BOOSTD 7

Alright, I've been waiting to see if a big 7/7/07 event would pop up somewhere in the Midwest. Since it hasn't, let's do something in St Louis.

The big question is do we want a 1 day local-only event, or put together a bigger midwest 2 day event? I'm down for running either.

So let's hear some ideas on what to do. Something we definately gotta do soon, either as part of this event or some other is the Grand Prix Speedways out in Earth City - http://www.grandprixspeedways.com/

Post ideas!

The guys in the race club hit GPS regularly. Unfortunately I haven't had a chance to get out there. I hear it's a blast. I'm good for the 7th.

Count me in...I'll try and think of some ideas

I was thinking the two day thing would be good...if we could get enough people to go for it. Hard enough getting a group around here together just to meet for drinks. The kart place sounds good to me for a start.

BOOSTD 7

There's also a massive parking lot at the karting place - I'm sure we could section off an area to all park together and have a show. There's also a bar in the place for those who don't want to drive carts.

I'm planning on making this an all Mazda thing, so will invite the piston guys too

If we do the 2-day, what are some ideas for Sunday?

baseballgenius80

More carting? j/k Waterlogged and I are getting together tomorrow with some other 8 guys. I'll see what we can brainstorm.

BOOSTD 7

Please do discuss it with the group - ideas for a one day or a two day event. Even if we just do a one day, we could have time after the carting and car show to drive over to Creve Coeur Park and have a BBQ.

Have fun at the get-together tomorrow! I knew you guys were planning, but I'm heading out of town for the weekend, or I would have come too.

WaterLogged

We'll definitely discuss it tomorrow. So far I'm liking the ideas thrown up so far. The Creve Couer idea after karting sounds perfect since it's so close. I'll talk to the other Mazda guys at the race on Memorial Day, too. There's also a new guy in the race club that brought his new Mazdaspeed 3. The meet in July would be a good chance for him to show it off a bit.

Seems like we have a few more interested parties as of Saturday's gathering. Still trying to think of some ideas though...karting still seems tops on the list.

That weekend is the St Louis Microbrew Fest at Forest Park. Just thought that might be something people'd be interested in.

WaterLogged

MMMMM... Beer!



Where might one get info on times/dates?

Sounds delicious

WaterLogged

I just noticed that it's actually THIS weekend and not in July. You guys insterested?

terretsboy

I'm definitely game. I've been trying to get my friends to come in but no one is biting. Ok Ok Ok, I have no friends but can't a guy dream?

baseballgenius80

You have us Terrets....so quit crying. I guess I'm up for it, only to satisfy Terrets need of friends.

WaterLogged

Okay, back to the subject at hand... July 7th, 2007. It's great for the RX-7s to have a get-together on 7/7/07 and let us crash their party. So let's get off our collective asses and make sure we attend. Perhaps we could even form a nice little rivalry between the 7 owners and us 8 owners at Grand Prix Speedways. Should at least add a bit of fun to it.

Anyway, feel free to start the smack talk: http://www.rx7club.com/showthread.php?t=653413

Hey guys, glad to see you're all alive and well and keeping the dream alive. Damn I miss my sports car Damn Damn!
Anyway, this microfest sounds like fun but I can only maybe possibly make it, depending on what time you all go. So...what time?

WaterLogged

It's looking like between 1 and 1:30. Would be good to see you again. We can talk about Kenny & family again! Or better yet talk you into another 8.

myfuncar

Hey Waterlogged (and others) sorry I couldn't make it. Had a tennis game and then other stuff. I play way too much tennis when the weather's good like this, it keeps me out of trouble.

Hope you all had a good time.

(Bill I've seen your CEO a bunch lately, as usual.)

For those of you who missed it, the MicroBrew Fest was a good time Saturday. The four of us that made it: WaterLogged, Terrets, Fisherdn, and myself...all consumed our fair share of fresh brewed alcoholic beverages. Got to visit with good people, the good brews got to visit our bellies, and luckily no one had to visit the porcelain god. Terrets, hope you continued drinking to your heart's content at the ball game since the Cards were unable to pull out a win for you. Fisher and WaterLogged got some nice compliments on the 8's, and I believe we are all up for doing it again next year with hopefully an even bigger representation.

terretsboy

Yeah it was a good time. Drunken annoying people were at a minimum when I left. I went from that to a political fundraiser with free beer to the game with free beer. Living the dream! Somehow I wasn't devestatingly hungover on sun.

baseballgenius80

It's the free factor. Makes it go down so much smoother. Less of an after effect.

baseballgenius80

So...getting back to topic:
What are the official plans and who is all going? To my understanding we are still doing the indoor karting?

gotrx8
