[QUOTE=sakimano;157652]we could have that JHM/FastIntentions vs. Giac/Stasis race....QUOTE]

will we ever see this happen? i want to be invited

sakimano

absolutely. I'm always keen to test the car against another. Especially GIAC cars

How's your piggies + JHM tune doing? Are you 91 or 93?

Hey folks just got the message. Would love to have made it but I just got home. I'm looking forward to the Ice race.

sakimano

why, is the meet over at 8?

PhinX404

No one showed up at all. I stayed 30 mins in case new members came out. Crap event

sakimano

I showed up at 830. Nobody home.

As far as 'meets' in the dead of winter, I'd suggest getting a more focused meet...i.e. a reason to incent folks to leave their igloos. Going to Kelseys to sit inside feels backwards to me, hence the reason I've skipped most of them. I like the events with a purpose, like the photoshoot or vagcom night or country drive/race night. Those are always well attended...while the 'hang out in a restaurant night' are often a bit tougher to get excited about.

Of course I do nothing to help/organize any of this so I should just shut my piehole, but just giving my two cents on what at least one guy is thinking.

As for other ideas:

1. dragstrip day in the spring. I reckon Cayuga will open around late March/early April. The cold weather test and tune days were dead in the fall. Hopefully they're equally quiet in the spring and we can tear it up unfettered by hordes of ricers

2. rolling shot photoshoot meet here in the winter would be cool. Takes 3 people to make 1 rolling shot photo (2 drivers, 1 photographer) so a meet would be the perfect way to do it. There are enough of us with dSLR cameras that we could make that work.

3. vagcom meet in the spring - always popular, and a few guys with TPMS could get that re-activated if they de-activated it for their winter setup

4. spring drive - I loved that rip we went on through the halton hills. Let's do that again. There's a google map for a 'Hamilton Nurburgring' which is a nice long drive mapped out by the Scooby club. We could have a look at that. Maybe find a great spot to take some drive by photos/video while we're at it.

5. 4.2 exhaust meet - there are a bunch of guys with B6/7 S4s/RS4s and it's nice to get a group together. One thing many guys want to hear is what aftermarket exhaust solutions sound like, so we could get a bunch of cars together and all check out the different sounds in a controlled environment, vs. random youtube videos with different microphones etc. We could even get a decibel meter app for an iphone user to measure...make one HD video of all setups. This would then be a great resource for the forum to have this video on here so guys could just be referred to it stickied somewhere when the inevitable 'which exhaust should I get' question comes up

I enjoy both but I do prefer meets with a purpose as well. That said, the reason I haven't come out much on Tuesday evening meets is that it's my guy's poker night.

Agree meet with a purpose. I already hang out with my buddy's one night a week. I don't want to turn into a chicken wing.

sakimano

i.e. the purpose of 'dusting' my B7?
