East Coast Pagoda Meet 2013!

Date:
tbd

Time:
HIGH NOON

Location:
98 Duryea Drive
Reading Station, PA 19602

This location hosts the an annual BMR Scca Duryea hill climb event, the roads are SPECTACULAR.
Ive visited there a couple times and also went to one of the hill climb events. It is an awesome location for a meet and a spirited drive, and it will give us a good chance to put some faces to the names!

Attendee List:
1.tigawoods
2.Fate

Lodging:
**Econo Lodge
http://www.econolodge.com/hotel-reading-pe...ource=gglocaloz
**Comfort Inn
http://www.comfortinn.com/hotel-reading-pe...ource=gglocaloz
Best Western
http://bwreadinginn.gotdns.com/

**outside the city = much better area






Let see if we can gain enough interest so that it will be a sizable meet and well worth the trip for some of you guys making a 5hr drive.

Im still in the process of gathering up a few things for us to do for the day (cruise,food,photos etc)
If any of you guys have any suggestions on how I can improve the meet I am all ears!
I will add those details to this first post as I attain them

Any idea of lodging locations around the area? I don't think I can drive 10 hours in one day lol.

[Tigawoods]

good call! Added some locations to the OP.

[Fate]

Bumping this up. I am in.

[RabidTRD]

I may not be able to afford to get the bumper painted by then, but I should be rolling low and wide nonetheless.

I may not be able to afford to get my car painted by then!

There isnt as much interest as I thought there would be with this, so as the time comes closer and there are only 3 people on the roster, we could re-schedule it for later in the summer to see if thatll help. (sorry kern haha)

Well I'm in.
It doesn't look like my ship date will be getting moved up so I have until late July, I think the 27th or something like that.

[Tigawoods]

oh really? I could really use the extra couple months to get my car painted.

[lagos]

I'd be down for this.

[mkernz22]

And that ship date also depends on if I still want to go into the Marines. I may end up doing ROTC instead and finishing up college.

I'm probably going to bring my GF with me so that I don't have to be completely alone for 5 hours lol.

[hokuten3]

my older brothers will probably come along. the ones got a 7gc and the others got a g35. so that's 2 other cars im bring with me ^_^

[Fate]

That's a great idea! I'll post it on a few of them this afternoon. There is still a month to go so it'll give those guys plenty of time

[garin]

I'll be 8. Anyone doing Tristate?

[Tigawoods]

I'll be 8. Anyone doing Tristate?

meh. not too many toyotas on there. We'll just end up getting people that will end up getting us kicked out

[hokuten3]

i could probably get my cousin from mr2oc to come out. he has a 3sgte mr2 but im not sure if that'll be running by then. but if he comes out, he'll definitely have his mr-S.

[Tigawoods]

posted it on MR2oC and Alltrac.

Might post this on a couple others.
newcelica
mr-s
supraforums

[ComaDave]

Looks like a straight shot down 81 for me, 4 hours from Syracuse. I'm interested, but have to check my schedule for that weekend.

[mgnt232]

wish my car would be done by then have fun everyone

[RabidTRD]

I really hope I can afford tires by then... =.=

[Tigawoods]

work your BEHIND off and buy some!

Not really getting much interest from other forums. they are a buncha lazy bums!

[garin]

hmmm i could try to get my good friend peter out (mike you know peter). no sure what we could do if there is a park or something near by we could have a cookout or something... beer if we are all 21+...

[Julian_Navia]

I'm really interested in going if I can get off work on that day. Would you guys mind if my brother came along as well in a non 6gc vehicle?

[BK94ST]

I wish I could go. My wife has a fuction that day and I was told I needed to go with her.

[Tigawoods]

A cookout would be a good idea, but I can't recall if they have areas for that, I'm sure they do, I'm just not positive. I was tho king of just crusing over to Rita's water ice (if its a warm day) If a couple of you are interested in cooking lmk,

I'm really interested in going if I can get off work on that day. Would you guys mind if my brother came along as well in a non 6gc vehicle?

Tell them you need a mental health day. Bring him along! My buddy in his 240 might come along with me. There will probably be a couple non Toyotas there

I wish I could go. My wife has a fuction that day and I was told I needed to go with her.

You are being a good husband but a terrible car enthusiast haha

[garin]

mike who is tagging along with you? ricci, or eck?

[RabidTRD]

Idk if I can make it guys. With rent, the need for tires, alignment, the cost of gas and the cost of the hotel... I can't make enough, even if I skip out on the tires, to make it an affordable journey. I had to skip paying insurance this month too. Being poor sucks.

If it were a bit later in the month, like past the 24th, I could probably do it. But the 18th lands on an in-between paycheck week... I really don't want to show up on winter tires and sucked in, stock rims.

I think you can count me in then as long as I'm not working that day

Dont want to push you into coming. well I really cant haha


but....


just to let you know.


if you dont come....

[mkernz22]

I hate to say I have to back out, but I have to back out.
There's no way possible for me to come up with the money by then
I absolutely have to do pads and rotors, as well as all the hardware for the calipers.
Then I just found out this past weekend that my filler neck piece is rusted out and leaks gas cause it was pouring out when I filled her up....

[Tigawoods]

Bah!
This meet is falling apart!

I ordered some critical parts in to get my car back on the road for this meet, and they have yet to come in. Hopefulley they will come in time. I could even throw them on the night prior.
If they dont come in by the day before, I wont be able to make it in the celica

[garin]

michael, hit me up if you need help with anything.

[mkernz22]

I'm sorry you guys!

I also just found out I need new calipers in the rear along with the brackets and I'm getting brackets in the front from Dustin since all my slider pins are freezing up on me!! AAHHH.
and then I absolutely need to do my filler neck since it's not rusted, but rotted out....

I feel ya. I had to replace my calipers and brackets in the rear because my bolts snapped off inside of the brackets. All four wheels got brand new treatments. Lots of money for something you'd think would go simple. Luckily, my filler neck rotted at the dealer, so they replaced it after I bought it, or I'd have been out the $250 for that too.

[Julian_Navia]

I dont think I'm gonna be able make it guys Won't be able to get off work that day

[Tigawoods]

so just assessing the situation I think it would be best to postpone the meet. Seeing as how we had a few dropouts and even my own celica probably wont be ready (registered) by that time.

I know the few of you who had taken off work for the event are the ones that cant make it anymore so hopefully I wont be ruining anyone else who had taken off. I will check in with some of the other guys that cancelled so that we can establish a better date when all can attend!

I really appreciate the interest guys, this is my first time organizing a meet and I want it to be great, hope to get this back together with more attendees in the coming months!

[saleenvic]

[Tigawoods]

my car should be road legal in a few weeks. after its back and driving well I will start to figure out a new date!

[mkernz22]

If it's at a later date, that I can make, and the car is fixed; I would gladly take the money I would use to go to Waterfest and put it toward this instead

[ComaDave]

I'm out for May, let me know when the new date is please.

[RabidTRD]

Oh sweet. Hopefully I'll have my wheels by the new date

[Tigawoods]

I have a general idea of having it sometime between mid june to early july.

[RabidTRD]

That would probably be perfect. I think I can afford tires, have my cv axle and rims finished by then.

[TheCreatorOf]

I think if the meet gets postponed to mid to late july no one should have excuses, since they would have more than enough time to get their cars ready for the road, I would like to show mines after the custom front bumper, but if the meet is before the vacation I wont be able to show it, but that wont stop me from going with my stock looking celica lol.
btw, everyone seems to be talking about money problems, is there like an admission fee of any sort? ive never been to a celica meet before..
also I might need to look at my gas filler components and check for rust or corrosion, lol too many people here with the same problem

[Tigawoods]

People coming from 5-6hrs away were concerned about money for gas and lodging. It's a free meet

[Fate]

July 6th?

[Tigawoods]

July 6th?

that might do. I dont think people celebrate the 4th for the whole weekend haha

[RabidTRD]

That would give me enough time to get some stuff straight. July 6th wouldn't be bad.

Depends on how long people intend on hanging out.
Im not sure if youd be able to make it from NJ in time though. Cant request off ahead of time?


How does everyone feel about JULY 6th?

[RabidTRD]

July 6th would be perfect.

[Tigawoods]

July 6th sounds like the new date. Just waiting to see if any more people can confirm that they have that date available

[czwalga]

Everyone should go to the STPR Rally in wellsboro PA next weekend.

[Fate]

BUMP!

[Tigawoods]

I am going with July 6th. I am going to update the OP this week and PM people who were interested in it as to update them on the new date

[Tigawoods]

ITS BACK ON!!!

[hokuten3]

dam.... im going up to MN that J4 week. i won't be able to make it....=(

[Fate]

In.

[Tigawoods]

Just curious if anyone has plans for the Holiday that weekend which will keep them from attending

[hokuten3]

my brother(7gc) and i will be gone for the j4 weekend. we had it planned for a year now. so we can't back out from it. definitely wanna hit the meet though...

[Julian_Navia]

I'll do my best to make it there but I'm gonna have to do some money saving to make that trip. As long as nothing else breaks on the car I should be good to go

[Fate]

Official count, only add your name if there are no doubts about your attendance:

1. Tigawoods

[Fate]

No interest?

[Tigawoods]

doesnt seem to be enough. looks like we will have to re schedule

[saleenvic]

doesnt seem to be enough. looks like we will have to re schedule

Hey, so is July 6th this Saturday still on or will it be rescheduled?

[Tigawoods]

re-scheduled. or cancelled.

[RabidTRD]

Keep updating. I still want to go to this. Financially, I should be able to afford it I after the trip to PA for Invasion of Normandy next weekend.
