NorCal 240SX 2004 March Meet Discussions

Feel free to post ideas for the next meet.


Date:
The meet will likely be on either March 13 (Saturday) or 14 (Sunday).

Time:
Probably starting in early afternoon and ending whenever.

Location:
Most people seem to prefer parking lots in the San Jose area, but go ahead and suggest other good locations. The location should be able to hold 60 or so parked cars with plenty of room to spare.

the Grant Ranch drivers meet seemed to be a good idea; people meeting with cars of different kinds, food which attracted many i am shure of!, and a decent location so we did'nt have to move arround due to police and complaints,

so?

WHERE SHOULD WE HOLD SUCH A MEET?

WHAT SHOULD WE HAVE PLANNED FOR SUCH A MEET?

AND FOOD. BBQ?? EAT OUT?? B.Y.O.S" BRING YOUR OWN SHIT!"?

well anyway, i was just throwing arround ideas. but i would like to see somethng going down in march!


thanks,
brandon

[OptionZero]

can we be closer to Sac this time? heheheh...don't wanna drive 2.5 hours down to SJ...

[Ghst 01]

[Var]

I would like to have something closer to Frisco

close to frisco but not in frisco..parking nightmare.

where is there close by where we would have fun just chillin..how bout the go-kart spot in burlingame? they got pool tables and tv's.

and go-karts!

[Ghst 01]

Yea the Kart place would be a good idea.
As for parking lots i was thinking about Tanforan mall parking lot since itis closed for re-modeling.

[GotDriftS14]

woohooo danio! well whatever you guys decide for this meet, i will DEFINITELY be going to this one.

[kazuo]

YEa fo rilla.

Time to organize a "old school" reunion... hahaha

SOMEONE BRING MAKOTO!! :P

Also, I vote for Sunday.. cus then I can actually go.

South Bay is fine with me, easier with parking...

:D

[D1drifter]

hmm, how about the JC mission college parking lot? Easily accessable from around the bay, just off 101. The parking lot pretty huge and a few minutes away from an indoor gokart track facility (speedring).

[sLiDewAys]

im down for almost anywhere, but not anywhere in frisko,! san jose and milpital ect is good for me, let me knoe what you guys want to get planned. i can get 20+ cars for shure!

thanks,
brandon

[Danio]

Never been to Tanforan mall (or even heard of it prior to today) but I guess I'll check it out sometime. I like how it's not in the South Bay where we usually have meets. (It's in San Bruno, for ppl who don't want to look it up.) Not sure that it'll save any driving time for Sacramento people though, cuz they'd have to go through SF. :P

Mission College... Anyone know for sure that they don't mind car meets, or any other colleges that don't? And I'm guessing any college campus'll require a daily parking permit, which I hope won't be a big deal for people ($1.50 or so).

Is anyone familiar with Pleasanton Sports & Recreation Park? I've attached a pic of it. I know there's a big lot there but don't know if it's busy on weekends or if it has to be reserved.

[Ghst 01]

"Pleasanton Sports & Recreation Park" looks like a spot with more than enough space.

[BadMoJo]

Werd, OG NorCal meet y0!!!

Ha :) Who know maybe even I will make it up. Thats if I have nothing better to do though, gas is waaaaay to $$$ these days.

[Danio]

Ahh you have nothing better to do than show off your car. It's looking good!

[BadMoJo]

haha, thanks. I have nothing better to do because i am so broke. Without money I cant do much of anything. :(

[TiNMAN]

the pleasonton spot looks super sweet. anywho, im down for anywhere in and around the bay area. :bigok:

[clingad]

How about a meet somewhere in Vallejo?

[TiNMAN]

you know of any good spots out there? how are the pigs out there? lol

[clingad]

They have some nice parks there, like Blue Rock Springs and Dan Foli. There's a fee to park, but it's only like $2 or $3. Cops aren't bad if you're not acting stupid.

[ootranceformeroo]

I think the Pleasanton Sports & Recreation Park sounds nice.....or rather looks nice....

[NZO]

Nice and wet...

[fliprayzin240sx]

Supra/RX-7 guys had a meet at this one park in vallejo. Location wasnt bad plus you always get on 12 to head out towards Barryesa for a nice drive.

[ootranceformeroo]

Nice and wet...


Thats the way I like it :yum:

[dvdevo]

:naughtyd: :naughtyd:

[stillmatic]

Anyone wanna hit up the batting cages? There are 3 spots in the bay...

[that180guy]

must...revive....NorCal 240sx

sunday would be fine, but i vote saturday (cuz yall know....sunday = hw/study yda for the college slacker :fawk: )

[TiNMAN]

ill second that. :)

[Danio]

Since most people are from the San Jose area, I'd rather save Vallejo for later when the weather's more predictable.

So I guess people like the Pleasanton spot (for the wrong reasons but whatever). I'll still need to find out if that place will be available. I don't know if there's sports activities or whatnot there on weekends which would take up the parking lot.

How packed is Stoneridge Mall on weekends? We had a meet there once (very long time ago) and there was plenty of space for our 10 or so cars. Anyone know what it's like there on weekends now, and if security would mind a car meet with about 50 cars? I'm thinking if we decide on that Pleasanton park and can't meet there for some reason, this might be a nice backup location.

[Drift_Ladie]

won't security trip? whenever i go there.. i always see hella security and stuff going through the parking lots..

[Var]

i frown on parking lot meets cause they are boring anyways.

How about Huddart Park in Redwood City? there are 100 + miles of twisty roads going in all direction from Alice's restaurant. There are a lot of motorcycles and cars that meet at the top and chill on sundays. We can always have a spot at the park, drive up to Alice's for lunch. or something like that. i cant believe i never thought of a meet at Huddart park. If we dont end up doing this meet there, i'll definitely try to get one going later when it gets warmer.

[CustomS14A]

For any car meet on a weedend im down just make it a shure thing
Jay try out this web site www.liberousa.net or www.signalauto.com give these people a call and get a sr.

[dvdevo]

dang signal thats some baller stuff... goto rcrewracing.com or soemthing..

That's a good idea and you can still go ahead and do that at a parking lot meet. Whatever activities people decide to do afterward is up to them. Some people go home and whine on the forums about how boring the meet was while others get together and go driving or eat or whatever. I like to just keep it simple. The goal's just to organize a time and place for 240SX owners to meet if they want to, and then they can do whatever they want.

I know more people are gonna start bringing up driving on "twisty roads". Personally I don't like having more than 4 cars driving together on a mountain road, so I'm definitely not gonna include that activity as part of a car meet. But what you decide to do after the meet is up to you.

[Var]

cool i was definitely not trying to set up a touge but it doesnt hurt to be around nice roads. plus there are 4 different directions you can drive to, and one of them splits into 4 more.

[TiNMAN]

im down with a touge :rawk:

[Andrew Bohan]

gonna bring out the new s13?

[TiNMAN]

hmm, maybe. we'll see what happens.

[driftcrazy]

so when is the meet happeing? and where?

[Danio]

so when is the meet happeing? and where?

Not totally sure where yet. Shooting for Pleasanton.

Probably will take place on March 14, Sunday, cuz that's what most people want. But if we set it on Sunday, we might have to sacrifice our JDM special guest Makoto.

Anyway, nothing's final yet.

[TiNMAN]

i dont get it :( ....was the guest suppose to be at a meet or wha??

[anthony240]

woohooo!! finally, a REAL Norcal meet. here's a website I found:

http://www.ci.pleasanton.ca.us/pdf/rec_sportsparkmap.pdf

seems like it's just a bunch of soccer fields and baseball diamonds. hmmm, can we actually get some exercise during a meet? i think that would be a first, instead of just standing around staring at each others cars, we can play some kickball (yea!) or throw the pigskin around. and, for those inclined with hand-eye coordination (unlike me) can spend time at the batting cages. dang, I gotta get into shape!

But I still wouldn't know how busy (or not) they are on the weekends. but with 5 baseball diamonds and 11 soccer fields, that would be more than enough space. And do it on the 14th so I can come! and we can make it a bbq too. it's gonna be awesome!

[knghtryde]

So still no where or when?

[Danio]

So still no where or when?

Yeah. I'll try to have that decided by tomorrow night.

[stealthj]

[cali240sxdrifter]

these smelly hoes you speak of. do they smell good or bad?

[cali240sxdrifter]

Ha, as smelly as u want them to be =P hehe

We should do a date on saturday because I got class on monday and I need to leave back to LA on Sunday afternoon.

[Danio]

Ehh sorry, but most people seem to want Sunday. :\

All right, the meet will most likely be on March 14, Sunday, at Pleasanton Sports & Recreation Park (5800 Parkside Drive / Pleasanton, CA), Parking Lot #2. I'll make a new thread soon with final details.
