3rd Annual Duluth Trip, October 13th-14th (NWS)

ok i took him off the list. mike you suck

 

I'm not sure why but I am really excited about this! Last year I was in Duluth for a weekend out of town when I saw at least 20 Subies coming down one of the hills as I was going up it. I couldn't keep my eyes on the road, it was an amazing site to see.

 

Chux what is your address?

 

can one of you you highlight the 23 and 210 route on a google map to from the cities to duluth??

 

i don't need to change my oil, it doesn't stay in the car long enough to need to be changed, :laugh: thanks to someones oil pan + oil consumption.

spy hunter ftw:biggrin:


also i can't friggin wait for this, i hope they get some rain up there cause i think i wanna get dirty on sunday:biggrin:

 

your oil pan is leaking?

 

Last I heard....he will be taking the other couch at my place.


my address is: 107 E 8th St.

getting to my place: follow I35 N into town.
exit at and follow Mesaba Ave.
follow it up the hill to 7th st (stoplight) and turn right.
follow seventh to 1st ave E (second stop sign.....probably a silver '94 Tleg parked there....usually is :biggrin, turn left,
park on either side (facing either direction, we don't care about that here) of 1st ave between 8th and 9th st. my house is the 3rd one in from the alley, you'll see my subarus and 4Runner parked in the alley.



95lwrx.....I don't know about over there. but it's been raining here for about 4 days straight. don't worry, it'll still be wet next weekend. I hope it isn't raining while you guys are here. that would suck monkey nuts!

also.....my oil pan leaks too!



I'm attaching (or trying to....) a map of the route I've been planning. starting from my place, up Central Entrance (194) for lunch (at the Red Star on the map), then on to Sam's Club (Blue X), then some not-so-interesting roads to a BP Station (green X) that's usually a few cents cheaper per gallon than other places in town, then to a sweet section of Skyline Drive (just look at the twisties). the overlook where we've always taken pictures is highlighted in red.....we'll stop there. then the freeway to downtown/canal park/park point.

from there you guys can go check in, then back into Duluth for dinner at Grizzly's (purple X)

 

mike isnt going? that sucks

 

bah mike wussed out.

Urabus will not need a room.

Think of all the time i just saved you in oil changes that dont need to be done. I wotn hog all teh credit though, Mike brazed the fitting to the pan.... blame... err.. thank him.

 

the only thing that concerns me about this trip is fueling. my tune is designed around Shell v-powa. with that said, anyone else in the same boat?

I was thinking of filling up with race gas just to be safe...considering Duluth/Superior doesn't look to have Shell or any other good fuel options. BP maybe, but I haven't tried anything besides Shell since the tune.

the race gas is a spendy alternative though....

that way I can fill up when my tank reaches 1/2 or so (in duluth) and still come out okay...with the race gas hopefully offsetting the crap I might find up there.

am i talking smack? sound like a good or bad idea? am I paranoid?

 

Running the same gas is a good idea. I think race gas would be a waste.

However, from personal experience, I do think BP and Shell 92 gas are very close. And, Duluth isn't that far, I wouldn't be to worried about finding the right type of station.

 

FWIW, I trucked up to the north shore in February, and didn't have any trouble finding a BP station.

BTW: Justin, you can go ahead and add me + 1 for a king on the front page. Late plan changes ftw.

 

Hrm. I guess that doesn't surprise me.

Slightly OT, but my local BP pumps changed from 92 to 91 then back to 92 earlier this summer, all without explanation. Incidentally, my tune didn't show any change during those couple months (although it wasn't "on the edge").

I have a hard time strictly trusting the pump numbers after that..

 

i dont care...i wont be beating on my car so my car will mostly be n/a

 

edit..you wont be beating on your car on the way UP there

 

the BP station that chux mentioned is a completely different one then the one we went to last year. as such it is possible they have better gas.


3rik whats this bout your car being NA?

 

Not/Actively Racing

 

I know that station we stopped at after skyline the first year (where we scared away the neon) had 92 non oxy. i wonder if thats still there.

 

as in, mostly n/a as in not boosting.

 

So, now as I know for sure that Chris/Curly is out, who is looking for a roommate?

 

I haven't seen anything over 91 in duluth in a couple years. but I'll check that station at skyline and I35 on my way back into town tomorrow....but Deride said he knows somewhere where there's race gas. I suspect it's over in the Air Park near Archer Racing and the like.....kinda out of our way, but we could make it happen.

 

in the green car yes:biggrin: of course not on my white car, but i am taking the green one to duluth.

yeah chux it's been raining here for quite a few days now too.

 

I might need a room mate, I odn't think Fobia is going anymore.

 

Are you serious?

Oh... by the way. DIBS!!! :laugh:

 

Is your car done?

 

More like up towards pike lake.

 

I wish.

 

I'm not sure, I MIGHT need a roomie.

 

So why isn't Fobia going? I'd offer my room but I already got Scuba Steve
(No offense Dave)

 

I dunno? Thanks anyway.

 

rly:More like me putting up with you and your never-ending paranoia:run: about checking your oil. Not to mention your constant bitching :crying: cause all you can see flashing through your head is the vision of my tail lights in front of you......:emo:


ah, just kidding chet
