Man I wish I could come.. would love to meet with the other sy owners and have someone go over my truck with me.. still having a few problems and trying to nail them down is tough by yourself.... It would take me four hours to get there... otherwise I would truck on down... If anyone wants to get together in the northern part of GA or western NC let me know.

I had a blast! Can't thank everyone enough for coming out, esp. those of you who drove great distances. Weather was great and the company was even better.

The official turnout was:

Gary
Doug
Greg
Eddie
Rob
Ian
Adam
Keith
Dariel
E-Rue
Jimmy
Joe
Jordan
Jeremy B
Jonathan
Joey
Jeremy W
Preston
Scott
and myself

I think this meet was a good motivator for more GAST meets and more Southeast meets. A good portion of us hope to make the FAST meet in the spring and to make joint meets between our groups a regularity in the future. I wish we could've gotten more/better track time and that we'd have had a chance to see more of Savannah.

Again, thanks guys for coming out. You all made this happen. More to come below......

- Joe/Jimmy have wet bridges.
- The Turgeons make me laugh.
- Stars & Stripes Forever playing @ 7am sucks.

- Jimmy's and Adam's trucks make lotsa turbo noise.
- Jimmy's EGTs are way too high.
- Cheese & Sprite don't mix.
- Fries and Tea don't mix.
- The Denny's waiter is far too lonely.
- The track announcer has a little bit of a southern accent.
- Doug's blinker won't go off by itself.
- Greg's truck hates an antifreeze bath.
- Laughter will keep Joe from eating.
- Eddie is the nicest guy in the world.

And this only scratches the surface. I wish I could've videotaped the entire weekend.

Looks like you had a great turnout. Maybe I can make it next time. Wait, I said that about the KC meet the past 2 times. LOL At least my TC is here now. Great pictures!

ah christ.. where to begin

lets see:


- $60 in gas to get to GA, only $40 to get back - HOOD'S CHIP TUNING RULES!

- E-Rue raped me. Once in a lifetime experience...I hope.

- I still dont understand the concept of a "wet bridge". WTF, you TN people are weird. Start learning how to build bridges OVER water, not UNDER.

- To much silicon is a bad thing.

- Everyone who swore it was the pulley....WRONG. Told you guys it was the waterpump. Dont ever touch my truck again, I cant trust you people. Is there any other SyTy Boards around here? :)

- I saw 1 of 3 existing 92 Syclones. I also now have an official part from it on my truck now. Thanks Scott for the trans pan, truck runs GREAT.

- Trans Update: Dunno what the hell, but when the fluid was changed, it shifted like a champ. Chalk one up for the never ending trans mysteries.

- Fake Cobra Rs. PFFFFTTT, Please. We dont F around in FL, I dont care it if was his "friends" or not, he got his ass handed to him on 19psi.

- Black Mustang 6 cylinders. Run up on my tailgate......please. After Hood and Scott turned off, I proceeded to find the black mustang sitting at a light. He got a thumbs down from me, I got flipped bird from him, along with a big FU right back. :tdown: :fist:

- 85,000 Cocks. Holy shit. That is probably the most cock I will ever see in my life...until of course I go back to Hoods. Did you know chickens are warm as hell? Like holding a hot potato.

- Dennys. 1:30am. Waiter - "So, what would you like to drink, or do you want to tell me to f ck off?"

- Some waiters do know what SyTys are, and know they have 4L60s. Amazing.

- Georgia. The people there are....interesting.

- Me holding on to anything I can find to keep my ass in the seat of Hood's Syclone down the track. Hood saying "Man, this thing aint pulling hard at all..."

- Me wondering why Greg fell so far behind down the truck at the turnoff. What the... wheres that smoke coming from, and why is Greg's truck wet?

- How many SyTy'ers does it take to diagnose a bad water pump, water pump pulley and trans? How many where wrong in the end?

- Fearing that leaving my truck at Scott's would result in the 92 Syclone having a sweet set of black Z06-R rims, Air 2 Air, and a set of Caltracs when I came back to work on it.

- Good thing Scott is a good carpenter and plumber. I gave his toilet a run for its money. Everything checks out and up to spec.

- Eddies trailer. My truck's savior. Ah hell...any trailer is my truck's savior.

- When your out in BFE like at Hoods house, I swear you can see aliens zooming across the sky. I have never in my life seen about 479467234678923467678936789234678934673467892346789346623478934689234678934678934627892346789234678923467893467892346789346278923467890 stars in my life, plus the milky way. That was some cool shit.... and I know Joe is thinking im some sort of freak now cause I went nuts over it.

- Jordan licked the cocks, I just held them. Lets get that straight. Im just glad E-Rue wasnt there....no stopping him. Also, I dont know how, but out of 85,000 cocks, I found the smallest one.

- Jimmy's truck makes for a good artboard slate.

- Jimmy's truck also has chicken poo in it now.

- Room 304, Holiday Inn. Uh.... make sure they washed the bathroom floor really good....there were some escaped floaters, heh.

- Never ask Gary if your truck is going to break. His uncanny ability to predict an event is dead accurate. Scary.

- Hey, lets go help Adam work on the truck. 10 minutes later, hey..where did everyone go that was helping me work on my truck?

- Olive Garden + Scott's Toilet = 3 brutal rounds. I kept on thinking about Room 304 and praying that I wouldnt see that event again.






I got more...... i'll get them up later

Well, I made it home in under 4 hours...300 miles non - stop... all OK... all the other FL guys had further to go... I hope all got home safely and without incident... Adam... did you get home OK... Keith, Greg, Ian, Rob and the Botto Bros???

Was great to see the GA, TN, NC and SC guys as well as the FL gang...

Went into the garage this AM to put out the trash... and that damned blinker was on again... must be gremlins...

We will work on it at the next FAST wrenching session... which won't be to far in then future gang... Dec will be here soon... need the purple wire changed and will need a new belt tensioner soon...

Thanks to Mike Hood for putting this meet together and to all that traveled many miles to make it there... we all will need to help our fellow SYTY owners get to our meets in the future...

A lot of guys didn't make it because their trucks were not running or they didn't trust them to make the trip... this is the reason that our local groups are so important... we all help each other in getting our trucks road worthy and ready to roll... thanks to Scott for his hospitality in having us to his house and using his garage to work on Adam's SY...

And to all that made the trip... we all made new friends... if any of you make it to East Central Florida... look me up... you are one and all welcome to crash at my place any day any time...

One last thing... Jordan... you need to visit your Grandma soon... and while your in the area... get my ZX7R Ninga running... otherwise Gary and his tire destroying friend, Glen will come and take it from me...

Great time... great people... a new place visited... and thanks to all that made the trip...

My truck runs like a raped ape now, with never ending thanks to Hood and his magic fingers.

Hood was able to get some chipping in before I had to haul ass back home. Cant believe what a difference 30 minutes will make, now to get the truck running longer than a full day to get a full tune in :)


To bad it didnt run like that all weekend, there would have much more displays of horsepower and stupid driving if that was the case.

I didn't get out much on Saturday.
Dawgs were playing and I missed the call for breakfast.
Still, ol' Gary was interesting and Dariel was a lush for the girls.
I thought Hood was going to be smaller, he's pretty big boy.

Did not want to see chickens again, raised them for 18 years.
I won't even eat them, now.
Had a ball. Will do it again...might have the GT ready next time.
Shoot Savannah ain't that far-but it is flat.

Yea georgian's are pretty strange...haha. Hood is a cock sorcerer. The 1/8th mile commentator killed me with his antics. We left around 5am sunday morning to get into town for Jeremy to look at and buy a viper. He ended up with a 99 viper blk w/silver stripes. This car is f*cking flawless. It was owned by some guy in Tampa who had an NSX, some old 60's looking jag, and an orginal AC Cobra, not a replica (big money). He also had about 10 old vintage motorcycles.

PS: Doug....I'll be in town for thanksgiving and i'll check out your bike and maybe take home the carbs with me and take them to class to clean them up.

next up, CHEBROLAY BIG BLOCK



Southern SyTy meets are nothing but a learning experience.

Some things I learned:


- to much silicon on gaskets causes blowouts
- It takes 6 weeks for chickens to grow up before being sent to chicken heaven and Zaxbys
- It takes 2 weeks after the 6 week period to clean up the chicken houses and refill with natural gas
- The price of chickens is based on the average of 10 weighed chickens. They are going for about 24 cents per chicken right now.
- the 92 syclone's parts fit on my 91 syclone quite nicely
- wetbridges. im still lost on that shit. how do you keep whatever is under the water from building up with algae and being slick?
- i can swap a water pump in 29 minutes or less, or its free.

Once again, I just wanna thank everyone for coming out. I had a blast and can't wait to come to the FAST meet in the spring. I think a lot of you realized what Adam and I were telling Eddie - the meets aren't about the trucks. And I'm glad to see the Southeast SyTyers growing together more and more. A lot of us can't make Nats every year, so events like this are important to ensure that we don't lose interest in the trucks and in each other.

Nuttin special.....If corrected for poor 60', Joey ran high 8's, Eddie ran mid/low 8's, and I ran mid/high 7's. Nothing earth-shattering.

I ran 2 busted water pump gaskets.

No one at the track hooked for the rest of the night either :woot:

Yeah.....too much silicone on the install resulted in catastrophe @ high rpm. We made the pass (I was riding shotgun, running DM), but it felt abnormally slow and weird (due to poorly shifting tranny and new erupted gaskets). Get back to the pits and see a cloud pour out from under the hood. I thought tranny (due to poor shifting during pass), but it was all coolant. Greg's pretty truck got an antifreeze bath.....that's what he gets for being slower than us :lol: (J/K Greg).

Spent a good portion of Saturday fixing the problems and some of Sunday doing a chip. All in all......WELL worthwhile for Adam, as we got the chip nailed down pretty well and he got an improved cooling system and better shifting "free" tranny.
