View Full Version : July Vancouver meet

Ok lets get it setup well in advance so there can be few excuses.

Mid July or late July?

I vote July 30th.

This way Victory_Red will have the best chance of having his car back by then.

Tentative locale Burnaby Mountain Park. Depending upon the business or a better suggestion.

OK people lets here some ideas.:twothumbs

I'm pretty much open for any time in July. The weather should be awesome and it would be a ton of fun. I'm definately in this time. Make sure we choose the date early to make sure everyone can come and we have a big meet!

As for locations, A park would be great, something with lots of parking. Maybe down by the stadium? There's that huge lot by the water inbetween Science World and the stadiums.

Burnaby mtn is what everyone thinks would be more suitable.

I agree with Matty about it being the end of July. I want to be there and with the engine getting shipped out next week I need to give some wiggle room for having it back and tuned before the meet. I would say that it will be worth the wait and that I'll race a member or 2 but then Matty will bring along his monstor Mustang and chew me up for lunch:lol:

Seriously you guys should have a meet as I have no set date to get the engine back so there is no reason you shouldn't enjoy this beautiful sunshine.
Besides I could just show up in my back up ecotec, my wifes 4dr Sunfire:lol:

When my car is done I won't be letting any lot jockeys drive mine either:nono:
Having said that and the fact that I am "older" than the young guy and yourself, I thought you would get a chuckle out of the suggestion:lol:

What you don't think rolling into a car meet in a cab would be funny?? Come on. It would be a first for sure :p:
Now the problem with this suggestion is that I may have to take up donations for the cab ride as you know expensive custom enginges can be;) :lol:

06-08-2006, 09:23 AM
We are nailing it down for the end of July, if you see any thread about a june meet is just to get acquainted with some new local members, sort of a warmup, looking forward to you guys comming up, maybe we can come down for one of your washington meets some time

06-20-2006, 09:42 PM
Bad news guys. You may or may not have seen my project update but the engine won't be ready for the July meet. Eight weeks from today is what I was told before all was done and shipped which means add 1-1.5weeks to get it installed and tuned.
I hope the June and July meets are so awesome that everybody wants to do it again at the end of August as well.

It would be great if it did, that means we would have a great turnout. btw how big is the lot,if not twwassen beach has an overflow lot that is never used, Ive been there everyday almost for the last two weeks and there is hardly a car ever in it and there is food, beach, shade trees and we can get the barbies goin there. and Mason what are you doin up at this time:nono:

The concensus seems to be Burnaby Mtn. park but maybe twassen, i think twassenn would be great considering there are some of you guys comin over the border, it would be close for you then.

the part of boundary bay we are meeting at is Centennial beach, when you come into Twasswan yiu will see a couple signs pointing to the beach. when you are on the only main road in twsswan all you haveto do is make one left turn to get you on the road to the beach and another left turn into the beach parking lot

here's a few pics from the meet, not too many showed up probably due to the weather forecast, however it was hot n sunny at centennial beach.

The 2 Ion Redlines showed up first - clearly the faster and more intimidating vehicles of the bunch! lol!
We saw a black Cobalt drive by, turn around, and take off....., yep - must've been intimidated by the RL's sitting there! haha!

but soon enough 3 more Cobalts showed up and finally a G5
yay!

I hear on Aug.14th if the engine is ready to ship back. Right now JBP has reduced their business hours to concentrate on my engine. It takes about 5 days to get shipped back and I give it another week to be installed and tuned\broken in. The body kit and paint job won't be started till the beginning of October but that is just icing on the cake. Once I have a confirmation of shipping I will suggest a meet date for very early in September.
The question is how many would be up for a Street legal track night?

If you guys want to set something up for September I'm down. I can book a day off if I've got enough notice and I'll swing in from the Isle. Would love to face off against some other SS/SC's in some street legals too for a little practice.
Ya its lookin like mid sept, we will leave it in Victorys hands to plan it and we all get to see his beast then, and maybe youll be runnin up against a few 2.4ts' let alone ss/sc:lol:

Sounds like fun, but I do need some good notice to get a weekend day off from work.
