The Official 2005 Tri-State Tuners Super Meet Thread

[TROLL]

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!

[TROLL]

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...

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.

[Vypurr]

June works for me!

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

[teh DIRT]

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

[Vypurr]

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

FIRST - Find a willing place which is large enough.

[TROLL]

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'.

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

[criz]

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

[Vypurr]

Traffic in June though....

[MuddyREX]

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.

[Vypurr]

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.

[the mike]

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.

[jigga_x]

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.

[Vypurr]

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

[impreza_rs_2004]

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

[impreza_rs_2004]

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

[Vypurr]

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

[jigga_x]

Vypurr,
