Just wondering if we are gonna have any kind of big thirdgen BBQ bash this summer (or maybe fall)? Just bring whatever car you can really.I'm sure with enough planning we can all figure a centrally located spot to meet up. I realize this has been tried before but maybe if we go into this with a positive outlook we can make it work. My car should be more than ready to make the trip by then. Right now I take it all the way to cottonwood without any issues. Thats 45 miles down and back up the mountain. I know it's far for me to go but I'm willing to do it if you guys are. I'll even pitch in for food and or park fees etc....Make it so!!

 

Thats a kick a$$ idea man. I would definately come. As far as location ideas maybe we could just hit up a big park somewhere for some BBQ fun, and of course the occasional 5k RPM hello as people pull in. Only thing off the top of my head right now would be like Kiwanis park, Tempe Town Lake, Lake pleasant or another surrounding lake....

 

Sweet...it really doesn't matter to me but a lake sounds nice cuz it would hopefully be cooler than in a city. A lake is good for pics too. Like I said, even if your thirdgen isn't running you should just bring what u got. I will be going for sure.

 

Well, lets give this another shot!! TO THE TOP!!!

Thanks Bruce...it's really in the planning stages at this point. Just looking for some support. I was thinking late summer just before guys go back to school. I really don't care how far I have to travel. I will help with whatever is needed.

 

I'm in with at least 2 3rd gens....It would be more but me and the wife only drive so many...LOL

 

I might be able to get my boys to go as long as noone minds 4th gens. Personally it doesn't matter to me what anyone drives as long as we are getting together. I think I could at least get Camaropimp to go anyway. Not sure about my oldest boy.

 

come on ppl there has to be some more interested in attending


*shows up to lake...looks around at 3 other 3rd gens and one 4th gen*....*kricket chirps* *sigh*

 

Yeah, c'mon man...I know this has been tried several times before but someone needs to step up and help get this thing moving. I have no idea what parks or lakes are down near the phoenix area except Lake Pleasant. I may even be able to get my buddy to bring his boat or maybe I can rent a jet ski for the day. Let's do this....

 

OK this thing sounds great. i have an idea for a meeting spot. There is a huge parking lot area at the beginning area of the south mountain in south phoenix. There are ramadas and bbq pits. I figure that would be good becuase there should be alot of space and some shade. I could ask the rangers about it if oyu guys are interested.

 

definately

 

 

I'm down

 

I love food and cars most of the time, I'll go.

 

i`d be down but driving 200 miles for a bbq would **** off the old lady

 

chock schwartzy down... maybe the fastest TBI vert that i know by that time... whoo!!! anyways, im so out three and if i get approved for my lil loan, i might even bring 2 3rdgens as well...

 

Sure I'm in.

As far as when to do it. Prevost will be out here the last week of June. But if we so that I would opt for an evening BBQ. Probably will be a little toasty for a lunch time BBQ.

 

it's easier to ask for foregiveness than it is to ask permission

 

i didn`t mean the old lady ,i meant the car lol

 

Can you car pool? There are a few other guys that live down your way. If I can, I will help with gas if necessary.

 

Your the first one to offer some kind of time frame. I can do an evening BBQ if its on a Sat. or Sun. Anyway, we can start earlier and run the cookout till dinner too. I will help with food. Lets figure out where we want to go. Preferably someplace where there is some shade and we can take pics.

 

if it's later in the day on Saturday or Sunday it would definitely increase the likelyhood I could attend.

 

im goin no matter what, and if Jon is coming down... omfg.... tune time... ill pay him!!! haha

 

Ok then...all we have to decide on is a date for a sat or sun afternoon. I'm guessing something like a 3pm to 11pm time?

 

I'm generally free on Saturday's after 12 and Sunday's after 3 with enough advance warning.

Let's try to do this before it gets too hot.

 

OK, but it was already mentioned for June but if everyone is ready sooner then lets do it. As far as hot goes, thats why it was mentioned to get to a lake.

 

I Agree I think we should go to (A) lake that way if we get to hot we can jump in.......PLUS around sunset it would make for a great back drop for our 3rd Gen's....I will bring my camcorder and digital camera....I can hold about 300 High Res shots on the camera and I can convert the film to CD for people interestedin a copy..


And I think it should be a SAT event just because of going till 11pm on a Sunday then going home and having to get up early the next morning to go to work could get rough on people who have to do lengthy driving to get there

 

just an idea but what if we did do the South Mtn thing on a weekend afternoon then after that drove right down the freeway to Firebird and all had a lil fun at the track? Good idea, aint it ?

 

That's a great idea as well. We don't have to have a BBQ till 11pm. That was just a time frame I threw out there. We could have the BBQ from 3 to 7pm and then drive over there. Whatever you guys agree on is fine with me. It really doesn't matter as long as we all get together. Family and friends are welcome. I'm helping with the food. Would need a head count when the time gets closer.

 

I would be interested in a CD...

 

I could be wrong, but I don't think Firebird is doing Sat. night drags right now, I think they are only on Friday nights.

As far as myself attending, I'm totally game as long as I'm not working. I'd request the time off, but seeing as how my first day is next week, AND I'm gonna want time off 2 1/2 weeks after the end of June (my 21st ) I'm gonna have to leave this one to chance...

 

yeah i can carpool.it would be great to just hang out

 

just tell me when and where and 2 weeks advance, ill be there!

 

I think your right Bruce. So FB is out unless we congregate close to Speedworld? Isn't Lake Pleasant not too far from there? I know they have Sat night drags. Who cares what track we run. It will be fun regardless. If we can't get to either track that's ok. We'll still have a blast.

 

sounds like a good time to me. Ill keep checking to see if we figure out a date to do this, i would suggest somewhere up north more so cause its gonna be a hot son of a anywhere around town, even at roosevelt or pleasant. Cottonwood or Sedona or payson, if people are up to it would be better, but then again those are long drives.

 

payson would be fun if it wasnt so far, i know a pretty good spot out there that i go camping at... but yeah, pleasant is pretty close to speedworld... that would be really sweet if we did that... grub, racing, 3rdgens... who needs anything else??

 

lake pleasant is like 10 min drive to Speedworld...that would be a good place

 

I know someone said earlier a certain person was gonna be around last week of June. why dont we shoot for that at Lake Pleasant. Then we can scoot over to speedworld for a run or two. I can bring the slicks, food and some other things if necessary. I really want this to work out for us all this time. It will be fun. Start saving some gas money now...

 

im also going to vote for pleasant on this one... that would ROCK hardcore...

 

Good...we're getting somewhere. Who can make it to Lake Pleasant on a Sat afternoon whether by thirdgen or car pool or other mode of transportation?

 

I can make it to the lake by car but I need to know how to get there by thirdgen from south phoenix. other than that i can be there.

 

Why Dorothy, to get there by thirdgen you just click your heels together three times, close your eyes and fly.....

I'm sure someone can give you directions when the time comes or you can follow someone over.

 

I could make it on a saturday afternoon

 

Anyone else? C'mon guys...it's a long drive for everyone but we can do this. I can try to get a boat or jet ski.

 

Guess there's not too much interest for Lake Pleasant....where else can we go?

 

bs!! pleasant all the way!!! come on guys, lets not let this one die!!

 

lake pleasant would be rockin...speedworld is right close to there too

 

exactly... i see 3 votes so far, i know bill would go if it was close to here (a-dale) sebastian could go.. come on guys!!!

 

You guys just say when and where and I will be there.

 

I don't have a problem with pleasent. It's just a matter of being able to get the time off of my new job. If I got the time off, I'm there...
