Pre-Spring Meet? - Page 2 - Subaru Enthusiasts Car Club of the Sierras

ShawnS · 2003-03-05, 10:35 PM

I can make it hopefully. I just got my car back from the shop. She is running a lot better. I can now have a "spirited" driving experience without having to fear of overheating.

Radiator problems? Ask LabMonkey about those, hehe. That guy's Jeep preheated faster than my oven. We sat in the "parking lot" at Sears Point one year with the heater on full blast to try and keep the motor cool while waiting to leave... it still over-heated in like 30 minutes!

It was extra-special that day for some reason... it was only like 90 degrees that day, I don't know why it went pyro like that. It was fine last summer here in Livermore even when it was like 110 out.

imprezton · 2003-03-08, 06:19 PM

16th?

I'll show up @_@

MattR · 2003-03-08, 07:33 PM

16th is good, I'm in

ZER026D · 2003-03-08, 07:38 PM

16th i wil be there

ArthurS · 2003-03-08, 08:22 PM

Still in. Have we decided if it will be a movie meet? Meet on top of Riverside Theaters?

sperry · 2003-03-12, 02:23 PM

Okay ya'll... what are we doing?

Possible movies:

Cradle 2 the Grave (Jet Li and DMX get their Kung Fu on)

The Hunted (comes out Friday, Tommy Lee Jones gets his ass kicked by Benicio Del Toro)

LOTR: Two Towers (still playing... I've only seen it once)

... ugh, not a lot of choices.

Another idea I just had: we could go race the go-karts at the Hilton or Wild Island. A little "pre-season autoX training"

.

ArthurS · 2003-03-12, 02:36 PM

I won't mind going to watch 'The Hunted'. That looks pretty good. I am game for anything though. Do I assume it going to be the typical meet start time of 11 am?

I wouldn't mind another photo shoot ontop of the parking garage though.

sperry · 2003-03-12, 02:51 PM

I was kinda excited about the go-karts... hehe. I wanna get out on the track and rub fenders with you guys!! lol

Too bad there's no Malibu Grand Prix out here... those are much faster karts, but they don't let you race 'em against each other.

ArthurS · 2003-03-12, 03:23 PM

Go-Karts actually sound fun. Hilton or WIld Island?

And I also heard we are getting some bad weather this weekend. Hopefully not too bad.

dknv · 2003-03-12, 04:02 PM

Karting would be fun.

Has anyone been out to the Karting track at Stead? That's something I want to do one of these days.

I also heard bad weather is coming in this weekend. Should have a backup plan.

dknv · 2003-03-12, 04:04 PM

Backup plan (indoor) ideas:

- Movies
- Laser tag at the Hilton?
- Reschedule?

sperry · 2003-03-12, 04:13 PM

Actually, one of the best times I had karting was a day at Malibu Grand Prix in the wet. It was drizzling, but not enough for any standing water, so the track was slippery as hell and they let us keep running! Plus the weather drove off most the people so there was zero waiting for laps.

Unfortunately, it looks like we're supposed to have some serious rain Fri, Sat and Sun. So I'll bet it'll be too wet for Karting... crud!

Laser Tag is an interesting idea... I haven't played that since I was like 12! It is any fun at the Hilton? The downtown cinema might work since the parking garage will provide cover for the cars, which is why we picked it way back when for fear of snow.

I'm down for whatever, what do you guys want to do?

ArthurS · 2003-03-12, 04:21 PM

In light of bad weather, we could attempt the laser-tag idea or movies either sounds good to me. The downtown theaters do have cover, thats kinda nice.

If good weather shows up, then karting still sounds like a blast. Never know with Reno weather.

(As I type this, there is a brand new corvette being towed down te street on Mae Anne. Wonder if he is getting it repo'd. :? :shock: )

MattR · 2003-03-12, 10:13 PM

There is a Slick track road course at teh hilton that is a LOT of fun, you can get your drift on in a big way...I've spent a bunch of $$$ trying to better my drift skills. And its a road course, not an oval, good times. We could meet up for go karts and lunch at johnny rockets, that could be cool. I have given up the notion of putting a run together until the spring is here and I have taken off my snow tires.

MattR · 2003-03-12, 10:18 PM

But...If weather comes, I think a movie meet downtown sounds good.

ArthurS · 2003-03-12, 10:19 PM

I just talked to 2 people over Cobb Tuning forums that may be down to do something also. Both from Reno. I told them to check out this webpage. So we might end up having quite a few people going.

MattR · 2003-03-12, 10:30 PM

I've never been to Cobbs forums, cool

ArthurS · 2003-03-12, 10:33 PM

I have been on there asking questions about there cat-back exhaust. I kinda like it. Might get it.

Cobb stuff is generally great stuff. I was pretty set on the Cobb Club Spec setup when I 1st got my WRX. Then I started learning about Vishnu's stuff, and you simply can't beat the cost/performance ratio of Vishnu's entry level stuff. The Cobb stuff is still dope tho! I have their original short shifter, before the double adjustable came out... man I want one of those now! lol... it never ends...

That Slick Track sounds sweet. If it's raining tho, it'll prolly be closed right? Do they require helmets on those things, or are they more like bumper cars than karts? I vote, no rain = slick track, rain = movie... let mother nature make the decision. And I really hope it's only rain, cuz I took my snow tires off

!

Oh, some more possible movies:
- Shanghai Knights (I never saw it... but the 1st one was amusing)
- DareDevil (I never saw that either, cuz I "dislike" Ben Asslick, to put it mildly

, but I usually see all the comic based movies)
- Tears of the Sun (supposed to be a good war flick, Bruce Willis kicks ass)

BTW: I'm gonna start sticking the "current" Reno Meet thread so we can keep track of it easier.

ShawnS · 2003-03-13, 09:05 AM

I vote for Tears of the Sun. Looks like a good one. Too bad there aren't any good car flicks out. :?

ArthurS · 2003-03-13, 09:09 AM

If its a movie, I vote 'Tears of the Sun' or 'The Hunted'.

If its good weather....I am all up for some karting....that slick rack sounds fun.

tysonK · 2003-03-13, 06:34 PM

hey im one of the people from th COBB forum(arthur was yapping about), i guess i can make it to the top of riverside at 11:00 am on the 16th. i have pretty strict movie viewing habits but i could go for The Hunted, but i mean i have already seen Ramboo First Blood..so,,anyway..i guess this is a pretty cool forum. I think i need to get one of those icon graphics..

Hey! Welcome to the forum!

I'm not sure what movie we're going to see, and I think if the weather's not too wet we're going to try to hit the Hilton for some go karts! Stay tuned here, we'll eventually come to some sort of conclusion.
