Sounds good. I'll have my whole family with me so, I'll have to try and get a break and sneak out for a bit.
Tonight I'll probably stay in funky town and then tomorrow up near frisco. Not sure exactly where you guys live in the metroplex. I'll pm or text later when I get everything squared away.

I think the real question should be who's up & running?

Vadar's running, but I am about 98% sure he has a BHG so taking a trip in him isn't something I want to do until I can properly diagnose the probs.
On top of that the inspection is expired & I'm in no mood to get it to pass when it isn't even being driven.

I figure we can piggy back a meet on another groups meets. The 3000GT guys Texas meet is in Fort Worth sometime in Sept. Im sure I can get Satan back up and going by then.

honestly, we just don't have the time for a meet right now. maybe next spring but not right now.
too many things going on, too much to do that has to get done.

I'm running, I just have to get my inspection updated. I would like to do a meet with driving involved. I've got to check in with the MR Spyder guys and see when they're doing their meet. I'm pretty sure that is an annual thing. It was pretty good last year. I haven't heard from Paul (Mixmaster) lately. He was up and running and might be in for something.

yoooooooooooo!

I got super busy with the new house. My car is sitting at EMS powered with the motor out and new WRC motor next to it, waiting to go in. I finally got the missing parts I needed so should be up by the end of this month. Let me know if any of you are coming through or if you want to try and hit one of the local runs (Supra and MR2).

I thought Satan and Vadar were both back and running??? That sux!

Here's my email if any of you are looking for me
alltrac93@gmail.com

Keep me posted!

Vadar is running, just pretty sure the motor has a blown head gasket (BHG) will have to do a test to confirm, but it is showing a lot of the symptoms of head gasket failure unfortunately.
It's ok for driving across town, but I don't want to take an extended trip & have to tow it back home.

But towing is so much fun!! :doh:

Paul, are there any upcoming runs around that you know of? I don't hear about much down here.

3000GT get together is 10/7-10/9 drag racing, car show, speed zone and autocross. Best part is it will be here in DFW again this year so I will be going.

I will be going to this one but if any of you guys want to get together with another group thats fine also.

Satan runs but needs new gas, timing set, recleared and finish up the interior. Should be up and running by the 3kgt meet.

The same run as last year (with the MR Spyder guys) is happening the Saturday before Halloween. The 28th I think. Same route and meet points as last year. It was a lot of fun and good roads. You guys should try to make it if you can. Be nice to have another Celica in the group.

IF (big IF) we have Super 2 registered, inspected & running by then we'll try to make it down, otherwise we can do something in the spring time.
At least the unbearable heat appears to finally be breaking up here. I think it was only 99F today :crazy:

For some reason my updates to threads don't come to my email anymore.
If you guys decide to go, let me know. I should be ready in a couple of weeks.

Hope all is good. Super busy with work but just about ready to get back with the car.

lol Mike, that's what living down here does to you.

this was an especially brutal summer though - can't remember it being this bad since 1980.

Saturday is the day. I'm still planning on going. I think I got my hot start problem fixed this evening. This is a good run. If any of you can make it, it will be a good time. Hope to see some of you there!

I really wish we could make it Mike, but there's just no way we can right now.
The main goal is to finish up Super2 before really cold weather gets here & we are really putting all our energy & focus into that.
Please enjoy it for us & lemme know if there were any other MKI MR2s that come out.
