Anchor Bay

[Skinner]

LOL Dean, just could'nt help it. It started out as a good thread, so lets pick it up where the good stuff was left. It would be a blast to go as long as it was a weekend of racing and not boxing. Can see it now,
"Jminor beats Skinners ass at anchor bay" and not on his sled,,,LOL
A litlle friendly competition Josh? I think Toydoc made you guys a hell of an offer to come come over there and have him help you get your stuff dialed in. Chris knows his shit and I would hate to see you guys throw an opportunity like that away over some chicken shit. The whole idea is to get your max the way (key word) "YOU" want it. Take advantage of the knowledge thats out there, could save you allot of money and headaches.

[racer7x]

I agree Skinner, lets start over with this......

AND KEEP IT CIVIL !!!!!!!!!!

[jminor]

motorhome. black tights and firecat loaded. Lets do this "geek-o-tech"

[Skinner]

motorhome. black tights and firecat loaded. Lets do this "geek-o-tech"

Da "RACE RIG"? LOL

[AL P]

Sounds great!! I was thinking of driving my old ragedy motorhome down there also, it aint much to look at, but it works.
maybe I should sneak down and see toydoc BEFORE the meet, and get a little spicing up help with my vmax4..LOL, really though, no doubt, he would be able to dial my sled in alot better then I, I`m still very wet behind the ears on clutching..but I do have a few clutch parts to work with..but in all reality, I`m running a heavy 240 studs, with steel backers, and I weight in at around 240lbs not to mention, my track likes to ratchet so I gotta run er a little tight, wish I would have been able to get the extroverts, so I could lesson the drag a bit, but ohh well, maybe later.., so anyway, I would`nt expect to be beating anyone in any races..but it would still be fun to play around..maybe I should rope a friend of mine that literaly stands about 5.6, and weighs about 135 soaking wet to ride it for me?? LOL, just kidding, but not about my friend, that is a true description of em..LOL

We could do a fake pinks thing, not really give up our sled, but just barger out races, and see who the best sandbager is.. LOL

[Jabber800]

How far would this be from S.S.M. Missed Jacobey and Sims would love to get together!! I'll referee the first match with jminor and skinner. Canada vs USA ultimate fighting style. LOL sled may not have to leave the trailer after that.

HE's GONE. Loaded the race rig with his F-7 and went AWOL. He found out I was building an Indy 500

I'll go!! Not sure if I can fit both sleds. I need to bring Canadian beer:drink1: and whiskey for barter!!!

[jminor]

actually I am considering this. What is the date and will I be forced to hear how Skinner only runs 660' and anything else is out of his tuning realm? I could probably get ya close on some setups since you have helped me out in the past. Thanks again dave. Black Knight. ..:17

[jminor]

Tony did you mapquest this from your location? I just may have to bring the F7 for this if you did?? LOL. Seriously 3:16 I think you know we kinda think alike about alot of things, love to see ya there.

[mark the shark]

Maybe I'll get this one out of storage in the barn and bring it along.

Shark

[AL P]

LOL, you win mark!!

speaking of distances, I would much rather run 660 myself..
obvioulsy some guys are gonna show up with lowered suspensions, ice pics, proper gearing for whatever distance, jetted right on the edge for the most power, crispy kreme donuts and all, but I`m just bringing my pretty much stock vmax4 trail sled, might have the pipes on it, but it wont be no where near setup for any kind of real drag racing, but still, it should be fun for all.

You ain't been forced to listen to shit!!!!!!!!!!! Remember, 14 feet and rubber bands Buddy. Better start tun'in, Ive got the twist on the band down pat, don't wanna change now. Holeshots awsome. I thought you were load'in "DA RACE RIG"?

[VMAX535]

Shark,

This is fabulous!!!! I just printed it and going to frame and hang it in garage.

[BUBS SRX]

When are your plans for The SOO trip?This is Near where Allen is trying to get riders to meet for the Stump Ride.Pine Stump is about 30-45 minutes further north,But I'm sure it does not have to be the specific destination.
Shark,Nice photo editing :rockon:

[AL P]

BUBS SRX. this meet is near detroit, or basicaly down that way anyway. not sure what ya mean by the soo??

whatever happens, I certainly would`nt want to to comflict with vmax4rules`es ride. again, not sure If i can make it to his ride, but would`nt feel right about having another meet going on at the same time..

AL

[BUBS SRX]

I call it The SOO because its short for Sault Saint Marie,I Am an hour from anchor bay.
What I was geting at is that if their trip is scheduled near the same relative time it could be possable to adjust with the guys to make one big happy ride.

[racer7x]

If I can make it, I wont be bringing my trail sled. Just the Vmax-4 for some testing and getting it setup to race ....

[BUBS SRX]

Al I read the beginning of the post incorrectly,For some reason I thought they were going to S.S.M. for a trip.I went back and read that Jabber was simply asking how far away it was from SSM to Anchor Bay.My Bad for the confusion guys

[jminor]

Is there a plan for racing anchor bay weather permitting or will Skinner be unable to peel his sled off the dyno for a little "real world hurt session" !!

[IZZ]

You guys really plan on meetin over there? Thats in my neck of the woods. Let me know, Id love to meet you guys up there.

[AL P]

for anchor bay to have good ice...

1. who thinks they may be able to make it..
2. what would you be bringing IE trail sled, race sled, ect?
3. what would be the best date/s for you?
4. what distance would you like to run if we line um up for fun?

AL P..my answers..

1. I should be able to make it.
2. I would be bringing my vmax4 trail sled, with pipes, and a little bit of clutching.
3. any date in feb except for the 10th, would probley be okay.
4. I prefer 660FT

Hey guys, I started another thread on this, so we can just get things figured out, without all the BS.
please keep your replys right to the point as far as if you can make it ect..and do all the bashing in fun, in the other anchor bay thread..

thanks..
AL

[VMAX535]

How does Feb. 3 & 4 work for everyone. There's bound to be ice by then. Toydoc does this date work for you?? Skinner would you make the trip? Where can we stay? Need a place with good food and beer!!!

[Skinner]

Al, can ya get the grizzwald mobile ready for the trip? "Hilton on the ice"

I would'nt bet on the Ice part Dan, may have to put paddle tracks in

[AL P]

yeah it should make it. not sure I`d wanna put the big heavy beast on the lake though.. let alone park my motor home on it..LOL

[Master of Faster]

I would bring my Vmax-4 and probably turbo RX-1. Date doesn't matter because I have no plans because there is no snow. I would wanna run 660 on the Vmax-4, any distance on the turbo.

[Skinner]

yeah it should make it. not sure I`d wanna put the big heavy beast on the lake though.. let alone park my motor home on it..LOL

Thats funny
BTW: Your signature ROCKS, LOL

[IZZ]

Anydates work for me, (no snow=unemployed) Ill bring my 800. I trail ride it. Distance dont matter to me. Id just wanna play with the limiters, suck up the front struts and tweak the carbs and clutch to see what it would do. Id just like to see some other v4s and how you guys got them setup and do some comparisons, try to learn me a thing or two ya know.

[dreaming-of-a-v-max-4]

i would be able to make it any weekend in feb thats if i get any snow to dial mine in before then

[DV8]

I can make it any weekend in Feb. The 750 would be coming.

[Skinner]

Thinkin about bringin the "sexy 69" 300 SUPER Olympic. Won't hurt so bad when we all fall through the ice

EDIT: I DID start another post, but its been moved to this one..
so maybe from here on out, we can get down to it, and see whats up...

thanks..
AL

[Skinner]

Answeres to your questions

Question 1) NO
Question 2) NONE
Question 3) N/A
Question 4) N/A

There ya go FATHER FLANNIGAN. Al, I think your replys to some of this is ridiculous. I will stay out of these posts as well as Josh, Tony, Quadzilla, and on and on. No sense in fighting, I hope you get the answeres your looking for

THE END

[AL P]

Look..there are guys that have posted in this thread, that are serious about meeting up, and have ask questions, and got absolutly no answers..
is it really too much to ask, to get down to bisiness? how about some feed back on date`s? how about some talk on place`s to stay? how about some talk on who would be bringing what? some guys have tried to do that, but others have just continued to post jokes,digs, ect..I`m not inocent myself, i`ve posted a few things also, but just think its time to get serious guys, and see if we can make it happen..
I`m not trying to be a dick here, but time is flying by, and would really like to get serious, and see what we can figure out, without all the confusion of extra post, that have absolutly nothing to do with meeting at anchor bay..

Jminor, if your still seriously considering making this, what dates are good for you?
would you be staying for the weekend?

Vmax535...I`ll try to get ahold of toydoc, and see what he thinks. as far as a place to stay, I`ll see what I can do about that also..

[BUBS SRX]

we need ice,My bet would be mid feb before thats safe enough.And I would still be leary then.8-10 inches and I'll be there

[Master of Faster]

Winter is on its way boys, the wait is almost over, trust me.

[AL P]

COOL, I certainly hope your right MOF!!

so far, the guys that are considering this, are...

MOF
VMAX535
jabber800
BUBS SRX
IZZ
DREAMING-OF-A-V-MAX-4
DV8
AL P
RACER7X?
JMINOR?
MARK THE SHARK?
:rockon:

I`ll see what I can figure out as far as places to stay, ect..
and..I think your right BUBS SRX, late feb may be our best chance of good ice, the way this weather has been, I cant see the ice being safe any sooner?
Anyway, hey guys, the thread may go dead for a few while we`ll wait to see whats gonna happen with the weather, but if you would..keep this meet in mind, if it does happen, their may not be a whole lotta time to get the ball rolling!!, but as it is, lets try to somewhat plan on late feb..
thanks for the interest everyone, I just cant tell ya how much I`d love to meet up with you guys, and do some riding together!!

AL

[BUBS SRX]

And just because the fishing guys are out there dont mean its safe,They can be risky in search off the perch and walleyes.At least we would have a chance to skip across the open water on the sleds from our runaway iceburgs.LOL

[IZZ]

I know your right Master. That cold air is swingin on down and if this moisture stays around like it has all year were in for some serious snow.
Maybe the old adage will hold true "Good things come to those who wait"

Im ready!
