Next GTA Meet In Belleville ??
Wow did Dan ever blow us away with coming all the way from Belleville to meet with the 8 Family. Just thinking, maybe we should make Dan's day and put Belleville on the map. Can you imagine all those sweet 8's cruising along the 401, then turning off at Front St. down to Dundas St. in beautiful Belleville.
Mapquest says it's 128 miles from Brampton .. travel time 2hrs 10 minutes.
Dan could meet us in Trenton and lead the way..
He'd show us the hot spots, maybe even take us fishing. Food for thought ...
I'd love a Saturday or Sunday day trip. The Easter weekend (add Friday to the list) is a possibility and it's coming up. Not sure if you guys go to church or not .. Let's get out of the box and see where this idea takes us ...
Dan can you get a group rate for a cheap motel in Belleville ?
One that loves the smell of high octane, rubber and music...
That's another possibility...
Or have a race and see who makes it back to TO first ...
Oh yea .. we won't hear from Dan for a bit as he's off to his Bike Meet in Florida.. Lucky guy .. gets to see those short skirts before we do.. Damn it Dan, I should have given you my ZZ Top "Legs" CD so you could play it @MAX while driving along the beach

lol After reading that, I am laughing to myself out loud. Mic, that sounds like a cool idea. I would be up for something like that. if we were to do it, we should all meet before the trip and all cruise together. That would look so cool on the hiway. lets try to get more opions.

It Is A Cool Idea ...
Hey Helas ... if it's just you and me ... sure that wouldn't happen .. hell I'm even prepared to do it solo .. we'd look and drive like bandits on the 401 .. think of the fun and looks we'd get.. ( love your red big time !!) then we'd hook up with Dan and put Belleville on the map .. You missed one hell of a show by him...
You and Dan can play stereo and both scream your 8s sideways for the fans there .. Sooooooo who else is in ??

Easter weekend is out for me as its a big event for my family. Besides, its the wife's birthday too that weekend. I can actually go BUT I would need to pack a few bags for that one day trip and not plan on coming back home for a few years till the wife settles down.
But Ya, I'm interested in doing that. Since Shannonville track is out there, we could try to wrap that into the trip as well, but the weather will have to be better i.e. May/June.

Sounds interesting, tough on easter weekend though. About getting on the track, can we get enough guys out to offset the price enough to make it affordable? Some pricing info here http://www.shannonville.com.

Well...... we could get the rx-7 guys and the protege club in on it and im sure that would bring the cost down. The only exception is the distance. We got lots of time to plan it. BUT I'M SO IN FOR THAT!

Tracks get booked fast... but they'll still have some days free... The problem is getting enough people interested in the idea...
I know alot of the RX-7 guys would love to come... But everything depends on schedules and budgets!
I'm up for some track time... Hopefully my car will feel the same way...
Lates,

It's only offered once a year on the Easter weekend.....I haven't been able to convince anyone to go with me. Any takers? Send me a PM.

Stevo67, it sounds like a great idea! A great way to get some safe track time with proper instructions; especially for those with no experience on the track. Can you find out how many spots are still available that weekend? I would be interested if I could get the time off (scheduled to work those days) and will have to see if I could get coverage.

Anyway, sounds like a great course whether you are going to race or just want to improve your driving skills....it would be great to get 5 or 6 RX-8s out there together! I'll get in contact with Katia tonight to find out how many spots are available and if we can negotiate a group rate. I'll post back on this thread tomorrow.

Im most likely going to rent the track with some friends in the spring time, either shannonville or dunnville. Just a warning to most people, its better to spend $80 each, and run the track with fewer people then getting such a huge group....last thing i want is an idiot on the track beside me....

Going to Belleville isn't the problem... The problem is doing something in Belleville! LOL :D
Last time I was there I was attending the Bridgestone Racing school at Shannonville... Belleville only has 1 strip joint! That's it! The rest are restaurants! LOL
I wouldn't mind going when the weather is nicer... I've had too many bad experiences with long distances in inclement weather...
Otherwise, I'm up for it...

taking a course is fine. obviously your going to have to do it with other people. I was just commenting that its better when renting a track out for fun, to not have as many people, especially if you dont know them. Good luck at the school, after that, im sure you'll be ready for the track!

The Fun Is In The Drive...
Neo .. to me it's not about Belleville ... then again Dan may prove us wrong..
It's the drive there and back with our sweet cars passing all those Sunday drivers saying... what the heck are those things... and how lucky are those guys...
