09 East Coast Meet
 
Ok so right now the idea is at the NC Outer Banks over the weekend of July 17th-19th. More details to come! Post up any ideas or just random thoughts lol

We need to find a good wheeling spot.

Once we do that, hotels can be booked and etc.

04blackedge 08-19-2008 08:48 PM

What about the lowered guys or those that don't want to wheel?

zabeard 08-19-2008 08:48 PM

ok guys, unless you really really want to go wheeling i would not recommend it. you can take the risk but breaking many many miles from home sucks.


late winter i plan to be down in the Savanah, Ga / Charleston, Sc Area.

Ah, didn't think about that.



Hey, when your going to be in Savannah pop me a PM. I would love to see the beast :mischievo

99MazdaB4000 08-19-2008 08:53 PM

we should call up LMS and talk to management, see if we cant race our trucks! hahahah. but yes. I am definately down for this! Like we can make it a 3-day event. A Tues/Wed/Thu whereas the city shouldnt be all that busy. We can get shirts made etc etc....

rangerdan01 08-19-2008 08:55 PM

F*** that if people are gonna come to nc then I am gonna take a group out wheeling and if we break something then we will get it fixed and keep on wheeling and have a good time.

We had lower riders at the Orlando meet, they just parked the trucks and rode with some body.

DCRVP 08-19-2008 08:57 PM

I couldn't do that, that's 400 miles one way, last time I drove that far it took $300 in gas alone. If it was around pigeon forge, smoky mountains I could make it.

99MazdaB4000 08-19-2008 09:00 PM

Yeah, gas will be EXPENSIVE for me. but hey, if I put $5 or $10 away per week, I should be fine.

04blackedge 08-19-2008 09:02 PM

I think Lowe's would be the best place for a group. Uwharrie would be great for wheeling theres just nothing else around it to have a meet at.

you have never been actually broke have you? i had that attitude, and broke 5 hours from home, imagine that tow bill.

stuff happens in a hurry. ive broke on numerous occasions around home luckily. to me id rather hang out with the people and have fun. now if i have my tow pig by then i may tow it down, then ill go wheelin.


as for you guys complaining about gas, save your money up.

RangerExtreme 08-19-2008 09:29 PM

It's not just the gas, it's the other stuff, like hotel, time away, stuff like that. If it was closer I know I could make it, but it being that far away I "might" be able to make it.

MOTOunplugged 08-19-2008 10:13 PM

hmmmm... trent, you gonna let me stay with you? i'll let the D3 do all the driving

04blackedge 08-19-2008 10:45 PM

Yeah if you don't mind some more driving, I'll have a apartment on Boone by then but I know a lot of people in Charlotte, I'm sure I can find us a place to crash.

99MazdaB4000 08-19-2008 10:45 PM

Trent you better find me a place to stay too! =P

Npierce 08-20-2008 08:10 AM

I would be down for Charlotte. Can always have the family come too... They have Paramounts Carowinds themepark. Kinda like sig flags.... They also have a campground at Carowinds... so people who wanna camp can do that... We should do it late summer before school(college and kids) go back....

herm59 08-20-2008 08:12 AM

680 miles for me and I'm gonna do what I can to make it there.

And I'll be in for wheeling too. Like RangerExtreme said "You only live once."

W1CKY 08-20-2008 08:22 AM

850 miles one way for me to Charlotte. Has anyone thought about the OBX National Park? That could be a fun place too if this were to happen in July / August.

Either way, I will talk to Rachel and see about us coming down.

04blackedge 08-20-2008 08:30 AM

Ah I forgot about Carowinds, good idea! OBX would be awesome too, it's so nice out there.

Npierce 08-20-2008 09:08 AM

Yeah Carowinds has a decent camp ground and I am sure the family environment would help ease the spouse into agreeing and making it a "family" vacation not just a meet...lol I am sure we could get a group discount at the park and campground...
