October 9th Meeting Wrap-Up

Hehe. Nah, dropped her off back home. Write up time.

Well, given the weather and awful traffic, we had a grand total of seven Fieros and approximately two dozen members. Without David's and Lisa's supervision the meeting started a little late, and without our MC of the night to begin with.

With Johnny Boy and Harrison, the 3800 SC engines were well represented (And more importantly, the fastback crowd was as well). When Patrick the leader of the even show up, things got off to a slow and shaky start as this one fumbled about with the door prizes and free food wins (Of which I cheated a door prize win).

When discussions finally commenced, only one topic was widely talked about: Autocross. We spoke to Colby, Patrick, Johnny Boy, Harrison and myself to get everyone's unique perspective on the Corvette run. Also as a reminder, Slush series starts soon. Please refer to the thread for further details.

A couple new faces were present. One member to scope us out, and another to tell us about his new IMSA Notchie. I will leave them to introduce themselves here when they can.

And, as soon as the meeting began - it was over. I can't tell what was discussed in the parking lot tonight, although everyone was seen eying Harrison's engine bay when I left. Perhaps either he or Patrick could offer more insight.

(PS, awesome picture of me Johnny Boy. LOL)

I do believe that was supposed to be leader of the event. Don't know, wasn't thinking! =D

Uh huh? Driving sensibly I still made it there by six. Troublemaker.

Oh right, spycams! One could sort've say they were related to autocross... =P

Yeah, my meal came to $40, which was also a touch steep. Considering only Kevin's waitress was there that day, it was exremely difficult to justify the higher prices (And I mean way higher, beyond HST).

I had fries and a milkshake.

She had a sandwich and a pop.

$40. It hurt. lol

Sounds like an amazing meeting, sorry to have missed it, but Patrick and Tristan seem to have done an amazing job at it, with lots of speakers.

As to the food price we may have to ask for a discount equal to the new price change or consider changing locations.  If we go too cheap, we will loose members that don't want to have meetings at a McDonald's, or too expensive and people don't want to spend the money for the Keg.  Most of the places in between don't have a banquet room or adequate parking or both, or are too far away. 

        Lisa and I were joking we should move the meetings to Belling ham at the Izzy's Amazing quality of food, all you can eat and it was only 8.99 per person.   Ya Ya I know it will never happen unless its a night time club drive.   

          If we could find a buffet up here that might be our best bet.  Something around $12 per person.  So 2 people could eat for 22 regardless of how much they eat. 

      We can open the topic again, and have a separate thread about it.

I need to wrap up here, as its midnight and Lisa and I are heading for the Oregon Coast early tomorrow morning.  Take care all.

David, Lisa and Arianna reporting in from Oregon.

Hey, if Uncle Willy's has a banquet room, we'd be all set.

Sorry i missed the club meet.

Just a note that i sold my red fiero to Paul and Chris of North Vancouver last week and they planned to check out the club. Im not sure if they made it out as it was pretty wet and i also wasnt there.

In any case they may want to join if you guys can behave yourselves

Paul is looking for sail panel in good shape for the 85 coupe.

I hope to see you all next meet
