PITTSBURGH, PA SHOW.........., TRACK AND MOVIE MEET........ APRIL 21ST Options

[robdrummer]

IMPORTANT!!!!!!!!!
TALKED TO DG TODAY AND WE HAVE A DATE OF APRIL 21ST. THERE IS A NEW CAR MOVIE COMING OUT AND WE GOING TO HAVE AN OLD SCHOOL MEET AT LOWES I GUESS. HOPE THAT WORKS OUT FOR ALL OF YOU GUYS...

EDIT....... PLZ READ IMMEDIATELY!!!!!!!!!!!!

Here's whats going down.

Anybody who wants to meet up at 70 and 51 has to be there by 10:30. that is what time me and dave will be rolling threw. everyone else who doesn't want to meet there can meet at the track

The gates open at 11am
We are all going to meet there by 11:30
test and tune is from 12-5
even if ya dont race your car it is still really cool to see all the high hp cars fly down the track.
then we drive to a resturant and get some grub
hang out for a while and chat
drive to the movie theatre as a group again (hopefully with more car people from the track)
catch a 9ish o'clock movie
hang out after the movie and talk untill everyone decides to leave.

so it would be like a 12 hour all day meet!

here is the link to the raceway....it is just off Rt22
http://www.pittsburghracewaypark.com/Directions/index.php

Track address if you want to do driving directions:
Pittsburgh Raceway Park
538 Stone Jug Rd
New Alexandria, Pa 15670

Anyone coming from the east or just taking the turnpike in general....
From the I76 turnpike you would get off the New stanton exit and get on I70 east for 2 seconds and follow me.... that would be the way i would be going to the track.
It would be sweet for all of us local people to meet at 10am, drive up to the turnpike and meet up with the people traveling and then all drive up there as a giant group. That would make some nice crusin pics and videos!!
I cant wait !!!!!!!!

Steve, your car has never been ready for a meet so what are you talking about
I hope some philly people make at least one pitts meet this year.(hint) i have been out there 2 times and the only person to make it out this way was Def from NY. Jeff you are my man!

The meet will most likely follow the old meet ideas...
meet up in south park
Hang out
drive around a little
grillin outside, lunch and tag football, or hooters in pittsburgh if we are in the area from driving
movie in the evening at lowes theater
hang out at night till everyone goes home

I will have more info when it gets closer to actually hapening but i hope to see a bunch of new faces this year. All cars are welcome as long as the people driving the rides are cool.

[Consynx]

[DG_Performance]

I just went on pittsburgh raceway parks web site and the 14th happens to be test and tune!!!! maybe that could be part of the meet if anyone else is interested???
just a thought....

[jason]

[Consynx]

this is approaching real fast, i doubt my car will be done.

but for those of you willing to make a trip the college i go to is having a little car-ish weekend
friday is a small car show. usually more like a chill, depending on when/how they advertise, might make for a good showing
sat is Lewis Black on campus, though iunno if tickets will still be avail
sun is auto-x at the campus.

this is the weekend of the 20th for anyone interested.
-Erie, PA.

[jason]

[OrbitalGT95]

I just went on pittsburgh raceway parks web site and the 14th happens to be test and tune!!!! maybe that could be part of the meet if anyone else is interested???
just a thought....

I'm deff down for something like this

[DG_Performance]

Does anyone else want to have the beginning part of the meet at the track? even if you just go to watch it would be fun.... to run is 15-20 bucks and only 5 to watch so it is not expensive and we might even pick up more people there to hang out with us??? we could do a late night movie to end the meet. either way i am ready to hang out and see some nice cars!

[robdrummer]

i'm up for some track time.. what a proper way to send off a clutch lol

[jason]

any times set for all of this? i took off work on friday so me n my cousin are prolly gonna chill in oakland into saturday, also anyone driving from eastern pa wanna meet up somewhere on the turn pike?

[robdrummer]

Dave know's where the track is so he can supply directions... probably be around 12....

hey steve i saw ur sc today. looking good bro

[DG_Performance]

The gates open at 11am
test and tune is from 12-5
even if ya dont race your car it is still really cool to see all the high hp cars fly down the track.
then we drive to a resturant and get some grub
hang out for a while and chat
drive to the movie theatre as a group again (hopefully with more car people from the track)
catch a 9ish o'clock movie
hang out after the movie and talk untill everyone decides to leave.
Does that sound good??
so it would be like a 12 hour all day meet!

here is the link to the raceway....it is just off Rt22

I cant wait !!!!!!!!

So Rob, who are the for sure people in on this(fix up the list)?...
And please update the first post with all this info if it is cool with everyone esle????

[robdrummer]

So dave, what going on with the local people how did you want to configure that. i think thats a great idea meeting up all together but we need to come up with a good local start point for us.

[DG_Performance]

Well...? hum ?
how about at the intersection of Rt51 and I70. Those are the 2 biggest roads that people would be having to travel on to meet up with the other people that were traveling from the east coming in on the turnpike anyway.
There is a huge GetGo gas station at that intersection "on rt51 and just off the exit for I70" and there is tons of space to meet up in their parking area.
from that station we are only 15minutes from the turnpike and that would give us a little time to chat and would be a good spot to wait for the other travelers to get to where we would be metting em.

[robdrummer]

yeah, thats a great idea. is that right by the strict fab place.

[DG_Performance]

no my man you are thinking rt51 and rt43, that is where strict fab used to be but they moved out of state now anyway.

intersection if 51 and 70 is 5 min past the bills golfland. remember that place? a meet was there once. and it was right on the side of the highway at a traffic light. you can meet at my house if you want to roll up and follow me to the gas station. i know you are not from right around here but i am sure you will remember when you see it. if you were coming to my house on 70 and just kept going(instead of getting off the exit to get to my house) like 15 minutes more on the highway and you would be right at the intersection of 70 and 51.

[OrbitalGT95]

PA Car meets...we fly high, no lie, you know its...BALLLLLIN.....I might be attending guys..idk if I'm going to be able to take the car out, but if i cant and dave has that extra seat, its mine..dibs

[robdrummer]

Dave, if it's cool by u can i meet up at ur house and roll out with u

[JDM_FC]

Hey guys its Darin Here...I always follow the site for meets etc, so I figured I should just register.... Im gonna try and make it, I usually work on Saturdays now so I have to see if someone can switch me first. Jenns car still has nothing done to it............. eh.... well see what happens hope to see ya guys!

[DG_Performance]

I am calling off work to be able to go....
Anyone coming from philly or any place else if you want to pm me, i will send you my phone # so you will be able to call to meet us and avoid any confusion with getting lost and what not.

So who are the poeple coming from far away anyway?

[Consynx]

I am from the land before time, but i'm prob not gonna be there

[jason]

pm'd

[DG_Performance]

i sent you a reply with the current info....
you are the only guy coming from the east? are there any more?

[robdrummer]

BUMP..... LOOK AT THE FIRST POST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[DG_Performance]

We got a bunch of others coming from other forums so it is looking pretty good. just hope the snow will hold off for us!

Put me down for bringing more cars.... ive been gathering more people.
WRX, VW Vr6, STI, Focus, Stealth, Celica, maybe a few others.

This post has been edited by DG_Performance: Apr 11, 2007 - 8:50 AM

[OrbitalGT95]

ya, i cant make it home guys, have some fun and do a burn out for me dave

[JDM_FC]

Doesnt look like ill be attending hope you guys have fun......

[robdrummer]

unfortionaly my celica got hit by some ****ed up 80 year old bitch and i say that with the upmost sincerity. happened at daves house and i guess she was so pissed she hit me that she flipped out on both of us. oh and dave good job with the cop. he hates ur ass lol.

so i may not be able to attend and if i do i'll have a rent-a-car, and i'm so going to run it at the track

[Consynx]

which celi got hit????
was this on Tuesday?

[DG_Performance]

the black one thank god! he has not yet taken full delivery of the orange celica. this all happened down the road from my house... i guess rob was stopping over to see the update on the supra's top secret weapon and on his way here he took one in the butt from a little old lady! haha i dont want to know the full details but if he ever lets someone hit the orange car after he takes delivery, i think i might still have to stab him to death with a spoon!!!!

[robdrummer]

hey, easy there. the lady didn't even file the clam so my dad did it for her lol. there paying for a rental car so hopefully i'll get like a corolla or a mustang just to screw around with

[pittfirefighter]

alright so i'm here in oakland pittsburgh, where and when am i and a few other people meeting up with the rest of you?

[Consynx]

if i understand this right, you can be at RT51 + 70 at 10:30 SHARP, or just meet them at PRP @ 11:30-??? because they'll be there for some time. . .

[pittfirefighter]

i know there has to be more people coming from downtown, oakland, surrounding areas, i have no idea where i'm going, i thought you guys were meeting up around Pittsburgh at like 10?

[DG_Performance]

i know there has to be more people coming from downtown, oakland, surrounding areas, i have no idea where i'm going, i thought you guys were meeting up around Pittsburgh at like 10?

Here is what you will do, this is the easiest way i can think of to not get you lost. Coming from childrens hospital,,,,,(oakland)
Take fifth toward town
go across either the bermingham or the 10th st bridge (you decide)
turn right onto carson (far side of bridge)
take carson to station square
make a hard left at station square traffic light (like 135 degree turn) gas station will be on your right!
go up hill and make the "2nd right/a traffic light" toward the liberty tubes
turn left and go through the liberty tubes
soon as you exit the tubes take a right onto the rt51 south ramp
follow rt51 for about 20-25 minutes and you will go straight to the intersection of 51 and 70
pm me and i will give you my cell # so if you get lost you can call me

[DG_Performance]

Update on the meet situation:
i just talked to PRP on the phone.... and they have already decided to not open this weekend, they are gonna push opening day to next weekend!!!
so do you guys wanna push the meet back to then or see what the weather does and do something else non-track related and have a meet somewhere anyway?

[Consynx]

weekend after, you should all come to Erie

[jason]

dont push the meet! hahaha im in shady side as we speak =) any details as to what all is going on tomorrow since the track is closed? go back to just a lil photoshoot (weather permitting) then dinner n a movie?

[DG_Performance]

Seems like everyone is backing out due to weather... we will shoot for next week and hope for the best

[robdrummer]

next week hahaha... i should be having a new car by then this is what my parents held for me to pick up. muhahahahahahahaha...... http://www.cardomain.com/ride/2621071

[DG_Performance]

Yeah, if it turns out to be a half decent day... some of us can still meet for dinner and a movie or something? That was always an option but it just seems like everyone backed out cause of the weather???

[CJOHNST3]
