I thought I’d get the jump on this year and make the announcement about this years Meet Up early. This way those of you that are looking to travel to the event have plenty of lead time.
The 2013 ETCG Meet Up will be Saturday July 20, 2013 at the ETCG shop. It will officially start at 12pm EST and go till… well I’m not sure. I hope to have more give aways as well as some other activities to keep us busy while we hang out and talk dirty. Here’s a Google map of the shops location.
I’m open to suggestions on what you’d like to do or see during the meet up. Feel free to post them to this thread. I look forward to seeing you there.
Here’s the video from last years event.

[quote=”mflstc” post=67485]Thank you Eric The Car Guy for what I consider a very fun & enjoyable etcg meetup 2013 ![/quote]
Thank you for coming. It was great meeting you.
Thank you Eric for giving us a chance to spend some time with you. Appreciated the food, the folks and the conversations.
One thing (not to pick nits, but): I believe you incorrectly described how Honda CVCC engine combustion works. The small third valve lets in a very small but very rich mixture at the last moment during intake and its positioned right next to the spark plug. That small rich mixture is ignited first and causes the very large, but very lean, main mixture to burn as well on the power stroke. Thus, as you mentioned, the overall mixture is very lean burn and therefore low emissions and impressive mpg. And this was introduced in early 1975 I think (because I owned one)… It was advertised as capable of running on leaded or unleaded during the fuel shortages of the mid 70’s when unleaded was being introduced and was in short supply. I ran a lot of leaded while folks were in line waiting at the unleaded islands! Only long term issue was the very small intake passage for the third valve would clog up with fuel deposits after a period of time.
PS: I’m the guy from Lexington, KY, and thanks again for a great day![quote=”ChrisR1987″ post=67525]the meet up was AMAZING cant wait for next years. So many wonderful people there[/quote]

Eric,
Thanks for a memorable and informative meet up. We had a great day for it and meeting other members was awesome.
I wish I didn’t have to leave as soon as I did, unfortunately I threw my back out prior to arriving to your shop (It wasn’t lifting up the engine that did it either..). I could not get comfortable to save my life either standing or sitting…
Looking forward to next years already.
Cheers!
