The first ever AUSTIN Minnesota Neons Meet to be held on Saturday, August 15, 2009 at NOON

Here is your chance to meet some new friends, and see some new cars.
This meet is being advertised on MNNeons.net, Neons.org and MidwestNeons.com in hopes to draw an Iowa crowd as well.
Austin is located on I-90 about 15 minutes from I-35 and roughly an hour and a half drive from Burnsville to Austin, MN.
Photos from our Spring Meet and last year's Fall Cruise can be viewed Here and Here.

• Pre-Austin Meet at Burnsville Center (our usual meeting spot) and drive together down to Austin • Leaving at 10:00 a.m. SHARP
• Meet at 12:00 NOON at the vacant Cashwise Foods building located at 1300 18th Avenue NW in Austin, MN.
(I will plan on being there around 11:30 in case the traffic is just perfect for the Burnsville people and you get there early.)
• Eat lunch at Applebee's (within walking distance) when everyone decides to do so.
• Depending on how many people would like to, we may take a cruise to the Spam Museum located at 1101 North Main Street in Austin, MN.
• The Mower County Fair will also be happening at this time, so there is that possibility as well • Combine Demolition Derby at 7:00 p.m.

I would love to make this event successful, so pass the info on to others!

You think there will be any drag???

Street racing? Sure, there's plenty of idiots on the one-ways that would race.. but I wouldn't suggest it..
As for a drag strip.. there's nothing around, unless you want to make a 2+ hour drive.

Cool man. will the car be done and are you attending the next meet?

wraith · **Posted:** Fri Aug 07, 2009 8:16 pm

Curious as to a count of people planning to show?
I know loserlee has posted this on a few forums so it made me wonder exactly how many people/neons will be there? I am hoping for a big turnout! Especially since i could not make it to N2K9.

Just s rough head count from what I have added up there is about 15-20 cars coming?

loserlee · **Posted:** Sat Aug 08, 2009 10:15 am

From the response we've gotten, it looks like this will be one of the larger events we've held.

Just a few though! No one needs a DWI! Plus I'll have a nice drive back to SF!
...but beer is good for you! cheaper than sex and better than jail. Hookers cost and so does bail!

Anyone that is going to this meet have a NICE rear seat for my 02 SXT?? a nice 2nd gen or a squiggle 1st gen one?? I would love to pick it up if we went to this meet....

viewtopic.php?f=3&t=346197

Anyone interested in this stuff just by chance i could bring to the meet???

Maddog · **Posted:** Tue Aug 11, 2009 9:07 pm

Does anyone know of a silver (PS2) Front bumper cover for '00-'02 they can pick up for me? I have a brand new one for trade+$ - it's unpainted, and comes with the Dodge grill insert. Has a few small scratches and scuffs, but nothing that can't be sanded out.

Lmk by PM or email - chuck@maddogsts.com

Everything is still a GO for tomorrow! Can't wait to see what kind of turnout we get since we've gotten such a great response on all the boards. Don't forget to print your your directions before you head out! I will have maps available to the Spam Museum if that's something we decide to do.

The only thing I see as a possible problem will be the heat! We may need to move our location if it gets too hot. We will be in the same parking lot, just "hidden" behind Applebee's. If you show up late, drive over towards K-Mart behind Applebee's and you will probably find us if we have moved.. There should at least be some trees over in that area to provide shade.

See you tomorrow!
