Believe me I would've come if I could. There were a lot of other factors that went into me not going. I wish I could go... I just cant. Next year, though.
I wouldn't say half of the active club, quite a few of us tho. So far we have: xjsman89 aura1 tpunk lanceslambos Randy T (and family I hope!)
Hopefully aurora9740 can make it since he's in the area, along with a few others. I'm still trying to convince Chris and Rob to come down. ;D

I get out of class at noon on Fridays, I could make it there by 5 easy. Tyler, you'll be passing right through Leawood/Overland Park (my hometown) on the way to Springfield. I could just leave Lawrence after I get out of class and wait for you back at home... Maybe we could meet up at my Mom's house around 1/1:30 and continue to Randy's from there? Works perfect for me. I'm hoping Saturday isn't a home game but I have no class at all on Friday in the fall.

Find your own way to Springfield. ;D Senior year, I'm taking more credits than ever to finish up and my schedule is by far the best I've ever had. Monday - Night class (Starts @ 6:30PM) Tuesday - Class from 2:30PM-4:20 (2 classes back to back) Weds - Night Class (6:30PM) Thursday - 2:30PM-4:20 Friday - FREE I don't have to wake up early at all! Except for that I'll be working in the AM on Mondays and Wednesdays I'm sure.

So are the dates good for everyone? Friday, Oct 2nd and Saturday, Oct 3rd?
Everyone is even welcome to stay until Sunday if you didn't feel like driving home Saturday night.
I left a message with the Aurora chamber of commerce so when they call me back I will have some more answers about the car show.

All cars are allowed! She sounded excited about having Auroras there. And she said if we all want to be together, to get there kind of early. It will cost us some money to enter. I think it will be a $12 entry fee. She is going to send me a pack of entry forms when they get them printed up. Early entries save $5. How exciting!

Those dates work for me. I'm not sure when I'll leave, it depends on what everyone else does. Staying til Sunday would be cool if you really wouldn't mind. What does everyone else think, do we have a date set?

all in. im the closest one to aurora and is still an hour west. i bet there will be a sign somewhere that says 2009 aurora classic car show ;D annual classic aurora car show, will want a pic of that. so we do the car show oct 2 and go to the track to run em next day before retiring to aurora heaven @ randy's right. want to make a nice quality short film of all the auroras with short interview of their owners. you know like tell us about the car and camera guy does walk around, zoom in and outs etc while owner follows behind talking about whatever he wants to say about the car. something good enough to represent the club and auroras everywhere for a long time. something worthy of praise and stir much interest on youtube. some racing clips included of course something well thought out. i can edit film. this oct meet is our best shot at this. just think, if we got jay leno interested enough to get an aurora, our car values would rocket overnight!

I'm in. I too would like to be registered for the show. I don't want to have to worry about owing money to a member so if it was possible randy could I get you too mail me that registration. I'll pay you for the stamps at the meet. I'll leave Friday and I hope to get some attention with our girls all shined up! Plus we all know who's auroras gone own the others...........MINE LOL first time at a track for me though.and I am interested in what sort of times I can lay down. I'd love to get under 7.5 and have actual documentation of such a thing. I would have to stay until sunday if that was alright. I'll Bring my own tent. But if you wake up and a green auroras missing......it was Collins. He finally got too jealous of my color and couldn't control himself!

This is great! aura1 being there and tpunk with his second gen. It is going to be a good time. I will contact Lion Vista(another local member) and see if he will be interested in coming this year. And we will be glad to have everyone for the whole weekend. And the racing will be at a quarter mile drag strip. Our times will be up in the 15-16 second range. More like 16 probable. I have never been there either, I think it will be a first for most of us. It also cost's to do this. I think it was around $15, but I will check to make sure. And that is for as many times as you want to go. I will get the rules posted here also. Lance, sounds good. That would make a nice video.

just thought of something, if in fact collins is NOT going to miss this meet, than it would possibly be an excellent opportunity for me to get some clear corners installed and swapped? no one better than the aurora guru's themselves to offer some assistance. that is if they are still available. I'm not sure I could get the old ones out and shipped to collins before this time next year if I tried it myself.

We would probably be rushed to make a set at the actual meet, but we could definitely get one installed. Wouldn't take more than an hour at the very most. If you wanted to do it then I could be sure that I had a set made and ready to install for you!

Well I don't know about Randy, but I'd sure be psyched if you could make it! If this coming meet is anything like the last one that we had in Springfield: We should have a LOT of classics there. Oh, and Tyler too, I guess. BTW I'll have to let you drive my classic, tpunk... that way you can see what a REAL car drives like. ;D The head count so far is impressive, let me sum up: Confirmed: Randy (8 classics) Collins (The best Classic) Lance (Roarah) Tyler (2G) Big Poppa (Classic) Zach (Classic) Jayson (Classic) Possibilities: Lion Vista (Classic) aurora9740 ? (Classic) however many weird people Randy and Lance can find around Springfield, hopefully without fake hood vents this time. So assuming everything goes according to plan, we could have as many as 15 CLASSICS at this meet along with Tyler's 2G? This has to be the biggest Aurora gathering in history not counting when they rolled off the assembly line. Sounds like we're giving those Illinoisans a run for their money!

Be glad to have ya! We will all be doing some driving together. We are driving to the dragstrip Friday night, then we will all be cruising to Aurora together for the car show. It will be a good time for some pics! Collins, yeah those guys were creepy. I was glad they had to leave early. It was like I was already handing them a card before I realized how they were. And then it was too late. And I am pretty sure Jayson will be there.

man this is great i think back to 06 when i was driving down the road. and i just so happen to glance over to the right and see the holy grail of cars lol. it was an classic at an mom pop dealer they are scarce. so i quickly turned around went over there checked her out. i had to bring her home. this is the stage where i was lost. as time went on i told my brother i wish there were other people out there that shared the passion for this car as i do. i was steady seeing chevy guys having there meet. so i said to my self let me get on the the computer and google it a bit. i hit the motherlode when i seen an link for acna. so i quickly joined and i new i would make a lot of new friends. i cant wait to meet everybody talk about our classics work on them a little. and just enjoy the time with the coolest car out there. u guys are like family now and you guys rock. ps i almost forgot the rora kicks a** also sorry for the guys that have to have the front license plate like in missouri it takes away your fine automobiles front end. lol i cant wait

We like to think of ourselves as a family... It's definitely the best Aurora forum out there without question and the overall atmosphere is a big factor in that. You'll find that once you go to Randy's place you won't want to leave, it killed me to have to leave from the last one so soon.
If you have work to be done then I will be glad to lend what insight I can. We (well, Randy and I haha) will be installing a set of clears for aura1 and I'm hoping to get a new mirror with a compass put in that I'd like Randy's help with. Heck we're going to be there from Friday to Sunday... what else will we do?

yes the atmosphere here is upwards of amazing. And thats what makes it feel like home to many of us. The good thing is that since our car was a limited production model we dont have THOUSANDS of members on here, such as mustang and camaro forums, but if we did this would probably be a different atmosphere due to all the arguments that we would be having. The only person I argue with would be collins and rob...well there is one more but he deleted his profile just treat us with respect and we will return the favor. And randy do tell about these uninvited guests that you invited to the last meet, I'm interested....
