Never mind, can't read, I'll have to see what were doing the 19th, would love to go. Old timers Disease.

 

I would prefer something closer to spokane, and preferably not the weekend of the 19th or 26th.

 

Back to the original idea of several weeks ago. The BBQ will be at the park in post falls on the south side of the river on Spokane St. I'm going to try and get the covered area on the west side of the parking lot with the BBQ Pits. If I do get the spot BBQ will start at 1pm Saturday June 2nd. If not will wing it. Need to start Letting others know about the BBQ so talk to your friends and family get the cars shined up and decide what you might bring to the BBQ. I'll Start the List With:

Allen & Melody Potato Salad and soda
nicdchris Said he would bring some soda awhile back if he can make it

Anyone else?

 

Bump!!

 

Hi guys

Is anyone going to go to the June 2nd BBQ?

 

I will at least show up and BS for a bit, if I get some backordered parts in time I will be in the mazda.

Isaac

 

I may make an apperince, so I can meet everyone, but not sure if I will participate with food.

We have a strong mazda group, but I am the only rx guy, is this an open mazda event or just an rotory event?

Leavenworth is this saturday!! We are meeting in the airway hieghts walmart/starbucks parking lot around 630-700am. And cruising over via highway 2!

Feel free to pm me for details or phone#

 

I would love to go but Monday-Tuesday is my weekend I work 12 hour shifts Saturday and Sunday

 

Well from the responce were getting, things aren't looking good. Come on guys it been what, 3 or 4 years sence we've done anything together, sure would be nice seeing everyone again and meeting the new people. What else can we do to make this work? Should be Just join Mazdas North West, I know there aren't meny of us out there. What do all of you think? Deena and Dave would really like your input too if you would like to give it.

 

Well It's Post Falls Days on June 2nd so all of the parks are full so that shoots down that Idea. Plus they want $200.00 to use a Gazebo for the day when there is nothing going on in the park. Well im frustrated how about you guys.

 

Yeah, $200 just for a place to cook some hotdogs is pretty unreasonable. We could always "just take over" some half-abandoned parking lot...

 

I think we should make this for a later date Allan...but make it maybe around the end of June, so everyone can have tons of notice, then get together and put our heads together before hand, as far as contacting some of the old peoples, and new of course. Just seems everyone is either too busy or wants to just pop in. A place is no problem, we can probably do it at our house again. Maybe pop by and we can compare and do some sorta something (planning). Maybe joining another group might be a good option.

 

if you haven't already check out the mazdasnw.com

Leavenworth turned out to be a great meet!! we had had about 7 rx-8, 1 FD, 1 fc, and even a rotory truck!! along with many mazdaspeeds 3/6 and regular 2,3,6's from show to performance builds we love them all!!

crap load of pictures on the fourms, but here is a video for what you guys missed

the next big event is put on by NWmotiv, called FourmFest!! in seattle area that is June 23'd

 

I believe Mission Park in Spokane has one. The park is also behind a Safeways, which is kind of nice for the forgotten items. INWR has met there before.

Ritzville has a nice park and it could make it easier for our central washington brethren to make it.

 

There are lots of rotary cars in the area that most dont know about and there are those who do. Years ago we had something pretty good going. The old bbq's we use to have in town here puts things like levenworth to shame.
Deena and Dave were the heart of the club in the area and did things that most took for granted and gave no appreciation for there efforts. I remember especially all the hard work and planning they did to get our club to apple blossom at wanatchee one year with our own hotel and personal mobile dyno and we all had a blast participating in the parade.
I have a buddy with a mobile dyno for rent so thats always a option later down the road if we ever could all get together again and make something worth while.
A few ideas i have is things like the accelerator car show. We can all enter and get together and have a blast at silverwood.
Or how about meeting at a lake resort like banks or hunters and camp in tents or have a evening bbq.
Or another idea would be all driving to a 7 stock or dgrr some time.

These are just some ideas im throwing out there. I am outgrowing the whole car thing slowly now that a house kids and wife all are priority and a two seater car with 500hp is basically pointless. But I still enjoy the car from time to time and I miss the big bbq's back in the day.
I agree with Code Blue 2 that we set a date and time at a reasonable place like maybe edgecliff park that has a patio and a long parking strip and lots of things to do for the little ones if needed.

 

I think that we should start small and get everyone in town back together and work from there and see where it goes. Its hard to expect people to travel for a first meet and not know if more than 3 cars will show up.
Edgecliff is a decent park. Its off of park rd south of appleway blvd and its FREE

 

Excelorater at silverwood didnt happen last year, and I havent seen or heard a peep about it this year. I am with silverfdturbo6port, start small, set a date and a place, and see who turns up

Side note hot import nights is comming to spokane raceway, sept 16.

 

Really?
Isnt IFO coming around that time? Are you mistaken?

 

your right its import face off, I was posting way to early LoL

 

Wow some enthusiasm, I love it! Thanks all of you, I was getting really
discouraged. Some great ideas floating around here. How dose the weekend of June 23 sound to everyone, the only reason I say that weekend is because Melody and I start our vacation the next weekend and we aren't sure if we we'll be in town or lost in the Montana mountains or somewhere else away form cell phones. With that said if it works out that the 30th is a better weekend for everyone we will be there rain or shine. I'm at work and have to leave for awhile BRB.

 

I am liking the 23rd (saturday) or even the 24th (sunday). I also have a few ideas, but need to confirm before I let them out into the wild.

 

Hay Richard you get another 7 or get the old one running.

 

Well so much for BRB from this morning. love all the ideas. Deena when is a good time to come by and talk with you and Dave.

 

No, I dont have one (yet). I do have a car that could be adequate for a funrun. (GM sedan)

 

if the 23rd works out for you guys do it, I will be in Seattle at forum fest, for that whole weekand
