Contour Enthusiasts Group Archives Forums Branches Southwest COLORADO CANYON RUN #3 APRIL 17th 2004 ! ! !

hey what time do you think we will be back in pueblo? i need to be back in boulder by 5pm. im still going, but i may have to duck out of lunch early to get back ontime. i have no idea what kind of driving time i am looking at from pueblo to lunch. i figure if i leave pueblo by 3pm i should be fine. let me know. TIA

I've got basically the same question posted in Finally! if someone can help out with that, but with Littleton.

I have some bad news...




















No new y-pipe for me on Saturday. He doesn't have the parts I need/want to make a cutom y-pipe. I'm pretty bummed because I wanted more power for this canyon run. So it looks like I wont need to stay down near Pueblo Friday night. I'm just going to stay in Evergreen at my parents place and drive down Saturday morning; which means I'll meet up with whoever is meeting at Castle Rock Saturday morning.

The good news is that my dad wants to come now, so he'll be down there with us!

Sorry to hear about the Y-Pipe. You will still have fun, I am sure of that. As for the time, it matters how long of stops we make when we change highways, and how long we spend at Bishops Castle, because this thing is awesome !! If you have never been there . . . Some crazy guy started building this castle for the last 40 years, none stop, by hand, with no education, by himself, ZERO help ! Anyways, it is one of the coolest things you will see in Colorado.
I myself think we can easily get back to Pueblo by 3pm if we leave at 10am ! That's 5 hour's, and lunch should only be 1 hour. After lunch, a fast drive back down the canyon to Pueblo. Bring your camera's ! Less then 48 Hours ! -B.

Does anyone have a video camera ??? I have a guy coming that has an external video camera mount. You can mount it to the hood, or door, or trunk and shot video !!! It is his friend's mount, so he does not have a video camera. It works with all kinds of camera's. Somebody got to have one ! -B.

Allright guys, i do believe you can sign me and my girlfriend up on this shindig! I'll be meeting at castle rock in a black 98 SVT, mainly you will know it by its loud and (disturbingly) almost rice exhaust.... but its pretty deep so its not too bad. I'm gonna try and clean the IAC valve and perhaps paint some interior pieces tomorr... errr today seeing as how its 1:30 a.m. I'm thinkin metallic silver won't look to ricey, and with enough thin coats, it should stay on. - Chris

Nice I look forward to seeing that interior. As for me Ill be solo, Wife is busy, brother moved to Wisconsin.
Tait I know how you feel about not having parts ready. I purchased a Diablo Sport Chip for the ol Tour but will not get it until maybe Friday/Saturday next week. It is my hope that it will be a difference I can feel.

I'm going to change my oil before I head up there. My driving lights aren't aimed well but they'll do. I couldn't make the time to aim them this week.
Chip is in, and I think everything is ready to go.

Austin - you better be studying!

Ben - if you organize something with Blackwiddow, consider me there. I'd love to meet up with you again.

Everybody else - cross your "t"s and dot your "i"s. Check your fluid levels and fill your tires.

yeah i guess i will get my oil done today too. its a little early, cause no matter how many times i tell them, no one ever remembers that my speedo is in KM/H, so my stickers say 3,000 KM which is nothing. but it wouldnt hurt, especially with all of the driving im doing tomorrow.

well, i guess i will see you guys bright and early.

Glad to here that you are all ready to go. I Fried all my Battery cables. Car just made it to Pueblo and Died! I got it all fixed but it could have caught my car on fire. Thank God it didn't.
Anyways, I am in Pueblo waiting for you all tomorrow morning. Drive safe, and see you all soon. -B.
