Possible big east coast meet???

**guaynabo89** · 09-09-2009, 08:07 PM

Wasup guys, a couple of members here have been throwing around the idea of a big east coast meet for a while now. Since noones really made a thread about it I figure we could discuss here to see if we could get something going.

My thoughts on the subject is this:

Location somewhere central like the Carolinas. (north south or south north carolina)

time....I think if not all meet up on a friday maybe Sat. Set up a hotel stay somewhere.

I think maybe shooting for late April early May to make sure snow is not an issue and summer heat hasnt officially kicked in.

HAve some sort of track event whether it be a dragway or autocross.

No Bull! Good clean fun for the amount of time we would be there. ( no drugs breaking things or acting like fools enough to get police attention)

Try and scope out any good photo locations.

I was hoping of this being something alot of us could get into. Even the Canada guys. all the way up from new england down to FL and whoever slightly west could make it.

Either way Im tired right now...... so discuss

*EDIT 01/18/2010*

Heres the tentative plan so far.

May 20th Thurs.: Check in at hotels, test and tune at http://www.dunnbensondragstrip.com/
May 21st Friday: Adventureland Raleigh, Go Karting, Laser tag, minigolf, etc. Lots of options for nightlife, etc for those of us that are old enough.
May 22nd Saturday: Meet at the park. BBQ, photo Shoots, fun stuff.
may 23rd Sunday: Brunch, checkout, say goodbye to your Flippin' Buddies.

*EDIT 01/18/2010*

*EDIT 01/21/2010*

There is now a official meet thread. It can be found here:

All updates will be posted there,

100% up for it. Spring semester usually ends halfway through May for me so the later couple weeks would be win.

Darlington hosts quite a few things but we are probably too small. I have been to the VW bug meets there with drags, swap meets, etc..

How hot is the weather in early May? If I'm going to make such a long trip, might as well enjoy the beach

The Carolina summers are mildish. If you go to the beach in May the water is cold. I usually go in late June / early July and the ocean is still in the sixties.

**mushroom_toy** · 09-10-2009, 06:30 AM

Im in for sure.

**guaynabo89** · 09-10-2009, 07:03 AM

I think the weather shold be in the low-mid eighties by then. The water will be freezing though.

That's something we could research though.

***2oodoor*** · 09-10-2009, 08:36 AM

Ive been to Mrytle Beach in April (Master's golf week in Augusta)second week and it has been warm, other times too cold.
I do not get in the ocean much anyway, they have pools and jacuzzis closer to the bar.

Rates are still down then too, something else to consider maybe.

**mushroom_toy** · 09-10-2009, 09:12 AM

I really cant wait....i will be 5spd swapped, rebuilt, turboed, and hopefully repainted and reupholstered by then.

**stat1K** · 09-10-2009, 11:48 AM

count me in since i'm in the Charlotte Area now.

i'll come just to take photos, no 3g for me anymore :-\...

**RobT5580** · 09-10-2009, 12:30 PM

I would consider plus my brother is in NC and Carotman the beaches down south are much nicer than New Jersey LOL.

**King Peetis** · 09-10-2009, 04:39 PM

I have a buddy with a beach house in Charleston SC that he will rent to me for 200.00 a day. It will sleep about 8 comfortably. That would give us some ability to stretch out and especially at night. He's cool but Im with Guaynabo, this will have to be good "clean" fun.

**88LXi68** · 10-27-2009, 08:23 AM

bump...don't feed rob any beers if you want good clean fun

**FAYDOGG1988** · 10-28-2009, 07:15 PM

Count me in!!!!

**guaynabo89** · 10-28-2009, 07:21 PM

lol

Well spit out some ideas guys.

Location Location Location.......where could this be done that we can do something other than sit in a parking lot or park.

***2ndGenGuy*** · 10-28-2009, 07:25 PM

Better make it good, there's another PNW meet brewing!!

**88LXi68** · 10-29-2009, 06:41 AM

memorial day weekend sounds good...is there any holiday in Canada during that time?

location - NC or Virginia would be good, but not sure what is around there

We have Victoria Day in Canada

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Victoria_Day

They aren't the same unfortunately

Victoria day will be on may 24th this year. I think your Memorial day will be on may 31st.

**guaynabo89** · 10-29-2009, 09:09 AM

Hows the weather going to be around that time in Va or NC?

I don't want to be passing out from heat.lol

what about early May? First week or so? I know memorial day would be good cause most of us already have off, but traffic migh be an issue.

also how many days should we make it?

3 or 4 day weekend?

the way I see it is that most of us will spend a day just driving to and from (figuring about 10 hrs or so driving each way) that would only leave us with one day for events and probably a 2 night hotel stay unless we go for a 4 day.

once we get location time activities set then were all going to have to inform our jobs to get those days aproved and of course let ur families/significant others know so they can make arragements. I myself would be bringing my family ala import alliance.

**russiankid** · 10-31-2009, 09:18 AM

I may be in. By then I'll have 200k on the car and well taking it on a such long trip haha....

***2drSE-i*** · 10-31-2009, 10:01 AM

Amy and I are talking it over. I think we will be in :-) We are gonna make it a couple day trip though, forget 19 hours all at once :-(

***2drSE-i*** · 10-31-2009, 10:05 AM

If i may add input, i think 4 days would be ideal. ImportAlliance was kind of a drag because by the time we got there (Late friday) it was nighty night time, so we had saturday, and then we left sunday. That was kind of my mistake, but at least two full days would be great! But if I'm coming, Kansas/Nebraska and everyone in between had better come!

**cubert** · 10-31-2009, 11:12 AM

1000 miles and 15+ hours, for now I will say I am out...
