Well, it was bad enough that the SVTOA has an on-track event at Autobahn Country Club by Joliet the same weekend as SZ, but now World Ford Challenge 9 at Gateway International Raceway in Madison, IL. (by St. Louis) has moved back a week (compared to last year) and will be the same weekend as well.

Why does everyone want to schedule events all on that same weekend?
Posted By: Y2KSVT Re: Yet another Ford conflict for SZ... - 01/30/06 06:49 PM
Well I doubt either of those events have a clue that a Contour event is going on in Fort Wayne, IN. Also, we aren't really taking into consideration, every Ford event that is going on around the nation. The fact remains the same, that we can't please everyone. We made changes to the schedule to avoid conflict with Carlisle, as it was the only event that would keep 10+ CEG'ers from attending SZ06. No matter what weekend we have it, there will be a handful of people that can't make it for X-reason. Sorry, but it's a once a year event that pertains to your the Contour specifically. I don't know how many SVTOA meetings there are, and how well you know the people that attend, but I know I'd rather be somewhere that's all about the car I drive, and be surrounded by people that I know, and haven't seen in a while. Choice is yours.

That was my point, though I tried being a little more tactful.

Actually, there were at least 4 CEG'ers at the Autobahn event last year even with SZ going on.

WorldTour
Hdbngr8
SVTFern (the wonderful instructor)
and me, SoundQ SVT

There was also another instructor there with a t-red CSVT whose name I wasn't able to catch but I don't think he was on CEG either.

Hey, I still use it.....so...shut up.



Yeah, I'll be trying to attend SZ this year. Hope to see you all there.

Trying? Come on, you're in Ohio for crying out loud! You'll kick yourself in the butt next year if it's not located in the midwest, and you REALLY have an excuse not to go. Worst case scenerio, you have to take a day off of work/school to make it. Hotel split 4 ways = cheap, and registration is even cheaper. Everything else is optional.

I'm just waiting to see if anything else will conflict with it, so far so good though.
Plus, I don't want to take to many days off work, I got a couple days to take off in June for a NASCAR race me and my dad and uncle from Toledo go to every year up in Michigan. Can't miss that.

or even worse, if there isnt a SZ next year. Some people have yet to make it to a SZ and say, "Well ill make it next year." After SZ 04, there was talk that there may not be another one after the low turnout compared to 02. Hopefully this isnt the last of the SZ's, but you never know. Seeing as how the contour has been out of production for 6 years, I would treat every SZ as if it was the last one.

yeah i had a good time,met a bunch of cegers..saw a badass transam racer mustang....well i'm not sure how my current job will like my plans of taking a vacation before i worked a full year..so if they dont like it...i'll be attending both
Posted By: Pre98 Re: Yet another Ford conflict for SZ... - 02/01/06 04:06 AM
Actually, I treat every event locally and abroad as my last attendance with my car.

You never know when something will go that is expensive, or worse, you wreck. Just gotta look at everything in perspective.

Nothing will top my first SZ ('o5) though. Too much fun washing cars, driving with fellow members, driving others' cars, making makeshift autocross courses in mall parking lots at midnight Umm yeah shet like that.

Well in response to that, I hope to see the event turn from a contour oriented meet, into a gathering of friends.

There was a message board for a game i used to frequent. When that game lost popularity, and people went their seperate ways most people remained on that board. That board turned into a multi-game gathering of aquaintances

SZ 05 was my first one and it seemed ok, how many others were at 02-04?

Carlisle is cool to do every once in a while for those that live a ways away. It's basically the same cars every year though. You sit in a field for a couple days and that's it. SZ has autox, banquet, drag strip, dyno etc. Just a lot more involved.
I was at 02 - it kicked so much ass.
I couldn't make it to 04 - My mom almost killed me when she heard I was planning on it because it was like a week before my wedding.

Been to everyone. Was on my way to '99 when I blew a plug out. Threw in the towel on that one after getting it fixed in Ottawa, IL. Might have been one in 98 too. Was B4 I bought my car. Helps to organize them too. Kind of mandatory. Springfield, IL was the furthest driven for 00'. We took the reigns in '01 to '03. 04 was a bust. '05 was back as great as ever. Here's to '06!
