Possible big east coast meet???

[cubert]

OK would be a completely hanus drive for me, and i'm guessing the same for Steve, Rob, Alan, and all the NJ guys. Ohio is not out of the question, and VA and NC are both options (still talking about 10-12 hrs for the NewEngland'ers).

I highly doubt my car will be driveable by then, but it's yet another goal to try and meet (yet completely miss). I'll try my damndest to get out there where-ever it is, but gettign the time off could be difficult seeing as I'm going to have to find a new job come the new year seeing as we're closing our doors at the end of the year.

Yea..Oklahoma city is 26 hours worth of driving for me..


Sucks about the job Mark, hope you find a new job quick.

and i figured itd be way far for most people, and the convinience for us here in the central us (all three of us) would kinda be outweighed by the inconvenience for everyone else. besides, i doubt anyone from the west coast would show anyway. im down for NC or OH

got your text adam...

I like the idea of OK because it is a central location. cons - obviously a long drive for many

Ohio - maybe we can do it at the Marysville Ohio Honda Plant? can we schedule a tour or something? Is there a museum? cons - doubt many from the south would come

NC or VA - they are a wash. both are reasonable distances and the activities available at each seem good.


I drove 17hrs straight for IA in TN. If I could trailer the car, I would go pretty much anywhere.

I say NC or SC lol cause I dont get vacation time till late June, so Id have to make this a weekend deal.

The Ohio Honda Plant would be awesome. I bet they would get a kick out of seeing a bunch of the first (honda) cars to be built in America and shipped to japan! (or they wouldn't really care..)

Lame...

[guaynabo89]

Damn Ohio!

You guys are kiling me. That would be like an 18 hr drive for me.

I still think NC VA would be the place being that would put it at about 12 hrs or less for everyon but Adam n Carrot.


Oh cmon Steve. Just take it easy. Anything over 65 mph and your just losing mpg's anyway.

Besides I have to take 2 cars and stop every 45 min for pea brakes.

[2drSE-i]

I know i talked to a few of you about The Tail of the Dragon in NC. It would be cool, but it would only provide us about 30 mins (down and back....) and there is NOTHING anywhere near.

Can we narrow this down to Northern NC/Southern VA? I think this is pretty central for everyone, and will limit our city selection

[guaynabo89]

sure why not. I have no problem with that.

Wish I knew someone into the automotive scene out that way to see if there were any preferred parks or activities.

[mushroom_toy]

The dragon is between tenn/nc

[markmdz89hatch]

so Adam the only question that begs to be asked is how you got to coordinating this all the way from Okie. Don't get me wrong, I'm not complaining and really look forward to putting a face to the name.... ...but seriously, it defines dedication when you're going to be driving from Okie to NC/VA for a meet. I'm loving this.

[guaynabo89]

He just couldnt get enough of us east coast boys at I.A.

Plus he wants a ride in the hatch.


All who attend will get a ride in the hatch. (not driving of course)

oh come one. I promise I'll be nice to it. ...Steve let me drive his and you can as him, I was very gentle on it. Right Steve?

Well shit now I have to go.
I still like Virginia Beach, but Myrtle is also a really nice coastal city that's not remote and has stuff to do. Hotels will be chilled out in the spring as well. FWIW, VA girls are hotter than SC girls. Just putting that out there.

[2drSE-i]

bump, in durant (pronounced doorant, but only if u live here) oklahoma. i just enjoy hangin out with 3gee guys =). and i just want to make sure we pick a spot so we can invite our flipped brethren. course the ride in the 300 whp hatch is appealing too =)

[88LXi68]

bump

[2drSE-i]

Im calling a track tomorrow about rental rates, but i have a feeling its still gonna be way expensive. Word on the bump tho....

[guaynabo89]

sorry i havent checked myself, but I've been busy with my family lately.



I would so LOOOoOOOOVE an autocross type event ( ala IA, I loved that even though there were cars in front) but 1/4 mile track prices are usually 20-30 bucks per car and more reasonable. Whatever you find Adam just post up prices n details. In the end we'll just mke a poll to see what people would be willing to spend.

the way I see it as of now The full weekend will probably cost us about 400 including gas n hotel stays. This is average of course. Some will pay a little more in gas cause of driving distance n some will pay alot less if they only stay one night and live a little closer.

um, WRONG definatley wrong...

Mrytle has a sweet go cart complex, fast carts and you can drive all day. Banked curves, rain or shine

[guaynabo89]

ok

If any one has idea please post a link to a website and or just maybe business name n address or phone number etc, so that all of us may look to see what activities we would all be up to. :thumbsup:

[2drSE-i]

Talked to the guy from the track today....WAY more than we could afford. 4 grand for one day. Maybe if there were 40+ of us going. Im down for anything. Should we maybe include the 1gteg and preludepower guys, see if they can come up with ideas?

[guaynabo89]

I say we figure out the location events then invite.

Thats not to say we cant ask members from other sites for ideas though.

you capish-ing what im saying.

[cubert]

Dammit..I gotta start saving my pennies.


Its bad enough I dont have the right car for the meet...but I refuse to show up in a stock car again...and I know this meet is gonna sneak up fast.

[2drSE-i]

yea it will.... Im gonna say myrtle beach will be too far south for most North easterners.

UGH why is this so hard

[markmdz89hatch]

because our country is pretty damn big and it's not like we're a Porsche or Ferrari club. We're just a bunch of regular Joe-Shmo's. ...and that's why I like it. ...but it does pose some issues when looking at organizing a country-wide(~ish) meet. I'm loving this idea.
