I agree totally about that spot being about as good as it gets for a meet. Plenty of covered and uncovered room to do whatever. It was almost like a mini fairground. Wish I had that much garage space.

I am really extremely lucky that my lovely wife was on board with allowing me to buy this place. The first time we saw it and walked into that empty shop it felt like an endless cavern of possibility. Three months ago it was like you tried to cram an entire junkyard inside your livingroom. So full of crap that you couldn't move in it. The shop is both a blessing and a curse that way!
I'm just thrilled things worked out as well as they did. Again I have to thank all the locals for pitching in with their side dishes for lunch and all the incredible help and support they gave me in preparing for this. It looks like we had about 24-25 SQ cars in on Saturday, and I think we could have fit just about twice that number. That gives us some room to grow for next year!
Thanks again to everyone that made it out! Can't wait to do it again... maybe something as the season comes to a close and the weather cools off again? :D
I'd be game for a Fall meet. Long as it's cooled down again it should be great. With Summer meets it seems like systems start to sound questionable, tempers flare, and a lot of people get sick from dehydration. One time at a Summer meet I was downing a bottle of water every half hour and still got sick from the heat.
My trip home was adventurous to say the least. Thank goodness for AAA.

It looks like the alt may be toast. Thank you crappy battery terminals. The replacement alt (stock GTO alt is rated at 140 amps) is coming from OKC. Yes, I did lose the final settings, but I know how to get back there. I'd be game for a fall trip.

Wow, what an awesome time I had at Todd's. It was a great time, filled with great cars, and even greater people. I am happy that I was able to put so many faces to the screennames I have always spoken with.
Al, you are a class act. Great to finally meet you. For the time I was there (2.5hrs or so), I was able to get some really needed car audio medicine.
Great time, and an awesome host.
Those that didn't make it this year, come out when the weather gets cooler. It should be some more fun.

Wow...welcome aboard, Joe. :welcome:
So, I heard the demo room was off the hook! Feedback, fellas (and ladies). ;)
It was weird...I came in and sat down and was amazed at the sound. He had the two speakers and what looked like a giant pool noodle standing in the middle. I got up to see if the center channel was behind the noodle, and the center channel disappeared
