6M2N. Allied codename was RUFE.

I gotta give Brett some props..........
I built an RC airplace once,took me 6 months.
flew it for about 20 seconds,picked up the bigger chunks & got in RC cars.

was/am real good with them, I may get back into racing them now that I'm thinking about them.
I still got all of my stuff, I may as well.
gets expensive with The chevelle,shooting guns & RC cars as hobbies.

Wow, it sure dose seem this was many years ago:) That first first impression of Mike and the ride in his '67 is permanently burned in my brain, my favorite day at the track:D

I live on Lawrence Lake. See you in the summer!

One of the guys i work with lives on Lawrence Lake they just got done building a house there his name is larry

One of the guys i work with lives on Lawrence Lake they just got done building a house there his name is larry

I moved from there last May. Ask the guy if he remembers a guy with a silver chevelle. I'll bet it's one of the guys that lived right across from me.
