Title: 2018 First Annual Don Hulse Memorial Cruise
Post by: Fierofool on April 15, 2018, 05:49:45 pm
We discussed the Don Hulse Memorial Cruise after lunch when Dave arrived at Northlake Automotive.  The cruise is planned for Saturday, April 28. 

Starting place and time and details of the cruise to come shortly.

Not enough time for the aerodon car.

I invited Mike to ride with me.  If I can get my 86 heater core repaired in time, Dave can drive my 87 and Mike and I will go in the 86.  By virtue of the 86 handling so poorly on the curves, you know it's truly going to be a cruise.

Dave's Fiero isn't up to a cruise?  I just hoped that the aerodon Fiero could lead the cruise.  Maybe another year.

Dave's transmission went Kaflooie.  He picked up a replacement from f85gtron on Saturday.  Dave's working some extremely long hours.  I don't think there will be enough time for him to get it swapped out.  The Aerodonamic still has the broken exhaust stud and easy-out in the engine.

Ah, yes.  I remember Dave was picking up a transmission.

Is there any interest in this cruise? If so, it's next weekend. If not, we will have to pick another date.
The plan, if it happens, is to re-do the polar bear run route.

I should be able to make it.  It's supposed to be in sunny and in the low 70's.  I'll at least meet up with everyone and drive as far as I can.  Michael said he would ride along with me.  I offered Dave the 87 if my 86 is fixed.  Roger is coming by this week to swap out my heater core in the 86, so it should be good for me to drive. 

Again, with my pain and driving a poorly handling 86, It will definitely be a cruise for me. 

What's the meeting point and time?  Are there enough route sheets for everyone?  If not enough folks show, those of us that do can go to a Waffle House or IHOP for breakfast together.

I always wanted to sling some paint.  Here, I have to paint in straight lines, and be careful of the edges.  For some reason, whenever I mention slinging paint, people start making suggestions of drop cloths.  One small incident on the hardwood floors, and they never forget.

Depending upon how large the crowd is (or isn't) going to be, I'd be quite okay with rescheduling.
Tammy's got a class this weekend, anyway. And she said she would've liked to ride along.

Tuesday AM edit - With that said... if the decision is made to proceed, I'm planning on being there.

No word from Roger for a bit.  Maybe he'll pop up.
Title: Re: 2018 First Annual Don Hulse Memorial Cruise
Post by: Fierofool on April 25, 2018, 11:27:08 pm
Roger was here today and I had spoken with him earlier.  He will not be able to make it.  I was at Northlake Automotive this morning and Michael is planning to go to the big Summit Racing show at Atlanta Motor Speedway. 

Whatever happens, Tegan and I are going for a ride in the mountains.

So your '86 is drivable?

I'm wondering who has the route.
Title: Re: 2018 First Annual Don Hulse Memorial Cruise
Post by: TopNotch on April 26, 2018, 10:19:52 pm
I think Dave has the route, but I think he said he won't be able to go. I won't be able to go either, but I'll look for the route tomorrow, to see if I have it somewhere.

Are we down to Fierofool, Tegan, and Raydar?

Yes.  It had a leaking heater core.  I had two original Fiero heater cores repaired and that's what Roger was doing for me.  I asked Tegan which race car she wanted to go in and she said "The Yellow One". 

I thought Raydar said he wouldn't go unless there was a better showing.  He had something he could do with Tammy.

Here is what he posted, but this could be old info.

I'm glad your '86 has been repaired.

For my part, I'd rather it have more than 2 cars whenever it happens.  Two participating members isn't much of a memorial.  Tegan and I will just go it alone and enjoy the day together.

Have fun.

For next year, I propose setting a firm date at least 1 month in advance.

Post by: Fierofool on April 28, 2018, 10:49:03 am
Well, it's a total bust.  Tegan decided she didn't want to go.

I wondered what happened to your drive.

I think for the inaugural run, the Aerodonamic car should lead, which means that it needs to be running and driveable.  A firm commitment from at least 5 drivers.  Green Fiero hat optional.  The terminus could be a karaoke bar.

In college, there was a class I wanted to take, but not enough people signed up, so I strongly encouraged some loitering students to sign up.  Not sure of the results, I encouraged a bunch of them to sign up.  The mimimum was 13 students.  We had more than 30.  Only 1 dropped the class.  It was quite a semester.

Just that I had no problem with a postponement.

Tammy mentioned that she would have liked to have gone with us but couldn't, today, due to a class she had scheduled.
So maybe she'll get to go on the rescheduled run.
