Pacific Coast Big Meet Event.

[Bass Man]

It's been tossed around for a while on different threads, so it may be time to create a new thread just for this.

There are a lot of folks in SoCal and a lot of folks in Washington, and I was thinking a pretty central location for all of us to meet is Medford, Oregon.

3Geez West Coast Meet

WHEN: July 16th - 18th.
WHERE: Medford, Oregon... Champion Raceway Friday, Saturday T.B.D.

I know Medford very well, beings I'm only 15 minutes away, but there is a nice Slick-Kart track AND arcade. They have a rock-wall, a cafe, and lots of arcade games. It's not very hard to get to, but kinda hard to find (BRING DIRECTIONS... And spare directions. lol). I don't know what they charge because it's been about 7 years since I was there last, but I remember it was pretty cool. The biggest name in Suzuki aftermarket parts is right next door and I visit often, so I wont get us lost... lol

Friday night, there are legal "Street" drags at the Champion Raceway. It's $25 for the night for racers, and $10 per adult to spectate (kids under 10 are free). Test and Tune starts at 5PM, RACING starts at 6PM. If you are good enough and there are enough people that night, you might expect to be there till 11. There are lots of bars, lots of clubs, and even 2 18+ clubs in town, and since I'll be 20 next summer, I wont attend any drinking, but I am know for being the best taxi at my parents parties (New Years is CRAZY! My parents know how to party.)

The weekend and week AFTER July 4th, I will be at the Rubicon, so if we can do something after, it would be great. Before the 4th, I might be busy with 4x4 rigs, but I'll swing in a Meet.

1-18 Update: We are still debating on what to do Saturday.

The Portland thread is a little misleading and getting kinda long.

[dacantu]

Oh and If it could go any farther south I would vote in the poll, but i'll just let everyone whos closer decide where to meet. Any farther north though would put alot of so-cal people out of the question.

If we can show everyone on the east coast how to organize a huge meet with the whole west coast that would be pretty sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet!

[itzdave]

lol, thats a little too far south for me... over 8hrs.

[charliekuney]

lol, thats a little too far south for me... over 8hrs.

[Rendon LX-i]

x3 lol...its 3 1/2 just to get to portland...BUT like i said well see whos all attending and what not

[dacantu]

come on guys!

its 15+ hours for me n im still going to drive the ol' gal up there...

think about how nice the weather will be

like i said though ill leave the decision up to everyone who is closer ultimately.. its easier to relocate one person (me) than it is to relocate a bunch of you guys

[Bass Man]

It's exactly 6 hours and 35 minutes from Seattle (around 5 if you drive like me) and it's exactly 6 hours and 26 minutes from San Jose. I was just guessing earlier, but that is pretty damn close to the middle of the members.

[Rendon LX-i]

shit.....

And those look like back roads

WHEN: Saturday November 14, 2009 Don't know when.
WHERE: Lake City Dick's Medford pretty central, but still don't know
TIME: 1200 until whenever It's 6:55 right now.

BRING: A fully charged digital camera. A couple bucks for racing Friday night, a motel, burger funds (We got cheap fast food(comparitivly) around here) and slick-kart/arcade Saturday.

WHO: So far just me, but like I say, it's WAY too early to make this list.

and then edit the first post also when someone says yes or no.... just apdate it.

That's why I haven't done anything like that, yet. Maybe I'll put up some info.

[Bass Man]

shit.....

http://www.mapquest.com/maps?1c=Sela...=Medford&2s=OR

And those look like back roads

When I was about 7 or 8, Brotherton was doing a lot of work in Spokane and my dad was the Semi driver at the time, so we would go I-5 till somewhere (don't really remember) and shoot over to the Dalles, then north. That looks like the long (and cold) way to go.

That sure is a long way to go on a Turbo. Why don't you help Charlie with gas and ride with him?? LOL

[Rendon LX-i]

I would rather go to portland then down.

it would be the same time amount basicly.

Selah wa, to Portland is 3 hours the way i drive. says 3hr an 15 min.

And from portland to medford is 4hr and 35min. so bout the same time.

[dacantu]

uh yeah......


and yeah bass man im just saying if it starts picking up and people seem to be interested thats the format i noticed seemed to work with the other thread

either way im in no matter where it is!

[Rendon LX-i]

A alot of cars are turbo these days. my shit dont spool till 4k anyway on a heavy load. So its like driving stock. I would bring all my tools .BUT i rather have it up by portland or something. IDK guys .....like i said well see

Idk if charile would like me talking spanish to him the whole time

[Bass Man]

1055 miles each way?! You're crazy!! lol

This wouldn't be the next meet, but it can be the big meet of the year.

I could probably make a Portland meet sometime soon. Where was the Dyno at?? I'd like to make it to one of those.

The dyno was in Beaverton. Map

[2ndGenGuy]

Only way I'm driving to Medford, is if someone from San Fransisco commits to coming up.

What the hell is in Medford anyways? Isn't it like a small backwoods town or something?

[Xybris]

Up here we call it "Methford"

[Bass Man]

Unfortunately, yes... There was a Meth problem, but they got most of it under control. Heroine is the new thing these days. MUCH better...

Like I mentioned in this thread and the pic thread, there are Legal "Street drags" on Friday nights, and there is a Slick-Kart track and arcade. I don't know if there is anything like that within 300 miles, so this is a good spot for a WHOLE west coast meet.

[Xybris]

Well we got meth here too. It explains why my CDs got stolen in the age of torrents and iPods. I'm not in the position to commit to the meet, but if I could I would.

[jg09]

lol, thats a little too far south for me... over 8hrs.

idk, i MIGHT go. Mapquest says:

Total Travel Estimates: 9 hours 32 minutes / 561.58 miles

It'll take me quite a while to get the money to go, but if my gf and i can save up enough money for next year's recreation fund, I'm down for it

[Bass Man]

Yea, I got wicked skills in the auto area, so if anything happens to "break", more than likely we can get it running.

I bought a complete 88 A3 motor for $400 with 108k on it.
I also got access to a complete fab shop, so most custom stuff is fixable.

[Xybris]

Total Travel Estimates: 9 hours 32 minutes / 561.58 miles

I did a trip that distance a few days after the Portland meet. On paper it seemed easy but five months later I still have no urge to do it again. Had to drive the entire distance back cuz the [ex] gf was sleeping off a hangover the entire time. Warped rotors + freeway speed + 9 hours = FML

[Rendon LX-i]

Well im with john on this one. Im down as long if some of the cali guys going. ill bring my tools and ill meet john in portland and well roll it out YO. If anything happens. he got my back. But as far as running my car Is a NO since i do want to make it back home LOL
