@bluehawk can i get some info on this?

 

[bluehawk]

@benbalito We have a meeting usually the first Tuesday of every month. We normally meet up and eat at Sweet P's downtown Knoxville around 6pm. A lot of the guys have a lot of stuff going on with travel ball, cheerleading, baseball, etc. Looks like the next meeting will be Aug 3rd. The club page hasn't been very active lately. If you want my number, send me a DM and I'll contact you the weekend prior to the meeting. I'm busy with work most of the time and in the process of building a 40 series right now and its in the Hard Core section "Project Lockjaw". It is also on the club page but not updated on here very often.

Sorry for the late reply. No meeting. I think we are planning on having the next meeting Sept 8th which is a Wednesday. Knox County Schools have started back and a lot of the members are busy with school activities. Trying to come up with some ideas of what day of the week is good for a meeting. Throw out some ideas.

Are you planning on having a meeting tomorrow (Sept 8)?

Just via a texting chain. Handful of us headed up Sat the 18th and plan to meet up with the 70 series guys up there. The 70 series meet and greet is posted…I put a comment about heading up there. Should have at least 1ea 40, 2ea 80s and 1ea 100 headed there from Knoxville (maybe missing someone).

OK, nice. I'm reading up on Windrock now, not familiar with it. I may jump in and join you guys. How gnarly is the trail you're running? Is it a day run or overnight? My cell is 602-741-6467 if you wouldn't mind looping me in.

From my understanding it is going to be a mild trial ride just for the day. Everyone from the club that are going are local. Windrock is what you make of it, anything from gravel roads to straight up rock crawling and breaking stuff. The 18th will be somewhat mild.

 

[Dissent]

Sounds fun, I'm looking forward to meeting you guys and having a good time!

Good to hear from you Blake! Welcome (re-welcome) to the club. What kind of carb work are you looking for? Rebuild, tuning, change, etc…?

Nice looking fleet you have there!!!

Nik

 

[Sharpfj40]

Hi Nik, thank you for the reply. I need a mechanic to help me with the timing/tuning of a recently rebuilt factory carb for the 1979 (de-smog). It runs but does not seem to be getting enough fuel.

 

[Subterranean Nik]

I can certainly help you (to a point at least). Hit me up in DM and we can figure out when schedules align and I can run by and help you sort…

Thank you Nik! I am going to mess with it on Monday and hopefully get it straightened out. I will let you know if I am successful or not.

Best,
Blake
