How long is the meet going to be that day?
I work every Saturday but if it goes long enough maybe I'd go. Who knows.

Elky meets have longevity, IIRC...

correct, like Elky said, these meets usually carry over into Sunday, right up until bedtime sometimes.
Elkster, you planning on buying a bunch of meat again this year and put out the donations box?

D-OH!!!  Guess I'll have to catch y'all at another gathering.
well...these spring meets usually carry over to sunday too.
so if you will be around sunday(i forget why you said you couldnt make it) come on by.
as for bringing stuff...bring what you like.
i think i will start another thread next week so people can list stuff they are bringing and to find out who is coming.
goonz...we will probably be staying away from the brewery.
besides...theres a lickher store at the end of my street
If I bring supplies and tools, would people mind showing a newbie to Auto repair/maintenance how to change oil, coolant, transaxle fluids? I also need a wheel bearing replaced, how hard is that? Front end alignment? (I've had one bearing replaced before- my car has made a loud sound when turning left for a while now).
I am coaching my son's soccer team, so I couldn't be there until around 11:30-noon.
Let me know if that might be a possibility and what to bring. If not, it's not a problem. I thought it might be a good opportunity to meet some people and learn some stuff.
...the bearing might be a little to labor intensive for this type of meet..but who knows..if you've been driving on it for awhile you might want to check out that the hub/spindle isnt/hasnt been "bored"out..even just the slightest could cost you a new bearing,quickly..i found out the hard way just last month

fluid changes are easy you'd need to bring all the proper replacement fluids & filter, as well as the containers to both catch the old fluid and contain them for transporting to the proper disposal facilities. here's the how to for changing the tranny fluid: link and the coolant change how to: link

goonz, the serp belt is pretty easy, just make sure you bring the breaker tool, or maybe elky has one,if not you can rent one at autozone.

fun fun fun!!!
as kim said you can do flid changes here as long as you take your old fluids with you and if you have a drain bucket or something to catch it in bring that too.
and please, no messes in teh garage...the hearse already made a big one.
the bearing might be a little difficult to do at the meet, maybe it could be attempted on sunday.
as for food, i found another place to get steak tips, these ones melt in your mouth.
like i said before i will be starting another thread soon for people to list who is coming and whether or not they are bring ing anything.
