Okay, I need everybody to listen up!!! Please read very carefully what Im about to say! I dont really care where we have this meet, Im down for whatever, I do know this if we have the meet in NC then the next time we plan for this meet it will be moved to a location around the Va, DC area or if the meet is in DC area this time, it will be moved the next time to NC, I think thats only fair to everybody. I know everybody is going to be like, well I dont want to drive that far, but when I look at other forums, people dont have a problem or make excues about its to far and this and that! And they always switch it up. And I can be honest with most of you, The meet would not be directly in DC, for one there is no parking, the streets are nothing but pot holes and there to many traffic lights! When we say DC area, we mean surrounding DC not directly in DC for Example: Maryland (Montgomery or Prince Georges Counties) If we have it up here, I dont mind help organizing, or taking over the Organizing. I just need help trying to find a place holding alot of cars, I know L's TL can help me with that! I do have to Sponors that will help with the event, An Actual Acura Dealership and The shop I go to, to get my car worked on! Im sure I can get more, but Im just holding at 2 right now! The more we try to figure out where we going to have, the less more people will be interested. We need to hurry up and get to the bottom of this location deal and in a hurry! We are a bunch of adults, it doesnt take that long to come up with a location!

completely agree with the long post, if we set up this meet in one area, the next meet we can plan closer to the other area, everyone acts like this is a 1 time, end all meet which it's not

it wont be a a one time thing it actually turns out good the first time...but no ny/ct guys or southeast guys are really saying much about it...including me lol but its mostly just mid atlantic guys...i think it would be best to just pick a location either DC or NC depending on if anyone from those areas will take the lead and actually plan it out...seems like DC area guys are willing to plan it out so just go with DC unless NC guys step and say they will plan it out
im in TN and richmond alone is 9 hrs away so DC will be 10+ alone for me so imagine for the FL guys

i think that makes perfect since. and honestly to me i dont care how far i drive..its about our cars why not take a road trip caravaning with everyone on the highway. and next time we can do it closer to the ones who drove far this time..my friend mike drove frmo atlanta ga to maryland for maxus09 by himself..doesnt regret it one bit..we just need to pic the place and start planning so people can schedule around this and we have a good turnout!! and if you feel like its far just remember next year we all have to drive far and you wont!!
we should worry about planning the dates and getting a good turnout in a good location thats convinent and versus driving distance..if more people come the longer drive is more worth it but the longer we wait the harder for ppl to get off work and be able to make a trip out of it
not to mention people will have to book hotel rooms in advance to make sure there are availabilities

Seems like DC and NC are deadlocked. I'd be more than happy to organize something if NC was chosen. I live in Raleigh along with a few other guys on here. But I'm not gonna put in the effort to get sponsors and other stuff if the list of people coming is gonna be small.

^Agreed.
Him and I would have no problem with setting it up. Maybe open another poll on just NC and DC and see which way it goes. It looks to me that Virginia Beach is kind of out of the question now. If another one was opened, all of the people that voted for VA beach would be able to choose between the two choices and it may change the deadlock. Just my

^I could care less If it is in Maryland, DC, or North Carolina since I'm fortunate enough to be right in the middle of those locations being in Richmond, VA. Honestly I'm not worried about the drive to any of these locations but since Richmond and the surrounding area is dead-center inbetween these two locations why isn't anybody talking about a meet here? just makes sense since it really is smack-dab in the middle... just my but it really doesnt matter to me either way because I'm still going to drive wherever the meet is (NC, or Maryland) rain or shine as long as school allows!

If noone seems to care much about driving lets go ahead and decide where get a list of people going started. and get dates so we can get this ball on the road because if we wait to long it wont work and no one will be able to come

The meet should be some where sweet,like the new Zmax drag strip at lowes motor speed way Concord NC.The track is brand new and and has a huge parking lot,plenty of bathrooms,consessions,even a shuttle from the lot to the track
And if I remember correctly there's just about anything you need with in 10-15minutes,restraunts,hotels,stores,etc. Come on NC guys this would be a good place.

I agree about Richmond, just makes sense so that people on both ends are happy. Is there a good location there though?
Well so far, the date of Oct. 10-11th is winning in the date poll. Should we let that go a little longer before making a decision?

and i could care less where it is. i personally think we need to try and rent a drag strip of some sort so we can get some times in and make it more fun. and with enough people it will be cheap. and id say monday or so we do a new pole with the those 3 locations.

if anyone has a drag way in mind. you should call and try to speak someone about what were trying to do and see how possible that would be. or give me the names and i will do it. because if we call we might be able to use one and it would be easy to do so that would help our final decision about where if we have a drag strip thats willing to help us out

I did call,but I can not talk to a event cordinator till monday morning.I will call and find out some details.The person I did talk to said they could help me put any type of event together at any size.They can even help advertise.What kind of buget is the Azine meet prepared to shell out.Thats probally going to be the biggest factor.I will get alot of answers on monday.Such as group cost,cost per person.How much to rent the track for the day/by the hour.Or piggy back another event.
If there's any questions anyone can think of to ask,post them and I will call monday.
I'm just trying to add a share of help.

Isn't Maryland raceway where Maxus09 was? if so they are already down to allow groups like us to come use their facility and help make this thing more fun. If its the same one, you should find out on the org what it cost yall

Id love for this to happen at a track or someplace where we'd do something else other then eat.

aight guys, i'm tired of this going nowhere, somebody pick a place for the meet, to me, G-force carts in Richmond, VA is the obvious place to meet since it really is in the MIDDLE. i dont care where, someone make a decision so we can move forward. some people won't be able to make it but thats just how shit goes. theres always the next year for another location. PLEASE PICK SOMEWHERE TO MEET SO WE CAN MOVE ON.

I wanted to weigh in on this topic. Imao..we should really consider Maryland International Raceway! I think there's a better chance of getting sponsors to attend..they would probably help with promotion and there's plenty of room to make it a huge event! We would also have access to the track for time runs. Since Va. and MD. has a huge Honda and Acura population...people would come in droves if we kept it open. I know you guys wouldn't mind seeing some fast cars going down the track. We wouldn't have to worry so much about food because they have concessions. They have restrooms. You honestly can't beat this location! As an added bonus...if the event is a success...Maryland International Raceway might make this an annual event!!
Think it over people.

i feel like the farther north we go the more people will attend. the dc and new york guys dont wanna seem to drive to far and there is a track which would make it a REALLY fun weekend please call the tracks tomorrow cause whichever one helps the most we should go with. and we need a list of attendies so this thing gets going cause maxus09 had like 170 people and i dont see us having too many folks at the moment .

Sounds like we have some good options.
The track in NC looks awesome, the track in MD seems to be popular, and I'm up for some go karting if G-Force wins (plus thats a really central place)

I hate to rain on everybody's parade! But we all talked about this East coast meet at the VA beach meet, and we think that it would be best to try and have this meet next year around June or july, I think thats only fair to everybody since its short notice. Its already Aug, and we are trying to plan a huge meet in the next month or 2. I think thats a bit much. By next year, we should have date and a place, and plus everybody can get there days off or vaction to come up here or whatever the case maybe! What do yall think? I think we should do that instead of trying to rush this thing!

This shit is getting old... If you want this to be a "mega meet" then you need to take more than 2 months to plan and give everyone that wants to attend time to plan for it. If you want to rush it then so be it, but you will get 1/8th of the people that you would if you gave it a little time and didn't rush it.
In the mustang world, we have a yearly meet/get-together called Mustang week in Myrtle beach. It takes almost the whole year to organize this thing and we get people from all up and down the east coast and mid west. Had over 2000 cars in attendance and over 5000 spectators this year alone.
So if you want this to be a big deal and show the west coast what we are all about, then don't rush it. Otherwise they're just gonna laugh at us.
