The Official 2005 Tri-State Tuners Super Meet Thread
 

Ok, so there has been a lot of talk about having a BIG meet in the spring/summer for ALL cars somewhere in the area. Last summer there was a WRX meet with about 100 cars and also an SRT meet with about 80 cars. With that said, there is a lot of potential for a meet with all cars. I just wanted to open a thread where everyone could throw out ideas to start heading in a direction with this.

So, first we need to find a place to do this. We should find somewhere that can accomodate 200+ cars on a weekend sometime around april/may/june. The problem that exists here is that if we are going to a desireable place, it may very well already have plenty of cars in it occupying the lot. We also will most likely need permission to have the meet. We were discussing a public park, or possibly renting out Atco/Englishtown. If we go with a park it will need a big lot, and will need to be in a spot that doesnt really fill up with other cars. BBQs, bathrooms, and fields to play some ultimate frisbee or whatever else are good too. If we go to Atco/Englishtown then there will be substantial cost involved with that, but definitely possible to cover with a maximum $10 per car fee.

Second, we need to pick a tentative date. Early spring? Late spring? Summer? Any dates we should definitely avoid? Thats all up to the group...

Third, what else do I need to be planning? What havent I thought of?

Ok, lets get the ideas flowing, and please stay on topic here...

Well there is a MAJOR SRT meet being planned for Memorial Day in NY, so I would say not to have it in the month of May because many SRT owners may not be able to get off another day that month.

Also, I would have it on a sunday, that seems to work best.

I will help you with any planning needed. I am very good at this stuff!

ok great, if its going to be as big as i'm thinking we'll need a few people putting it together. so are you thinking april or june then? and i agree about doing it on a sunday...
bryan

i think june would be great. all the youngins like me will be outa school so that wont interfere with anything. Even though you are having it on a sunday, college kids need to study (cram on sunday before the monday test). I suggest June 18th.....two days after me b-day.

June works for me!

I want to find sponsors though! Maybe have some raffles? Help defer our costs?

we will most definitly have things like that. 50/50's, raffles, and hopefully we will be able to get some shops to come out. we have plenty of time

Yeh. So lets start the planning now, and shoot for June.

FIRST - Find a willing place which is large enough.

ok so what we need to do now is find a good location. if anyone reading this has any ideas please suggest them. are you guys still thinking that ETown would be a good spot, or do you have any ideas on a park somewhere? we should try to keep the location relatively halfway between NYC and Philly just so its somewhat central to the 'tristate'.
bryan

ill try to find a list of all state parks in that area & see what i can find.

maybe we can find a park by a beach or something?

it'd be cool to mix a meet up with the shore!

count me in on the comitee

Traffic in June though.... :rolleyes:

Traffic in June going to the Jersey shore on the weekend is horrible. I think that we might be able to get Phila Park Racetrack's permission. It is a huge lot that some of you already know.

Toyota, Jeep, Mazda, and I think Mercedes have manufacturer test drive shows there.

I also know of another fairground/park where there is a corvette show every year. They have probably 200-300 vette's there, and then there are probably another 300-400 cars parked looking at the vettes!

It is in Penns Park, which is Right next to Richboro/New Hope/Peddler's Village.

I will see if I can find any info on this park.

I think we would need to be closer to North Jersey. Kind of in the middle of our area.
I would love to get a huge meet together though.
Maybe E-town? Get some racing done at the same time. I should be ready to run hard by then.

E-Town sounds good...I'm down to help plan. June sounds good, maybe the last Sunday in June.

Vypurr,
Did u talk to Ray or Psi Fi yet about coming out? Also Forward Motion in Delaware. They might have days that aren't good for them.

I will ask them both, but things have been pretty heated between them lately!

I'm in
 

Might have some other rides tag along if thats ok. The only thing is I'm out for this May getting married. :partyman:. I could also look around CT if there are any spots to hold 200 to 300 cars if you want me to. :supz:

almost forgot
 

Just watch my Avatar bounce it's mezmerizing isn't it :banana:

I can't stop looking. I think I have been watching it for 10 min!

bouncy bouncy bouncy...i forgot where i was for a minute...

Vypurr,
wat are they arguing bout now!? the AGP vs Psi-Fi thing is gettin old!!!
