[SILVER2000SVT]

I'm super paranoid about stuff breaking and usually carry a decent selection of tools, extra fluids, etc.

I don't see enough beer or distilled spirits on this list! You can either bring them or buy them when you get there, but you definitely need them! I would also add:

lots of $$
eats for the track if you want 'em (not sure if a grill is going this year)
minibike (seems to be a common pit item for screwing around)
folding chairs
long pants for racing, shorts for hanging out

Can't think of anything else that has not all ready been said

Tom , thanks, is there anything on the list that you really dont need, such as, jackstands?

You would only need jackstands for repairs - not for normal racing -

I bring my big floppy hat, Beer, Water, Cooler, Chair, camera, laptop, Phone Chargers for everything, 2 way radio, Cheerleader paint ( walmart ) for numbers on Window, scrap of carpet to work on when chaging tires... Etc etc

[StormShadow]

Make sure you bring enough beer. They only sell queer beer in Kansas which takes 3 times as much to get a buzz and makes you have to pee way too much.:beer:

Good POINT - Note to self - bring Tequila -

[SILVER2000SVT]

I do remember that the regular grocery store sold hard liquor up until pretty late in the evening. So that's a plus.:tu:

Last year on that Friday I was driving all over the place looking for a liquor store and finally gave and went to get the food for everybody for the next day and they had a full liquor selection there.

We are going to be in Missouri which is close to Kansas but one state away.:hammer:

Two things

Beer and Liquor is cheaper in Missouri (Less Tax)

They sell that stuff 24/7 at every gas station and grocery store no goofy dry county or town laws in effect

I did not see anybody mentioning to bring a grill. I will volenteer to bring my grill this year so we can cook out again. Pops said he would cook again this year. So if anybody wants to bring hot dogs,hamburgers,ect. then that will be great. If no one wants to grill out let me know and I will just leave the Grill at Home.

Bring the grill - Ill pony up funds for burgers and fixings as in years past, if someone wants to get them. PM me ...

I recommend just going to the grocery store there. They had a pretty good selection. I had good luck last year when I bought food for that Saturday.

My grill is a little large for me to bring, but I don't mind pitching in with the cooking if somebody else brings one.

[Silver_2000]

Who doesnt ? :rll:

Im getting worried though - rocks isnt going and Ronald isnt going, Tom L isnt and Adam cant... we need someone to step up and create some drama... :evil

[04SVTRACING]

So have we got anyone to bring the grill? I can't bring mine its a piece of sh**. It would take an hour just to cook one hamburger.

[dboat]

We took the outlaws, er in-laws, back to the airport today in Cleveland. Well, time is getting close for LFest and I still didnt have a helmet. So I popped on the World Wide Web and found out that Summit Racing has a store in Tallmadge (read Akron) only 40 miles away from the airport.. after we make a couple of obligatory stops at a couple of stores for the wife, we are off and running to Summit.. All I can say is WOW! glad I dont have one of those in my hometown or I would be broke..I could just shop in there and find things to buy that I really dont need but would love to have... anyway, I get there and wanted to try on a helmet.. asked about Bell helmets and the sales guy is trying to get me to go for a $450 one.. then all of a sudden he comes on a G-Force full face, size XXL, white and its been marked down from $260 to $160.. I have him pull it for me.. it fits like a glove.. So I am now good to go.. got me a helmet finally.. and a great deal too.. the savings paid for the trip easily..

Rocks, Ronald, Tom L, and Adam, please reconsider coming to Lfest, it just won't be the same without you guys.

You only live once, work is forever.
We are talking about 4 days of your life, even me the workaholic is going.

Think about it...it will be a blast again.:beer:

It's all about the Benjamin's Mark. I have been dumping all my money back into my company (and this included my "fun" money). Growing a company can be expensive, but that is what I want to do. By doing this I am hoping that I won't have to "work forever".

I will sure miss hanging out with everyone....:crying: ... maybe you fellers can get Doug drunk enough to show his tits this year.;) Mine have to stay home.

I have an idea...take the Video Howard made last year with you and watch it on somebodies DVD player in the parking lot to get the party going.:D

[my2002lightning]

Anyone know if they have unsecured Wi-Fi at KCIR where I could VPN?

I'm sure they do at the preferred hotel - assuming I could find a room.

Thanks,

Ronald

I fully understand, I will be working forever, not been willing to take the risk on offers to go to a start up.
Just thought I would put a final plea out there.:tu:

Rocks and I went down to FFW Ennis today and I tried to convince him in person and he wasnt buying it ....

I even told him he may as well go to Lfest cause his work network wont work that weekend anyway .. :evil :evil

Why would your truck need to be tuned again? Is it running poorly?

I think I have a canned tune from Terry because I didnt give him enough time to do a Wideband or dyno tune.. just trying to make sure I can get every little bit of HP and TQ possible.. thats all, so if he is going, and we can get away to do a wideband run, that would be great,...

[tiffo60]

since tom's not going who's bringing the chicken?:rll:

[dboat]

do we need a flashlight?

do we need any tools?

do we need to do another post up as to what folks are bringing and what else is necessary?

[03LightningRocks]

I would recommend a person always carry a flashlight and basic tools anytime they are traveling. I would also carry duct tape, some scrap pieces of wire and a real jack. That POS jack that comes in our trucks makes a great boat anchor, but sucks for lifting up a truck.

Oh yeah....and a hand gun. 9mm or larger preferred.

Uncle Rocks and I have always seemed to see eye-to-eye on this subject.:tu: http://www.ls2.com/forums/images/smilies/2gunsfiring_v1.gif

I'll be there in spirit as well.

I will plan on bringing my generator in case there are any serious racers. You can bring your fans, extension cords, power strips, battery chargers etc and use it for free.

Kim and I will be on our way this morning. We hope to jump on a caravan in Indianapolis tomorrow morning and catch up with the Talon crew tomorrow.

We had enough last year to be able to cover most of the trucks had we wanted to.

Everyone be careful on the way up. :tu:
