Ok I'll let Dawg or Capt add the details. But here's the basics. Arlington 2011 June 4th Information Contact Information David Bergquist Email mailto:capt@captfiero.com - capt@captfiero.com Cell 604-807-2623 MSN mailto:hotrodfiero@shaw.ca - hotrodfiero@shaw.ca http://www.jetcityfieros.com/ - Jet City Fiero's link Dave McKague http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/fierosnw/ - link June 4th 2011 6:15am-6:45am We will meet at the Tim Horton's just East of the Corner of HWY 10 and 152nd Street in Surrey at that time we will all check our Radio's and set all radios to channel 20 sub channel 0. If you have spare GMRS radio's please bring them as it would be nice to see a radio in every car. MAKE SURE YOU HAVE GOOD BATTERIES. Most people grab coffee and a pop while we look over the cars. Special Note, if you have Extra Radio's. Please bring them. I want to make sure that everyone gets at least one. VOX IS NOT PERMITTED ON THE DRIVE. If your radio has VOX capability Please do not use it. VOX is the Voice Activated portion of some Radios. It might be great in the forest, but in a car on the highway with cabin noise, and wind and stereos they have a tendency to activate the radio and lock out anyone else from talking. 6:45 we will leave and head for the border Crossing at After we all clear customs we will regroup at the Chevron on the left side of the street just across the border for those that wish to fill up with the cheaper American fuel. Then I-5 and We will make one stop on the way down at a rest area about midway. Please keep your radio’s, ears and eyes open for our pull off. This is a great time for the slower people to catch up That's pretty much it till we get to Arlington 8:45am Arrive at Arlington Take exit 206 and head east about 3-4 blocks to a Food Mart there will be a grocery store on the right, where we can buy picnic supplies. Money from the Club Funds pays for our basic food and drinks. If you want a 10oz T-Bone. Ya better Buy anything you want specialty grilled IE steaks and sauces. The club will be buying, hamburgers, hot dogs, chips, salad, condiments, pop and water. This entire procedure usually takes about an hour. We will then caravan to the ultra light air field for the actual picnic The picnic starts at 10am Quick info GMRS Channel 20 Meeting at Tim Horton's HWY 10 and 152nd Street in Surrey. 6:30am Cross Boarder at 7am MUST HAVE VALID PASSPORT .

The club would like to pick up the non food items up here. IE Paper Plates, Forks, Knives, Spoons, assorted storage containers that can be given to the JCF guys for food leftovers. Napkins, even if allowed some condiments and other items that are OK to go through the boarder wtih and not get flagged into the office. If anyone has any of these items and would like to donate them that would be awesome, or let us know where is a good place to pick them up. Lisa is thinking the discount dollar type stores would be our best bet. ------------- Capt Fiero 88 Fiero GT 5spd V6 Eight Fifty Seven GT V8 5spd. |

John, I hope I am just missing your Italian humor. You had better not just be coming, but I hope you can lead the pack. Assuming you can keep your beast under the 200kph speed limit for this run. Ya know us non supercharged guys will have a hard time keeping up at 250kph. LOL, In all seriousness you and Gina have to be there, we really miss you when you guys aren't able to attend a run and trust me when you are absent I must get asked 1/2 dozen times at an event hey where is John and his chopper. So pack your stuff cause your coming regardless if we have to come to your place, stuff you in your own trunk and drag you screaming over the blower whine. ------------- Capt Fiero 88 Fiero GT 5spd V6 Eight Fifty Seven GT V8 5spd. |

Dammit Colby, I thought you were supposed to be a bright young guy! How long have you known about our run to Arlington? And you just checked your passport today, 48 hours from the event? Kids! I'd go anyway and use the expired passport. Just act dumb and pretend you had no idea it expired. I mean heck, it just very recently expired. Take all kinds of other ID along as well. The worst they can do is turn you back.

Is it even televised down there? I suppose that's an option, except I suspect not everyone from the club would be interested in the game. And that would divide our convoy on the trip back.

Date Posted: 02 June 2011 at 7:08pm

In any event, I'm recording the game so that I can watch it at some point when I get back. The game better not go longer than one period of overtime as I've set the DVD-recorder on EP mode which puts four hours on a disc. More than four hours per disc and the video quality sucks. Yeah, I admit that a PVR is superior when it comes to long broadcasts and not being home to swap in a second disc.

You know, it's possible we're worrying about missing the game for nothing. After checking http://www.westcoastfieros.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1786&PN=2&TPN=5 - This thread from last year's Arlington run, I noticed Tristan's first post upon returning. Make note of the time!
The simplest thing for us to do is to just make sure we leave in plenty of time to make it home for the game. The picnic actually folds up relatively early, as what the heck, it starts pretty early!

I'm with Patrick on this....(did I actually say that?) I can say with a lot of certainty, that if you show up near the end of the pack, so that a bunch of us have already been through the same crossing booth, they will let you in no problem. They know you're part of a car club doing something fun and not a loonie. Besides, bring more ID to back up the Passport and all will be well. It's a nice run. Don't miss it. The Dawg

Honestly when it comes to this hole sports hero thing, I have more respect for Brian and our Fiero crew on the track than Luango or the Canucks. Sorry guys, I grew up with Yankee's. I used to root for the Portland Trailblazers and even that has faded.
Now on to the important stuff.
This is the list that I put together for Lisa and I, hopefully it jogs the brain of a few people that might not be thinking of all the things they should have. This is just a list of stuff from Canada. 4 chairs. (2 for us, 1 for Arianna and 1 extra) I don’t want to haul all the amounts we have. Both Digital Cameras. Charged and with Blank SD cards in them for lots of Photos and Videos. Blanket to lay on. Sun Tan/block Lotion At least one umbrella for Sun Shade. The Folding Canopy. Spare Tools and parts like Ignition Module, Pickup Coil and Ignition Coil. Radar detector Passports GPS units programed with the Airport. Ice Cooler The FRS Radios are going to need Batteries. If anyone has an extra folding canopy that will fit in there Fiero we can always use an extra down there. Folding Chairs we always try to bring at least one extra. Once we all get to the food Pavilion, we will take a final head count and go buy the food. Food the club is buying Burgers Hot Dogs Hot Dog Buns Hamburger Buns Lettuce Tomatoes’ Pop in cans Several bags of Ice Knives and Forks Spoons Potato Chips Assorted Picnic items Napkins I am sure there is other stuff, but we will see how it goes. Remember if you are only paying dues as a single person and you are bring a guest, please toss Lisa roughly $5 for a child and $10 for an adult.

I was joking around guys. I know last year I did some rather insanely fast maneuvers, but I honestly was just showing off how well the trailer really works behind a Fiero. Entire trailer NEW from Harbor Freight was only $169. It was the only one they actually rated as safe for freeway speeds. I actually do "plan" to keep it semi civil on this run. Now my civil and your civil might be two totally different things, but suffice it to say I won't be crossing the high side of 180 at all. Probably a nice 140kph cruise with a few quick zips to 160 to maneuver around traffic. ------------- Capt Fiero 88 Fiero GT 5spd V6 Eight Fifty Seven GT V8 5spd. |

Ugh, I am still outside cleaning garbage from the car, sorting things to go in. Lisa is packing the cutting board and knives needed. We are still trying to find out box of AAA batteries for the FRS Radios as well. I have not even looked at fluid levels and I am pretty sure my trans is a little low. However its too dark to go out and check it tonight. Fortunately the Getrag has a dipstick, so it'll be a quick check in the morning. Damn its after 10:30 we are not done packing, and I still need to take a shower. Ya know having an 18 month old that can't yet be left alone outside while you are doing things, so you have to wait until after she goes to bed at 8:30pm really puts a damper on getting ready for these type of things.

T maybe you and I will have to break away from the group for a couple quick zips then, I am sure Damian wants to stretch the legs of the new 3.4 as well. However like I said, no real crazy zipping in and out of traffic. Only open it up in a good clean straight, and if you see my pound my brakes, it means my Radar detector has gone off. If you see me tapping my brakes it means that there Might be cops.
P.S. People please remember to bring a spare set of clothes in case it gets really hot, or cools off. ------------- Capt Fiero 88 Fiero GT 5spd V6 Eight Fifty Seven GT V8 5spd. |

LOL, Go to Bed, you have a hard enough time getting up for meets even when you get 8hrs sleep, and this time you have to be up freaking early. ------------- Capt Fiero 88 Fiero GT 5spd V6 Eight Fifty Seven GT V8 5spd. |

I'd tell you to go to sleep too, but I have my suspicions that you are actually an android as you don't seem to ever sleep. I see you posting nearly 24hrs a day.
However I think this may be my last post as I am going to head for the shower and then head for bed. See ya all at Timmie's. ------------- Capt Fiero 88 Fiero GT 5spd V6 Eight Fifty Seven GT V8 5spd. |

I've been called a lot of things over the years, but never an "android"! I'll be going to bed soon. I need my beauty sleep.

Damn I took that shower and used a really aggressive scrubber and filled it with GoJo, I think it took off a layer of skin, but HOLY CRAP I feel so much better. Totally re-energized. I could stay up all night like this. Is it even worth going to bed if I have to be up in 3hrs 45mins. ------------- Capt Fiero 88 Fiero GT 5spd V6 Eight Fifty Seven GT V8 5spd. |

Its 3am here and guess who is still awake. But the eyes are starting to get a bit tired. I might need a wakeup call at 5am just to make sure I am up. 2hrs sleep is going to suck. Looks like I will be drinking a LOT of NOS over the course of the day. ------------- Capt Fiero 88 Fiero GT 5spd V6 Eight Fifty Seven GT V8 5spd. |

Great ride guys! Michelle and I enjoyed our new machine very much. The weather was perfect, the turnout was fantastic and the cruisin' buddies were the best. Thanks everyone for making it fun. Thanks to Dave and Lisa for a great event. The Dawg ------------- You dream it up....I'll make it |

Well it was a blast, the weather was perfect, the company was great. The cars were plentiful. Even got to see an old friend from many years ago. With luck he will be one of our newest members. Here is a quick teaser shot, I'll try to get the gallery done tonight, but if not look for it sometime tomorrow.
I just want to say a huge thanks to all the people of Jet City that made this happen and a huge thanks to all the members of West Coast Fiero's that helped Lisa and I pull this event together and a special thanks to those that took the time to cook the food on the BBQ in the sun that was nearly as hot as the BBQ itself.

And here are the pics. There are 109 of them. Also please check out http://captfiero.com/videos/club_runs/Arlington2011/ - http://captfiero.com/videos/club_runs/Arlington2011/ for the raw high res video's that were shot. Especially the Mechanics area. This was in regards to Tristan's engine meltdown With any luck, someone like John or Patrick can drag the high res video's down and edit them into something more download friendly. I put up the raw high res just so they had good footage to work from.

Glad you and Gretchin made it home, dude. You had us all worried there for awhile. Thanks to Dave and Lisa for all the behind the scenes preparation for a club outing such as this. Good fun!

We made it home, but the sheer irritation of not having a vehicle is already grating on me. She can be such a [female canine] sometimes. ------------- Never shift into reverse without a back-up plan. |

I'll see what I can do, Dave. I'll have to wait until tomorrow evening though. I'm bagged after being in the sun all day, and I've got an autocross to attend bright and early tomorrow.

The last of the video's won't even be done downloading until probably 10:30pm, so no major rush. However I am sure you will be happy with the quality even though it is in mov format. ------------- Capt Fiero 88 Fiero GT 5spd V6 Eight Fifty Seven GT V8 5spd. |

Hey Dave, I love this shot. You can see my brake calipers "glowing" through the spinning wheels.
