Jeff (defgeph) and I have been discussing a national meet for a few weeks and have decided to take the initiative to set one up. There have been a lot of good points made about potential meeting places which we have considered at length. This is NOT a thread to debate the location of this meet. That said, everyone is welcome and this meet should not discourage others from setting up other meets in places like Kansas or Colorado.
The details: Meet will be May 5, 6 & 7. It will coincide with the exact same meet for the MR2 guys. We are piggy backing off their meet for one reason - more cool cars and people to hang out with. Event will start in Charlottesville, Virginia, 10am. Continue along the Blueridge Mountains, from Virginia into West Virginia heading for the Dragon. Saturday will include driving the Dragon. Sunday will include some of the most awesome roads in West Virginia, with huge drop-off and fast blind curves! Here is a map of the Dragon:  Hotel Information: Hotel Details - http://www.valleyviewlodge.com/ There are no Group Rates as that weekend is Old Timers Weekend. The prices are still great! Toll Free Reservations: 1-800-292-4844 Local Calls: 865-448-2237 May 5, 6, 7 2005 ( I booked May 5 and 6) $69.95 2 people $5 each additional per room Please tell them that it is for "Strong Stock" which is what the MR2 event organizer is calling the event. The Hotel has 138 room, currently (Dec 9, 2005) there are 43 room available. So please call and reserve your room now. You will need a credit card and you MUST be over 18 years of age. More will be posted soon... but please get your rooms sorted out. Please post if you will attend. There may be other people like me that will not drive that far unless there is a good turnout. If thats the case, just say so in your post. I would like to see at least 50 cars there (mr2s and celicas) for me to make the trip. Honestly, I don't think thats going to be a problem. 1. jgreening (Jay) This post has been edited by jgreening: Dec 9, 2005 - 2:58 PM -------------------- QUOTE(lagos @ Jul 10, 2006 - 1:55 PM) [snapback]454118[/snapback] i know your trying to do the right thing for your motor, but this is one of those times where you should just trust the guys who have had their swaps for a while and have done a ton of research into this. |

 ) but best of luck Take tons of pics for us west coasters.

Man, if it weren't for it beginning on a friday....I most likely will be all over this meet, if I do have classes next semester that day I'll probably just skip it. But I should know for sure in about a week or so.
