First of all, rx7club, thanks again SO MUCH! You guys have shown a great deal of support, which is why I'm back again for another meet! Please, make it a point to voice your opinion over on Zilvia, as that's where the majority of the discussion will be taking place!

Hella NorCal BBQ Crew - Meet #3 Discussion

Alright, we locked up the last thread, and we'll make this the open discussion for the THIRD installment of the Hella NorCal BBQ Crew meets.

I've had a great time at the past two, and I hope the feeling is mutual for all of you, too. I feel like there's been a lot of learning on my part, too, as far as organizing a good meet for y'all. Not to say that #1 was a flop, but #2 was a lot of fun hanging out all together.

We also got a handful of people driving up from the Bay Area, which I thought was awesome!

I want to pass the torch for a moment to you guys and get some constructive ideas for the next meets...

What do you want from a meet?
What would be the best way to organize food?
Do you want huge speedbumps?
Should we find a park we can frequent, or keep moving and drop a flag in every Sacramento area city?
Which car makes should the meet be open to (previous meets have held mostly Mazda and Nissan/Datsun, though we did have a few Infinity, Subaru and Toyota friends!)
How would you like parking to be regulated/enforced/set up?

Bigger questions, would you guys prefer to purely hit parks, or do you guys want to start making friends with shop owners and see if we can lay down some heavy numbers at someone's place of business (MIGHT have a venue open for meets on a easy, consistant basis)?

Obviously a new run of stickers is in the making, and will be making a return appearance, since you guys ate them up so quickly! Thank you again for all the interest and the generous donations from those that dropped for me!

What kinds of colors would you guys want for the next run? Please take a look at the following link for the color chart. The top "group" of colors are what you have to choose from. No metalic/flake colors as they will NOT stand up to the sun. The vinyl we used for the past run is the top group of colors on the charts, and they will hold up MUCH better to UV.

Any requests for the next design? They will be a "banner" style, probably around 8" long or so. The idea is that quarter windows on 240sx's and many other cars are so small/short, you can't run decent vinyl in that area. I want to capitalize on that so most everyone can find a place for the epic design to display proudly.

Let the discussion begin!!

One thing I was thinking about doing between now and the next meet is setting up a RPM track day. Think you can beat me around the track? You probably can... but prove it!

I know y'all are a bunch of broke ************* with broken cars, but if there's a fair amount of interest, it'd be fun to rent the track out and do some Outlaw Sprint races! $48 per person (need between 8 and 10 people), and you get a 10 lap qualifying and 60 lap race... Heyo race time!! Take a peep at race prices and see what y'all like, or toss your own ideas out!

yea why not RPM sounds fun and i say white (for me since i got tint on my hatch where all these are going to go) and since pink was so popular i would say you get more of those

 

I'm down for the outlaw sprint races

 

Well whatever happens I'm down!

 

looks like ill be bringin the crowd with me again, and my car this time!

 

you did bring a lot of people with you no doubt about it

 

TENTATIVE:

Hella NorCal BBQ Crew vs. RPM
June 22 (Monday), 8:00pm MEET, 8:30-9:00pm RACE START

Please post up if you can FOR SURE make it or you MAYBE can make it. If we have enough interest, we'll make it official, and see who's the best at RPM! The nice thing about Mondays is that they combine both small tracks into one big track, which is a lot more fun!

We'll PROBABLY be doing Hot Laps (10 minute sessions) because it's fairly short notice, and they're cheap/fun. If you've never been before, it's $5.00 for a head sock, which you'll need to be able to race. Then it's $24.00 per Hot Lap session. OR you can sign up for a membership, which costs $10.00, and you get a FREE head sock, and it knocks the price down to $20.00 per Hot Lap session. Also, as a member, you can buy a "two session" pack, which gives two Hot Laps for $38.00.

Seems like an easy choice to me, the membership basically pays for itself after one race...

Next time we go, we might have to plan for some Outlaw racing... $48.00 per person (need a minimum of 8 people, maximum of 10), and it's 1x10 lap qualifier, and 1x60 lap race. Fun!

RACE PLACE MOTORSPORTS

 

why on a monday?

 

bigger track?

and sean im going to see if my schedule doesnt change then yea i should be able to make it out

 

Like I said, Mondays are when they combine both tracks into one big track.

This won't be like the other "car shows/BBQ's" that I've set up. This is just a local "get together and kick it" thing, and most of the time will be spent inside. I don't expect anybody to come from the Bay Area, this is a meet for Sac locals to chill and maybe kick some ideas around for the next Hella NorCal BBQ Crew meet.

 

im trying to figure out when im going to have the money for my rebuild im guessing 2 1/2- 3 months before i get the money if i can manage 900 a month if im lucky which really sucks because that seems way to far off for me i hope i get financial aid so then i can get it sooner i think im going to have ben do the street port when it comes time for 200 more

 

I believe on Tuesday now its 2 For 1 now :O at RPM...I saw it in their promotions part of the website

 

for 140 you can drive till you drop if you look under promo section its the last one

 

I'm usually exhausted after 2~3 races...Iono how those lil girls that race at rpm have so much stamina already haha

 

practice lol

 

bump

 

Well my car is fixed as of this morning, so I will for sure be in attendance for RPM on Monday. I will be there around 8, racing will start around 8:30 or 9pm.

See you guys there!

Just a reminder, this is NOT the official BBQ Crew meet, just a fun place to kick it and hang out.

 

I might show jus to kick it as well...or maybe race If I find cash
