December: When Are You Free For A Meet?

[Blue Bomber]

K, looks like next weekend is pretty much a bust for a meet. So on to December! We have 3 non holiday weekends to work with. I guess we'll figure out the best weekend first, then Sat or Sun, and finally, a location.

[lowredcruzr]

18/19 is the only time i'd be free but blew the motor in the celica so i wont be driving it out

[evensen007]

Wtf happened!?

[TRD01GT]

I'm only free: 27-28 in Nov and 5th Sunday and 11Sat-12Sun of December....., so I vote 11/12, but 5th works too

[jdmravi]

I dont wanna miss football so any Sunday is no good.lol I'm down for any day else, but it depends on where it is.

[lowredcruzr]

not sure yet we haven't taken the motor apart yet

[7th Gen]

I voted!

[GLERINK]

voted lol i just need a week in advance to know when, but im down for any day

[pslcelica]

A meet in December would be great but I personally think we should make one in feb-march. The more time we have to plan the more people will show. So far it looks like the most is 4 on one date. Something over 10 would be worth going to. The bigger the better!

[Blue Bomber]

Any nice roads in the area? Smaller numbers would work better for a cruise.

[pslcelica]

[newgrounds8790]

Where are yall planning to meet at

[GLERINK]

Yeah that is a good question where should we meet I would like for it to be central Orlando or Tampa would be nice

[FlCeliChik]

As of right now any of those days is ok for me pending location.

[Blue Bomber]

:eek::thumbdownWorked very well at the meet I went to in NY last month. Huge turnout, but we went on the mountain run in groups of around 10 cars. Nobody got lost. The next day in NH was another run. Again about 10 cars, and only 1 got lost.

theres is no such thing as nice roads here lol unless you want to go for like a night cruise lol and then we run the risk of a deer destroying our little ass cars lol

but then again thats in orlando

[TRD01GT]

I think its time to set the date...

[SoloMercsLady]

I'm good for whenever I just need to know when. Especially on sunday cause I usually have that day off anyway.

[2KGTrd]

the second option has the most votes lets do this its almost december

[GLERINK]

yes its time to set a date already and place lol

[2KGTrd]

date is the 11/12
now location!

[Blue Bomber]

So yeah, what's there to do in FL...?

[TRD01GT]

We can do a nice cookout in some good park which can accommodate many cars in one spot, I got a portable grill we could do some grilling and stuff

[7th Gen]

i wont be attending, going camping that weekend for a friends B-day

[edg3h_91]

im down

[SoloMercsLady]

I'll request it off. Justin you have my number so just text me let me know when and where.

[GLERINK]

where is a must know soon

[TRD01GT]

Looks like SAT 11th is when most of us can make it, lets do it on the 11th, Blue Bomber you've got the final word on this one, now we need a location

[2KGTrd]

i say we do it at gainsevile raceway since there is going to be a huge autocross event going on.
Perfect time to run your car hard in a legal scenario and get to meet all the celica guys/ladies

[creekboi7]

what time is this gonna be at? i have class on saturdays. i hope i can make it to some of the meet.

[TRD01GT]

Sorry to disagree, but small meets go way better when all ppl engaged in some sort of activity like grilling or cruising together or taking group pictures, chit chatting and not have half the ppl do autocrossing and the other half shoot the **** in the parking lot, plus there's going to be other non celica cars... just not a celica meet...

[2KGTrd]

okay so no go on the raceway then. Somewhere else in Gainesville perhaps? Somewhere around there?

[creekboi7]

i know of a raceway where they allow private meets in orlando. central florida raceway. the only thing is that they have events on friday and saturday nights. so idk if they would allow a meet during the day. :shrugs: heres a link to their page incase anyone wants to look into it. http://cfracingcomplex.com/

on the bright side, we can plan something out for the future on a date when they arent booked :thumbup:

[Blue Bomber]

Hmm, how bout karting at CFRC? It'll cost a little bit, but you'll have the time of your life. :)

How much is a little bit?

[305baller]

im down to go

[Blue Bomber]

$25 per person for 10 min of track time. Not sure if that includes a helmet. I went there in April, and it was certainly worth the price of admission. We had a group rate, so if we can get some confirmed ppl, maybe we can get a discount, too.

[SoloMercsLady]

I'm putting my days in today so I should get them.

[TRD01GT]

$25 for 10 min? LOL I can watch :)

[Blue Bomber]

$25 is worth it. It's a total rush. And you can easily drift in the go karts. :gap:

[2KGTrd]

where is this at? Lando?
I'd be down for that **** and a cruise after.

[evensen007]

Where is this at?

[irochos101]

Is it an outdoor or indoor track?

[Blue Bomber]

Outdoor track, but don't worry, the engines are warm. :)

[edg3h_91]

ravi and 305 im def down if u guys r in that way the drive isnt to bad il text flceli chik see if she is down as well

[jdmravi]

Yeah I'm down just gotta find a location and a time.

[TRD01GT]

ok time and place now so we can plan! Whats the address for the carting and whats the time, morning?

[2KGTrd]

i say we meet there at 1. that way i can get up and clean the car some before leaving at 10 to get there.

[creekboi7]

perfect, i live right next to that :fawk:

[Blue Bomber]

Hmm, if you guys wanna have a really good time, and a nice long cruise on a fast highway (95), maybe we can go to karting in Orlando during the day, and to Dave & Busters in Jacksonville in the evening.

[7th Gen]

^ i hate all of you if you guys go to dave & busters in jax, j/k. really wish i could go to the dave and buster part. damn camping trip :(

[SoloMercsLady]

Sounds good bomber. I put my days off in yesterday so I have to wait til next week to see if I'm getting the days off. I definatly should be though.

[irochos101]

Well there is a restaurant need my house that has a huge parking lot (always common place for car meet). And right down the road (less than a mile) is an indoor go-kart track ( electric but rated at 50+ mph). I dont know how you pull up the aerial views of the parking lot but here the the addresses for both places.

Restaurant:
Quaker Steak and Lube
10400 49th Street North
Clearwater, FL 33762-5023

Go-Karts:

Hmm, is there anything in the area to do after karts/food? That's probably the biggest thing, since, unless you have deep pockets, the karting won't last very long. I have no clue about the area, and just found D&B in Jacksonville out of luck, since someone in the office was talking about it.

I was checking both tracks, and I guess you get what you pay for. The gas track is almost 2x as expensive as the electric track, but it's 2x longer, with faster karts and a longer session (electric is lap limited, gas is time limited). Not to mention the raw feeling of a gas engine behind you and pavement underneath you. ;)

My car is going to be equipped with the"girlfriend" mod so I won't be able to drive fast :gap: But we'll tag along...:owned:

Just pull your speedo needle off the day before and set it 10... um, maybe 20mph lower. :gap: Besides, no matter how fast we go, there will definitely be people going faster. Not many places for cops to hide, either.

Isn't driving fast already out of the question cause you have a GT?
:rimshot:
Sorry couldn't resist lol

[irochos101]

I think there are some nice empty roads in the Sarasota area :hide:

[TRD01GT]

Its out of question cause I drive a Celica yes :)

[irochos101]

Haha touch

[evensen007]

Chris, I trust you'll be bringing the new D7000? I've been dying to get some respectable shots of my new setup.

[Blue Bomber]

Dunno if I can. It had a dead pixel, so I shipped it back yesterday for an exchanged. Used 2 day shipping, so they'll get it tomorrow. Hopefully, they'll have another one in stock to send back with 2 day shipping. If not, I have to wait till they restock. :(

[evensen007]

Ugggggggh!:(

[jdmravi]

The people from down south does not like the jax idea because I'm not spending money on a hotel.. lol

[Blue Bomber]

Ugggggggh!:(I still have a GoPro HD video camera and a grainy Panasonic Lumix TZ5 point and shoot. ;)The people from down south does not like the jax idea because I'm not spending money on a hotel.. lolWell then, Orlando or Tampa is the question...

[jdmravi]

Well then, Orlando or Tampa is the question...

I got people to stay at in Tampa and I can do Orlando. Which everone would be more fun.

[evensen007]

After seeing your shots on your web page and others that have shot with a DSLR, I can never take a point and shoot seriously again.

[Blue Bomber]

After seeing your shots on your web page and others that have shot with a DSLR, I can never take a point and shoot seriously again.Same here. When I got my D90 and started taking pics, I was like

0.o

Even today, the improvement in image quality from the very best point and shoot out there (Canon G12) to Nikon's lowest DSLR (D3100) is insane. DSLRs are just in a completely different league. Like a Celica vs an M3 and beyond. ;)

[evensen007]

I think this is one of my favorite shots that you have taken.
