a possibility might even be at a track.......the cayuga speedway has had swap meets for old trucks and stuff before....

the dragway may even entertain the idea...

 

I know a place in Brampton... it does not have any excevily large parking lots but it has a lot of pickncik tables and soccer feilds. It is teh Croation center... it is free, and we would just pick a date and set up there.... the only problem is no drag strip or anything intresting.

 

I like the sounds of $free.99 though.....

 

yesh brampton is a good idea .. howvere if we are in that area perhaps we should contant jrp? dure to the fact that they are local and they have also suplied forum members with the discount would bea good idea to show some appreciation

 

If you guys are really interested in putting on this swap meet, I can arrange to have the meet at Mosport during the May 13th/14th CASC races. We can set aside a complete RX7's Only area, swap stuff and see some interesting racing as well.

For people that are coming from out of town there is free camping for the whole weekend and an at track fast food bar that serves dinners lunches and breakfasts.

Let me know if it acceptable to everyone and I will get free passes for all attendees. Maybe a lunch drivearound and an interview with the race announcers for a "lucky" member.

 

Sounds like the deal of a lifetime!

 

..And the clouds break up,the Sun comes out ..The Waters part...Hell ya!!..now we are gettin some where!..Quick..grab this guy,and don't let him get away!..LOL

 

LOL, its really no problem at all to organize. The only issue will be getting tickets to everyone who wants to attend. The tickets will be available for download off the internet as we get closer to the date and I will just have to confirm a location for the swap meet.

Who knows, maybe Al will have his new motored car out and I will have my car out as well getting it all shook down for the 3 Hour race over Victoria Day Weekend. I will also have some cool things on my car for the Enduro as well.

Just let me know and I will get it all put together and have it advertised throughout the whole CASC as an RX7 meet. Mosport frowns on an official swap meet on their property, so no vendors unless they get a cut, but a few guys looking over each others stuff and exchanging parts/ money will be fine.

 

i think this guy has a halo over his head lol well either way im glad he came out and said somthing .. however i still think it would be nice to invite the ppl who have offered their support to the rxy comunity as well i.e jrp and other associated sponsors

 

mmmmosport.....tasty - sounds like fun....

 

Can I drive my stock box of wood... I mean GSL around the track with some other cars for fun??? *Big smile on face*

 

Guys, Mosports track rules states that if a vendor is at the track, they have to buy/ rent the rights from Mosport for the weekend. I believe that the cost is around $5000. I will check into it if it is important.


The only way that we can do this is if we keep it low key and only amongst private individuals. The guys from JRP, etc.... can come but as people not as a company. If they want to show their "colours" so to speak, it will cost a ton.

I have already spoken to the President of the CASC and he is all for it, but he was the one who said that this has to be a meet where some individuals swap stuff, not an organised swap meet where vendors display their products.

If we want to proceed let me know and I will do it.

Also, if I can arrange a parade lap it will be very tightly controlled, don't count on that. I do know that interviews and facility tours can be arranged for the Mosport newbies.

 

intresting... I jsut want to drive the **** out of my car, if I am this close to a race track.... maybe an Rx-7 track day/swap would be inorder???

 

This sounds great!!! Which dates are we talking so that I can book off now?

 

Good Q.

 

well ..23racer mentioned the 13/14 of May ..and sounds like it could be some FUN!..so if this is a"GO"..I"M IN..(Hell I'm up for anything,anywhere...)..

 

I trust that is a weekend??? And can I drive the **** out of my car on a real race track???

 

No you can't. This is not a lapping day, it is a race weekend the 13th and 14th of May. You can get free admission, camping, swap meet and maybe, just maybe a parade lap of all the RX7's at about 40 mph.

If thats not enough then I am out.

 

Jumpin JUNIPERS!..the focus is on a location for a Swap Meet..Now 23Racer has given a real nice offer,and he should be thanked for takin the time to check this out..THANK YOU!, 23Racer ..I just want to get out of the friggin house!..and Meet some fellow owners..I can drive my car anytime!,but not without good parts!

 

I think it is a great idea don't get me wrong, I am just a little on the crazy side after the accedent.

Thanks 23racer

 

That sounds awesome. If I'm not at a solo1 event I will be sure to come. Save me a spot Hopefully there will be a repost to remind us a bout this weekend.

You guys rock!!

 

A sticky would do the trick. Wouldn't it? Hmm...just a thought.

 

If a date and place can be established than we can go with a pinned thread. Create a new thread so no one has to sift through this mess. What do you think?
