Central Indiana meet

Post by **elwesso** » Sat Aug 23, 2003 3:11 pm

Well...... It all depends on what you want to happen.....

If youd wanna just chill and talk to people, then anderson would be just fine...... There's a state park, we could all go and chill there......

I NEED MORE INPUT!!!

A road track would be cool, and so would muncie drag strip, but you got keep in mind that the tracks are only open certian dates. So if we are set on October 11th. Maybe we should just hang out somewhere. Also does anybody know of any autocross events that sunday, or does anybody here autocross at all? I think that would be fun.

Post by **elwesso** » Sat Aug 23, 2003 3:11 pm

I wouldnt be into that....... I wouldnt necessarily mind doing the drag........

Post by **rydwhite** » Sat Aug 23, 2003 3:11 pm

I'm not going to be going onto a track yet, but I wouldn't mind watching everyone else. I like the idea of hanging out at the park and then maybe heading over to the track. Which park is up there? I could probably do any saturday in October except the 25th, so if you want to change the date that is fine by me. The only prob with the park is that people will have to pay to get in. I think it is only $4 for Indiana state parks though, not much.

Sounds like we should find out what days Muncie dragstrip is open, doesn anybody know if they have a website?

i dont even know what its called....... I didnt even know muncie HAD a dragstrip until this thread!!

There are pleanty of parks around here (good ones) that are free...... There's one that overlooks a pond, and the magnificent white river

........

I don't think finding a good park should be hard. Heck there's plenty in Plainfield(southwestern suberb of indy) if you guys want to come here. We could cook out. thats always fun.

Post by **EricZ103** » Sat Aug 23, 2003 3:11 pm

I know this kinda off topic, but i just that you have a super coupe mr1der. A good friend of mind has one too. If the meets close to where we live he might even come.

The last few meets have been "track" related.It might be a good change of pace to have a park cook out.then maby a country road cruse.Jst throwing out some ideas.

BTW: the further south the better the turn out will be.

Post by **krazy skwerel** » Sat Aug 23, 2003 3:11 pm

I would love to see an autocross thrown in.

Post by **rydwhite** » Sat Aug 23, 2003 3:11 pm

I like the idea of just a park and cook out. If people wouldn't mind paying a little, we could reserve a pavilion at one of Indiana's fine state parks. Or we could just find a park somewhere and set up shop. In Indy, the best parks I can think of are Eagle Creek or Southweastway. Eagle costs a little to get into, but it is big and very accesible to everyone. Southeastway is free, but is a little harder to get to. I don't know about the Muncie and Anderson area. Further south, there are more state parks that we could go to. There are the staples of Brown County or Spring Mill, but they will be packed in October. A city park would be nice. In northern Indy there is Fort Ben. I haven't been there, but to play golf, but I hear that it is nice. I am sure that the Noblesville and Fishers areas have nice parks.

I guess it depends on turn out like jezter said. More will come if the meet is south. I don't know how far south he is thinking though. South of Indy? South, like Bloomington?

Post by **elwesso** » Sat Aug 23, 2003 3:11 pm

I dont wanna drive that far....... Bloomington that is.......

But there are parks here for free that are easy to get to, big open spaces and whatnot........

The difference between anderson and indy is only about 30 mins........ Muncie is even farther........

Personally, Id rather just hand out, eat, and look at cars........!

Post by **jEzTeR** » Sat Aug 23, 2003 3:11 pm

I was thinking "South" as in the south side of Indy.A 30 min drive past Indy wouldn't be that bad either.You guys do some scouting on the park of choice.A Free one would be best if someone could get there early and reserve some spots.We could all bring some food (chips,2-liters,meat,condiments,ECT...) Keep the ideas comming!;)

Hehe, where were you in June? We had an autocross near Columbus, Indiana that was with the SCCA. Even had our own class and awards. That was a little too hardcore for some, but there were a few of us that had a good time with it.

Wes, you live less than 30 minutes away from me. I'm in Noblesville. Straight shot across 32 and I'm in Anderson. We need to get together for a beer soon!

Ft. Ben is a neat area. I think we should do it there. Cold_Zero can scope it out since he lives next door and his dad used to work there. It would be easy access for everyone since it's on the East Side and NOT in the ghetto.

Muncie Dragway

It looks like amatuer night is on Wednesdays.

A cook out would rock.

Post by **jEzTeR** » Sat Aug 23, 2003 3:11 pm

weekdays don't work too well for most people.

I am voteing for the cook out idea.After the cook out we might be able to plan something else though.

Post by **elwesso** » Sat Aug 23, 2003 3:11 pm

Ok........ Weekdays are no good (highschool for me).........

LOL, see thats what I get for never checking the meets section. Now it's the first section I come too.

I think that Ft Ben would be really good. There is alot of room and it is a little further south for the Kentucky folk than Anderson. It is easy to get to from the interstate as well. Just a cookout and shizzy like that would be great in my opinion. Bring a football and get a game going. Just my opinion though.

Post by **Repo Man** » Sat Aug 23, 2003 3:11 pm

Werd. I'm down with the clown but I'll probably have to work if it's the 11th. I'll be off at 6, so we'll have to have an evening activity.

Post by **elwesso** » Sat Aug 23, 2003 3:11 pm

Alright....... Vote time......

Two options..... Shadyside in anderson, Ft ben in indy, or Morse park in Noblesville....... They are all gonna be about 25mins with each other, less if your not a law abiding citizen!!

Post by **rydwhite** » Sat Aug 23, 2003 3:11 pm

I have only been to Ft. Ben, so I don't know what the other parks have to offer otherwise. Can you fill us in on what there is to do otherwise at the parks. Such as hiking, or fields for frisbee or football, something along those lines.

Actually it really doesn't matter to me which park. I am up for any of them. Ft. Ben is closer to me, but I don't mind an extra couple of minutes drive.

Post by **rydwhite** » Sat Aug 23, 2003 3:11 pm

I just registered with the g35 driver forum. I see taht there are about 4 g's on there board that are in the Indy area. I will see if any are interested in the meet in central indy. Let me know when we have dates and locations finalized.

Post by **elwesso** » Sat Aug 23, 2003 3:11 pm

This meet is going to be pretty laid back, IE there isnt going to be much planned activites...... except eating times (that is the most important)......

I still have some final preparations to make, and then Ill post a new thread with all the final details........

Post by **rydwhite** » Sat Aug 23, 2003 3:11 pm

Sounds good to me. Hopefully there will be a few people show up other just me. It's not much of a meet if there are only 2 or 3 people.

Ryan

Post by **elwesso** » Sat Aug 23, 2003 3:11 pm

I am awaiting an email from Repo....... Then the final things we'll be made......

Just so you all know, if we did it here in Anderson, there's a junkyard just a few minutes away from a place we may go.........

Post by **Repo Man** » Sat Aug 23, 2003 3:11 pm

Wes, you've got mail. Ryan, I may have to work October 11th, so what would you think about coordinating this meet with Wes? I'll be free after 6p if I do have to work.

I mentioned Ft. Ben in my email to Wes, as it would be a lot easier for the people from Cincy, Louisville and further south than a more northern location. I'll leave it up to you guys though, but if there is anything I can do to help, I will.

I just realized that that is the weekend that I will be white water rafting in West Virgina.:alcoholic

I will still promote the meet as much as I can though.

Post by **elwesso** » Sat Aug 23, 2003 3:11 pm

Id like as many people to come, is there a date that'd be better:??
