I'm down..I live here! lol

Well thats why I offered haveing a meet in some place in the west like losvegas etc and then those that felt like coming to dport could and those that dont wanna travel that far dnt have too.. thatway everyone is happy

and also would suggest one for the east coast too

1) shadycrew31
2) Jen [maybe]
3) nemises
4) NEVERSTOP

Also we should start figuring out times that would work for both the smaller meets and the big one. I will talk to yoda sometime here and between the two of us can figure out details and decide on what would be good places to meet/check out etc

I am down for the run or vegas! I lost my license nov 6 for a year, but thats not stopping me from driving! >>

well were prolly not doing it in vegas. since people from the east coast would have to travel twice the mileage. the west coast people would drive like 15-20 its just not fair. thisi is a central all 6gc meet... so saddle up!. mad mods are you still down if its in davenport?.

1) shadycrew31
2) Jen [maybe]
3) nemises
4) NEVERSTOP
5) yota

i dont see 30 hours for the whole west coast being equal to as if someoen came from Orlando and New York City they are looking at about 17 hours or so

well its not 17 hours from ny trust me i have actually driven across the us. and getting out of ny takes at least an hour so yea j/k. haha. but again from philly where i grew up to denver is 2 days. its about a day and a half from philly to davenport and a day and a half from la to davenport. just for some reference. yes it may take a lil longer if your north or south on either coast... but dam guys how many of you would love to see some of those cars from all over that you always make comments on ? this is your perfect opurtunity!!. so come on this meet will be the meet of all meets.

1) shadycrew31
2) Jen [maybe]

7) pimped6gen

how about instead of people being selfish and stubborn we work together so this can actually work.... you know.. just a thought >>

Natalie - how about you organize the Vegas meet, which you seem pretty up to doing.

We need someone on the east coast to organize a meet also.. NE one interested??

We will need to find a time that is gonna work for the most people, also need to calculate driving time etc.

something like this is ONLY gonna work if we pull together and help each other.. otherwise it will be just another good Idea that never got off the ground.

I would suggest once we get someone willing to organize the east coast meet that we start 3 new topics.. one main one for the "LARGE" meet with links to two other topics one for the east and one for the west.

And make it clear in all 3 topics that if the person chooses they don't nessarly have to attend the large meet but can just go to one of the smaller ones.. then everyone is happy

How many hours from Chicago is Davenport?

little under three hours akimbo

So I've been thinking of some ideas to put forth into the meet while everyones here so that things don't get dull.. I came up with a few, let me know what you think....

1. We could have this car show here for our 6g's and anything else that would happen to come along with magazine coverage from Import Tuner or Super Street or something along those lines. It would be a great way to showcase our rides. Theres a tuning shop (if thats what you'd call it, right never? lol) called Automotive Innovations. They hold car shows and events all the time in the Summer. I could talk to the guys there and see if they'd be willing to sponsor a show for us. We could even have a couple of contests for the cars (best overall, cleanest, best sound, etc.) and maybe we could get some type of prize thing from Automotive Innovations. Even JC Whitney's main warehouse in only 30 minutes away, maybe they'd get involved...

2. We have a dragstrip that we could prolly run up to one day and throw down some times and have a good day running our Celicas.. I know not everyone's car is built for the track, but its an option. I also might be able to get access to a dyno....But I'm assuming that IF I could do it, there'd have to be a number of people interested in doing so...

3. If we go enough people to come, it would be really cool to get a group photo of all the celica's together and made into a poster for everyone? I think that'd be bada$$.


These are just some ideas, if you guys like them and want me to pursue them, I'd be more than happy to do so. If you also have any other ideas or additional input feel free to respond!

Never and I were talking and kicking some ideas around for this meet.

We came up with the idea that all of us meet here Davenport, have a car show one day, have a track day on another and so on. We also kicked around the thought of traveling up to Wisconsin for an American Le Mans weekend. Its an American Le Mans circuit stop at Elkhart Lake, Wisconsin. Its called the Road America 500. (RoadAmerica.com) Its a full weekend of racing with everything from open wheel Forumula cars, to BMW touring cars (if you read Sport Compact Car, they sponsor the team RTR Nissan Sentra. That was there last year), to GT touring cars, to even the real deal American Le Mans cars. Its a blast and you get to run around the pits whenever and buy souvenirs and all sorts of good stuff. Its a blast! If you guys are interested, let us know and we'll look into fitting that into the agenda. The weekend of the races are August 18-21. So we'd prolly meet in Davenport on like the 15th or so.

Any ideas/feedback/etc?

ok cool cool i was talkin to neverstop as well. i do belive the best plan would be. go to the track if theres enough intrest and instead of holding a car show we takes pics and stuff at the lemans weekend. having a track in the backround would be hella tight. or not maybe just a senic lil do dad place. but we need more people on our short list. anyway im so excited fo rthjis please get the word out about our east west meet.

Wow, I seriously hope all of this comes together.. because it sounds like it would be a GREAT time.

great??? It'll be SPLENDIFORUS!!!

is that a word ? haha oh this will come together it just might not be huge... so were gonna habe to get other generation's to fill in... WE DONT WANT THAT hahahah. so come on get the word out. lets make thjsi bad boy fly off the ground.

lol, I'm so excited I made up a word for it!

Just curious...Exactly what type of meet is this? Is it a Toyota exclusively meet or can other cars attend as well?

Come on guys, I agree, lets get this party started and get some more names added to the list!

yea lets get it started all ready.....i wanna gooooooooo

i say toyo only for this one!

Well, my only concern with a toyota exclusive meet would be the fact that maybe some would back out for simply lack of a traveling partner who might have a different car. Its pretty difficult to have a nation wide meet with only toyotas for this reason.

Anyone from the east or south wanna stepup and manage a mini meet for all of you to travel up to Davenport with?

1) shadycrew31
2) Jen [maybe]
3) nemises
4) NEVERSTOP
5) yota
6) playr158
7) pimped6gen
8) Doge [west coast]

I'd do the long meet but I'm not gonna put 3 days worth of miles on the celi... I would feel like i was abusing her! >>

Doge,

It'll be worth it, I promise! Its gonna be a great time!

>> we got some stuff planned for you guys >>

where still getting a few things figured out but if you guys come down be prepared to have a pretty packed agenda!

We diffently need to set up the "mini meets" all it would have to consisit of is one person to get it going and a location for people to meet so they can travel together.. if you guys wanna make the other meets something a little bigger go right ahead.

I know this is still a long way off but lets start getting as many people on this list as possible, the more intrest we generate the better this thing will be and the more things we will be able to offer.

Thanks
NEVER-

as long as its kinda end of summer i'm in cause i really wanna get my silvia lights in first......but i'm in VA
who ever is on my way i'll meet up with

Were planning on august 17th (wednesday) for the start of it and run it threw that following sunday the 21th

in a few days we will start a new topic about it to keep the clutter down - in that topic will include a full agenda of everything for you guys and a list of names of people that want to come etc.

We may need to ask for a small donation from those that are willing to come to help pay for somethings.. but its will only be a small amount like 5-10 bucks and will be diffetly worth it >>

NEVER-

Would you be interested in helping to organize something from the East to make it easier for everyone to travel together? Have a mini Eastern Meet that caravans here?

Or anybody else that may be interested...?
