2009 So Cal Summer Meet on Sunday August 2nd!!, Meeting anywhere in la/riverside/orange county area Options

[dlx742]

august should be good just as long as we know ahead of time. we should get a date finalized asap. if its guna be in august. perhaps like the 1st (sat) or 2nd (sun) or the week after that which is the 8th or the 9th.

Also not sure if a meeting point has been finalized or itinerary.

It is california and many times we end up at the beach.... if we do an all day thing we could always do a beach cruise hit up Neptunes Net (shrimp place in fast and the furious). Then head over the hills via malibu canyon to angeles crest hwy and hit up Mt Wilson or simply find a chill spot on mulholland over looking the beach..... or head back down to santa monica peir and do that pacific park/arcade area (parking is guna be 10 bucks all day but we probably will find space for all of us together)

not sure what time neptuns net closes but if we make it early we perhaps can meet up in long beach, then cruse up to Venice to get lunch, then hit up Santa Monica for pacific park/arcades/chilling on the beach, then continue north and hit up Neptunes net for a supper kinda deal, and then if ppl are still down hit up angeles crest or find a place on mulhulland (with out getting to crazy on the canyons that is)

we could do a bbq somewhere too... perhaps up in the mountains.. however finding somewhere our cars can access might be iffy

theres also speedzone if all else fails and dont forget shooting pool in korea town and some late night snacks

just some ideas

all of that sounds pretty legit and i'd be there

I'm diggin the beach/BBQ/cruise thing more than a car-parts store. Either way I'm interested tho.

I'm diggin the beach/BBQ/cruise thing more than a car-parts store. Either way I'm interested tho.

I'm down for that. I don't want to go to no car parts store either. Beach BBQ Cruise sounds good, I mean.... What else would car enthusiasts do? We wanna be by our cars, we want to meet up, hang out. What more could you ask for?

Also can I make a request? Can we please go somewhere good for shots/pictures? I am really looking forward to this and I am inspired by the East Coasters to want to take a camcorder and make a video, plus I really really really want to take pictures. Don't worry, even though I can't use Photoshop for $#!T, I won't let any flaws stand out on your car. I just need the experience.

alright guys i guess the meet will be around the beginning of August.

So can everybody start giving me dates and times that they are available from so we can get things more organized as the time passes by.

ive created a list of members that live in Southern California along with the cities they live in and the last day they logged onto the website. I was kinda dissapointed in how little the last meet was (not including the members that said they were going but could not make it since some last minute things came up that were emergencies)

[urbandork]

ok so is the sunday the 2nd set in stone now? if so ill ask for it off and we should change the title of the thread to include that date.

we also should start a list of ppl going for sure.

i was at a srt4 meet in newport beach and it was actually a great spot. it was out on the peninsula and right next to the beach. really easy to get to and was laid back. there were many places to eat within walking distance and the pier was right next to the parking lot. cops went through the lot a few times, but they never hassled any of us, only the people out on the beach with huge bonfires. just putting the idea out there as an idea.

I don't have a SLR camera, but I do want to take pics with mine and try to get some video in too. But I hope we can begin an annual North/South meet and switch up on location each year, in addition to whatever meets have have in the future.

I really would like it though if we hit up a nice beach and a nice drive. Plus some eats?! Oh hell yeah.

yea im up for the 2nd

[xs94st]

Aiite cool, imma request the 2nd off tomorrow when I get into work, I'm just glad we got a date in. We can decide on a exact spot within these next few weeks.

[wilc4]

Hey all, saw this thread and I would be interested! I live out in Moreno Valley, CA (its near Riverside)

[xs94st]

Sup wilc4, how long have you lived out there? I used to live on the border of MoVal off Blaine n Iowa n then off of Fair Isle.

You ever see a white celica around there? =)

[Random_Stranger]

Hey all, saw this thread and I would be interested! I live out in Moreno Valley, CA (its near Riverside)

Then come on down to the meet! This is going to be my first official meet ever (yeah, I never even been to a CAR SHOW or a race track! LOL), so I want to take all the pictures and record all I can and pray enough people show up to make it really fun for future events.

[BonzaiCelica]

Alright, Date Changed Craig. Hmm, beach sounds good to me. I would like to go to k1speed if you guys want to. Its about $20 a race plus a yearly pass which is another $6. Maybe if we get a group of 10 or more we can get a discount at like $15 a race. Im not sure though, all i know is that if you buy 2 you get 1 race free.

I was going to return my camera, cause bro got fired from job, but i couldn't after all because best buy has a 2 week return policy and i surpassed it. So ill be bringing my Nikon Coolpix p90. its no slr, but one of the best digital camera's on the market right now.

wait um how do you change it so i can put the date??

Craig also talk to eggman 40 cause i know he wants to come as well but he hasn't replied yet... cause hes outta town right?

Not that I can speak for everyone else, and not entirely sure on what K1speed is even, but I am going to just note that not all of us are of that area, and that $20 could go towards contributing towards a BBQ if we decide to do that, plus the gas for a cruise (which sounds like a good idea for me). So I dunno.... I mean if Derrick came from all the way where he is, I doubt he would want to dish out $20 on top of his gas getting to the meet, you know? Again, not to discourage, but just to not put too many ideas out there other than a simple meet that is universal, and when I say universal, something we are all familiar with and nothing so much that caters to locals (as far as easy to access/do/etc..), you know? For instance, we wouldn't want to have a meet and all go to an arcade. You can go to the arcade by yourself and not everyone will want to be in an arcade. I know I would sit by my car the whole time if I wasn't familiar with the location. That's all I am saying....

Well now you got mine,
661.343.7677 (Faustino or "Faust", whichever is easier on you). I got unlimited everything, so I don't mind anyone calling or texting me. Hell, at least I would know it was put to good use, lol hardly rings and a few texts here and there.

[BonzaiCelica]

alright then keep it simple and to the point. just driving around (cause im sure we all love to do that) and then the bbq and smores. we'll just chat it up. play soccer (if any of you play it) throw around the football w/e. only 5 people so far. I know we should at least get another 5 to come.

I just might start messaging peope on that list to see if other members can make it since i know that most so cal members dont go on the forums all the time.

714 422-4898 call or txt
