Has this ever been done with the 6gc fam? If not, maybe we should try this sometime. Meet in the middle(time wise, cuz its easier to get across long distances faster from out west to east rather than vice versa). I know it'd be rough, but how about a plan for sometime in this coming year, like mid year, or the year after? Put down your thoughts people. It would be cool to get a big cross country meet going.

itd have to be late summer.
that would maybe be enough time to gather intrest in the masses.

Lebanon, Kansas

i wouldnt be willing to drive that far unless i knew that over 100 6gcs would be there

i think the idea would be to make it an all gen celica meet

That'd be awesome! Like DSM Shootout but for celicas....

EDIT: The Dragon run is already a pretty popular event on alltrac.net and celicatech.com.... I can imagine that it would get a little dangerous with 100+ celicas tearin it up at the same time....

if the 6gc family can make this happen itll be amazing!! but it cant be just a one day thing!!

hey in june we're having a meet near kansas city missouri, check it out Midwest Meet 6GC

Yeah, you'd have to plan it very far ahead of time and promote it a lot across Toyota boards/Celica boards. If something like this were to ever happen, It'd be awesome though.

that person would have to have a lot of patience in order to deal with organizing that though

Hopefully we cld make the meet at least a cpl days. The dragon is a great spot, but A, its not central us, B, theres too many cops and tourists/rv in the summer, and C, not a good spot for that many of us. Id love to have 100 plus members as well, but realistically, if its planned right, we would prob have about 50 6gens. I do think making it an all years type thing would be good. And just an fyi, if we get enough ppl of all gens(i would like a good turnout from 6gc), I can get some sponsoring from toyota. Its gotta be big though, something that'll spark their interest. I've already discussed some of this with some corporate guys. We are talkin really cheap hotels, free food/drinks for yota owners during the car show portion, some free gear(hats n keychains and +50hp stickers), and some coverage on their website and other media that they distribute. This could be big, just gotta get the interest.

You've got my vote. I've also got sponsor connections with Toyota as well as some big performance shops in TN/GA that said they will be in if the turn out is big enough (75+ cars). I just hope the turn out is big enough. I've got (4) ready to roll when the time comes. Working on more.

I'm not fond of driving halfway across the country just to hang out with all you douchebags for a weekend.

Hey guys, there's a Florida meet in January/February...6GC.net Key West vacation?

CO has some roads that are at least comparable to the Dragon if you ask me. Like Hwy 50 West between Canon City and Salida. And it's more central than the dragon... Any takers?

General map. Curves and scenery are fricken awesome. Was going to post a link to a map of the route I had in mind, but I can't quite get it to work right. Will post back when I figure it out...

The thought is amazing, but Holy Heck! What a frigging drive. I doubt I will/would be able to do this until years and years later down the road. I mean, on our side, we can't even get a West Coast meet, let alone a USA meet.

Im all about big meets, but I agree with Random, its hard enough to get people together out here in DFW. Sponsors and stuff would be great, and late summer will give me enough time to get everything situated, but it would be nice to know where its going to be before i commit to anything.

If this was serious and I could get off from work I would be down.

a lot of factors to consider, it seems impossible but worth doing!

If somebody can make this happen, you know I'm in. My car will be close to done by the time this comes around, and I've gotta have somebody to show it off to.

hmm all about big meets huh?

My thoughts are towards late summer of the coming year or maybe even the year after that, this way we wont have anyone saying, "oh, I didn't know" or "that's last minute", ya know? And I'm looking into where would be a good spot and pretty much picking a good central area, and then I will contact my contacts at corporate for Yota and see if it would be a doable stuff if we got enough celicas and stuff to commit and show up. Right now, I'm just in the planning/gauging interest part atm. I'm hoping that maybe I can have some solidified/semi-solidified ideas for the plans on where and when by the end of the month. Keep the ideas coming in with some suggestions and all that good stuff and any input.

I'm thinking somewhere in Oklahoma, Kansas, or Nebraska based on time and all that and where the most interest comes from, meaning, if we get a lot of Northeast interest, go with Nebraska, mixed will mean Kansas, and if it's Southeast, we should shoot for Oklahoma. Just throwin out ideas tho atm.

Oh, and Faust, We will get a full Cali meet going at the start of next year, and I'll make sure we get a nice turnout. I mean come on, we had 11 members come to a last minute meet not too long ago. I got it.

You know it!

And if its Oklahoma you can count me in for sure.

I'm in for anywhere. Even the coasts, although I know that's out of the question. If there's a Celica meet big enough with enough attention for the 6gc, then I say we go for it. I'm willing to help out however I need to.

If you want, you can start PMing all the ppl in your state and stuff and just send em the link to this thread and ask them to please leave input. Same with everyone. That way we can make sure the whole community sees it and stuff. And if anyone knows some of the people who don't frequent this site anymore, but still have a celica and you have another way of contacting them, tell them to please check out the thread and leave some feedback.

i would be willing to participate if everything was actually planned out and we have people showing some genuine interest... the idea sounds great but like most people... i am not going to travel cross country by myself in a swapped celi.. theres just too many issues that could arise... if it was some sort of giant caravan... then i would be down... but it has to be something that i would be willing to use a week of my vacation time in order to do... not just a meet and greet and leave...

>

Of course. Try PMing some ppl in your area/state and surrounding states and send em the link to this thread. I would hope that we could get caravans from all over, that way we can watch each others backs and help if any problems arise. I'm looking at probably it being about a 3 day meet kinda thing, longer for those that want, and shorter for those that wanna just stop by.

Biggest fear that people have is hauling 4000 miles round trip, about $500 spent just to find out that only a couple of cars showed up... not the kind of get together that we see in smaller countries or in bigger cities where driving to location takes 40 minutes. But err dragon is fun to drive on with 9000 cops waiting to catch people having fun

If anything, I can vouch for Richee's attendance just because he said he's also willing to drive to FL.

Good luck getting everything set up people. I won't attend, but it'll be a sight to see in pictures for sure.

6gc USA meet San Diego, CA

joke hahaha.
