Pigeon Forge Meet 2K4, (with 2k3 Pigeon Forge video!) Options

[EC_Knightrider]

For those that don't know, its in NorthEast Tennessee, just a few miles north of Knoxville

i know we have a long time ahead for the planning,
I think the meet should be held in june or july like last year,
i would like to have the meet start at a Autocross event,(we will figure out when they are having an event at that baseball field parkin lot), that way we can watch some runs/ race if u want to sorta thing, then after thats over, ride into pG and eat, then go into GB and ride around and take pics.......

i liked the Cabin we got last year, but we didn't have enuf beds.

that was a pretty nice place to meet up last year, in the big parking lot beside of fuddruckers, but we could always meet up at the Tanger Outlet mall there in case some people wanted to do some shoppin while we were there.

just leaving the floor up for suggestions!

awesome, the autox is a great idea, although personally id try to request for a july date because im still in school all of june. how many days are we wanting this meet to be? just a one day thing? cuz id like to see it be 2 days since id be driving nearly 10 hours each way.

[Cragspider]

Eric, getting started a little early are we? Anyway this is a good idea to get a feller for what people want to do. The Autox would be a cool place for some of us to meet up at especially the ones that stay the first night in the cabin. I know that Charlie had wanted to go cruzin more around Gatlinburg besides driving int he mountains. But if some of us want to go run the tail later on thats cool. Tim we can deffenatly make it a 2 day thing if some of us are wanting to stay and go drive in the mountains. But all I want to do is meet up with everybody, go for a drive, I would like to this time have a cookout at some place, maybe we could scout one out when we go hit up the tail some time before hand eric, gokarts are always a plus. I will deffenatly get a larger cabin this time so that we can have more beds. As for when it would be I would say around the same time, june or july. But preaty much do some of what we did last year but add some new things or change up the old ones.

[aaronc222]

I will definitely be there again. If all goes well I should have the days off needed to be there Fri this year.

Anyone coming from the south(FL, GA, AL) can meet here at my place(Chattanooga, TN). I'm about 2 hours from Knoxville(PF is just a hair east of Knoxville).

[Jussimple]

I hope I can make this one. I really hated missing the last one because of my stupid ace alignment problems. Keep the dates flexible. I'll just pray that I don't have any duties to attend to on the days of the meet.

[presure2]

[EC_Knightrider]

u know i will b there!! im goin to bring amy this time( i hope she can get off work)

[aaronc222]

I just can't wait. I've been watching the full vid again lately(being the owner of the cam that took most of the vids and all) and it just makes me want to go out and drive. Hopefully I can get some stuff fixed in time for the meet.

[afroman]

in the vid whos car is the red one with the gun metal wheels. they look like they are stock 5 spoke alloys. i think i have seen the car but im not sure.

[Mynzeyes]

if you're talkin about that one...it would be mine...and yes, they are stock 5star wheels, painted black. they HAVE been gun metal in the past, but they have been black for a little while now. .

-John-

[Mynzeyes]

or here's a more recent picture of it...



it better be done by the time the next meet rolls around...

-John-

[presure2]

man, im GONNA havta find the time to get down there....if its ANYTHING like last year, i dont wanna miss it!

[aaronc222]

Then you won't want to miss it. I have this crazy feeling that it will be better, and that no one will have flying lessons and wreck trying to make them.

[EC_Knightrider]

ill try not to kill my altenator like last time some how?

[Cragspider]

[Andason]

hmmm 14 hour drive. get this organized enough and i'll be in like flint

[EC_Knightrider]

i still can't believe the hype goin on about this meet!

people from all over are wanting to come!

just like the black hills corvette convention(started with just a few owners goin on camping trips) maybe it will only continue to grow because each year new people show up and it may sound cliche or whatever, but its people that you will keep in contact with for the rest of the days

[Drocay]

I can't get the vid. can any of u guys email it to me at Drocay@comcast.net or send it to me through msn.

Thanx.

[EC_Knightrider]

get on aol fellow VAn, and ill send it too ya only on highspeed tho, for its almost 60mbs

AIM EC Knightrider

i don't know which car i want to bring!
I may get my brother to come and bring his convertible! and then i would be tossed between the alltrac and the 94

[Cragspider]

Eric you are required to bring the Alltrac, we don't need any more black 6th gens.
Bryan

[Mynzeyes]

[PowellCelica]

Might be in a few months but i'm already looking forward to it BIG TIME! and starting to get ready by keepin the car clean actualy making plans to be off work lol and stuff like that.

[aaronc222]

[LatinKraze]

There's a lot of u guys out by TN. I feel all alone out here in NV.

[aaronc222]

Doesn't NV have the big Supra meet? Maybe someday we'll be that organized, but untill then we still have fun.

[EC_Knightrider]

hell yeah, the more the merrier i guess!

its a real laid back, so i don't think they will be any problems

[RedSunCelica]

can any one PM me an address on where the meet point may be at. i got a ton of vacation time i get to use next year so i might do the drive from san diego to check this out.

[aaronc222]

San Diego would be one heck of a trip. I don't have an exact address, but Pigeon Forge/Gatlinburg is about 30 minutes East of Knoxville, TN. So directions all the way to Knoxville would be the same.

I figured up a trip to Cali a couple years ago, and TN to CA was gonna take 3 days and cost around $150 in gas(each way). And that was when gas was $1.17 and I was getting 30 mpg.

[snadman]

12 hour drive from where I'm at but I'm in. If it's in July and over a weekend I'll be in for sure. I'll bring Celica and Supra.

[aaronc222]

[Redline_Racer]

hey is this a Private meet, or is anyone welcome? Cause Pigeon Forge is like 20 minutes away from me. I'll pitch in cash if needed for anything.



-Brandon

[Supersprynt]

[boosted_K2]

[Cragspider]

[Silver94CelicaOw...]

I'll have to look at the map and see how easy it would be to navigate there from Jersey...ever since i watched the video of last years meet i want to go in the worst way to meet up with you guys....it looked you had a real nice time.

[aaronc222]

[EC_Knightrider]

[Cragspider]

well the little bro wont be coming this time so we don't have to worry about him.
Bryan

[Andason]

[EC_Knightrider]

all kinds of fun stuff

[Mynzeyes]

let's try to NOT schedule this anywhere near the 12th thru 21st of June. otherwise, i won't be able to make it. .

edit: but don't let my schedule screw everyone else. .

[Cragspider]

Well I would like to have it back in early June again, however since it looks like we will be having mroe people that will be coming from a farther distance this time early July seems to be a better time. But if any of you all that are in the local area want to meet up some time in June let me know and we can work something out. So for now plan on it being in early July.
Bryan

[Redline_Racer]

Anytime is good for me. Are we gonna be running the cars at all haha?

[Einhander]

I'm am comming out to this one, don't know what i'll be driving yet, Maybe the celica and my new project car both.

[Uriel]

Man, I SO hope I can make it!!! 10hr drive for me as well, (hopefully my boss lets me off work). Just keep workin on the exact dates and I'll do my best! *note to self: MUST GO MUST GO MUST GO MUST GO*

[Redline_Racer]

Dude this is going to be awesome, how many people do you guys expect to show up!? I know I will be bringing my celica and probably some women . Hopefully I have a few mods done by then.


-Brandon

[aaronc222]

[jwells]

I'll definately be there, with my new (to me) 96 25th anniversary! So much of a step up from the 91 st that was falling apart.

I may even be able to get some rims on it by then. I'm looking at getting some 7th gen 5spokes. Is there a bad wheel gap on those w/ stock height?

[EC_Knightrider]

so how do u like the new ride?

can't believe at the number of 6th gens going to be there this time~!!!

[EC_Knightrider]

just some pics of the bunch last year


Group Shot


Coldiron b4 his autocross run



another shot

[jwells]

the new car is like night and day compared to the old one. Smoothe ride, the shift throw is about 50% less, clutch feels a hell of a lot better...

good suspension...nice paint..better sound system..sunroof.

the only negative I can think about is it has a little less headroom because of the sunroof, but I can deal with that. It just took me a while to find how I needed the seat positioned.

All I need now is to find some 7th wheels. Anyone know if those bolt right up? oh..that and a good waxing , but I'll wait till spring to do that.

I can't do anything like cai intake or headers, because of the warranty. But w/ 100,000 approaching on the car, the warranty will be nice if I need a timing belt or anything.

But yeah, If it's anything like last time w/ 6th gens, and me adding one more..it will be crazy.

[Cragspider]

Jwells, Josh is that you? Thats sweet that you finally got you a 6th gen. well the 7th gen wheels will fit. Ask coldiron if he still has his old rims and is wanting to sell them. I think that the 5th gens this time will be way out numbered. Oh and I haven't even posted over at c.net about the meet. So we will gather some more from there.
Bryan

[aaronc222]

Very nice purchase Jwells.
We might as well just call it a 6th gen meet since we outnumber the others at least 2:1.

[EC_Knightrider]

that could make some people not show up who otherwise would if it being a celica meet.......

that still may be the car i want to bring, but i don't know yet

[aaronc222]

[Cragspider]

[jwells]

cool man, do you have coldirons aim sn??

[Hym3n]

I'm very interested. It'd be about a 14 hour drive, but I think I can make it worthwhile if..

We make some kind of flyer (generic black and white) that advertises the meet, what we're doing, things you should bring.. basically just an informative brochure, but on one page. There's two-three other 6gen's at my school, and a few (about 4) more that I've tracked down in local cities. Also a few 5gen's I see every now and then (one on my street), and 2-3 more 7gen's at my school. So I'm thinking that if we made a really simple flyer (after getting some good dates setup, etc), I can run some copies of it on different colored paper and stuff, and put them on the other Celica's I see windshield, try and bring them up there with me. The more the merrier I suppose, and that would encourage other people going to do a similar thing and invite their friends with Celicas as well.

Sounds good to me, and the sooner the better for most people (especially, well, if we're going to be coming from a long ways away).

And, this is open to other generation Celicas right? (don't want people to get mad at me for bringing 5th/7th gen's..)

-Brian

[Mynzeyes]

open to celicas. all gens. .

[Uriel]

[oOoHuY]

i live in houston tx how far is that away?

[Hym3n]

Some people just need to learn: http://maps.yahoo.com has the solution to all of your problems.

You're 5hrs from me, and 14hrs 41min from Pigeon Forge.

-Brian

[boosted_K2]

talking the girlfriend into going is a pain in the ass right now... lol... i may be comming alone haha

[Sev408]

IM IN! 7 hours of fun in games on the way
I live just south (25minutes) from DC. Maybe some of us could hook up on the way down as stated before?


As long as its after beach week because im not missing that....

But by then ill have my kit on and my tranny swap will be done along with some other stuff I cant wait to check out some other rides, eh hum sound slut if your doors are missing hinges in the morning look for me.

[EC_Knightrider]

cool

i think there may be alot comin down from johnson city by the time summer time comes around and i put lil fliers on there cars! haha

[jwells]

I'm gonna try to get out some flyers here, too...

only prob is most celi's around here are beat to hell daily drivers, not many look like an owner that would care.

[PlanetFuzz]

you know!!!! I'll be there...yes,I notice that also,I see alot of sixth gens,but they have bird crap on them maybe 5 years old...good idea though,especially since I am only 1 hour from pigeon forge

[jwells]

hey man, where in knoxville are you?

[WBW_031]

How about meet in the fall at the fall rod run?

[Cragspider]

never heard of it. Oh by the way, the date that I have been looking at is the 10th of july, which is the same weekend as the NOPI drags at Bristol.
Bryan

[aaronc222]

Sounds good to me. But then again, I'll be there no matter what date everyone decides is good.

[EC_Knightrider]

in my opinion the bristol nopi show does have its advantages, being a drag race competition, but i wouldn't have the meet the same weekend as the drags

[Cragspider]

Eric, you bring up a good point about it. Also the rates on cabins in July is more expensive than in June. So lets plan it for the weekend of the 26th 27th of June.
Bryan

[EC_Knightrider]

yeah man, that sounds good !!!
