NC: Triangle Meets
 
Where would you guys like to have meets and how often?

Wild Wing Cafe in Brier Creek was mentioned. Thursdays @ 8pm was also discussed. What does everyone think? Would you like to see a weekly meet? Every other week? When thinking of ideas be conscious of parking. Ideally, if we chose Wild Wing Cafe, we could meet in the Best Buy parking lot and then drive over afterwards since parking can be cramped in that area.

Let's hear some ideas!

Triangle Meet Kickoff:
Wild Wing Cafe - Brier Creek
7900 Brier Creek Pkwy Raleigh, NC 27617
(919) 957-2000
Thursday 3/7/13 @ 8PM
(Meet @ Best Buy in Brier Creek)

If you meet on a weekend there is a 25% chance I'd be able to attend since I'm in Raleigh about once a month. :D

ApoNono 02-28-2013 09:14 PM

Thursdays are no good for me. I can do Monday, Wednesday or Fridays. With the occasional Tuesday.

I would be up for bi-weekly meets. BWW sounds like a good choice.

If you want more beer and less food we could meet up at the Big Boss Brewery on occasions.

I say we all hit up Rush Hour one weekend

I second this idea. For anyone not familiar with the place, here is a link to their website: http://www.rushhourkarting.com/

That place is a blast

NotSoJDM 03-01-2013 02:08 PM

VIR also has fantastic carts and is outdoor. I believe it's $25 for 15minute session. But groups rates are probably better.

DP82 03-01-2013 07:23 PM

Hey fellas, I'll catch some of y'all tomorrow @ C&C - Waverly Place and hope to see some new faces and fresh cars! I'll brave the cold elements, please no rain(!), and will likely show up around 8am. I need a break from my work alarm in the mornings! Especially after this morning... I somehow fell asleep on my chest/stomach with both arms tucked underneath my head pillow which I found out the hard way is perfect physical and psychological torture when the alarm wakes you at 6AM! Cant move... try hitting that disarm alarm button less than 3 feet away with dead arms due to lack of blood circulation... I promise it is absolute torture! Haha!

Again, I should be there around 8AM so hopefully the parking will be easy to group up. As for meets outside of once a month I've no idea what my preference is, but I cannot meet Wednesday evenings. Anywhere works within reason to the Raleigh area.

Enjoy your evening! See ya around!

I live in Brier Creek, I'll be there Thursday

See you there!

WolfpackS2k 03-05-2013 09:38 AM

Hey guys I wanted to introduce myself and say hello. I traded in my S2000 for a BRZ Limited at Johnson Subaru in Cary one month ago and want to start getting involved with the "local club" of owners.

I loved my S2000 but I wanted a coupe, and a BRZ was basically the closest thing!

So, hello everyone!:happyanim:

Oh, and this Thursday doesn't work for me but I will try to make whatever event is planned after that one!

ApoNono 03-05-2013 07:27 PM

Welcome to the 86 family WolfpackS2K

DP82 03-05-2013 09:22 PM

Hmm, another former S2K owner going to a SWP LE BRZ! I'm thinking we must be related somehow?! And also from Johnson Subaru of Cary as well! I know those guys go above and beyond their service to customers :) (yeah, my honest plug as they deserve it!)

So! We may make a larger dent in those C&C meets @ Waverly Place with SWP colors... that'll be nice! Well, it'll be good to catch up sometime in the near future!

*If you were at the last C&C and we met then I apologize as my memory skips off the beaten path quite a bit

ImAwesome 03-05-2013 10:51 PM

haha i use to have an 05 s2k

DP82 03-05-2013 11:28 PM

I'm willing to bet I've spoken with almost a half of a dozen former S2000 people on this forum who switched factions to Subaru! Nice job sniping the upper echelon sports car enthusiasts Subaru (eh, and Toyota)!

It's good to see some of that faction locally showing up! I just emphasized that particular convert a little more due to his choice of trim and color which matches mine exactly!

You guys trading out with the AP2s :o I had an AP1

ImAwesome 03-06-2013 12:14 AM

look in my list. Same thing i have, haha. My s2k was also white

DP82 03-06-2013 07:06 AM

Ah, I missed that as most of the time I read and reply using my phone's forum app which doesn't show signatures! I just happened to catch that particular reply on a computer :) Well, again, that makes me smile! Excellent choice! Thanks for pointing that out too!

NotSoJDM 03-06-2013 12:55 PM

Looking like attendance will be thin tomorrow. So lets take a vote on new day to meet.

Just reply with a day of week and time.

Thanks!

I couldn't make C&C last weekend, was busy with something else. I hope to attend the next one though!

DP82 03-06-2013 03:08 PM

So, the plan to meet tomorrow night is dead? I was planning on catch that dinner in Brier Creek, but I'll hope to attend the next if not tomorrow (again, Wednesdays are no good for me, but I'm fairly flexible any other day) Hope the day is faring well for all!

NotSoJDM 03-06-2013 04:51 PM

I'm still good for tomorrow. Just wont be in the BRZ. Only seen one person, now 2, say they're going so wasn't sure if people wanted to change it. Either way we can plan for future events tomorrow night. See you there.

DP82 03-06-2013 10:40 PM

I'll plan on heading out there as it'll be good to start hammering some plans out. Still shooting for the same place, BestBuy, and time, 8PM? Quick confirmation as I have a bad habit of assuming things that have been changed.

Have a great evening and I'll catch up tomorrow!

ApoNono 03-06-2013 11:14 PM

Let me know what you all figure out for plans.

I am good Monday, Wednesday or Fridays. I have standing family plans for Thursday and Sunday.

If Thursday ends up being the best date I will see what I can work out but can't promise anything.

Correct. Meet at best buy parking lot in brier creek at 8, then well go get dinner once everyone arrives.

My BRZ is in the shop, so I'll be in a green Nissan 240SX.

ImAwesome 03-07-2013 07:47 PM

Ill be about 10 mins behind

DP82 03-07-2013 10:23 PM

Okay, white wins this night! SWP FTW! Haha Was good to put faces with online handles especially with red noses! Dang, it was cold out! A good start with the meets, hopefully timing tweaks improve turnout!

ECUtrav 03-17-2013 11:31 AM

When's the next meet?

NotSoJDM 03-20-2013 03:08 PM

Looking to meet next on the 26th at 8. Any suggestions on a meet spot?

ECUtrav 03-20-2013 09:13 PM

Damn, I just got free tickets for Carolina Hurricanes and its on the 26th

DP82 03-20-2013 11:12 PM

So, does anyone here drive a black BRZ I didn't look down to check the wheels unfortunately? I passed one after work around 5:15-20 as they were turning left off of Lead Mine Rd (I don't happen to recall the crossroad). One of those random sightings! Anyway, whatever restaurant is chosen I'm game to go with the plans. Free Carolina Hurricanes tickets is most definitely a prize to enjoy!

redcelica 03-21-2013 12:44 PM

Hi from Raleigh!

Name is Brett and I am with the Honda S2000 group. I have met several of you at Cars and Coffee. My buddy Heath (sn: Nothing) just picked up a '13 turbo FRS yesterday and looking forward to seeing him participate in the events/track days.

I've met Drew and a few of his buds along the way, but am wondering what things you guys do on a regular basis (Dragon events, back of the dragon, other drives, track events, autox's, etc etc)?

NotSoJDM 03-21-2013 04:34 PM

I participate in SCCA/THSCC autocrosses as well as their HPDEs. You can like our FB page "FT86 Club of the Carolinas". I post up all autox/track days up there. Other members do as well.

redcelica 03-21-2013 05:20 PM

sweet :thumbup: Looking forward to meeting you guys.

Mustang Club is having a $295 for two days w/ instructor at CMP June 1st for those interested.

https://www.motorsportreg.com/index....CE30#.UUt6DRdq

Yall bring your FRS/BRZs out :)

DP82 03-23-2013 11:34 PM

Ah, I see now you did find this thread! Well now, you cover all of the web-forum bases good!

I'm slowly becoming an active online member, so, we'll see if I manage to keep up with this blitz you're rolling out with! Haha!

I do have an aversion of posting names though. I'm paranoid of what goes on the internet is there FOREVER. Maybe in time I'll get used to it... we'll see though!

It's good to add another element of familiarity though! Well, I'll see what other mischief I can find unraveling from the S2000 brothers here!

DP82 03-24-2013 12:06 AM

Oh, weird... I forgot I have a homeowners meeting that night at 7pm on the 26th. Well, I'll have to miss that evening meet as well it seems! Tuesdays definitely don't like to work with me much!

I may be late anyways due to work. We shall see!

Nothing 03-26-2013 02:14 PM

So are we still on for tonight? Do we have a list of who's coming?

DP82 03-26-2013 03:11 PM

No list compiled as of yet on who's planning on going this evening, but I do expect it is a go! My guess is somewhere in the neighborhood of 4-5 people showing up. There is not a set standard on claiming a spot so it's show up if you can, lax like!
