BBQ/Car Meet May 13th

Hodge · 05-03-2006, 06:53 PM

Where/When?

TIME: 11am
DATE: May 13th
LOCATION: Stoney Creek Metropark
PICNIC AREA: **OAKGROVE A** :::CHANGED!!!:::
PLEASE NOTE: THIS IS A NEW SPRING BBQ LOCATION!!

Click the thumbnail below for a larger version. This is NOT our usual spring bbq location so please make sure you pay attention to this map. Our old location had 100 parking spaces, the new one has 162. I think this should accommodate our usual very large numbers quite well. Make sure you show up as promptly as possible to ensure the best spot for your ride!

What is provided/expected of me?

As with every year, we provide the hamburgers, hot dogs and buns. We ask that everyone pitch in a little bit and bring something. Pop, chips, cookies.. whatever. We've noticed a decline in participation for the past couple BBQ's so I'm pleading with people to please remember that without people bringing a 12 pack of pop, there's nothing to drink.

If you are unable to bring something.. please don't let that deter you from coming. I'm not out in the parking lot watching people to make sure they bring something and I certainly hope no one else is. The main concern is that you show up and have a good time.

Please read this thread and sign up to bring something

Who is welcome?

EVERYONE! And I do mean everyone. I noticed that year after year, it's mainly sport compact guys that show up despite the fact that we have a lot of v8 and truck guys lurking about here. I encourage everyone to come out and have fun. Bring the wife and kids.. we try to keep things family friendly. It's a great day of eating, socializing and some hot cars to stare at as well.

The Raffle
There will be a raffle as usual. Tickets cost $1 and can be bought from our roaming ticket sales people throughout the day or right before the raffle begins. This is our main way of recouping the cost of the BBQ as well as cover some of our costs through the year so we rely on people to participate.

Any businesses interested in providing us with items to raffle are encouraged to PM me. Free advertising in the form of banner ads, vendor access and some serious plugging during the actual raffle are given in return for your generosity.

FAQ
Q. Can I bring beer?
A. We usually discourage this type of activity for a few reasons. First and foremost, we're a gigantic gathering of cars. No one at XceedSpeed condones drinking beer and then driving a car. Secondly, the park rangers are VERY aware of our presence and drive through our gathering constantly throughout the day. The less reason they have to stop, the better.

Q. Can I bring my dog??
A. Of course! We've had plenty of people bring dogs of all sizes. Just make sure you have the pooch on a leash and that it's not going to attack someone's poodle or something

I thought this already happened on the 22nd ... wtf

Hodge · 05-03-2006, 06:55 PM

definitely come out, last year was awesome.... it keeps getting bigger and more fun. It would be sweet to see more grand am's there for sure.

a lot of people from GR area are meeting up and going together... like 20+.

EDIT: I don't think so tom... unless i'm wrong, but the date says the 13th so thats what i'll go by

xxbackhillxx · 05-03-2006, 07:17 PM

i know what it is ... ive been goin to the bbq's since i had a car.

Ajaxus · 05-03-2006, 08:32 PM

there's the address...i'll consider it.

btw, that map made my night.

AaronGTR · 05-03-2006, 08:37 PM

Yeah, it's usually a good time. Always on a saturday though and I always work saturdays.

This is a very busy time of year for us. I'll probably try to swing by though with the car after work before it breaks up. Probably around 4:00.

Ajaxus · 05-04-2006, 09:22 AM

yeah if i show it'll only be for 2-3hrs, then i gotta come back here and get trashed because that's part of my 3-day drink-a-thon to celebrate the end of the year and finals. heh

Hodge · 05-09-2006, 09:28 AM

coupe · 05-09-2006, 09:46 AM

Hodge · 05-09-2006, 11:00 AM

http://xceedspeed.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=42561 = grand rapids caravan.

It's a relatively big meet. one of the biggest i've been to(haven't been to many around here) and free food, it's fun. last year i got there at like 11:30 and i stayed until 6.

coupe · 05-09-2006, 11:03 AM

I might go, i dont think i will caravan though.

Hodge · 05-09-2006, 11:05 AM

definitely fun/worthwhile. hiope to see you there for sure.

Warthog · 05-09-2006, 11:45 AM

xxbackhillxx · 05-09-2006, 02:20 PM

word ... free food and lots of cars FTW. I'll be there early/late depending when I work (don't know when yet).

Hodge · 05-09-2006, 03:28 PM

tom whats your car look like now? did you sell everything rims/sc/t kit... all that ****?

AaronGTR · 05-09-2006, 04:25 PM

I'm switching injectors right now. Finishing up modding the wiring harness and put it all back together tonight. Assuming I get the pcm tuned well enough by then so it drives well enough I'll be there for sure, but not until after 3 or 4:00.

xxbackhillxx · 05-09-2006, 04:51 PM

it looks like a grand am.
