I'm still tentative, it will depend on my girlfriend's college schedule.

What is the game plan? Those two places are not very close to each other.

https://www.facebook.com/events/456934667740967/ replace "spaceface" with "spacebook" with an "f" instead of "sp" lol

but to a thread or anything - no.

yeah, we caravan. mad fun.
also, both days are not required. you can just come to one or the other for example. i only went to the track day last year, no dyno.

postby **Mazduh** » 01/17/14 @ 18:21

Hmmmm... That's only a 9hr drive for me. Maybe I'll make it. :phillyb™:

postby **phillyb™** » 01/18/14 @ 12:19

please do!
if teejay can travel 4000 miles, then you can drive 9 hours!

postby **ezmfne** » 01/18/14 @ 14:08

So, any info would be cool
I'm not compatible with spaceface
I has no friends (only enemies) and HATE everything (not a single "like" in me)
I take it this is not Miata specific? Looks like Mazda only?
Any swap meets or vendors in attendance?
I'm looking for a good meet that is closer to my area (could this be the one?)

postby **phillyb™** » 01/18/14 @ 15:19

edge autosport will be attending. last year, they raffled a turbo.
not sure if any other vendors will be there, but i'd assume so.
it's mostly a mazdaspeed3, mazdaspeed6 crowd, but we are more than welcome to crash their party.

this is a recurring meet once a year, so it's not like a good meet you can attend regularly. :tits:

postby **mx5militia** » 01/19/14 @ 00:32

i'll be there

postby **phillyb™** » 01/19/14 @ 19:31

little bit of an update @Highschool and @Derek - this may be right up everyone's alley

i'll talk to sideshow and see if we can do a friday morning meet on 4/11/14 at planet-miata.
we all bring our parts and we all trade shit - etc. whatever.
11-2 is what i'm thinking.

then drive to dc for the blackhawks/capitals game at the united center.
the drive from swoyersville to the verizon center is roughly 3 hours 45 minutes in ideal conditions.
if we were to leave by 2 from planet miata, we can find parking and get to the game in time.
game time is 7pm. we'll be rooting for the blackhawks of course. lol.

it will be fun.

caturday let's do some touristy shit.
i'll be bringing jack. teejay will be here. bring your gf's, let's do some fun shit and then sunday 4/13, go the track event mentioned in the op.

@Mazduh @Derek @Highschool @eastcoasters

postby **mx5militia** » 01/19/14 @ 19:47

thanks for including @mx5militia, dick head.

sounds like a fun time to me. fingers crossed that i can score my MB west chester job and be able to save up some money for that weekend. Drive in see some monuments in our Miatas? That'd make for some awesome photos. lots of miatas hard parked, big erect cement penis sticking up behind them.

postby **phillyb™** » 01/19/14 @ 20:24

exactly.
we'll make the money work. it's very beneficial to be on phillyb™'s side. iGet my way

postby **Highschool** » 01/20/14 @ 18:42

@phillyb™ - I'm in for the hang. I'd like to start looking for places to rent or stay in the very near future to keep this cost effective.

oh, forgot to mention. I have 2 weeks of vaca to burn on top of a few personal days.... we could do more.

postby **Derek** » 01/27/14 @ 10:02

Any word on hotel or hockey game?

postby **phillyb™** » 01/27/14 @ 12:12

i need an accurate head count.
evan also texted me the other day - how do you cats feel about potentially camping instead of the hotel?

my biggest concern would be then...where would we do it and how close to the verizon center is it?
the thing i like about the potential of getting a hotel is that it'll be close to everything.

postby **Derek** » 01/27/14 @ 12:58

And the weather in April can be volatile, it could be comfortable to camp or it could be cold.

postby **phillyb™** » 01/27/14 @ 13:52

true.
let's stick with the hotel idea.
still need an accurate head count. or at least find out how many rooms we'll need...
me and jack
highschool and wifey?
@mx5militia and @Derek
ghey sex

postby **Highschool** » 01/28/14 @ 01:21

Haha. Ghey.

Camping anyone?

postby **Derek** » 01/28/14 @ 09:08

I'm in only if mx5militia doesn't push back. If he does, that's just gay.

postby **phillyb™** » 01/28/14 @ 21:03

postby **phillyb™** » 02/02/14 @ 12:30

bump - looking at rooms.
the fairfield inn and suites is around 50/night and it's right next to the verizon center. it's probably the best idea.

@Derek @Highschool
HEAD COUNT PLEASE
the earlier the better.

postby **phillyb™** » 02/02/14 @ 12:30

@mx5militia

postby **Derek** » 02/02/14 @ 13:28

Just me. $50 a night sounds good.

postby **phillyb™** » 02/02/14 @ 13:32

yeah, 50 a night is easy peasy

postby **phillyb™** » 02/02/14 @ 17:32

added a "confirmed" list to the op

postby **mx5militia** » 02/02/14 @ 23:23

sorry, didn't see this until meow. I am still in! camping would be fun... but where would we shit?

postby **Derek** » 02/02/14 @ 23:29

In the woods.

postby **mx5militia** » 02/02/14 @ 23:37

lets strap a slack line on two of our roll bars.

postby **Derek** » 02/03/14 @ 08:53

I'll steal my roommates from the backyard.

But I don't have a roll bar.

postby **sj_ripples** » 02/03/14 @ 14:35

oh shit, thats only like 2.5 hours away for me. If i'm still here i'm probably down

postby **phillyb™** » 02/03/14 @ 14:40

Double date with Big D, or bring the wife and land a second room....

postby **phillyb™** » 03/06/14 @ 17:28

bump.
head count.
i talked to @mx5militia today who will possibly be bringing some folks to planet-miata.
not sure about the hockey game or other stuff yet.
but hockey game should be really fun. i'm starting to look at tickets. we should buy them sooner than later since the caps may be looking at a #playoffpush toward the end of the season (we're going to the second to last game of the season).

postby **Derek** » 03/06/14 @ 17:32

I'm in for DC, Planet Miata is still on the fence. If I do not make it up on Friday, I'll join you guys as you run past Philly.

It will just be me, myself and I.

postby **mx5militia** » 03/10/14 @ 12:19

Make sure the hotel has a gym, I don't want to loose my mass.

postby **Derek** » 03/10/14 @ 13:11

Make sure the hotel also has a good restaurant, I also don't want to lose my mass.
