Slo-Cal Barbeque

[teddisnoke]

We've talked about it- and it won't fall through the cracks. I want to try to throw our So Cal Nova group a get-together. It's going to be either the first or second weekend in Sept. Hopefully- this will be enough of a heads-up so that all who can attend can mark the calender. I'm hoping that everyone who has a car can drive it. Then after later in the evening, we can try and hit a cruise night, or just have our own cruise. I'd ask that you guys let me know in the next couple weeks so I can get a head count. I'm going to line up a well- known mobile taco grill that makes killer food to show up and maybe we'll get some well known and historic Novas to make it too. Thanks and I hope all can attend. Dale

[Cage]

Count me in for 2 spaces and my share of overhead.

I just hope it's not on 9/3, that's my son's birthday.

Mark

[NEVER FINISHED64]

I'm hoping that everyone who has a car can drive it.
Thats wishfull thinking for me, with my reaction times.:eek:
You can count on me plus at least one more.

[the FLYER]

i'd like to attend !!! :D


maybe it'll be during the time Jonesy and Tania are out from Minnesota on vacation... i ferget the dates but we'll be between Vegas and the D-shop during September... be cool if Jeff & Tania could attend.



i'd be happy to contribute to the fund also Dale.







the Rotten one :D

[NIGHTSHADE]

Just a little too early, we're plannin on bieng out on Sept 22-23 sorry we'll have to miss it!:(

[Fast Eddie]

Keep us informed. So far this year I haven't had time to attend any get-togethers or car shows of any kind. September might just work for me.

[NOGO]

Count me in! Ill bring PLENTY of liquid contributions!!!;) :D

[undercvrSS]

Dale, if it's the first or second weekend, count Suzy and I in. I'm sure my dad would like to attend to if you don't mind. Let me know if I can be of any help. Maybe I can get one of the Super Chevy editors to come and take some pics.

[Blurr]

i know i'm the new kid on the board but this would be fun to attend. hopefully the wagon (and our bank account) will be feeling better by September.

[keithsixty3]

When you decide which weekend,I'll let you know,I work every other weekend.Sounds like fun.Keith

[DriveWFO]

Can I conference in via webcam? :D

[1qwikss]

sounds like a good time, count me in.

[bowtie0069]

Well, I don't know Dale---that 6 or 7 blocks between my house and yours could be kinda tough! I'll try, but after I get the bottle re-filled, I might not have an engine!!

[the FLYER]

maybe he'll pick ya up on his bicycle :rolleyes: :D

[sixtysixdeuce]

Hi Dale,

Count me in, plus one. Hope to have the sedan on the road by then.

I'll hit the market for some cold one's on the way up :p

[bigdre63]

are chevelles allowed since i do not have a nova?

[teddisnoke]

We'll let you through since you are a nice guy! Looks like I'm going for the first Sat. in Sept. That'll work for 'Cage ??? You had that Sunday booked up, right? We'll try and get Augie to bring his injected altered out. Maybe the Wilshire Shaker can be towed in on it's hind quarters since it donated it's front end to (GULP !) The Fairmont Funny !!!! I looked into having it at a local public park, but that won't fly with beverages and the local law, so it'll be at the spread. Got a nice, quiet street (not for long) and good neighbors as long as no-one leaves black stripes down the middle. There's a big school parking lot around the corner- never know who might show up from the mag's to get a group shot of hot srteet iron. Either way, I'll tell about 60 or so heads at seven tacos apiece (King Taco is good ---- these guys I'm trying to line up pull off major authentica) and we'll have a blast. Dave- your dad is always welcome, you know that!!!

[teddisnoke]

These guys are BETTER than King Taco. I know, how do you trust a white boy about authentic Jalisco style tacos? Um- I'll give you a refund if you think they are not? ;) :D My wife says they make one of the hottest red and green sauces around. ;) I prefer to stay away from that stuff.

['69Novajoe]

Hey Dale, What's the distance from Laguna Hills?? I would love to make it! I would feel safer on the freeway if I could caravan with some other guys though. It's just plain dangerous doing 53.5 mph in the slow lane!! Thanks for getting the "ball rolling".

[bowtie0069]

What's the distance from Laguna Hills??

Mapquest calls it 46 miles. Of course, if there's a long way to get somewhere, Mapquest will find it! They must be in bed with the oil companies, or tire manufacturers.(it's a conspiracy I tell ya!)

[JJ66]

You know where its going to be held?

[bowtie0069]

You know where its going to be held?

Dale's(teddisnoke)house in Glendora. A bit of a drive from Morgan Hill.

[the FLYER]

A bit of a drive from Morgan Hill.


maybe it's all down hill and he can coast ;) :D :D :D


Yo Mike, Dale said he tried or was gonna try and drag ya with him out ta my pad the other day... shoulda came up. would have been cool ta meet ya ;)

maybe next time ;)

be Good :D

[bowtie0069]

Yo Mike, Dale said he tried or was gonna try and drag ya with him out ta my pad the other day

I'm only allowed out of the asylum for short periods of time; something about my meds not strong enough I think.

[the FLYER]

HA !!! you & me must go to the same doctors ;)

i carry my "meds" with me at all times ;) :D :D :D



be Good !!! :D

[71nova]

count me and emily in!

[66 WICKED WGN]

Count me in.... just let us know the date!!
Christian

[teddisnoke]

The date will be Sept. 2nd, late afternoon.I just got off the phone with "The Original Mobile Taco Grill". They stay for about three hours, that ought to give us enough time to eat, then go cruise if we want. They have a minimum of fifty people, so I guess if less show, more food for us. We are inked in.;)

[undercvrSS]

That's awesome Dale.

By the way, you have a PM.

[1qwikss]

that sounds real good, i'm always up for tacos!
and you can't scare me with tales of hot sauce either, hot doesn't bother me.
it'll be nice to have a big nova cruise afterwards too.

[NovaFan63]

Sounds Great Dale....Now I will have to convince the wife to let me go. Normally it wouldn't be a problem but that is our one year wedding anniversary, I am trying to convince her there wouldn't be any greater way to spend our anniversary than hanging out with all the Nova guys. :D

I'll see what I can do and let you know.

David

[CraigT]

Hmmmm......26 miles from Fontana to Glendora......I should have my $$@# running by then. Maybe I can trailer to the school and drive over to the neighborhood......just how good of neighbors do you have Dale......is 4" exhaust pushing it?

Craig

[teddisnoke]

Don't think so. I've already started to make the rounds inviting them.;) Half the street is into old cars anyhow. But usually after ten at night,things are quiet. I'd figured we'd all have been out driving to somewhere or packing it in by then. By the way, Chad. Try to convince your dad to maybe come, huh? I've got a feeling he's got a few good stories from his street racing days he'd like to share?

[teddisnoke]

Gee, why should I worry. Mike's driven his high-screaming wonder over here! It's been the loudest car I've ever heard on a street!

[blown67]

Dale,
Count me plus one in, just in case I can talk someone into keeping me company for the ride out. Is there anything I can bring? Sodas? Beer? Ect.? Let me know. Thanks for the invite.
Brian
P.S. I am coming from the South Bay. Anyone who wants to caravan there, let me know. Chad? Dre? Mario, we can meet like last time, if you are interested. Maybe Christian, NovaJoe and Cage can get the O.C. guys together and we can all meet up off the 57 and 60, then roll in at the same time? Just a thought......

[teddisnoke]

I like the idea of cruising up as a group. I just got back from our annual block party and let everyone know about it, asked that if anyone had any issues to please let me know before anyone anonymously made a phone call. As expected half the group wanted to be invited!!! One asked if he can roll his unfinished '69 Camaro down and park it with the other cars.:D For now, I'm figuring close to 50 people. About two weeks away, I'll get one more final head count. As far as bringing stuff, I'll have a couple big chest's with drinks, but if anyone has something special, so be it and bring it. Foods covered. I may ask, if anyone wanted to slip a buck or two into a jar, I'll have out, that'll help too, but no pressure. I've wanted this for awhile,and I'll cover whatever. Also, don't want to get too carried :beer: away, we are all driving some nice iron and don't need Johnny Law (no, not johnny rotten;) )around.

[71nova]

hey brian, me and emily for sure want to cruise down to dales. im driving my 71 nova and emilys driving her 63. o and dale im giving you a call tomorrow bout those inner fenders that got a little too carried away:rolleyes:

Chad

[blown67]

Chad,
When the date gets closer, we will get together and set it up.
Take Care,
Brian

['69Novajoe]

Maybe Christian, NovaJoe and Cage can get the O.C. guys together and we can all meet up off the 57 and 60, then roll in at the same time? Just a thought......
That sounds good to me! I'm open to any and all suggestions about when and where. Just keep in mind the 53.5 mph speed limit!!:cool: :cool:
Joe

[66 WICKED WGN]

Hey guys, I just realized that September 2nd is Labor Day weekend!! I will be at the river. Let me know if the weekend changes for any reason!!
Christian

[Novaholic]

Are the non-finished or the may never be finished Novanuts invited???

[teddisnoke]

Christian, sorry about the date. I figured it is too sweltering to hit the river and too crowded. You are hardcore. Finished or not, if it can drive it can arrive. Hope that answers. Dale

[NIGHTSHADE]

Let me know if the weekend changes for any reason!!
Christian

Yeah me too!!!!! Like to Sept 22nd!! hint hint nudge nudge;)

[Cage]

Hey guys, I just realized that September 2nd is Labor Day weekend!!

Holy cow! The Great Labor Day Cruise!

[teddisnoke]

You have both Sunday and Monday, right? I'm planning on Sunday.

[1qwikss]

that Sunday still works good for me:)

[NOGO]

You have both Sunday and Monday, right? I'm planning on Sunday.

Sunday is the 3rd. You said earlier it was on the 2nd. So what is it???:eek: :confused: :D

[the FLYER]

it's gonna be the second third ;)


heheheh not ta be confused with the first or third third :rolleyes:

[teddisnoke]

It still is on the 2nd. What I was meaning was that the Great Labor Day Cruise still had sunday and monday to attend. ;)

[NOGO]

It still is on the 2nd. What I was meaning was that the Great Labor Day Cruise still had sunday and monday to attend. ;)

AHHHH...Where is the cruise at?

[teddisnoke]

Costa Mesa, fairgrounds (?)

[NOGO]

Ok- that OC Fairgrounds (no punt intended). I remember last year I went there and its like a car show where you can drive around to show off your car. Maybe Ill head out there with ya!

[AP66]

Hey guys, I just got back into town after a month in Africa. I'm in for sure on the 2nd, it gives me a good goal to shoot for to have my car driveable by then.

[Deuceisloose]

Hmmm, San Dimas to Glendora, that should only be three gallons!

I should be able to attend provided I get to the calendar before my wife does! I would love the opportunity to meet everyone if I haven't met you before. And of course would be more than happy to bring anything.

Jeff

[blown67]

C'mon Jeff, I used 8 gallons coming from Torrance to Pomona. But I guess they were freeway miles.......... :) I think I actually get 10 on the freeway, IF I can keep my foot out of it......... :rolleyes:

[teddisnoke]

Mike and I are working on some "commemorative" T-shirts. There won't be anything with the site logo, but rather a "appropriate" feel. They will be low buck so we can all afford them ($7-8) .Question is: Everyone wear large or like a slightly looser extra large??? I'm hoping these will be a shirt to be spotted in at the drags or cruises or when they finally wear out, to be turned into the ultimate way to pay homage to an old t-shirt----- a wax rag!!!:D So, I guess my question is::: A head count and size so as not to get too carried away when we order??? Thanks, Dale

[blown67]

Dale,
Cool idea! A large and extra large for me please.
Thanks,
Brian

[the FLYER]

i'd go for an XXL... and i'm unable ta make it you could still count on me for a donation to the cause... that OK ???

[NOGO]

Large for me!

[mike b]

NASCAR is in town that weekend too. I am going to talk to the wife and see if we can't make it. Is this a family show? Kids OK?

[NovaFan63]

I can't make it that weekend but would love a shirt. I will contribute $$$. Let me know Dale.

Thanks
David

[Rookie]

Good news, I can prolly make it. With Car.:D

[teddisnoke]

I just sent Johnny a photo of my "mock-up" for the back to see if he may post it. Lemme know if you guys like it???

[teddisnoke]

Family show. At the house. Kid friendly.

[the FLYER]

gimme a minute Dale and i'll post it up for ya ;)

[the FLYER]

here ya go, i think it cool... my artistic opinion ??? give the Taco a couple slicks and have it doin' a BURN OUT !!! ;)

http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y258/64Flyer/DSC01665.jpg

[NovaFan63]

Dale, the taco needs to look mean. He looks a little too happy. :D

[the FLYER]

i LIKE happy lil tacos :rolleyes: :D :D


not "HE" though ;)

[blown67]

I will wear mine proudly.

[Rookie]

I will wear mine proudly.

Ditto......

[teddisnoke]

I know- it's kinda jokey-dorky, but thats what makes it kinda cool. I remember I had an old t-shirt :Sigma-Nu Superbash '79. Had a cartoon toga clad guy who looked like Little Ceaser downing a big beer. I coulda sold alot of those shirts if I had them. I figure each year (hopefully there will be more) the theme will change, but the logo will be roughly the same. Maybe next year a fat pig stuck on a rotisserie for a Southern Style BBQ. Who knows, at least it's a start. Dale;)

[1qwikss]

i wear a x-large with pride:)

[Deuceisloose]

Two (2) XL's please. Leaves me room to grow! Jeff

[kracon]

I was once in Wheels Unlimited. Do I get a brownie button? :p

[undercvrSS]

Dale, count me in for a large and an XL for the old man. I can't wait.

[Rookie]

Oh yeah, XL please!!!
Thanks
Chris

[AP66]

I'll take an XXL.
And I just started my car up for the first time tonight, so it looks like I'll be driving to the slo-cal bbq!

[Raidah]

L and XL. I should be there.

[teddisnoke]

Cool- it gets bigger and bigger. Next year we'll rent out the Rose Bowl.;) Actually this is how alot of the big events that we see now got started. The great labor day cruise got its humble beginnings with the Orange County Cruise Night Association (anyone remember getting together back with these guys at Pizza joints located in Super Market parking lots?)

[CraigT]

XL for me Dale.......even if I don't make it, I'll contribute to the cause!!

Craig

[teddisnoke]

Mike and I are heading over today for the shirts. I just got back from a local 50's style eatery, Legends, located on Route 66 about four miles or so from the house and asked about having them set aside twenty or thirty spaces in the back row for us to drive to later on for floats, sundaes, etc... They have a nice outdoor gathering area in front of the place so we can keep an eye out. Manager inked us on their calender (which was suprisingly full of similar car stuff) so that can happen after eight o'clock or so. One thing- does anyone have a rusty fender, old bumper, or some reasonably small piece of a Nova that can be used for this get-together? Since this is the first ever, I'm trying to make a "guest book" of sorts, using a piece of an old Nova.:D Now- I need to make a shirt count. Gotta check with these old posts. Dale;)

[NEVER FINISHED64]

Now- I need to make a shirt count. Gotta check with these old posts. Dale
:eek:

I'M sleepen at the lights again - not to unusual for me.

I need an XL how much and when do you need the money?

Let me know if you need me to bring over some tables, chairs, ezy-up or what ever the day before.

[NovaFan63]

A member here, Tony T has this posting in the free section and he is in Ca.

63-65 hood& door

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I have a good hood off a 63 & drivers door it has some bondo in it but useable just pick them up.

Tony

[NOGO]

Hey Dale- if its not too late can ya get me a XXL as well?

[NovaFan63]

Dale- One thing- does anyone have a rusty fender, old bumper, or some reasonably small piece of a Nova that can be used for this get-together?

I just realized I have a pass. side fender that would work, I can drop it off at your house Dale. Count me in for a Large and XL shirt.

[teddisnoke]

Cool on the fender Dave, thanks! Mike and I just got back from the silk screener, he's going to tweak it slightly, but its all a go. Please, if any of you want a shirt and have not RSVP'd on the thread, throw it up there. The count I'm giving him is the count off of here. He's cool enough to not pin us with a minimum as he know's this a homegrown type of thing. Shirts should be no more than about $8.00 each. He said XXL's are a little higher. I'm excited .:D

[Cage]

Put me down for 1 large.

Mark~looking forward to the taco cruise

[teddisnoke]

Yea- I know, nothin new to report but I did get this thread back onto the front page,right? Keep that date open.

[Raidah]

Yea- I know, nothin new to report but I did get this thread back onto the front page,right? Keep that date open.

cool, can't wait..................kids ok to go?

[Wolf Rulez]

So can i take my magazine and get an Autograph??just kidding, first time here but always reading........
one XL for me.....thank's
German:

[teddisnoke]

The art work has changed on the t-shirts. Lets just say it's more "Rat Finkish" instead of "smiley faceish". Oughtta turn out real cool. I'm paying for 50 people for food @ seven tacos apiece.Wife says I should have chips and salsa and I'm going to try and get NOGO to make a donation of a big bowl of his killer guacamole (?) i talked with the taco guys yesterday to confirm. I'll have a couple ice chest's, but if you have something "special" you might want to bring a few of your own to drink. Most of us will be driving, so I don't think people are going to get too carried away with a kegger (except maybe NOGO).While it's not an open party, its more of an invite only for all of us guys from here on the site, but your children can come as its all about us as a group. My kids are here as well as a few others who are bringing theirs. I venture to say it'll be a nice afternoon/evening of gathering together to finally get a chance for alot of us to meet one another and to share in our affliction for our money pits! :D Dale

[NOGO]

1 Keg and a BIG bowl of guac coming right up!!!

[kracon]

:confused: T-Shirt? BBQ?

/slap Kracon :rolleyes:

[NOGO]

Ok everyone, here is the new design for the BBQ T-shirts care of Dale:

http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a248/NOGO12s/DSC01754.jpg

I think its pretty friggin sweet!!! Cheers!:beer:

[NovaFan63]

I like it! :D :D :D :D

['69Novajoe]

I'm sleeping at the wheel too Dale. If it's not too late, I'll take two large shirts. I think I dropped the ball on having some DVD's made up too. I have been wanting to transfer some old 8mm movies to DVD for some time now. Well I finally brought them in a couple days ago. The guy said it might take 2 1/2 weeks which would put it right at "the big night". Don't think it's gonna happen though. The subject matter is drag racing at Lions, back in the day!! I've got pictures of my old '63 Impala, a gasser meet with S-W-C, Big John and others, and of course, the Nova. Keep your fingers crossed!! :o

[teddisnoke]

Joe- that would be WAY COOL to set up our little DVD TV out on the picnic table with those home movies! Hope it works out.

[teddisnoke]

Anyone feel like twisting through all these BBQ threads and seeing what the count is on all the shirts? I have tried a couple of times, but I'm coming up with wrong numbers and sore eyes?:awkward: I'll order a few extras just in case, but I want to make sure I've got all here covered. Thanks, Dale

[kracon]

What is the time slot for this BBQ deal?

I have a feeling its on the week end that I work in SAn Diego.

[DrDenny's 69 Rat]

I'll be good for 2 XL shirts...Thats quantity 2. I'm fat but not that fat(XXL):eek: :D . Trying to get the wife and kids to go. :beat: But it's looking good. When do you need the $$$???

[the FLYER]

Dale, i'm gonna do my best ta be there... i still wanna XXL shirt. i'll send ya the cashola whenever ya want... call me on the land line if ya like...

[teddisnoke]

Foods about seven dollars a head. T-shirts are going to run about the same. I'm going to pay up front for it all, and hope honesty will prevail at the BBQ by putting some type of collection jar out for people to donate to. That's about the best I can hope for. I don't think our group is of the mooching type.If there is any left over ,I'll write a check to Steve's Nova Site as a donation from the "South Western Forum Members". I'm going to make a somewhat final count tomorrow night from this thread for the t-shirts as they will be making them soon. Dale;)

[the FLYER]

Dale, i sent ya a PM... hook me up with info OK. i'd like ta get ya my donation towards the get-together prior to it's date. i don't think ya should be out-of-pocket if ya don't have to ;)


i'd like ta contribute now ;)

[1qwikss]

so far everything sounds real good.
if you'd like anything($) before hand it'd be no problem there.
cool thought of the donation of extra going to steve's i
do think we have a bunch of good guys here to where there
won't be a problem with you being stiffed.:)

[Jrocket]

Put me down for 2 Lg shirts please.

[Raidah]

dang i have to work !!!

['69Novajoe]

I can't believe it's this coming weekend!! Is anyone up for a caravan from "the south"?? I would like to leave early, probably 2:30-3:00. It's that rear gear thing again, plus I would like to park somewhere close to Dale's house if possible!! I would be heading up the 5 to the 55 to the 91 to pick up a friend in Placentia. We would then continue up the 57 to the 210. Come to think of it, maybe I should leave four hours early!! :rolleyes:

If you guys do caravan it would be cool if someone videotaped it.

[bowtie0069]

Dammit!
2 of the cars that were going to attend have cancelled at the last minute.
Steve's altered wheelbase car is still without it's front axle(it's on the AWB Fairmont!) and Pete's got a birthday party for his 2 daughters to attend.

I think you're overreacting here. I don't see this as a problem. Just have them leave the keys on the floormat and we'll just carpool back and forth and bring the cars to Dale's. I just want to see the cars, fogettabout meeting the owners! ;)

[Deuceisloose]

Is Steve going to be there?

[the FLYER]

Is Steve going to be there?

no, for one he lives in Canada and two, right now he's in Afganistan...





hehehhehehe what a knucklehead answer :rolleyes:

[bowtie0069]

Is Steve going to be there?

I assume you were talking about Magnante; if so, I believe he'll come by for awhile minus the car.

[Deuceisloose]

I assume you were talking about Magnante; if so, I believe he'll come by for awhile minus the car.

Yes, Magnante. Thanks!

[NEVER FINISHED64]

I would like to park somewhere close to Dale's house if possible!! :rolleyes:
Joe
Is this going to be like Pomona where you have to go the night before to get a spot??????:eek:
This Taco Run is already getting a reputation - I just mentioned Steve's Nova Site to a Nova guy (thats not a member here, but is known) and he starts telling me all about the Taco cruise.

[bowtie0069]

Double Dammit!! I just got off the phone with Augie; he's gonna be at O.C. all weekend so he won't make it Saturday either!
http://images16.fotki.com/v3/photos/4/42437/3376330/augie-vi.jpg

[teddisnoke]

There still will be enough bitchin Nova's there to satisfy even the most hungry of Nova fans.:D

['69Novajoe]

The response for a caravan has been "underwhelming" to say the least.:rolleyes: So here's my "plan". I will be leaving my house in south Orange County at 2:30. Like I posted before, I will be traveling up the 5 Freeway to the north 55 Freeway to the west 91 Freeway. I will be picking up a friend in Placentia. I was thinking about a good spot for others to hook up with us and came up with the Target store parking lot at the Yorba Linda Blvd. off ramp on the 57 Freeway. It's on the east side of the freeway and I should be there by 3:30.
I'll be taking off by 3:31, hopefully to get to Dale's house to get the proverbial "good parking spot".;) If I don't make it in time for that, I might have to take advantage of the valet parking Dale has graciously offered for late arrivals.:p On second thought, I'll be the valet parker for anyone that needs that service.:D
So what do you think guys? Do we have enough for a "convoy"??!!

[kracon]

Ok I just found out that now I'm NOT working this Saturday after all. :D

But my car is still on jack stands and I never got new tires for the back :o

So If there is a chance of getting so new tread on the wheels tonight after work I'll get it done.:)

[Raidah]

cool not working either !! back on but without the Nova

[66 WICKED WGN]

Joe,
I live off of the 5 and Alicia parkway. I would like to join if I could, just let me know approximate time and how many cars to look for as I will have to wait on the side of the freeway. Maybe the 5 / 405 junction....
Christian


The response for a caravan has been "underwhelming" to say the least.:rolleyes: So here's my "plan". I will be leaving my house in south Orange County at 2:30. Like I posted before, I will be traveling up the 5 Freeway to the north 55 Freeway to the west 91 Freeway. I will be picking up a friend in Placentia. I was thinking about a good spot for others to hook up with us and came up with the Target store parking lot at the Yorba Linda Blvd. off ramp on the 57 Freeway. It's on the east side of the freeway and I should be there by 3:30.

Got the t-shirts, they are terrific and of high quality- Beefy T's. All that pre-ordered, I should have covered, and I did buy a few extra of each size. Food- the guys called this morning, and I held them to my original count of about 50 people. Now- its just up to you guys to come and hang out. Be sure you're cars are clean (Mike!) you never know who might be here snapping pictures.:D Remember, drive safe and get here in one piece! See ya! Dale

Christian Alright Christian, I thought you were going to the river!! How's about we meet in the Mervyns parking lot just before you get on the freeway at Alicia, say at 2:30-2:35. I'm located between Alicia and La Paz off Moulton. I'll have my cell with me - (949) 370-9006, so we can all stay in contact if anything comes up. Looks like it's just you and me so far.

[Cage]

Novajoe,

You will cruising right by house, I think I can join you. I am still trying to get my cousin to drive up my other Nova. I'll contact you as soon as get more concrete plans. I've got lots to do to prepare my cars for the taco cruise.

Mark

[kracon]

Im home and on the phone trying to find a place thats still open and has the tires I need.


---------------Grrrrrrrrrr All the tire shops close at 5 or 6 pm. I was left with Walmart and they dont carrying anything in a 235/60/15

Sears even says they need to order them. Where is the days from the 80's where you could call up Super SHops and get them n/p ;(


My next option is to try and call first thing at 8am and get them before work.- risky but I may try it...... I'f I can pull this off I'll meet up with Joe some where off the 57.

Last option is to put the wheels back on and just go for it.

plans changed for the holiday weekend. That sounds great! I will be in the parking lot. cell 949 933-4089

Ive got a set of 235's mounted on Weld wheels,I'll sell you the tires for cheap or the complete set of Welds? Draglites that are fairly new.Unless you were looking for a specific brand of tire?

The tires are 12 years old so while the wheels were off I wanted to get a set of BFG's put on them. The M/T tires are no where but mail order.

Looks like you really know how to put on an event. How many Nova's (and there owners) showed up? My hats off to you and your wife for pulling this together. Is Johnny serious about another one next year? If so, I'm there.

Hey Mike,
Great photos! Lots off of great shots, angles. I really liked the carivan shots too.

[63nova2]

Dale,

Thanks for putting on such a good event and most importantly for your hospitality. It was a pleasure meeting you and the rest of the Nova folks. I have some more pictures that I'll send to your private email within a few hours.

I see a car club forming in the future ("So Cal Novas")?

I'll put in the first vote for you for President.....

In my quest to drain all the beer from the cooler and deposit it into my personal beer recycling center, I neglected to make a deposit at the donation can. If anyone else had a similar memory lapse, I guess we should send Dale and Rosemarie a little something to defray the cost of yesterday's affair--It seems a lot more shirts were handed out, compared to money that was handed in.
Again, a big THANKS is in order to the Snoke family for having us!

And thanks to those who commented on my photos; you'll have to excuse some of them--I had to hold a beer in one hand most of the time, which made it difficult to keep my camera in the proper direction!

hopefully i didn't mess up...i combined my food and shirt $ into the same fuel can? i was hoping to err on the plus side for the can.

i agree, plus a gentle reminder... if yer shirt(s) was/were paid in advance... as Mike said.... i could imagine it cost a bit ta throw the shin-dig ;) it'd be a thoughtfull thing ta do, ta remember Dale/Rosemarie in return by feeding the kitty a little. :D :D :D

Nova People Helping Nova People Have A Great Time.

['69Novajoe]

Well, I just got home 5 minutes ago. Decided to take surface streets!! That's a lie, but I did take surface streets from Placentia, after dropping off my friend Tom. My car was not built for NASCAR and I couldn't bear to hear the revs on the freeway anymore.
Anyway, what more can I say that hasn't already been said? I think you deserve a huge pat on the back for just pulling this off Dale. I know it was a lot of work and I don't think you realize how much it means to a lot of us to be a part of this "family". A big thank you to Rosemarie and kids for opening up your house to a bunch of Nova nuts. It was just a perfect afternoon and the evening cruise was a blast. Bench racing is fun but actually driving the cars is priceless!!
The pictures are awesome Mike. And I'm not just saying that because my car is in some of them!! You might think about doing that for a living.;)
It was a surprise seeing Nick too. What a small world.
Now for a little fun story about the ride home. Didn't have any problems but I'm always up for a little impromptu street race now and then. As I said, my son Jeff and I took surface streets home from Placentia. Everything was pretty deserted at that time of night. We ended up on Irvine Center Drive and pulled up next to an Infiniti G35 Coupe. Now I've said it before, and I'll say it again, I don't see the reason for racing foreign stuff, but then again, what the hay!! And when my son said something like, "you can take him Dad", well, watch out!! So the light turned green and we both kinda eased into it and then, wham, the "race" was on. I was like a man possessed. I heard some good second gear rubber and saw the Infiniti fading fast in the rear view mirror. When we pulled up to the next light my son made a comment to me about this being a mid-life crisis car for this guy. He was kinda old like me and didn't look right in that car. We both had a good laugh about it. This guy kept flooring it at a couple more lights down the road but he didn't get to waste anymore of my gas. A fitting ending to a great evening.
Thanks again to everyone involved.:D :D
Joe

[blown67]

Thanks Chuck and everyone else who inquired about my aborted trip to the "cruise". Sorry I missed you all. Car has never gotten hot before, even at the Route 66 Rendezvous. I was at the 91 and Magnolia and it was almost up to 220. Got off the freeway, let it cool down and it did the "hot no start" thing. Talked to Joe and knew I wasn't going to get to Yorba Linda Blvd. and the 57 in time. I think the 100 degree weather and heading East, the electric fan just wasn't pulling in enough air. When I got it started and headed back West, with just alittle headwind, it ran about 190 all the way home. I am going to change the starter this week and hope to see you all at either Irwindale (red car) on the 14th or the donut shop on the 23rd.
Brian

[bowtie0069]

almost up to 220

My car got up to 180 Saturday which is unusual for me, it'll usually stay about 150 just puttering around--it was HOT out there.

['69Novajoe]

Thanks to Joe for setting up the cruise to Dale's house.. I think we had 6 Nova's.
Christian BTW, thanks Christian for covering me from the back all the way. And for Fred on some of the way back to Placentia. It's always nice running in a pack to run "interference" for each other.

Also glad to hear about you getting home safely Brian. It's no fun watching the temp go up on a hot day. Or worse yet, watching it go up on a cool day!! I was running about 185 on the freeway and 180 on the street. Didn't "puke" though. :p

111 octane available at DeWitt Fuel in Chino. And a darn shame it is right around the corner from my office. The fuel is made by F&L fuel in Long Beach, CA so it doesn't have to go too far. I tuned my car for that stuff and now I swear by it. It isn't C16, but then again I don't need that much. 111 and 10-11 lbs. of boost keeps the "knock doctor" away.

The date will be Sept. 2nd, late afternoon.I just got off the phone with "The Original Mobile Taco Grill". They stay for about three hours, that ought to give us enough time to eat, then go cruise if we want. They have a minimum of fifty people, so I guess if less show, more food for us. We are inked in.;)
Well forget the flyer I guess I missed it, that will teach me not to read the whole thread next time!!

This pic is awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! man i wish i could of gone! when are u guys going to throw another one and where was it located???

[NIGHTSHADE]

Just put that pic on my jump drive and will print it out tomorrow at work. Wrong aspect for 12x18 but a 10x11 sounds more like it.

Gotta love working with Color Copiers.

[teddisnoke]

So funny. I just figured out what "back to the top" meant. Somebody smack me!!!

['69Novajoe]

Well, since it's "back on top" again, what might be in the works for the next big thing? I'm up for cruisin' the "surface streets", or maybe a short blast on the freeway. The old Nova is still panting from that trip to Glendora! :beat:

[xc4rx]

where did this event take place at?

[the FLYER]

at Dale's house fer the most part... then we all gathered together for the cruise/photo shoot (couple burn outs too, but small ones) :D

B U M P. :d

[Rookie]

Why are we bumping this? I thought this thread was buried. Are, we supposed to show up to Dale's for a BBQ he does not know about? :confused:

No, its just so damn cool. I thought it was bump worthy. :D

[teddisnoke]

You guys quack me up! And it gives me good reason to announce the next gathering anyways. I've sent the deposit in for the second Sat in Jan- 13th. Mark the calenders. We'll have a Johnny boy flyer again, so it'll be the same as last time. Send me an e-mail, and I'll send you back the flyer, or something like that. I have not set up any cruises or anything like that, its just a dorky kinda shop open house or just an excuse to eat a couple of tacos and drive a car that sits under the cover in your garage.:rolleyes:

Dale

[Deuceisloose]

OK, I've marked the calendar, but no car though. Down for the off season...new exhaust and new interior. I have to re-weld some of the cage to get it certified so since I have to take the interior out why not re-do it all. I told my wife "at least it will be cheaper than the engine!" :) :) :)

[teddisnoke]

Jeff- Can I have your "scrap" leather and tweed?:D

[1qwikss]

Dale, how about this old tunnel ram set-up?:) i recognize the guy standing behind it too.

[Deuceisloose]

Yes Car Craft June 06 so was wicked 66 and Wagonman Thanks

[teddisnoke]

This thread was from last seasons BBQ. Next one will be around August/Sept. But we'll announce with plenty of time.

[bowtie0069]

...."I'll supply the Beer"

I like your way of thinking!

[1965chevyII]

Hey, Have you guys picked a location for the BBQ yet? If not you might think about Doheny State Beach park. At the rear of the park their are tons of parking spaces right next to the sand with tables etc. If your interested and their are enough vehicles I am sure they would block off a section of the parking. I just attended a Woody meet there in April and they blocked off a section for them.I am still on foot so I would only be their to drool.:)
