volvie! Posted March 16, 2009 Report Share Posted March 16, 2009 Hi Everyone,If you are in California, you are probably already aware of the Annual Davis Car Show & Swap Meet (which is currently in its eleventh year) and Track Day at Thunderhill Raceway in Willows.This year, the events are scheduled on Sunday & Monday, April 26-27, 2009.What you may not already know is that the Golden Gate VCOA (GGVCOA) recently canceled some events due to economics and lack of interest, including the April Track Day.The GGVCOA is also going through a transition period and announced new leadership. CJ Yother has stepped in as the GGVCOA President while Dick Thomas stepped in as Vice President. If you are in the area, please send them a warm welcome!The new leadership is trying to resurrect the April Track Day and needs to hear from you if you are interested in running.For more information, check out the website:http://www.goldengatevcoa.org/events/thunder_09.htmlHere's a copy of paste from the website:"The cost is $200.00 for the day, with lunch included. The cost is the same for club members and non-members. We need to have deposits in place by March 24th to make the event happen. If we don’t get enough participants, we’ll have to cancel and refund your money. We also need help with logistics and driver skill instruction. There are many ways to enjoy the day, support the event, and the participants."For more information about the Davis Meet:http://www.goldengatevcoa.org/davis_09.html Lets make the Track Day happen!Take care,volvie!

volvie! Posted March 18, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2009 Hi Everyone,Updates!!There is discussion of the possibility of an impromptu dyno day with John from Evil Genius Racing (on Sunday, after the Davis Car Show)!Here's a quote and link to the latest update from CJ (the new GGVCOA President) over at Turbobricks:I received an invitation from John Pagel at Evil Genius Racing this afternoon offering up an impromptu post Davis dyno GTG at his shop. Information and updates on the track day and dyno party will be posted on the chapter forum. If you aren't a member you should be. We will be sending out newsletters and member announcements to forum and chapter members.I have a few options to invite others to participate, but would prefer to keep it to Volvos if possible. Get those sign up sheets and payments in so we don't have to ask!http://forum.goldengatevcoa.orghttp://www.goldengatevcoa.orgCJ YotherGolden Gate VCOA Chapter Presidenthttp://forums.turbobricks.com/showpost.php...mp;postcount=49And, here is a quote from John over on the 1800list:Look out shameless plug coming!Yes, at my shop. We drop the price to $40 for 3 pulls (includingwide band AFR) during the Volvo Dyno day. 2 wheel drive only, sorry AWDguys. The idea is to head over to my shop (7 miles) after the Davismeet winds up, Dyno cars until they're all done, go to sleep and then headoff to the track early in the morning..We'll have 48 hours of Volvo madness.-Johnhttp://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/1800list/message/101321If you have any questions, let me or CJ know!Take care,volvie!
