Day of events

Outside Parking Lot Meet:

We will all meet outside in the parking lot of Jillian’s for some sharing of knowledge, troubleshooting, and showing each other’s modifications that have been done to our RX-8.

Bringing The Party Inside:

We will start with a glow in the dark night bowling tournament and play in pairs, so bring your girlfriend, wife, or a friend. We will rent one to two lanes depending on the amount of people that give a definite R.S.V.P. The tournament is for a grand prize of two Jadatoys RX-8 die cast cars found at this link: http://www.jadatoys.com/images/18-RX-8-Silver.jpg so check it out! There will be one car for each teammate on the winning team.

After the tournament we will all enjoy dinner at Jillian’s Video Café. This is the link for the menu: http://www.jillians.com/Menu.asp. We are not encouraging any alcohol consumption due to the fact that we will all be driving, and I’m sure no one would want to mess up their life, others lives, or their pretty little RX-8.

After dinner we can all play some video games and have fun for the remainder of the day.

What To Bring

First and foremost, please bring some warm clothes because we will most likely be outside talking about and showing cars for more than a half hour, and we all know that the end of November on the East Coast is cold. Everyone is asked to bring enough money to cover the cost of bowling, which will run at an estimated price of $10.00 per person. I will give you an exact price upon your R.S.V.P. I am still working with the Jillian’s event coordinating department on a better price. Everyone will also need to bring money to cover his or her share of food; it is entirely up to you to determine how much you will eat. A fee of $7.00 will be asked of per person attending this meet to cover the pool for the Jadatoys RX-8 Grand Prize. Please take in to consideration that I am one person coordinating this event and if I had the extra funds I would pay for the prizes, but I don’t, thank you for your support in this meet.

When and Where to R.S.V.P.

Please contact Brian at RedhotRX8@yahoo.com or you can call him at (516) 661-7970
We need all R.S.V.P. responses by November 19, 2004. Links

Al, you wont have to make those long rides to NJ/PA now!

 

Heh true, since is 20 mins from my house :p. But I didn't mind the long trips, don't often get to push the car in the pothole filled highways here. Coming back from the last meet in PA, I tested out the car's speed on the NJ Tpke....fun and still had enough gas to spare. But once I entered NY, *poof* the needle instantly fell to E and the speedometer was at 60 and below . Oh wellz!!

Thanks Chino, glad to see another 8 owner around that we haven't met. As long as everyone just lets me know if they are a definate by Nov. 19th, then it looks like we have enough people already to make this meet happen. All I need is 8 people or more, and we are good. I might set up a paypal payment for the prize pool money, I'll let everyone know, it's 7 buck per person, not much to spare for the nice little prize you could win.

 

I think I'll be able to come to this meet.

Wondering why we are bowling for the prize. Wouldn't it be more appropriate to use one of the networked video games to compete in an auto race? I haven't been to Jullian's in Westbury but the Farmingdale one has an 8-seat Nascar race that's a lot of fun to compete against.

 

cool, seems like it's going to be a good turnout.

Ok looking good. This is the deal, I need payments for the prize from each person, not each couple, per person attending the event. The cost is 7 bucks and that will cover the shipping, handling, and the product itself. We can do 1 of two things you guys let me know, but I need the payment by the 17th of this month. I can have you guys pay with paypal, which I don't really like because they are hack friendly or you guys can send payment through the mail, personal check, money orders, whatever you guys want to do. I have great feedback on this forum, and I'm under the name brl121212 at Ebay, with 42 positive 100% feedback. Just please let me know what you would like to do by this weekend, thanks again.

 

I'm not going to know whether I can make it until that weekend. That being the case, I guess I won't participate in the prize stuff. I'd still like to (possibly) show up for the rest. Is that okay?

 

i'll see what happens, i'd like to get up to see you guys tho.

.02$

 

Ok this is the deal, I decided that I'm not going to have anyone send paypal payments of 7 bucks for the prize. I know that there are enough people definately going to this meet. So, if everyone could please bring an extra 7 bucks PER PERSON if you are going to participate in the tournament at this meet. I'll pick up the prizes and collect the money at the meet on Nov. 28th. See you guys there, I'll post the Saturday before.

Brian

QUICK POLL

GO OR NO

I need everyone that was planning on attending tomorrow's meet to give me a vote please; GO or NO. The weather is going to be really bad tomorrow and it is all starting tonight. Now we will be inside, although we will not be able to show each other's mods and such outside due to the weather. I don't know if it will clear up tomorrow afternoon or if it going to rain all day and night. Also, I don't know how many of you are ok with taking your car out in bad weather. I would rather postpone the meet until next Sunday the 5th and hope for better weather.

Please post a vote by 12 midnight tonight 11.27.04 if there are not enough responses by tonight I will take it as a "yes" that the meet will go down tomorrow.
Thanks,
Brian

NO

.02$

 

Yea.. Im in with them, I say no go until better weather.

my vote: No

 

Ok that's 4 cofirmed "NOs" me and Joe are the other 2 so I'll wait until 12midnight like I said but it's looking like next Sunday is gonna be the day. I'll post an official reschedule later. Thanks for the quick response.

 

I'm ok with a rescheduling, rain always messes up everything.
