fodive 12-08-2002 10:01 AM

I plan on being there until about midnight.

The first part of the meet is still tentative. I'm thinking about moving it farther north and out of Milpitas, but still next to 680. Pleasanton maybe. Make some suggestions.

NZO 12-08-2002 01:28 PM

I would be cool to have the first meet in a diff location (farther north-west plz, pleasanton is a good distance away for us northbay guys <img src="#/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>) and then we can drive en-masse to the next location. Makes for good highway footage as long as its not too dark by that time.




SR20Fastback 12-08-2002 02:12 PM

Sorry to say I cant be there. Oh and everyone buy there NorCal 240sx gear. Your New Stuff

I went ahead and bought the ownage sweatshirt. So everyone support the group by buying something. &nbsp;<img src="#/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>

Daniel-

&nbsp; Do you have any more info about this? I read about this on the Club4ag site but does that mean they'll specialize more in 240's? I know he sells a few parts for our cars, is it only the 86 line that's being slowly phased out?

&nbsp; I'd like to get a full set of all his supsension parts, just no money. Anyway, any word about the availability of 240 parts from Alex/Battleversion would be appreciated.

projectsilvia1 12-08-2002 10:52 PM

when you do these meets do you have to get permission to park there or can we all just meet up and sit there cause i know of a couple places where we can all meet in pleasanton right off of bernal ave..which is right off of 680....
there is a school on case and some buildings off of valley
so maybe there if we don't have to get permission

yeah, from what i've heard they are discuntinuing AE86 parts due to lack of interest (read as: AE86 people are too cheap), and will now be focusing on 240SX parts, since there was a high demand for them.

cali240sxdrifter 12-09-2002 12:04 PM

Malibu Speed Way!!! We should go there!

Danio 12-09-2002 02:10 PM

My info about BattleVersion came from Club4AG's site also, so I probably don't know any more than you do. Alex mentioned that sales for Toyota parts were down and Nissan were up, but he might close the business altogether because it isn't bringing in enough money. I remember him saying a few months ago that his parts would become Signal Auto parts though. Dunno if the deal didn't go through or what.

Only if you love my car... :P

No I've never obtained permission or reserved a lot to hold a meet. Never had to, but it'll probably become necessary later on.

From looking at MapQuest, Pleasanton Tennis & Community Park looks pretty big and close to 680. Anyone know what its parking lot is like? I'll probably go check it out sometime.

I don't know what the weather'll be like so I don't know if we should have a potluck or whatnot. Go ahead and bring food if you'd like. I'm sure there'll be hungry people. :P

I have no idea how many people would show up. Normally over twice the number of people who respond about it show up, and both of the previous meets had about 40 people. But Dec 27 is between two holidays so people might be out of town, and who knows what the weather'll be like.

Pleasanton is about 90 minutes from Sacramento. And I think Milpitas would be about 30 minutes from Pleasanton.


*** DECEMBER MEET ***

December 27 (Friday)


PART I - 3:00 PM (TENTATIVE)

Somewhere in Pleasanton, CA.


PART II - 6:00 PM

Milpitas Golfland
1199 Jacklin Road
Milpitas, CA 95035




fodive 12-09-2002 03:57 PM

parking there is probably less than it was in mtn view, but ive never really looked at the parking lot really, ill drive by there sometime this week, and yeah.

Danio 12-09-2002 10:15 PM

I went and took a look today, and ya you're right, it's small. But just a little further is Pleasanton Sports Park's parking lot, which is quite big. I think that might be a nice place for a meet. It's at the intersection of Hopyard Road and Parkside Drive (5800 Parkside Drive). Matt if you go take a look lemme know what you think.

Dec 28's track day is officially cancelled. From Tommy:

<small>dear all registered enthusiast:
i dont know how to tell you all, this event will
unfortunetly NOT happen.

we were hoping over the weekend to get more entries.
as of now we have less than 20 commited entries
including yourself. &nbsp;we need at least 50 for saturday
and 50 for sunday. &nbsp;normally 50 is a very easy and
reasonable number of participants, but holiday and
economy these days have taken a toll.

furthermore, your credit cards have not been charged
for this event. &nbsp;if your credit cards did get charged,
let me know and i will credit it back fully.

again we are very sorry we could not continue with
this event and thank you for understanding.
Happy holiday and Race-on,
Tommy</small>




fodive 12-09-2002 11:01 PM

problem with the sports park is there may be lots of activities going on there that day, like soccer games and everything. i can probably get the scheduale of activites for that day, for you guys

BadMoJo 12-10-2002 06:47 PM

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~YO~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


I just got this from tommy!!

to make up for the sears point loss, we are having a small event at

if u r interested, cost is only $140 with only 2 run groups. &nbsp;this
will be fun and lots of track time.
let me know if u want to go.
race-on,

Sounds like it would be sweet.

Anyone still down?!

SR20Fastback 12-10-2002 07:38 PM

HOLY SHIT, I wonder if I can go now. &nbsp;<img src="#/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/confused.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='???'> Im gonna go call my mom and see what she thinks. The only thing is, I need tires badly... point of the story is. Track day... I can probably only afford 2 then...

PAnut240 12-10-2002 11:24 PM

Hey SR20Fastback, I got 2 spair tires. &nbsp;they are 205/55/16's &nbsp; &nbsp;They are used but got enough tread to last a few months or a few track days. &nbsp;I'm geting rid of them because they don't offer me the traction I like with the camber I run. &nbsp;Let me know if they fit and I'll hook you up. &nbsp;Lets say, 50 for the pair. &nbsp;I may have 2 more buy then also since I'm going to be purchasing new rears for my Hatch. &nbsp;215's are just not enough for 300hp in my opnion. &nbsp;email or IM me and we'll chat.

is there a bigger parking lot to meet at b/s milpitas golfland.. milpitas high is nearby.. maybe we can meet in the hs parking lot? but im guessing thats going to attract cops.. theres also that park nearby but i dont know if its pleasanton park that danio was talkin about..

The Pleasanton park I was talking about is in Pleasanton (still tentative), and is for the first part of the meet. The second part which starts at 6:00 PM is at Milpitas Golfland. You're right, Golfland's parking lot isn't very big, but I don't expect everyone from the first part of the meet to caravan to Milpitas. If we do have too many cars and not enough parking, then I'll probably take some people to Tapioca Express. (Or maybe everyone.) *Shrug* Can't move the second part of the meet to a park cuz parks are supposed to be closed 30 minutes after sunset, and I doubt that Milpitas police would be lenient. Edit: I just wanna add that Friday nights are street racing nights, so be extra careful about not getting in trouble with the police. Especially don't do anything that would get everyone else in trouble.

$140 for Streets of Willow and only two run groups... That is a good deal. :P I won't be able to go but I'll envy the amount of track time people will get.




JLHs14 12-11-2002 08:21 PM

Can you guys give out more info for the "streets of willow" event. It kinda sucks that the other event got cancelled but I'm interested on this new event. JYT747 you down for this?

SR20Fastback 12-11-2002 08:53 PM

It looks bleek that I will make it for the streets. I guess I will just try to make it down during mid winter or spring break. Maybe we can set a meet up for then, or pray for a track day? <img src="#/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'> Sorry I cant make it, I can just look forward to a few months from now.
