So are you guys meeting up then?

Come on, LA is the laughing stock in Vancouver now, you guys can't even get a meet together :rolleyes:

;)

Considering how BIG LA is, and how spread out we are, it's not too surprising that we don't get together often.

One of my best friends is about 20 miles away, although I can almost see his house from my backyard (other side of the San Fernando Valley). Darryl is about 50--60 miles from me, and Braden (Turboge) is 25 in the other direction.

As an example, the four sites that we use for autocross are 25, 65, 70, 85, and 130 miles away from me. The 25 and 65 are South, the 70 and 85 are East, and the 130 is North. So we have venues up to 200 miles apart. Through LA traffic. It has taken me 3-4 hours to make it to the sites 65-85 miles away on a Friday afternoon.

OF course, Jay93dx, being in Visalia, isn't quite in the LA area. Closer to 200 miles North of LA. (BTW Jay, you may want to go through Tehachapi-hwy 58- if you come down to Norton. That will help you avoid most of the LA traffic.)

Now factor in life, work, family, kids, etc. Ya sure, everybody has the same deal, but the fact is, we aren't close to each other geographicaly at all.

and if it wasn't for geting together for autox races, i'd have gone cookoo long ago.

I know I joined in kinda late, but I'm up for meets. Let me know. I'm trying hard to have my ZEX ASAP RTR.

OK, just got a hair up my ass to really get something set-up. We have plenty of people here (San Diego included).

How about a big ass BBQ on Memorial Day Weekend? Sunday or Monday (i have to work that Saturday)

Lets hear some location ideas and nail this damn thread shut with a bloody MEET!!! (uhhh, no pun was really intended :D)

Whaddya say?

I'd say Silverwood Lake, but I checked about camping spots the other day, and they said they were packed (for camping spots) for the weekend. Even though I was checking on camping spots, based on the fact that they are packed, I can only imagine that the other picnic/BBQ areas are going to be packed. Otherwise, that place would be kick-ass for a BBQ meet.

Anyone else know of a larger park or another lake that would be good for a meet?

i was thinking beach area, as most beaches have fire pits, but now that i think of it, i'm not sure if they are open during the day (strange rules, i know) as i've only used them at night....

better put my thinking cap(s) on....:firehair: :dunce: :wewant: :chef: :batman:

Hey cummon guys pick a spot and stick with it, It would be nice to just picnic and hangout. When is Memmorial Day? it would be nice to do it on a sunday so we dont have to worry about rushing home early. I still think we should do it in a central location (visalia)(bakersfield) were people from the north and south can all meet up. If we could do that we will have ourselfs a kick ass meet. If not just make it at Magic Mountain or a park near or around the L.A area.

Hey Everyone!

Let's definitely do something on Memorial Day!

I have compiled a list of of the Southwest members. We all seem to be in California and the furthest north is in central California. The list is sorted by furthest distance from San Diego and then by name for those in the same city. Here's the list:

Well, if we had a vote of everyone, something tells me we'd be having the meet in San Diego. :D

However, that wouldn't be fair. A few people mentioned beach. It just happens that Ventura is just about right smack in the middle between San Diego and Visalia. It's 188 miles from San Diego and 191 miles from Visalia. That would make a really nice meet... nice and temperate, beautiful beaches, and a fun drive for everyone on the way (Pacific Coast Highway for southern dwellers, HWY 126 for northern dwellers). What do you guys think?

Let me know...

Jerry that is the brightest idea yet, good job dude now find a place in Ventura were we could throw this thing. I would have no problem at all driving to ventura, its only 191 miles away (supposedly) so lets commit to it and do it. We are way over due for this, cummon Cali.

I just heard about the meet you guys are getting together and would be happy to go if someone could give me directions. I live pretty far away but don't mind driving distances (my girlfriend lives 4 hours away). I am curious though if anyone could give me basic directions from Santa Rosa? If anyone knows where that is, it is about an hour and a half north of San Fransisco. There's no tight pro's up here that I've seen and I would be overjoyed to see something other than a civic or an integra.

Any help?

Ventura works for me, Magic Mountain works for me... I'll try and figure the schedule that weekend and see whats going to come. The turboge has no motor in it right now so I'll most likely bring the Spec.
