Dayton, OH 9-21-13 Neon meet

Midnight_Rider · Post by **Midnight_Rider** » Mon Aug 12, 2013 1:39 pm

Eric has been busy with work so I'm going to go ahead and start a meet thread.

Location will be the same as the Spring meet. I've quoted Eric's comments from the Spring meet thread:

ejclide wrote:It's TIME for the next Dayton OH meet.

Meet Location - Parking lot next to Beef-O-Brady's in Beavercreek OH. (Basically Dayton)
3347 Seajay Dr, Beavercreek, OH 45430

Meet Time - 12:00. We will probably head in for lunch around 1:00 or 1:30 depending on feedback closer to the meet.

Directions:

I'm going to avoid posting confusing directions covering all potential directions because there are multiple ways to get there from every direction. However, here's the last bit.

You will either be on N. Fairfield Rd. heading south about to turn into the shopping center to your right, or you will be going straight through the exit off of US35 east. Either way, when you turn into the shopping center (Seajay Dr.) you will see a Burger King on your right and the shopping center on your left. Go past the "entrance" with the do not enter sign, and take the next left. Beef-O-Brady's is straight ahead!

Either day should work for me. Since I am local: if you need help with organizing the event just let me know.

9/17 would be the better one for me, but I have a trip to Flint on Labor Day Weekend, so funds may be a bit tight. :/

I guess 9/14 was what was actually meant...

I appreciate that.

We can certainly chip in for a tank of gas if you hang out with us.

Everyone keep on posting which date you prefer and I'll tally for the winner.

Agreed, Gramps. We'll make sure you can get out here OD.

Either date I could make. Hopefully we can have another strong turnout.

Midnight_Rider · Post by **Midnight_Rider** » Thu Aug 15, 2013 12:54 am

Date is now set for 9-21-13 so mark your calendars.

Is Eric coming?

Right now my program at work is in the process of getting production approval from GM, and the manufacturing plant for our program is in Matamoros. So I've unfortunately been spending a LOT of time south of the border. I'm usually good on weekends as long as I can plan around it.

I'm hoping that he'll be able to make it but I haven't heard from him since this PM on the 7th. I went ahead and set up the meet myself since we were running out of time to let everyone know and to make arrangements.

Bumpage- I need a head count so that I'll know what to tell Beef O'Bradys.

I will be busy all sept

Midnight_Rider · Post by **Midnight_Rider** » Tue Aug 20, 2013 12:36 am

Post post up if you want to attend!
I can't make the call to reserve space at the restaurant if I don't know how many people plan to attend.

Boyscoutgonebad · Post by **Boyscoutgonebad** » Tue Aug 20, 2013 12:58 am

cant say for sure, depends on work, so it would have to be a last minute decision for me.

Midnight_Rider · Post by **Midnight_Rider** » Tue Aug 20, 2013 1:07 am

I hear all of this talk about FB so maybe that's why there are so few posts on this thread. IIRC, there has been just one definite "yes" (thomas_w) so far.

ianguilly · Post by **ianguilly** » Wed Aug 21, 2013 4:15 pm

I'll be there for sure. let me ask the Cincinnati crew, none of them are on 2gn.

Thank you! I'm really hoping that we can all get together one more time this year. The last meet was such a success (largely due to Eric organizing it

).

Got one guy whos all for going, my other friend will probably end up caving and coming up.

Midnight_Rider · Post by **Midnight_Rider** » Sat Aug 24, 2013 1:38 pm

Fantastic!

A local 2GN member who doesn't post often is planning to attend. I gave him printed directions to Beef O'Brady's today. Here is an old thread about his SRT:
viewtopic.php?t=55394
He will probably be driving his 1GN to the meet though.

ianguilly · Post by **ianguilly** » Mon Aug 26, 2013 10:52 pm

Bcon and his brother said they are coming.

Midnight_Rider · Post by **Midnight_Rider** » Tue Aug 27, 2013 1:26 am

^^Great! I appreciate your helping to get the word out.

I still need a headcount of who is definitely coming before I call the restaurant.

gramps i should be able to attend this one. i don't work sat (9/21) and it looks like that weekend is free. neon isn't running yet (still waiting on symtech) so ill have to drive my non mopar beater, if i can make it. ill let you know.

ianguilly · Post by **ianguilly** » Wed Aug 28, 2013 4:07 pm

So bcon and his brother confirmed they are coming. Me along with my friend tim are coming, possibly 1 more if he's not busy.

Woo-hoo!

So y'all think that I should reserve space for maybe 15 people?

Yeah 15 should be fine, even I'f that many people don't show up we would better off have enough seating.

thomas_w · Post by **thomas_w** » Thu Aug 29, 2013 1:49 pm

It wasn't overly busy at that restaurant last year. So even if we end up having more people show up they can probably still accommodate us.

Midnight_Rider · Post by **Midnight_Rider** » Mon Sep 02, 2013 1:48 am

Cool, I will contact them this week.

I'm planning to wash my car next Sunday to prep for the meet (still have all of the Carlisle dirt on it

- that's me slapping myself for being lazy).

Midnight_Rider · Post by **Midnight_Rider** » Tue Sep 10, 2013 10:40 am

A reservation has been made for Beef O'Brady's

Chicago Room

(where we sat the last time), with us walking in between 1:00 and 1:30 on the 21st.

thomas_w · Post by **thomas_w** » Tue Sep 10, 2013 1:25 pm

Thanks David, looking forward to it. I still have to clean the Neon since I got caught in the rain.

Midnight_Rider · Post by **Midnight_Rider** » Tue Sep 17, 2013 3:50 am

I just hope that the turnout will be as great as Eric's last meet there.

The meet is this coming Saturday!
