Mystery Cruise for April 18th

[Too Fast]

Hello fellow V8 drivin' RWD appreciators. This is Steve Papai from the Indy Firebird Club, extending an invite for another Mystery Cruise. We shall meet at McDonalds at Kentucky Avenue and High School Rd, on the SW side of Indy. The planned leaving time is 9:00ish, so if you want to eat or mingle with others (maybe meet some new faces), get there before then. Note this is a SUNDAY, last fall we had a good turnout for a Sunday cruise and I thought I'd try it again. We may have some Mopar people in attendence as well, but I do try to limit these things to RWD V8 vehicles. All right, if it is a performance RWD vehicle of some sort, it would be allowed.

Any questions, post 'em up!

Steve

I have it on my calendar to come, but consider me 50/50. I havnt been able to participate in one of these yet, however have heard a lot of positive reviews on them!

To put my .02 in... I will probably NEVER be able to join them on Saturdays... I prefer them on Sundays as well!
Hope to see you on April 18th!

[Too Fast]

I now know about working on Saturdays. I worked downtown for 20 years, and it was a M-F job. Lost that last April, now the place I work is open 7 days a week, Saturday is almost mandatory. The only way to not have to work a Saturday is if you work the previous Sunday, then the next weekend you get Sat-Sun off, or maybe a 3 day weekend. No vacation time yet either, I did have 5 weeks! Bitter still, yes.

Hi Steve
We are looking forward to another great day to drive our cars and have fun with friends.
You can count on Roger and I.

[Too Fast]

Great, Barb. Now, the question is, which car will you guys drive? Nice to have choices!

[Mikeymo67]

Sound like a good time. My daughter is big fan of the Firebird. I'm sure she would love to see some of them.

[wickedstang]

My niece said she may wanna join as well (Mustang)... I also have a friend that has an uncle with a CUDA that may tag along!

[speedcityrocker]

I think my wife and I are going to try to do it.

[Too Fast]

Went for another preliminary drive on the route today, I must say that the weather cooperated even tho the police and tree crews did not. (no, I did not get pulled over!) However, the last 10 miles to the lunch destination were fantastic, hope to see some Mustangs on this cruise!!!!

[bbdohm]

I hope we are going to have some twisties and curves and hills. You always do a great job at finding some awesome roads for us. As far as what we will drive -
it's a suprise! Wait and See!!

We're hoping to be there, but some things have to fall into place.

[wickedstang]

I'm definitely a go for coming! I even went out and bought brand new tires just for this occasion this past weekend. I've been looking forward to it!

Only thing holding me back is weather. If it rains, i'm probably not gonna make it... so *crosses fingers for sunshine!!!*

[bbdohm]

Right now the weather man is saying - Sunny and 65. I hope he is right! The Mustangs might out number the Firebirds. Everyone ready to roll !!!! Last weekend we had 19 cars that traveled to Batesville. It is fun to watch the people standing and watching us parade thru their small towns and the little kids pointing at their favorite car. It was awesome!!!

Nothing fell into place. Have a good time everyone!

Well, about the hills we will encounter, let's just say that one time on this particular route I got all 4 wheels off the ground, I was not trying to do it. When I landed, my friend Bill said, "Did we just..." and I cut him off and said "ya, we did!" The car did not bottom out, or even scrape the headers. Gotta love the tucked-up Hooker long tubes and ORY! Anyway, Scott Scheel was behind me last Tuesday since he won't be able to make it Sunday, and he said some of the hills we hit, Too Fast would suddenly dissappear in an instant.

Yes that is fun watching the people in the small towns watching us parade by. Sometimes, since I'm the lead car on our cruises, I hit the horn or throw them a rev to get their attention so they can watch us all.

[speedcityrocker]

We will definitely be there!
