Nor Cal Version 2.0 Thread - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

cali240sxdrifter · 10-13-2002, 04:17 PM

Well since everyone is crying about starting a new Nor Cal thread, maybe i'll break the ice and actually make one. Here we will talk about Upcoming Fall and Winter Meets, any Website Releated News, and any other stuff you guys want to talk about.

So let me start off by saying we should start and think up some ideas for a Meet 3 sometime around early next month or something. Or do a Zilvia Halloween Meet. HAH. That would be cool. So just post up ideas and we can vote later.

This is just to start off the Thread.. I'll think up more stuff to talk about. Btw my Brithday is Tomorrow (monday) YAY. but i still have to go to College =(
Peace.

gabossie · 10-13-2002, 11:54 PM

So when's the next one? Thanksgiving, Christmas? Anytime with a school break is best <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='

Danio · 10-14-2002, 12:52 AM

Happy birthday Steven!

Haha dress up your car... LOL! Well for those who are interested, maybe we can have a small Halloween meet. I was thinking me and my friends should go trick-or-treating (never too old!) with our helmets on. Yeah we probably wouldn't be able to hear each other too well but it's just an idea. ^o^

I think we should set the next big meet for mid-November. Personally I'd prefer having the meet before Thanksgiving week 'cuz I think many people, including myself, might want that week to be with family and old friends. And since the last two meets were both on Sundays, maybe we should set the next one for a Friday or Saturday. And the last two meets were in Milpitas and Mountain View, so if you guys don't mind let's rule out Santa Clara County if we stick to the Bay Area.

November 8, 9, 15, or 16?
Bay Area or no?
If Bay Area: around Hayward, San Mateo, Oakland, or San Francisco?
If not Bay Area: Sacramento or ... what else is out there in NorCal? :P

BadMoJo · 10-14-2002, 02:04 PM

All I can say is <h2>TRACK DAY</h2> We need to pick a track and try to setup a nice track day, that would kick ass!

I think we should look into it.

Don't worry Dan, me and Bill will be looking into organizing a track day. If we get enough people to go and a pay a fee we can get it going. Bill said to talk to Tim from Speedtrial to see if he can set up a Track Day for us Nor Cal Peeps. So for right now, how many people would be interested. Am shooting for a Nov, but if we can't am looking for a Dec. School break week. How about it? Just post up.
Also thanks everyfor for the congrats of my birthday. =D Peace.

I'm semi-interested for December. Money is my only problem. o_o; I know I'm gonna spend quite a bit on Christmas gifts. I wouldn't mind waiting for January or February.

fodive · 10-14-2002, 08:50 PM

i say wait until "rainy season" is over with, that way we dont have to worr yabout it being rained out and ahving to collect refunds and stuff like that, but im down for whenver, really, jsut dont forget weather in this all

BadMoJo · 10-14-2002, 09:11 PM

That is tommy from Speedtrial. They do events at Buttonwillow, Infineon, and Willow Springs and other tracks.

http://www.speedtrialusa.com/

If anyone has any track hookups let us know. Me and Steven are going to try and get something together.  <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/thumbs-up.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':thumbsup:'>

BadMoJo · 10-14-2002, 09:21 PM

Oh and i was thinkin Nov or Dec sometime. I told myself that I would do at least 1 more track day before the end of the year.

GotDriftS14 · 10-15-2002, 01:30 AM

i just wanna say, i dont really like streets of willow too much....but i will suggest Thunderhill....it is an awesome track, very very nice place, downside is that the skidpad is crappy, but the good side is that the skidpad doesnt interfere with the track, so they dont have to section it off like they do at SOW.  i went there in January, and it was rainy in the morning, and sunny in the afternoon, so it was almost like running on 2 different tracks in one day. off the hook!  skidpads are awesome in the rain, and the track in general was kool with rain, the only thing that sucks is that you have to keep ur windows open and it might get kinda wet.  OH WELL.  but yeah a track day would be nice in a couple months so i can save some money.   but yeah i just wanna say, its kinda far away but it is definitely a beautiful track...alot faster than SOW and not as freakin hot...  my $.02

OH and im down for a little Halloween meet, haha, that would be fun...we could dress up as drifters haha...

hachiroku · 10-15-2002, 04:57 PM

I'm interested....how much would it cost to use a track?  I might be able to bring 2-3 other people to come along if we need more people to split the cost, they're not all 240 drivers though.  Keep us posted.

fodive · 10-15-2002, 06:13 PM

i know my buddy who rented out thunderhill for a day w/ 40 ppl, i think it was $200 each. ill ask next time im at work

cali240sxdrifter · 10-15-2002, 06:49 PM

Whoa 200 bucks. Fuck i'll pay that. Matt you got to ask him. If its true then i'll call up ThunderHill to reserve a day for us.

Hachiroku, don't worry man if they are not Nissan drivers. Just let me or Bill know if your coming and bring more people. All keep everyone posted. L8s

BadMoJo · 10-15-2002, 07:45 PM

Lets get a rough head count going.

If your interested post up along with any friends you have that would be interested.

GotDriftS14 · 10-16-2002, 12:25 AM

ok count me in, and count my friend Max as probable, and my friend Ben as possible...

hachiroku · 10-16-2002, 09:21 AM

$200 sounds pretty steep to me....
<img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/nervous.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':nervous:'>

would the price go down if we had more people in?  I haven't asked anyone yet, but I can do that for the rough count.  I'll be willing to go if more people can bring the price down.

yeah, i believe its one fixed price for a day at the track...so the more people, the less it costs, but also dont forget that the more people the more crowded the track would be.

also, this is just straight track time, not like NASA where you cang et instruction or anything, so you may want to keep that in mind.

that said, im in...and i may be able to get two more or so, depending on when we go <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/thumbs-up.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':thumbsup:'>

gabossie · 10-16-2002, 02:41 PM

I'm in if I can get the money together. I might be able to get some friends in on it too, but not sure.

Did that include me Matt??? Well if its in december, I maybe be able to go. I will be in CA for pretty much all my xmas break.

fodive · 10-16-2002, 09:41 PM

how many people have track experience, cause if we are a bunch of track noobs, getting a track by ourselves wouldnt be as effective as all going to NASA or something like that

fodive · 10-16-2002, 09:42 PM

page 2, i own j00! <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/devil.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':devil:'>

Anyways, am not a noob, but pretty much this will be my first track event. Once a few laps go by everyone should be set on the turns and shit like that. Am in and i could bring 2 - 3 guys along.
As of right now i count 14 peeps that people said that are coming and bring 2 - 3 friend of theirs. Am sure it will go up to 20 or so once i post this on the rx7 boards. Matt did you find out from you friend yet that he paid that much? I'll keep everyone updated on the track meet. Peace

hachiroku · 10-16-2002, 10:23 PM

track newb here....will need lots of help with getting started

fodive · 10-16-2002, 10:31 PM

not i havent, im working tommorrow, so hopefully i will find out then. i'lll let you guys know when i do.

i think we should have some of the guys who have done track events before help out the noobs, sort of like a senior buddy type of thing... we'd also need some passing ground rules and that sort of stuff, we dont want people hitting eachother or coming close to it you know

Once a few laps go by everyone should be set on the turns and shit like that. Am in and i could bring 2 - 3 guys along. As of right now i count 14 peeps that people said that are coming and bring 2 - 3 friend of theirs. Am sure it will go up to 20 or so once i post this on the rx7 boards. Matt did you find out from you friend yet that he paid that much? I'll keep everyone updated on the track meet. Peace __________________ Garage - 00 S2000, 09 BMW M3 Sedan, 17 Tacoma, 09 BMW Wagon
