CT weekly meets
 
I know theres not a massive amount of people in CT, but I kinda wanna get some kind of meet going for the CT group. NY/NJ has theirs but to be honest thats too much of a trek for me to make every week (sry guys). Anyone else interested in this?

avanti_racing08 01-25-2009 06:28 PM

I would be down. dont matter where or when

Blackout04RX 01-25-2009 06:58 PM

awesome! we have 2! lol who else?

CTrx8 01-25-2009 07:18 PM

i'll be in depending on when and where.

avanti_racing08 01-25-2009 10:56 PM

well a centralized place would be the best. not the pike tho to many "kids" and cops out there.

Blackout04RX 01-26-2009 05:53 AM

I'm open to ideas. I agree about avoiding the pike tho. Thats just begging for trouble. It depends on the locations of people down for it.

CTrx8 01-26-2009 05:59 AM

long wharf would probably be a pretty good central location.

dmc27 01-26-2009 10:23 AM

I be in for a few. Weekly might be a bit much for me depending on where in CT, but New Haven isn't too far.

avanti_racing08 01-26-2009 04:23 PM

well i guess it depends on what every one would want to do at the meet, like all go out and be loud and have fun at a resturant or just chill and have coffie?

john64 01-26-2009 07:14 PM

I might be up for a few here and there.

Ryan2008 01-26-2009 07:54 PM

I'd be up for this as well. My car is in storage until spring though.

I'm located in northeastern CT near the mass border so maybe something centralized like somewhere in hartford? Just a thought

longpath 01-26-2009 09:16 PM

I'd love to if I can manage the time (I've got a 13 month old at home, so scheduling much of anything is always a challenge).

VRMRotory8 01-26-2009 10:25 PM

I would be down for a few as well, im in port chester ny which is right next to CT...about a 10 min drive to stamford where longpath is located.

Blackout04RX 01-27-2009 11:41 PM

My thinking is something in New Haven or Willimantic area. On a friday evening. As the list is growing, how does anyone think about this?

avanti_racing08 01-27-2009 11:47 PM

hahahaha you said willy (willimantic) there is nothing or spots to hang out there. I know i live 30 ft from the town line

CTrx8 01-28-2009 04:52 AM

we could always rotate - 1st week of the month in new haven, 2nd week of the month in hartford, 3rd week of the month in stamford, 4th week off? we can see how things shape up after a few months of it and see where we get best participation and maybe one of those falls off.

Sounds good to me. My car I believe will be out end of march/beginning of april

VRMRotory8 01-28-2009 11:53 AM

yeah that does sound good...i could def make it to stamford.

Blackout04RX 01-28-2009 01:57 PM

yeah seems most of us can handle the lower part of the state but i was keeping in mind the guy up near mass, thats a LONG haul for him, doubt hed do it. And theres winningrx8chik, if she were to look at this page, she is near waterbury I believe

Blackout04RX 01-28-2009 01:58 PM

I don't mind driving 45 mins, but I don't think everyone is as accomodating lol

avanti_racing08 01-28-2009 07:45 PM

Im one of the South east side guys i dont care where i got to go.

I don't mind driving 45 minutes each way; but it depends on how amenable my wife is to letting me take the time (the price I pay for the beautiful daughter she gave me).

xlude 01-28-2009 10:12 PM

I am in the new london area. I cant think of any where to meet.

CTrx8 01-29-2009 04:16 AM

i still say stick with stamford, new haven, and the hartford area.

ya only thing i can think of is the casino's in our area. But mohegan sun does do a car show once a month with fireworks that could be an option for one week

VRMRotory8 01-29-2009 11:13 AM

lets hit up foxwoods!!!

longpath 01-29-2009 11:34 AM

That's not a bad idea at all.

VRMRotory8 01-29-2009 11:45 AM

i need mod money and money in general lol....100 on red!!!

seriously though..it would be nice to play roulette with some fellow 8 owners.

CTrx8 01-29-2009 11:59 AM

i'm not a gambler but don't mind hanging out while others do. i could be up for that.

dmc27 01-29-2009 12:01 PM

Danger Will Robinson!


:lol2:


I'd meet up since you'd be right off the RI border. Bring $100 for the blackjack table and play for all of ten minutes.

xlude 01-29-2009 09:19 PM

I would love to hit up foxwoods. I live like 5 min. from there.:)

avanti_racing08 02-01-2009 11:59 PM

sorry i would be at texas no limit

Blackout04RX 02-02-2009 02:14 AM

lol yeah id prolly be looking at poker tables too. never play the house, you always lose hahahaha. but sounds like a majority wanna do foxwoods. I am gonna go out on the limb here, and say for a first week, friday the 20th or saturday the 21st. this weekend is too soon, and the following is valentines, so I will be spending that with my girlfriend. once there we can make plans for the following week.

xlude 02-02-2009 05:31 PM

That sounds good to me.

avanti_racing08 02-02-2009 06:02 PM

i will go but not with the 8, under to much construction to come out

dmc27 02-03-2009 08:50 AM

Friday the 20th or Saturday the 21st sounds good.

I think the Friday night after work would limit attendance for anyone with a longer ride to get there.

Saturday gives us more time to get there while it's still light out & maybe even still warm (relatively :lol:) outside.

i agree that saturday will give us better attendance since we all get off work at different times and with friday rush hour, can be a haul to get up there.

xlude 02-03-2009 10:42 PM

lets do the 21st. Know how we need is a time. We should meet in the garage, I think?

Blackout04RX 02-04-2009 04:01 AM

21st it is. I agree with that, since I also have a local poker game I attend on friday nights, that I would hate to miss. I am leaning towards meeting up at a location outside of the casino, so we can park together. And does anyone know if they allow someone under 21 to be in the casino if they are not betting? I want to bring the gf, but shes underage

dmc27 02-04-2009 09:07 AM

^ Meeting somwhere around the Casino is a good idea.

Under 21 is not allowed, iirc, but I don't remember ever seeing anyone checking. I don't feel like I look that old . . . :lol:

avanti_racing08 02-04-2009 12:04 PM

if you stick in a group it should be an issue just dont do anything dumb

xlude 02-04-2009 06:02 PM

I know that there is a dukin donuts down the street from there. I think it is like 3 miles down route 2, I think. Rather then that I am not sure what else. Unless you guy want to travel a little before we get there then we can meet up at the Regal cinemas off of exit 92 on I95. Foxwoods is about 15-20 min. from there either on route 2 or I95.

Blackout04RX 02-06-2009 01:11 AM

the regal cinemas sounds good, easy to get to. That way I can just follow. So should I invite the gf if she promises to behave lol?

dmc27 02-06-2009 12:41 PM

hmmm . . . this thread is great for hashing out the ideas, but a thread should be started with the meet time/date so people know what's up.

do one of you CT guys want to take the reigns and do that, or should I start it?

If I do I'm going to make a lolcat to bust your chops . . . "I'm in RI, taking over your CT meets." :lol2:


Where has John been, anyway?

xlude 02-06-2009 10:23 PM

I think we should meet up at Regal at 3pm.

john64 02-07-2009 10:24 AM

I'm here!!!!

I have been putting the RX7 thing aside for awhile. I have not even driven her since the OCC meet last year.

I'm up for some meets. Not sure how many I'm going to be planning this year anyways. The Limerock meet is out since the GT series is not even coming ot the track!

The Casino sounds nice, but it's too far of drve since I'm at the opposite side of the state.

rotaryspeed 02-07-2009 09:38 PM

whats up guy, gonna be moving down to rocky hill at the end of the month and looking to find out where all the 8's are

fitz75 02-08-2009 07:29 PM

Keep me in mind say mid april when mine comes out of hibernating... someone pm me please as I don't get to frequent this site as much.

i'd take the reins but don't know how many i'll be able to make. with two little ones i'll go to some here and there but definitely won't be able to make all.
