I'm trying to put together something to watch the BMW CCA Club Race.
Practice, Qualifying, 2 races in between their driving school.
Plenty of room.

i was thinking that one day, WE ALL, and i mean the entire people registered here (on 318ti.org) *in the U.S of coarse* meet at some point. Set up a date so that everyone has a long time to prepare. That'll be crazy and fun. So it will be like what? 50 TI's in 1 parking lot? im serious we should do this one day. START SAVING UP SOME MONEY! haha.

How about, Summer of 2007 we meet in the middle of the country?? Its a over a year to prep, and for people to fix up there Ti's. People who already live in the middle are lucky on gas. :shakefis:

St. Louis?

"tis under the arch" Summer '07

I'd gladly make the drive if we could get the majority of the US owners there....

How about you guys come here to los angeles :tongue: If we do plan this, we need to call a local hotel, and ask for a massive discount since we might be getting about 40 rooms in one time, haha.

It wouldn't be fair to the west coast guys to have to pay 1/2 the fuel cost to us east coast guys for driving all the way across the country while you guys just drive down the block...

If we ALL meet, it has to be in the center of the country. I believe the exact center is a bit south of St. Louis, MO, but a decent sized city offers decent sights, night-life and (as you mentioned) hotel space. Close to a track could be very cool if we could get the track for the day too...

I've ben to St. Louis already (old girlfriend drove out there, and I tagged along for the ride), and it's pretty cool.

Anyone else with a reasonable idea??

You should all come to RI on July 3rd & 4th. Sit at my house on the water,drink some beers and watch the fireworks. The whole sky is light up,you can see them in Newport,Warwick,Seekonk,Providence and a couple other cities all from my yard. Bon fires galore going up all the beaches around me. It so crazy down by me they have Rent A Cops at the gate and won't allow outsiders come in,only the people who live in Gasspee point can come in. Unless you meet them at the gate to get them in.

Kind of off topic here but last summer i could hear the cars racing at the Seekonk Speedway from my house,kept on hearing the cars go through the turns and i'm like 30 miles away from there. Cross water anyways.

J!m 01-28-2006 04:22 AM

Thanks for the invite!

Remind me when we get closer to the date- I also have some nice fireworks to contribute...

I used to mtn. bike every weekend out in RI. My friend used to own Bald Hill Mtn Bikes by the mall (maul). His dad took it over for a while; now I have no idea if tit's there, and if so who is running it...

Gas is a bunch cheaper to RI vs. St. Louis...

I'll probably have a BBQ at some point over the summer, so keep an eye out for that!!!

Tyler 01-28-2006 05:00 AM

Bald Hill thats in the woonsocket area right? I work up at the cvs corp office and i think it's right around the corner from there,i think. I'll be up in that area tomorrow morning to help a co-worker move.

Juni 01-28-2006 05:28 AM

Im down for that RI meet! I'll bring some beers.

J!m 01-28-2006 05:28 AM

I don't remember exactly where...

HuGo 01-28-2006 12:03 PM

Cali to RI would take me like 5 days to drive. People who live in the center would get to st loius easy with less gas, hehe. Lets all meet in canada. Who ever lives close is like who isnt, to bad. LOL just kidding. But it would be great if everyone meets up in one day. Im pretty sure the people that dont like me would love to beat my as$ lol. Ill put up a good fight dont trip. Nah i dont want to fight. Just hang out. Im thinking, 1 straight line of 40 TI's at once. Hondas and other cars well be scratching their heads like WTF?? :confused2 But like i said, we got a year and 6 months to save money for this. I was also thinking that we all post where we live, and well find out a city to make it even for everyone. Lets say for example also, the people who live here in cali, me and the other cali ppl can gather at one spot in cali, and we can drive as a group to the location. So yea, we can all figure out for everyone to have an even drive so that everyone is kool with out. The other option is, for those closer to the location and have to drive maybe 12 hours, can hook up the other ppl who need to drive for 3 days on the gas :mrhappy: No more high school for me, and im looking foward to doing this. And if ur TI's is crashed, then rent a tow truck, lol jk.

can we get a text version of the latitude and longitude of everyone in North America on the google map and do an average? That would put us in the center of the ti population.
