Godlover Posted February 22, 2010 #1 Posted February 22, 2010 I've been talking to Cougar about hosting a maintenance day here in Newton sometime this summer and we are working on a date. Newton is in the middle of the state, I live right off 1-80 - have four garage stalls and a few tools. Plus, there is a Super 8 less than a block from our house for those who might want to stay the night. Other hotels close by as well. We have a city park in our back yard with a shelter as well. I think it is an ideal place to do it. My wife and I both are pastors serving different churches so it will have to be a Saturday when we don't have a family event, weddings or races at the Speedway. We have a policy of no alcohol at our house so booze will be out. I don't have a problem with alcohol - just a choice we made and adhere to it at our house. I've never been to a maintenance day but think it would be fun. I'm putting this out here now just to see how much interest we can muster. For you race fans, Newton is the home of NASCAR's Iowa Speedway. I'm a chaplain there. We also will host the Hot Rod Power Tour on June 5th!
Snaggletooth Posted February 22, 2010 #2 Posted February 22, 2010 Now that one might possible for me! Don't know what I might have left to fix by then but it's at least a chance to meet up with some of these folks. And you're just north a bit of Sully. I got family over there. Might be a good trip to make. I'll keep an eye on this one. Later Mike
Godlover Posted February 22, 2010 Author #3 Posted February 22, 2010 Great Mike - hope you can make it once we get the dates set. Yep, Sully is just a hop, skip and a jump from here. My nieces and nephews graduated from Lynnville/Sully.
SteveB Posted February 22, 2010 #4 Posted February 22, 2010 I'll keep an eye on this cause it might work out for me. A nice trip also. Steve
Snaggletooth Posted February 22, 2010 #5 Posted February 22, 2010 You know any Kunces? Got clan spread from Carrol thru Jefferson and into Sully? Bunch of 'em over that way.
Godlover Posted February 22, 2010 Author #6 Posted February 22, 2010 Nope- but I bet my sister knows some of the family. We've been in this area for less than 4 years.
Snaggletooth Posted February 22, 2010 #7 Posted February 22, 2010 For a while I thought there was Kunce in every little town over there. LOL! Anyway, I'll be watching this thread. Thanks Mark Mike
Cougar Posted February 22, 2010 #8 Posted February 22, 2010 I will bring my Carb_Tune for anybody that want to use it OR I will adjust for you and teach you how to use it. I will also bring more tools. *Yippy* Sounds like fun! Maybe in MAY, JULY ? AUG>>>??? Don's Maintenance Day is in JUNE! Jeff
Godlover Posted February 22, 2010 Author #9 Posted February 22, 2010 We have it narrowed down - It will be in July - either the 17th or 24th. Before we finalize the date let's see who is interested in which date works best. We have plenty of room!
