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.

Well...there are a lot of things you can do as far as what is going to happen at the meet. For example, out here there was an ATS meet (its a local shop, specializes in MR2's, swaps, etc). What they did was have a 3 day meet in which people had to pay an entry fee. In these 3 days they had seedoo excursions, dyno/tune day, track time, a little drive, BBQ. Im sure that someone here went to it and can shed more light on what they did. But its an idea. Get some sponsors, do a meet/greet, dyno/tune days, stuff like that. Even if it was two days but you had things going on Im sure youd get a better turnout.

Oh for sure. I think the entry fee thing isn't such a good idea for us, just because we *fingers crossed* will have people spending loads on gas and stuff like that coming halfway across country for some of us. But, once we get some more people in the maybe pile, we will decide on an area, get the sponsor stuff worked out, then figure out what there is in the area to do and plan out some details on what we should do by popular vote.

And Swiss, Toyota has no sporty cars out at the moment. They are doing good on the sales that they have. To see if the company wants to roll out some newer sporty cars or bring some back from the dead(per the guy I've been talking with), a nice little car show/Yota sponsored meet would help gauge interest on doing something like that and re-expanding their line up. Gets their name out there more, shows what they used to be, and sees if there are enough people wanting to see some great cars from toyota. If they get enough people to come to a show, and get good reviews from people looking, then bam, they are more likely to put out a sporty car WITH a Yota badge. That's just how he explained it to me. Also, depending on when this happens(meaning this or next yr) there is a possibility of them bringing out the new mystery car that they HAVE been working with subaru on to show it off.
