United States Meet.... Options

[dabazied]

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

[bloodMoney]

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!!

[freddy121389]

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

[96bluevert]

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.

[freddy121389]

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

[dabazied]

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.

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?

[lilgreenyoda]

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.

[supershannon77]

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

[nics]

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

[richee3]

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.
