Mountain-Prairie Roll Call

jwthomp · 03-20-2006, 12:45 PM

Mountain-Prairie SSR Owners - let's get ourselves organized, shall we? If you live in the following states, please post a reply with your location.

Colorado
Kansas
Montana
North Dakota
Nebraska
South Dakota
Utah
Wyoming

I look forward to hearing from more owners from the Mountain Prairie region, and hopefully we can get some events started for our area. We have great destinations; be it the Black Hills of South Dakota, Flint Hills of Kansas, Rocky Mountain National Park, Yellowstone National Park and Zion National Park to name a few. The rest of the SSR nation wants to visit, and we're the region's hosts, so to speak. Stand up and be counted!

I am in Texas, but I am thinking about cruising up that away sometime this summer to visit some friends. Still on the planning, and begging permission from the wife stages, but maybe.

thanks jwthomp!
I was tired of seeing my "slingshot spotted" post

I rarely see ssRs around here, makes me feel elite

other times just lonely

not really, black beauty keeps me company

If you look at the Pin map, I'm the only Fanatic in Kansas. The small town I live in has five SSRs!!!! I guess I'm the only one with access to the internet!!!

wildcat66 · 03-21-2006, 07:02 PM

Lets just say the smartest one found this web site

Stretch · 03-22-2006, 04:33 PM

Now ya got me blushing!!!!!!!

Ricochet sends a shout out in the Great Lakes forum and gets 32 replies - only five here. Perhaps our region is more practical - if you can't tow a horse trailer with it or go 4-wheeling, what's the use?

Well, I know better - there are more SSRs in our region than the three of us (well, four if you count Frank. - we're glad to have you!)

So, has everyone seen the Ruidoso thread? Anyone interested in racking up some miles on your SSRs?

I saw a post a while back from a Colorado Springs SSR owner - I think I'll PM him and see if I can get him to log on and get counted. Hopefully he has his profile set up to email him.

hubersgl · 03-22-2006, 09:25 PM

Utah here also. I know of about 5 or six SSR that I have seen in person here in Utah. Would like to see something happen here.

jwthomp · 03-22-2006, 10:17 PM

OK, here's the MIA list:

JoeFargo (ND)
Buffalo (SD)
Stan Hahn (WY) (Not a Fanatic? What's up with that?)
vette686 (WY)
HARDOC (CO)
Hot Wheels (NE)
Topcat55 (NE)

Thanks to the representatives from the states of Kansas and Utah for 100% check-in (all three of 'em

)

I'm in Omaha Nebraska about 600 miles from you. I have 2500* miles on my 2 year old 2004 SSR. I've seen several SSR's in Omaha, but have never meant another owner. I have contacted, by email, the only other member of the Fanatics & received no reply.

I believe there are enough SSR's in the Omaha area to have a get together if they were awear of each other.

Long story short it would be difficult to have a weekend get together when the area is more than 1000 miles squared.

Wyoming here ! Visited Salt lake in November, cruised antelope island top down for a day. Soon moving to Wisconsin though.

Hello
I'm game Count me in from Montana

jwthomp · 03-28-2006, 08:26 PM

Welcome and thanks for stepping forward!

I saw a Redline Red SSR eastbound on Highlands Ranch Parkway and Colorado in Highlands Ranch on Monday 3/27 around 11am - is the owner lurking out there somewhere?

JoeFargo · 03-29-2006, 07:13 AM

Smokin Asphalt in Fargo, ND...

I don't check this part of the forum very often as it gets so little activity.

Took the SSR out of the garage last weekend for a short drive. There was a Toppers Car Club show in West Fargo, so drove the SSR up there and cruised through the parking lot, where I saw a black SSR with MN plates (FastSSR) If I'd had more time I'd have parked right next to it with my HOT SSR plates. It would have made a cool pic, but mine was all dusty and crappy looking from sitting in the garage all winter.

There is a big car show in Deadwood in late summer called "Hot Deadwood Nights" or something close to that. It might be a good time to get SSR people together.

krash59 · 03-31-2006, 09:30 PM

Ok, technically I live in Missouri (Kansas City), but I'm less than 15 minutes from Kansas. Soooo.... since all the other SSR owners in my "region" seem to live in Michigan

, can I claim refugee status??

jwthomp · 04-01-2006, 01:27 PM

krash59: Sure you can!

The unfortunate reality is it seems we're all s c a t t e r e d in our region, which covers a lot of territory. I like the Deadwood suggestion - perhaps if we could get some more information on it it might be something to consider.

krash59 · 04-03-2006, 07:50 PM

I like the Deadwood idea, how about a Yellowstone run? I like the Quad cities idea too.

Hot Wheels · 04-18-2006, 06:32 AM

Yellowstone sound good!

Nancy24 · 04-18-2006, 06:53 AM

When I was in KS in Feb, I spotted a slingshot yellow on Hwy 54 outside of Moran - was it anyone here on the forum??
