Car Clubs in WI - 05/16/07 01:31 AM

Anyone know if there are any good Grand Prix clubs in Wisconsin? Preferably in the Milwaukee or Madison areas. It would be cool to check out some other cars in person and see what people have done. Also, anyone else on GPN in my area?

I've been looking for a WicGp too, and haven't really found one.

But I live in Kenosha which is about 40mins away from Milwaukee

Well it looks like they have a lot of registered members, but they don't use their forums hardly at all and very rarely meet . . hmmm

Its the same here in Minnesota. We have a few clubs but the forums are hardly ever used and very rarely meet. Once and great while some of us will hook up at Wendys or Porkys on University Ave in St Paul.

Y'know, the drag strip is preeeety close to being right in the middle of us lol.


Sadly, I'm going to try to cancel my turbo order.

There have been some things happening and well, family comes first.

Can't go getting my license taken away or getting myself/somebody else killed.

Dang! I hope everything is well! But, you can get that stuff later.

I've been planning to try to get out at the drag strip but don't have that much time.

If you find a night you are free, send me a PM or something. I'll check the event list and see if we can have a race wink

Yes, I know I'll lose.

Re: Car Clubs in WI - 05/16/07 04:46 PM

Yeah, no prob! I was thinking about trying to go myabe in 3 weeks or some maybe we can sent up a meet or something..? If anyone else wants to go....?

As far as a race idk I'm not that much of a racer.....I'm just weird..lol but maybe we can go for one run.....I don't really like to beat on my cars

Re: Car Clubs in WI - 05/16/07 04:58 PM

I just meant a run down the track once for fun.

I KNOW my tranny hates me lol. I don't want to hurt it anymore.

My buddy has a stock '02 Civic Si and doesn't believe any of the 3 timeslips for a stock Si that it's a 16s car.

So he and I are going to go for a run.

Hopefully, we can all set a day and have about 4 (?) of us there.

Re: Car Clubs in WI - 05/16/07 08:21 PM

Does anyone else want to go? Maybe other W-bodys? idk we should have some sort of meet there? I've never been there, and maybe ill bring the probe instead of the Gtp.

Hercman how could we become founders? Or start a club.......?

I am in. Live in howard. North of green bay. I have been to the wicgp and http://wicgpsucks.net/forum/index.php

the guys seem okay, but they are all in milwaukee and just complain about wicgp.

Anybody else in wisconsin that doesn't live down south?

Re: Car Clubs in WI - 05/16/07 09:52 PM

Tada! Thanks for the research but i can't download that file on to my sidekick 3 "cell phone"

Do you think we could start a club up?

Idk about you but I'm always on here.....thanks to the sk3, and it would be pretty cool to start a club!

Re: Car Clubs in WI - 05/16/07 09:54 PM

I would love to take my car out on the track. But... its stock and its not fast. And I have never even tried it.

Would be nice to have a club within decent driving distance. Don't know how much help i would be on mod day but it would be fun to drink beer and work on our cars without somebody saying "F this lets go play guitar hero"

Re: Car Clubs in WI - 05/16/07 10:01 PM

That Wicgpsucks is not my type a forum......idk about you guys but I'm more a family site.

Dang the Fridge why do you have to live so north! Lol just messing!

Re: Car Clubs in WI - 05/16/07 10:22 PM

Ya know what sux about that is I have seen a few nice grand prix's around here. There is one kid a few years younger than me still in high school that has a nice black one. Then I saw a few nicec cars. White and red by lambeau field.

I am just gonna have to start following people home....

And giving them this website so that we can start a "Top half o wisconsin" club.

Re: Car Clubs in WI - 05/17/07 11:39 AM

I've been there onces, and I think you have to take "KR", and just follow the road.......but I'm not sure........

I pretty much think this is going to turn into a meet of some kind!

Would you guys run cars??

Re: Car Clubs in WI - 05/17/07 05:51 PM

As long as I don't have to drive to milwaukee i will bring the ole stock gtp to the track.

I don't expect to see anything but tailigts but it would be fun.

Re: Car Clubs in WI - 05/17/07 06:38 PM

Your gonna come from green bay? Dang! That's a drive

Re: Car Clubs in WI - 05/17/07 07:55 PM

Make sure we have a good day then guys. Don't want Fridge drivin all the way down and not being able to go to the track, although things could be arranged for you to stay south of Milw. so we could all go.

And yeah, it's KR. Exit 337 I think. There are signs on I-94 telling you that Great Lakes Dragaway is ahead.

Once you are on KR it's a looooong drive through pretty backdoorsy terrain until you see a great big sign on the left saying "Great Lakes Dragaway"

And I sure as heck would run my car! I have fun when people make fun of my car because it's a GP. Because I know the ZZP/Stattama GP owns all.

And I'm sure none of us have the $$$ to do anything really difficult on a mod day. Maybe twisting some dogbone mounts but I doubt anything past a bolt-on.

Also, I'm not going to waste a day of GP awesomeness on Guitar Hero. Maybe DDR, but not Guitar Hero.

What would REALLY be fun is if we all rolled into Great Lakes in a line together.

Re: Car Clubs in WI - 05/18/07 09:58 PM

So do you guys really want to have some sort of meet? And when should we do this? Idk if you guys would like to go see imports or muscle or whatever.......I myself really don't care......

How many people are willing to come?
Posted by: zXLankyXz

Re: Car Clubs in WI - 05/19/07 03:11 AM

I would definitely be willing to do something. Whether it be taking runs at the track or just going somewhere with that cars . . . personally I don't care. I would make a run with my car (although I need to get all the crap in my garage installed first) and I do have a PowrTuner that we could use if we went to the track.

Re: Car Clubs in WI - 05/20/07 11:06 PM

i can't believe there is nobody on this site closer than a two hour drive. Crap, it only takes me 45min to get to escanaba MI. Maybe I should get ahold of a few u-per prixs.

I have a crazy schedule but I get two weekends a month off.

So the next time I get some money and the weekend off I will see if there is anything going down by you guys we can atleast get out to the track. Otherwise I see my chances of being able to do much being slim.
