              Ok what month is this, Oh Ya its, MARCH.  We are kicking off this month with the new meeting time slot of 6pm.  I know that cuts into many of your last min rush to clean the cars up for the meetings, but hey you'll have to get used to it.

                   We chose to do this in order to get more daylight at the meetings, and with the upcoming spring clocks roll ahead, we are going to have a ton of daylight at the meetings.  This will also allow for more chances of doing after meeting cruises.  Even if it is just an after meeting cruise to go out for ice cream or coffee after the meeting.    So remember change all your schedules its Six PM that's 6 PM, ok did we get that 6pm.  Just think 6-6-6, er wait that's, oh never mind, just remember 6pm.

                   Now on to the meeting stuff.    I know Car2Lo aka Jon will be there with his Widebody-Choptop-3800SC car, so I know a lot of people are going to be happy to see that return to the monthly meetings.  I am betting Hugh will be there with his awesome 383ci Chevy V8 6spd, and I hear there might be a Turbocharged V8 also making its debut at the meeting.  I am not going to let that secret out of the bag, but I hear it is being driven on test runs right now.    With my leg feeling much better, I am getting really tempted to toss a permit on my V8 and bring it out for the meeting.   It's still not exactly in perfect shape, however the urge to drive it is starting to take over my better judgment of keeping it here and working out all the bugs.   

          Roadfury dropped by my place with his 85GT V6 4spd car today and we did some tinkering and tweaking, when he came here, he was so disappointed with the performance of the car, and frankly just thought that was the way Fiero's were, by the time he left here, the car was smoking up the tires and screaming down the street.     It really brings up an interesting point, if you have a Fiero, and face it if you are reading this, you probably do, and have never driven another Fiero, you may not know what you are missing.       It's possible your car has had issues since day one and you just did not know it.   You may want to ask to take a ride in or, if the owner is willing, let you drive a car that is similar to yours.  Maybe the 2 of you could swap cars for a quick cruise around the block.   Club runs are a great place to get a benchmark on how your car compares to large number of cars.   If you find yourself getting left behind at every light, or feeling like you are going to fly off the road in the corners when everyone else seems to be taking a leisurely stroll, it might be time to start checking things.   Especially if you find yourself needing a fuel stop, when everyone else has only used 1/4 tank of fuel.

The big topics of the meeting will be upcoming events.

         So I'll let the calendar do the speaking for the rest of this message.   

Also I would like to say Thank you to a few people who recently have stood up to help with the details.   Patrick is assisting with meeting info, Tristen is writing the meeting wrap up letters, Dr. Fiero is showing a more active role in setting up club scheduling, and as always Lisa for manning the club funds, club raffles, club rosters, and general club stuff at the sign in table.

With coming events we need to get input from the people attending and finalize all the details.   

I look forward to seeing all of you there at the meeting.   I am sure it will be a blast.
