Official California, Oregon, Washington, Arizona Meet!

[MarioBurke]

Oh its a meet baby! Its a big one!!

This is the official meet for all of California, Oregon, Washington, and Arizona. The date WILL BE April 16-18. This is the weekend of Kool April Nites Car show. The show starts April 14 and goes until the 18th. For those of you unfortunate ones that do not already have the 2004 STUFF, FHM, or MAXIM calenders (I have all three) April 16 - 18 is a friday saturday and sunday.

This is probably the biggest and coolest event of the year, and as we were discussing during our mini meet, why not get everybody to come down and represent. Unfortunately only cars that are like 78' and older can enter the show, but that doesnt stop us from taking a million parking spots to take pictures. when the Cruz is 'officially' over other cars are allowed to join in the circle. If remember correctly I believe Kool April Nites also marks the official opening of street legal drags, so we should also be able to train on over to the drag strips and show what old school rice is made of!!

Now that an Official Date is set I will accept no excuses :D You have 5 months to get time off work, save money, and plan your trip. Our meet last weekend was a lot of fun and I would expect only for this meet to be 5 times better.

And yes I have to save money too, because I told Justin and Matt, that if everybody came down, I would buy all the meet and everything for the BBQ!! :omg: I dont know what I was thinking when i said that!

if you have any more questions, you can contact me.

5 months and counting! lets make it happen

Where are we gonna stay?

[kicker1_solo]

I'll have to see what's going on in April, glad you gave me 5 months, that might be enough time to schedule you guys in. :D

[MarioBurke]

yeah hope you can fit us in your tight schedule Adrew. hahaha, well it should be a good one. the KEY here is its a 3GEE meet. so please keep that in mind. there is gonna be enough rice here for everybody.

[shane_lxi]

Hmmm, my friend has family down there, I might go. It will be a 7 hour trip atleast though, we will prolly end up staying the night in the wal-mart parking lot, but I will try to make it.

PS: I will have kicker's car by then, and when I hook up the cold air intake, I'll be ready to take some of you on! :)

shut up!, all previous 3 gee owners are welcome!! thank you much. we actually have less than 4 month to go though. Im already excited. ahh yes this reminds me of a great quote.

"you know your a 3 gee lover when you start planning a meet for 6 months later." hahaha

[kicker1_solo]

And where might us out of towners stay for the night? I wouldn't mind a motel, but if you have other arrangements I wouldn't mind saving $50.

[B16 ED9]

um, do the people at the drag strips do inspections on vehicles that are going to be running???? cause, um, ya, my radiator is being held up by weadeater wire right now and my battery being held down by a bungee cord.

i'll think about coming to this, i've always wanted to make a road trip down to cali. we'll see how it goes, and i'll talk to my friends and see if they wanna do a road trip.

[MarioBurke]

Well Kicker right now we are having a little difficulty, for reasons we dont need to explain right now, but like i said we have 4 months so we or I shall have a new place to live and everyone is more than welcome to sleep on floors and what not. lol i dont know if we will have any furniture or not but oh well. it leaves plenty of floor space.

Yes they do inspect the cars at the track, but im not sure exactly what they look for other than you have all caps and hoses tired. battery is secure. windows and door locks work. headlights and tail lights, brakes, and basic stuff like that. hide the zip ties or something. or get a new bracket. we have the junk yard down here that sells parts real cheap if worse comes to worse.

[MIK3]

Hey Danny, good luck man. It's about an 18 hour drive, haha!

[kicker1_solo]

I shall have a new place to live and everyone is more than welcome to sleep on floors and what not. lol i dont know if we will have any furniture or not but oh well. it leaves plenty of floor space.

that's cool dude, hell, I'd sleep in my car as long as I knew I was in a safe neighborhood lol

[BITESIZE]

Only about 8 hours away........very tempting.............thinking.................only about 6 hours the way I drive............mmmmm..... :cheers:

[[[25 mpg/ 564 miles=22.5 gallons x $1.65= ((($38.00 x ((2 (round trip)))=$76.00+food+lodging+dinking around cash= ($300)= hell yeah!!!I'm there!!!!!!!!]]] + [[[being with all the 3geez guys]]]= priceless!

[MIK3]

Haha. Whoa, that is some crazy calculations you have going there BITESIZE, haha.

[BITESIZE]

I'm seriously thinking about it. It would be a fun road trip!

[MarioBurke]

Hell yeah sleeping in your car is the best way to go. that way if someone is breaking in you know wtf is going on and you can take them by surprise.

Bitesize, where are you from? Terry and I just did the trip from here to Washington, its not all that bad of a drive. it was a good 7 or 8 hour drive, but we were going slow for the most part. and we did it in two seperate cars. lol. it should be one sweet event and twice as good if tons a 3 gee lovin members show up.

[BITESIZE]

I am in Boise.

[MarioBurke]

thats not too bad

[goldyaccord]

hmm... April. I can go provided it doesn't mess with my schooling schedule.
I have lots of family up there in Cali. I don't see why i wouldn't beable to go.

Danny, You have school right? How can you go up there and then get back in time for school!!!!!? :bs: :D

[BITESIZE]

Oh, yah, I hope spring break is that week, school migh interfere a little.

[Busted_Blue]

i'll try to make it. it would be fun to go with more than 2 3geez up :D

[Justin86]

PS: I will have kicker's car by then, and when I hook up the cold air intake, I'll be ready to take some of you on! :)

Hey don't forget I will be there too! Oh wait no ones knows about my car! SLEEPER :D

For us that have school the car show is held during spring break. Now some schools and states hold spring break at different times but that is why the meet is on the weekend. :bow:

[BITESIZE]

shane_lxi, is that a promise?

[Mystic1]

I better start planning. I'll do my best to be there too. Its only about a 5 hour trip for me so I don't have that many excuses not to.

BTW, NXracer, Redding is more like 2 or 3 hours from the CA/OR border. And thats holding 75/80 most of the way. I come over HW199 to Grants Pass and south on I-5 to get there when I visit family so I have an idea of what it will take.

[MattsAccord]

It's not 2 or 3 hour to Redding from the border. It takes about 2 hours and 15 mins. to get from Medford, Oregon to Redding and Medford in 35 mile north or California.

[Mystic1]

Well thats darn close to 2 hours :cool2: rember, I'm holding 75/80. I must have been thinking from Grants Pass to Redding. Thats where I have to change HW's and where I make a food and gas stop (every thing is cheaper in OR (luck Ba****ds)j/k).

[BITESIZE]

So just how many people are going to show up?

[Justin86]

Mystic1 couldn't you just go down to Arcata and take 299 to Redding? If you do go through Grants Pass we should meet up since I live right off 199 just outside of GP.

[BITESIZE]

mmmm....that's what i should do. Meet up with some of you guys just to be safe and I would make it there better.

[Justin86]

Yea it take me about 2 1/2 hours from Grants Pass doing about 70mph. Having no sales tax does kick ass but now gas in Cali is cheaper even with the tax then in Southern Oregon. Bitesize you could meet up in Medford but that just mean more driving for you.

[BITESIZE]

Boise-Medford=484
Boise-Redding=529
Medford-redding=152

484+152=636


I don't about Meeting in Medford, that means about 100 miles more. :help:

[Justin86]

Yea so it looks like you will be going all by your self. :sadwave:

[BITESIZE]

Na, Maybe Vern (88LXI) (only lives 5 miles from me, will go with me in his white hatch.

[MattsAccord]

Bitesize if you wnated to come down a day before or something you could probley stay at my house then Justin, you and me could do something that night around here. I don't know if that helps any but just offering.

[BITESIZE]

86 accord in C.P. , I might take you up on that offer. That sounds like a good plan.

[MarioBurke]

I am liking all this interest in the meet. Since the meet is in spring time the roads will be nice and clear. it takes a little less then two hours to get from redding to medford when the roads are in good driveable condition. the only reason it takes 2 hours or more is when it is raining.

I wanna see ATLEAST 15 cars (3Geez), if not more. Its getting closer and closer already. with only a couple days left in december we have a little under four months. but still plenty of time to save and make plans.

I dont remember who said it, but unless you are FROM Arcata or that general area, dont take 299 to redding, because that is a 3 and 1/2 hour drive by itself.

[T's87lx]

I wanna see 40+ cars damnit...that would be nice 15 would be sweet to

[BITESIZE]

[MarioBurke]

your WAY off! OWNED!~

[NXRacer]

well i hope to go. i'll have my car running by then (almost had the motor tonight if the stupid radiator was out).

My car may even be "not stock" if you get what i'm talking about......... :D

[Justin86]

I brought up the 299. I've never taken that road but on the map it dosen't look to bad or long compared to going through Grants Pass.

[B16 ED9]

well, i was talkin to one of my friends to see if he would wanna go on a road trip down to cali for a week. but i dont know about him, but i wanna go and bring my crx down. we'll see how things go

[Busted_Blue]

interesting...how long is it from sf to redding...a good 4hrs?

[kicker1_solo]

your WAY off! OWNED!~
ha, I got that from mapquest


i wanna go and bring my crx down. we'll see how things go
if you do go I'll have to meet up with you and we can cruise down together.

[Mystic1]

Mystic1 couldn't you just go down to Arcata and take 299 to Redding? If you do go through Grants Pass we should meet up since I live right off 199 just outside of GP.

I could but I find that 199 is better maintaind then 299 alowing a little more speed. I checked with mapquest and it says that Crescent City to Redding with 299 is 206 miles and aproximatly 3.48 hours. While taking 199 is 262 miles and 3.8 hours driving time. I would be adding only about 10 minutes but 54 mile. Better road but more miles. Also, I just like I-5. Higher speed limit :cool2:

[Mystic1]

On second thought mapquest said that it is an hour from here to Arcada, but I usualy do it in about 40 minutes....
... ..on the other hand a line of 3gees from GP to Redding on I5 would be cool
...ok, my brain hurts now

[Justin86]

Yea i have never taken 299 but on the map it looks quicker. We are going to have to meet up somewhere.

[MarioBurke]

its definately not shorter I can tell you thaat.

[Justin86]

So what will be some of the activities for the meet. I was thinking that going to lake shasta would be sweet. There is a lot of hotties there.

[MarioBurke]

well we wont really have time to go to the lake. besides with Kool april nites around all the hotties should be on the street corners. i thinking if the police are gonna be swinging the street during this event, we might be able to go up to whiskey town again and get some side by side slalom going.

[Justin86]

Yea that would be pretty sweet too.

[DigitaLuminescence]

Olympia, WA reprazentin' yo!
I'll be sure to get deported back into the US for the event. Dayam, this'll be my first true meet, I'm psyched... if I'm allowed to go. Mario, you okay with a stranger comin' down?
Yo, Mike (a.k.a. Mike89Accordcom), you gonna be down for this?

[MarioBurke]

The more people down here the better it will be!

[MattsAccord]

If you guys from Washington come down here you will be King in my book.

[DigitaLuminescence]

It'll be nice to take a trip to Cali, I'll be sure to get a chunk of time off from university.
I'll bring down as many 3rd gens from my area as I can to the meet.

[MattsAccord]

Sweet I'm getting your crown ready.

[B16 ED9]

hmm, maybe by then, i'll have a job, and i can take time off and come down there and get me an ek :cheers:

[Mystic1]

Thats something I forgot. If I come down I'll need a floor to crash on, or at least a driveway to park the 3gee while I sleep in it.

[MattsAccord]

WAL-MART anyone?

[87AccordsterLx]

Let me know how you guys want to handle this thread. If you want to make another thread with the specifics I can close this one and make the new one sticky. If you want I can just make this one sticky as well. I haven't read through the entire thing so I don't know if this meet is going through or not.

[Justin86]

well we need to keep this one for discussion but we could make a sticky for everyone to sign up and to have the info on the meet, something simple.

[Mystic1]

WAL-MART anyone?
If theres enough of us there that would be cool. No one would mess with a whole groupe of people.

[Justin86]

If theres enough of us there that would be cool. No one would mess with a whole groupe of people.
Esp with me there cause I'm the crazy guy in the blue accord! :chainsaw:

[Mystic1]

Sounds like a plan then. Lets see: gotta get new tires and track down my voltage leak then I'm set. I have a good job offer but I will be able to put that off untill after the meet. If I take it now I won't be able to go.

[Festo]

ok This sounds like fun. I have the money for it all. And it might get in the way of school. Ill check it out soon. but hell yea count me in and maybe some friends.

[Festo]

Tulare, CA 93274 US
Redding, CA US
Total Est. Time: 6 hours, 15 minutes Total Est. Distance: 380.29 miles

[Justin86]

Well I check my date for school and are spring break is March 19-April 11, since we only have a 3 week break in between terms. :down: Hopefuly I can schedual my clases so I don't have a friday class or at least one on the morning so I can still make all three days and it will only be the start of the term so there shouldn't be to much work. :dunno:

[1hot89accord]

im in sacramento and i will be therem by that time i should have a lot of what i want done to my car done, ill be ready to represent for the 3geez :cheers:

[Justin86]

Ok since this thread got a little lost I made an ew thread that is ONLY for a sign up and the details of what will be happening at the meet.... http://www.3geez.com/showthread.php?t=28863
