Not sure yet.  Ohio requires a front plate.  I may keep the MI plate. 

I would keep the MI plate.  Ohio does require a front plate....but most cops won't pull you over for it, unless they are small town, suburb cops who have nothing better to do.  Now that my 05 is a pleasure vehicle, I took my front plate off and will not be putting it back on.  The tactic most of us use is to keep the front plate in the glove box or next to your seat, if you get pulled over just throw it up in the dash.  Or band it to your passenger side visor and just flip it down.

I never thought about banding it uP to passenger visor.

That's kinda ghetto.  I think I may have a solution.  Either way, I've got a little bit of time.  Right now I need to get my license in OH.  My MI one is about to expire. 

[ryans7thgen]

If the cop wants to push the issue both on the dash and on your visor are not legal either.  I has to be displayed on the front of the vehicle.  My old neighbor was a Columbus cop and said that it states that it is to be on the front of the car.  He would actually pull people over in certain parts of town if they had it there.  Drug dealers commonly keep their front plate there.

2011 Ohio Hondas Spring Meet @ 1st Annual Horizon Audio Dyno Day for Dogs & Cruise-In

Here are the final details...finally. We have changed the name, to accomodate our new cause, the Stark County Humane Society. Canned food drives are definitely a good cause, but this is a cause that is near and dear to some of our hearts, and after some personal experience with them lately, it seems like they're DEFINITELY in need of some help.

DATE:
Saturday, May 14th, 2011

LOCATION:
Horizon Audio
5480 Whipple Ave NW
Canton, OH 44720
(right off of the Belden Village exit on Rt 77)


ADMISSION:
-can or bag of dog food, money, blankets, bowls, leashes, etc...they're not picky. This is NOT mandatory, but it is HIGHLY appreciated. There aren't any armed guards chasing you down if you don't bring anything, but please do what you can...a little goes a long way.

DESCRIPTION/TENTATIVE SCHEDULE (times subject to change):

10am- 12pm Noon
-Poker Run: 10am to NOON. (Free to enter, and we should have goodie bags from Summit for participants)
*starts at Horizon Audio, eventually returning there.
*open to all vehicles

12pm Noon- 7pm?

-DJ (with good music for once)

-Cruise-In/Ohio Hondas Spring Meet: This is a hang-out type environment like any other meet before it, where everyone can come and not be hassled...so please don't ruin it by the following: BURN-OUTS, FIGHTS, DRUGS, DRINKING, BOUNCING OFF THE REV LIMITER, ETC. I apologize if you can't go without drinking for the better half of a day, but if you can't, please don't come.

-2WD & AWD Dyno provided by SlowMotion Motorsports (BIG thanks to Joe & Marty!) $40 for 3 runs for 2WD, $65 for AWD.

-Motorcycle Dyno - Provided by Horizon Audio, $20 a run.

-Food stands (details will be updated eventually)

-Manufacturers (Audio & Performance) are in the works...

INVITED:

-OhioHondas
-All other imports
-Domestics
-Bikes
*all groups will be partitioned off tentatively...

To reiterate, there is never a concrete idea/location for a Spring Meet, so we figured if we could get more than the usual 20-30 cars that usually show up (i.e. other cars too), we could get a little bit more out of the event, and at the same time provide a spot for the OH Spring Meet. Two birds...onestone. As you can see, there is pretty much something for everyone. There are restaurants and mall shopping within walking distance, or a 1 minute car ride at most for signifcant others that don't want to do the car thing all day. Also, a buddy of mine and I are getting tuned on Sunday, and if you want a private tune, there might be time for 1 or 2 other tunes at my house on sunday afternoon (in N. Canton) by SlowMo...I will find out, this is for a full tune, not $40 dyno runs. Any questions that you don't want up here, email DynoDayForDogs@gmail.com. Look forward to seeing everyone that can make it!

[timot_one]

I should be in for most of these as long as I have the extra cash for the events that cost money. 

[Accord Euro-R]

I am def in for the Dyno Day in Canton and would love to get my car out to the track.  Ryan, remind me, which one of these tracks is the 1/8 mile and which one is the 1/4 mile?

[ryans7thgen]

National Trails is 1/4mile and Nelson Ledges is about 2.1 miles.

[JohnnyG123]

I'm definately in for the ohio hondas spring meet on may 14. I'll be in canton for a few weeks in may visiting the family.

[Accord Euro-R]

Ugh....looks like the meet on Friday will be getting rained out    Stupid FAILhio weather.  I am definitely planning on the OhioHonda's meet next month though, hopefully by then the weather will have improved!

[timot_one]

I'm not able to make it to the meet this weekend because I'm going to MI to visit my parents for Easter.  I will be at the OHPOC meet on the 7th, but can't make it to the dyno day on the 14th.

[ryans7thgen]

Sadly I will not be making it to the Ohio Hondas meet.  I got a promotion at work and have to work Sat.  Luckily they let me have the 7th off so I can go to the OHPOC meet.  Gotta be there for my boys(and girls.)  Hope some of you can make it to that meet.
