January 2007 "SCMC Carolina Meet"

[cobrabitn]

January SCMC Carolina Meet:

We are talking about having our "Annual Carolina Meet" in the Triad area of NC. Our options are to either go karting or bowling. If we bowl, we will split up into teams of four and use the scores for each team to see who is the best team and who is the worst??

What are your thoughts on this? I'm thinking January 13, 2007 for the meet????

[nckissfan]

karting is always a good time, but I know there are some that don't get into the karts. I am up for anything.

[Big Daddy]

Let's bowl. I haven't done that in several hundred years! I'll see if I can find my BALLS and my oh so cool shoes and I'll be there! :thumbsup: :D ;)

[cobrabitn]

Mike,

I think Lisa wanted to do the bowling thing but since she doesn't come to the board much anymore..... :rotf:

[nckissfan]

why's that? I was wondering where she has been hiding.

I sent you a email, Tony.:thumbsup:

[RF Cobra]

Bowling could be fun. :thumbsup:

[97whitevert]

I am 'on' the board every day!! read the "new posts" daily. I rarely post. too tired to do much nonsense posting thses days.:eek:

I am up for bowling!:bounce:

[nckissfan]

we'll put the bumpers up for you Lisa:rotf:

[97whitevert]

:rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes: whatever

[nckissfan]

is that the best you can do?:rolleyes:

[cobrabitn]

Mike,

Sounds like you got the gutters covered but you'll have to drill some more holes in her bowling ball so it won't be so heavy for her. We wouldn't want to see the ball drag her down the alley now would we?? :rotf:

I can already tell this is going to be fun and we haven't even gotten started! :thumbsup:

[nckissfan]

:rotf: ok, I will go see if Wal Mart has a Nerf bowling ball:thumbsup:

[Red03]

Bowling sounds good to me. I haven't bowled in years, it will be fun.

Mike,

Are sure you didn't mean a "smurf" bowling ball? :rotf:

Love ya Lisa ;)

[nckissfan]

you know, they may have one of those at Wal Mart, I will go look today:rotf:

[97whitevert]

I need a new bowling ball!!! my old one got chewed up in the return:eek::eek:

a blue smurf one would be GREAT!!!! can it be sonic blue? I think a 12lb will still work for me! :thumbsup::thumbsup:

[cobrabitn]

I got a Sonic Blue bowling ball with swirls in it but it's 17 lbs I think?? The finger holes are probably too big for you so you might do one of those "pull back and the ball goes in the opposite direction of the alley" tosses behind you?? :rotf:

This is going to be a ton of fun! Who's going to bring the laugh-o-meter?? I can already tell I will be crying all night from laughter. :D

[Big Daddy]

I guess so the heaviest bowling ball the manufacturers make is USUALLY 16lbs so if you have a 17lb ball you are SPECIAL!! :eek: :eek: ;) :D

Bowling is always fun, where are the lanes we will be bowling on??

[cobrabitn]

Hence "17 lbs??" I couldn't remember the exact weight but it's pretty dang heavy for a bowling ball. Mike is going to get the details for the lanes and cost. :thumbsup:

[nckissfan]

in the "boro":thumbsup: . It is a nice, clean bowling alley.

[Cobra4me]

count me in on this one. I love to bowl. I can see if I hurt my back again

[cobrabitn]

Our "Meet and Greet" is officially on January 13, 2007.

Thanks to Mike Boyle and Bill Dangerfield for setting this up for us! :thumbsup:

We will meet at Triad Lanes in Greensboro, NC at 9:30 and start at 10:00 for some competition. (What would this club be if we didn't have some sort of competition?? ;) ) Cost is around $3.00 a game so figure about $15.00 apiece.

Triad Lanes
21 Oak Branch Drive
Greensboro, NC 27407

Bowling cost will be:
$8/person for two games, and shoes
$10/person for three games, and shoes

additional games can be done, if you want

we will have a section of the parking lot saved for us, so no worries on door dings:thumbsup:

If you don't plan on being at bowling, but want to eat, please let us know!

[cobrabitn]

Bowling form 10- 4????? aahhhhmmmmmm a little long!!!we may get there about 2....

It's probably better you don't get there that early Lisa... :rolleyes: Mike and I won't need to be laughing so hard that early in the morning anyway. :rotf:

[nckissfan]

aww come on, I could use a good laugh. She's skeert:thumbsup: :rotf:

[cobrabitn]

Of course she's skeered... :baby: what did you expect from a 4 foot 6 inch blonde? We'll just have to make sure we have the gutter filled with those inflatable bumpers on her alley, when she gets there... :rotf:

I am definitely bringing my digital camera for this one! :D

[nckissfan]

I wonder if they have the booster seats at the restaurant:rotf:

[cobrabitn]

One more week! :thumbsup:

[nckissfan]

yep, one more week. This should be fun.

[Big Daddy]

I won't be coming down for this. The car is in the shop having some preventive maintenance done on it and my ankle is STILL not healed fully and bowlling or any other sport is OUT OF THE QUESTION! Looks like the doc was right when he said 4-6 months before it would be fully healed.

I hope y'all have a great time, I know I'll miss being there. :thumbsup:

[nckissfan]

you don't have to bowl, we all know your best sport is bs'ing anyways:rotf:

I don't think we can keep Emily entertained that long at the alley. We will be there at some point Saturday but not sure when, probably around noonish.

[Cobra4me]

[97whitevert]

We will be there after lunch. My arm won't let me bowl anyway:(.

see you guys there!

[Big Daddy]

We will be there after lunch. My arm won't let me bowl anyway:(.

see you guys there!

Whatcha been doing with your arm that makes you unable to bowl??? I know I about broke my ankle walking....what's your excuse?? ;) :D

[nckissfan]

ahh, Greg, Greg, don't want to hear anything. Dave Stanfield came "Cobra-less", so what was your excuse? :D


thanks to all that came out, it looked like we had a great turn out, and had fun!

[Big Daddy]

ahh, Greg, Greg, don't want to hear anything. Dave Stanfield came "Cobra-less", so what was your excuse? :D


thanks to all that came out, it looked like we had a great turn out, and had fun!

So who bowled the best?? What were the scores? Dave was Cobra-less?? What was he motoring in? Did everyone have fun??

[nckissfan]

an Exploder Limited

ahh, lets see, bowling scores, I can't remember the totals, but I think puzzle13(Mike) had the best, with Tony and Burke fighting it out for second and third. Good fun, for sure.

[97whitevert]

We had a good time talking to everyone! Tracey and I played a wicked game of pool! :D

It was great to see everyone! I will post a few pics that I took, but I am sure that tina has better than mine!:thumbsup::thumbsup:

[cobrabitn]

Greg, if you wanted to know, you should have come without your Cobra!

Basically, Mike Smith, Burke, and I were pretty close. As the games went on, Burke got better breaking the 200 mark twice. I hit the 180's and Mike hit the 170's pretty consistently. Over all, If we took the best three games for the day, Burke would be in first with Mike second and me third. Greg Peppers, Dave Stanfield, David Ridgeway, Bill Dandgerfield, and others fought diligently but they didn't come close to the top three.


The dinner room was great as it had a huge big screen in it and we watched the Indy game while we ate dinner. We basically discussed the Parkway show and what we needed to make it a better more organized event for 2007. While it may have been a hike for you to drive, it was worth it to see everyone having fun at the bowling alley. Everyone agreed that this was better than karting as we got the ladies involved and watching them bowl was a lot of fun.

A huge thanks to Mike and Tina, Bill and Binky for setting this up for us! :thumbsup:

[Big Daddy]

Well six hours down and back with a bad foot in my Durango didn't sound like fun. Then when I got down there I couldn't even kick your butts bowling because of the foot. I thought I would be "GREEN" and save the gas................................................................................(for some high speed passes in the snake!) I'm glad everyone had a great time! :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

[nckissfan]

hey, you we love busting your balls, Greg:rotf:

[puzzle13]

It was a really good time no matter what you bowled. Burke did go to sleep 2 times and end up with 200 games! I guess practice makes perfect ... his first 5 or so were a little lower.:D None the less ... it was a good time!

[nckissfan]

yeah, it was a good time

[cobrabitn]

I don't know about y'all but I am sore as crap from doing that. My legs and arms are just sore and my middle finger on my right hand is still swollen. :rotf: Oops, wait a minute, that might be because I flipped that car that cut me off a bird. :D

[RF Cobra]

We had a great time and enjoyed seeing everyone that was there Saturday.

[nckissfan]
