Alero / Grand Am Beach Bash 07

[Naich]

Me and Orion were discussing an idea about having a show on the east coast. And nothing represents the East Coast like the Jersey shore, right? So what would you think about me organizing a meet for us in Sleazeside (er, Seaside I mean) for August 07? I was thinking we could arrive on a Friday, party, spend a day at the beach Saturday & car show saturday night, and then Sunday at the track?

I could book a bunch of rooms at one of those slightly nasty hotels in seaside, where we could freely drink & stuff.

Anybody got any ideas for AGABB? Anyone interested?

[Orion]

As Naich (Nick) stated we are looking for people interested, so we can keep track of everyone and get an overall idea as time rolls by. (the next few months) We will start to really put things together with numbers and dates and such in March or so. But for now, who is Interested? I know we can get people from the USA all up and down the East Coasts, along with Canada.:)

List of People will be started alittle later :P

[SweetNLow]

get rid of the "grand am" part and id come

[Orion]

Well this is why this forum was created, why "wouldn't you" like the GA's to come?

[battistoni21]

def count me in.... i live in western pa.... maybe we can arrange a convoy pa-ohio

[Orion]

Great Battistoni21, Where in Western PA? I go to school at Shippensburg University.

[FantomForceCustoms02]

Might have to get in on this depending on how my car looks next year.

[aleromod101]

If I can get an address or something to see how far it is. Im In most likely so get me a address so I can see. Thank you.

[DanM7890]

get rid of the "grand am" part and id come

come on man dont be hatin!

[SweetNLow]

ga owners are aholes for the most part.

and this is awfuly far in adavance to ask people wether or not they would be able to come isnt it?

why dont the east coast guys come to lansing for ASS and homecoming? this way you would see plenty of aleros along with supporting the oldsmobile club of america.

if aftermath can drive 20 hours from texas eastcoast people should be able to drive it as well.

[Redog]

You're talking about Aug 2007 now?!?!? 13 months away. It's not that far for me to drive, but that's way too far ahead for me to plan

[Naich]

yeah, august 07. I'm not actually asking ppl to commit right now, just trying to put something out there.

And about ASS, I don't see any problem with having 2 shows. Personally, with my schedule, I can't make it to Lansing all the time. It is a really long drive. And this would be able to hopefully draw ppl from up and down the coast.

Right now this is mostly about getting ideas for the meet.

[Daytona]

Put me down as perhaps possibly tentatively tentative. :D

[Orion]

hahah nicly put Daytona

[NjRef511]

Put me down as an..."if 3400 lasts me that long..."

[AlbinoMonkeyRat]

If I still have my license around then, I'll be in.

[Orion]

haha I love it NjRef511 ... " if 3400 lasts me that long" <-- I hear ya man
&
AlbinoMonkeyRat, on the edge when it comes to points left on the licenses?

[AlbinoMonkeyRat]

haha I love it NjRef511 ... " if 3400 lasts me that long" <-- I hear ya man
&
AlbinoMonkeyRat, on the edge when it comes to points left on the licenses?
well, they normally suspend licenses when we get to 12 points. I have 17 and I just got a ticket on Sunday night...a big one too. I might have enough to suspend 2 licenses.

[viciousmalibu]

so you are including ga's but not bu's? what is up with that? there are a lot of people out there with niceass bu's.

[Orion]

We would love to have you ViciousMalibu ;)

[NjRef511]

haha I love it NjRef511 ... " if 3400 lasts me that long" <-- I hear ya man
&
AlbinoMonkeyRat, on the edge when it comes to points left on the licenses?

yep, as of right now, I say a prayer for it before I turn the key, and another when I put it into gear.

[Orion]

ahha, ur a holy man! lol

[AlbinoMonkeyRat]

the logo for the meet would have to be an Anal/Lumbar Ideogram. (picture of an ass)

also, "anal lumbar ideogram" is an anagram for "Alero Malibu Grand Am". hehe

[NjRef511]

ahha, ur a holy man! lol

Nope, the only thing holy, or full of holes, is my engine's gaskets *drumtap*

[Orion]

haha we are not going to figure out logos for anything just yet, we are going to get flags though, or magnets. Depends ..

I was either thinking a magnet we could put on the hoods like this one (Gumball 3000 Magnet)
http://www.bmwworld.com/racing/images/gumball3000_e36.jpg

or a flag like used at GAP

Whats your guys thoughts?

[Oldsman]

well good luck. i for one will not be able to go.

there is nothing wrong with 2 events for aleros. but you don't want them too close to each other thats for sure.

so are guys going to rent a track? be prepared for massive cost on that. also. before you guys go thinking about all these fancy things to give everyone you might want to figure cost of registration if your going to have one.

well at least you will have the GA people to do most of it.

[Orion]

Umm we will probley not rent the track, seeing as thats crazy expensive. Plus we don't see this being a huge huge event. If we got 25 cars, i would be happy. It's all just an idea now.

[AlbinoMonkeyRat]

but if we can make sure everybody at least knows that there is an idea floating around, it might perk some interest and maybe some people can get some potential sponsors, or at least cheap free stuff to offer as door prizes and whatnot.

But we definitely need something in August because:
-August is sooooo boring as it is
-June has ASS and September has the Falls meet(s), July is typically busy for everyone anyway
-who else was actually going to take a vacation in August anyway? Getting time off should be NO problem, except for military people and newly hired people.


Question though:
is this just going to be for the LAST Gen. of the N-Body, as in 99-04 Grand Ams, Aleros, and 97-03(?) Malibus, or are we including all the Grand Ams, and modern Malibus also?

[Orion]

I haven't discussed that( The Years and Models) with Nick but I think anything will go there AlbinoMonkeyRat. As for door prizes and stuff, I think we could put together some prizes and stuff for the show, and also for the track. WE will figure this out as time passes, such things would be put into the cost and all ofcourse. I mean if we could get sponsors to give prizes that would be great, but we shall see. Thank you AlbinoMonkeyRat for supporting the idea ;)

[doubleN0alero]

i can do it as long as its not too late in the month because football practice will start back up!!!!

[Orion]

Sweet, I am glad to hear Double0Alero ;) We will plan according then for ya :P

[Orion]

aleromod101If I can get an address or something to see how far it is. Im In most likely so get me a address so I can see. Thank you.


Seaside Heights, NJ, 08752

[AlbinoMonkeyRat]

NYIRP (quarter-mile track in NY) charges $500 for renting a track for a group of 1-10 vehicles for a 6 hour session, and $50 per vehicle after that. I would assume the NJ track has a similar ballpark for the prices, correct?

[NjRef511]

I'd think that they would want to check out Raceway Park in Englishtown, NJ. I'm pretty sure thats the closest track to fleaside. Why not have something like this down in Wildwood, then go to Atco?

[jackal2000]

im down...............

[Orion]

Umm Seaside Heights in 30 mins from Englishtown, thats why we are doing it there. :) That cool. YEAH JACKAL2000 glad to hear

[Naich]

well i don't know of any malibu sites. i was going to work with grandamgt.com cuz i know those guys. malibus would be welcome.

[Orion]

What he said ;)

[NjRef511]

Umm Seaside Heights in 30 mins from Englishtown, thats why we are doing it there. :) That cool. YEAH JACKAL2000 glad to hear

I remembered after I had posted >_<

[Naich]

wildwood might be a good alternative too, seeing that it is a bit nicer of an area. and atco isn't that far away.

[joealmighty13]

I think aug 07 i could do. il have to see where my car is by then. but i think id defintely make the trip. i live in western NY so it would only be like 10 hours. but i def like the idea of gettin us all together. plus i like alcohol and parties. giggity!!

[Orion]

Both areas are promising

[xmzx]

I'd go but I know noone, but by Aug. 07 I should be acquainted with you cats. Only a ~4 hour drive for me. I can get Marriott hotels for ~$39-70 a night.

[Orion]

Sweet, I think we could work a deal out with a hotel. Also XmZx I have not met anyone on the Aleromod forum except for Reddog. And I have been a member for years. So this will be my first time also ;P

[doubleN0alero]

Yeah a deal on the hotel would be awesome. Redog is the only person from the EC that i've met as well except for some GA guys, so it will be good to meet mitch and nick finally. you all should make an effort to come to ass though...if you don't want to do it all in 1 day, you can always stay at my parents the night before...it makes it not so bad

[Kurt Zee]

sweet!! this sounds like a plan for me....mark me in for now. I'll try to see if i can sneak into my school without anybody recognizing me and see if i can work up some good "flyers" or something if you need me to.

oh.....i guess i don't count as an east coaster eh Brad!!! j/k!!

[doubleN0alero]

Zip your yapper Kurtis...i meant the northern people

[Daytona]

well, they normally suspend licenses when we get to 12 points. I have 17 and I just got a ticket on Sunday night...a big one too. I might have enough to suspend 2 licenses.

Not to take this totally off-topic, but a friend of mine in college racked up 33 points before he got his license taken away. When he got his court date moved out from Finals week to the end of the summer but of a speeding & resisting arrest incident he figured "I surely have over 12 points now so I'm gonna lose my license. Guess it doesn't matter what I do now." He proceeded to speed and make illegal turns all summer. By the time the court date came, all of the other tickets started rolling in and viola! - 33 points!

[Naich]

I am planning on going to ass next year. this year we're trying to save up for a condo, so that kind of put the axe to the idea of going this year. Plus I only have 2 weeks vacation, and i had to use a lot of it up with my family cruise earlier this year and my mom-in-law's cancer fight. But I plan on going to ass, and running this august meet both.

[burg03]

Put me in I just got my boo from out of the tint shop. Hopefully I will have coilovers by aug.07.

[Orion]

Aug 07 give ya plenty of time ;)

[jackal2000]

here;s the impala site http://www.naioa.com/v2/

those were the guys doing the dhp group buy that us aleros got screwed out of.

[burg03]

But I plan on going to ass, and running this august meet both.

when is this august meet?

[Orion]

It's next summer lol

[jackal2000]

us northern VA/md guys should have one this august

[burg03]

true that,.......say when and I am there!

[battistoni21]

Great Battistoni21, Where in Western PA? I go to school at Shippensburg University.

I live in Latrobe, its like 40-45 mins away from pittsburgh....

im like 10 mins away from greensburg and ligonier....

I'm going to be going off to college at California university of pa....

where do you live?

[battistoni21]

as long as its before college i should have no problem at all attending.....

[Orion]

I agree, with the college part, it will probley be the first week or second week in aug

[Redog]

I might not be able to make in in Aug. Racing is tight in Aug, usually every weekend

[battistoni21]

well then i should be good, as long as its not like the 3rd or 4th week:)

[Exit9alero]

hey i think thas a great idea i wanna meet up with more alero owners have fun n race and ur right jersey is the best place
:lol:

[Exit9alero]

HELL yEAH SEASIDE ALERO/ GRAND AM show that wud b sweet man Im Bringing Chicks lol

[doubleN0alero]

well from the looks of it, the first or second weekend would be the best for mostly everybody...so it'll be one of those 2

[Exit9alero]

well guys let me kno i really would like to meet up with other aleros and get more help to customize

[burg03]

Woooooooo cant wait to next summer

[Orion]

I am glad you are all excited about this and I hope as we begin to put things together you will still be able to join us.

[derek_ski99]

i'm game for a meet

[burg03]

I have already cleared my calender

[p1mptress]

Wow that took me like a good 20mins to read through this whole thread. LOL! I would be in to go!!! It's only 6hrs & 40mins from Western NY (Rochester). The only way I will not be able to go is: If something happens to my baby (my car DUH!), OR if my lisence is suspended by then since I have 10pts. on mine and Ny suspends it 12 and more. But I would be really looking forward to going & I'll have to get all my friends to go for our summer "All girls vacation". This year it was Myrtle Beach, But next year I think NJ would be nice especially b/c it's only a 7hour drive rather then a 15 hour drive. But I'M IN!!! Hopefully there's more people who will like to go so it will turn out to be more then like 5 people showing up.

[AlbinoMonkeyRat]

^ I have 23 points. if you mail it in, you get to keep your license, you just pay more fines. :D

[battistoni21]

ahhh myrtle beach..... i went every year of my life since this year cuz i gotta go to college..... :( i missed it......

i keep thinkin about this meet, and im gettin more excited everyday :) this should be fun

[p1mptress]

I went to Myrtle beach the first time this year and had a blast! I'm really excited about this meet and I'm glad it's like a year away so i can save up money and hopefully have more done to my car by then (hopefully my system in, underglows on <- i have both of those bought i'm just to lazy to install right now, and hopefully I'll be able to buy and have installed lowering springs & maybe a cat exhaust). It would be nice to meet everyone well most of everybody. Atleast I'll be meeting some people Tuesday when I go to Buffalo, NY to pick up an amp at Buffalo Wild Wings.

[burg03]

looking forward to seeing everybody there!!!!!!!!!!!!

[burg03]

I cant wait!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[jackal2000]

burg wtf double post lmao!


this should be a good meet if it happens...

[burg03]

Look Jack its been a nice loooooong while since I found a place where I ca be myself and not be scolded. So excuse me! Yes i am excited to be there,and yes I will be buying a fresh outfit for the meet!!! HA

[burg03]

hey are we still doin this thing next year?

[Orion]

Yes why?

[AlbinoMonkeyRat]

burg...lol...just because nobody posted anything in a whole week, doesn't mean that the status has changed. it's kinda tough to plan something like this a year in advance because things change, like people crashing cars, having kids, hotel rates going up, etc. My guess is there will be more solid information around February/March

[doubleN0alero]

maybe he was expecting a 100 page thread talking about this...problem with that is there is so much information that becomes tangled...i think the date and location has pretty much been set, now we're just waiting for the full logistics, which as was mentioned by randy won't be along for awhile because of the changes that occur daily..

[burg03]

ok. I am just excited about the whole alero meet thingy. In some cases people tend to get the outta site, outta mine thang going so...... Im good with the waiting till we get closer to the date for concrete info. Thanks guys!!!

[bratch15]

Orion, if you guys are goin in a pack and traveling route 80, you can probably count me in. I live in central pa close to Lewisburg, where route 15 and 80 meet. Let me know whats up with that.

[doubleN0alero]

I guess we should start planning on this thing.

[AlbinoMonkeyRat]

So who's going?

I can't make it to ASS or this because I'll be in Fort Gordon for both events (26 weeks of advanced training!) But I'm still interested in how the event goes down, because I can probably make these events in 2008.

[Gr1m]

lol i usually go to seaside over the summer so im down if this thing ever happens

[doubleN0alero]

too bad nobody wants to come down to myrtle beach....we're gettting a beach house for 3 days and 3 nights for $900. The place has 9 rooms.

[NjRef511]

I can't make ASS but I should be able to make this. Can't wait.

[doubleN0alero]

Somebody needs to step up and take point on this thing for planning. I've got entirely too much on my plate right now for me to even think about it. Maybe somebody that lives close and actualy has an idea of whats all there....Nick, Mitch?????????

[olds_03]

I'll go to Myrtle Beach! :)

[Naich]

I can take the lead on this after I get my house thing settled. I'll start planning it out in a month or so. I'm closing on friday.... and then renovations start.

This is going to happen.

[bratch15]

Anybody one here live close to central PA? Would def go I could meet up with someone and follow each other. Would be a very boring drive by myself. I'm gona try to get a guy I know from Sunbury to come too. Hes got a decked out Alero but I dont think hes a member of this site. Would that be ok Naich if a non member alero comes along?

[bratch15]

This will be my first car meet and I don't personally know anybody on this site so I don't want to feel left out since nobody knows me.

[shiny alero]

^^^^^^^^^ me too, maybe we can meet up and go together

[bratch15]

Sucks for us cuz you live NY and I live south of you. Off of route 15 actually in Central PA...

[SweetNLow]

I can take the lead on this after I get my house thing settled. I'll start planning it out in a month or so. I'm closing on friday.... and then renovations start.

This is going to happen.

so what are the details on this meet nick?

[SweetNLow]

????????????

[joealmighty13]

id be in for this if it happens. it prolly means il actually have to start doin more to my car though. but keep us posted someone.

[NjRef511]

If this happens, I'll certainly be there.

[rollinpropercc3]

i cant/didnt make the ASS in cuz of distance & work...but wanted to attend really bad....livin' in CT i can def. do Jersey...whats dates you got in mind????

[Exit9alero]

yo im all for seaside im from central jersey so the trip isnt a problem id deff like to meet up and just talk and shit you guys are like fam always helping me and my car woes

[STYeattes]

Im in Richmond Va, id drive up there for a weekend, plus my birthday is Aug. 12th and Ill have my promotion by then, yeah id be ready to party alero style...

[rollinpropercc3]

do we have a final date set yet? i would love to make it but need to get it squared away with work. august is our busiest time with back to school and all them kids/parenst buying supplies. but that can wait...aleros are priority number 1...lol

[Daytona]

Weekends in August are pretty much out for me due to my race schedule and other commitments. Saturday, September 1, there is a big Olds meet at Raceway Park in Englishtown, NJ ("Buick-Pontiac-Olds Get-Together") that Ken (Redog) and I are bringing our Aleros to. I highly recommend everyone coming out with their hos for that event, regardless of whether we're able to coordinate an actual beach meet here.

[-Alero-]

damn too far

[Daytona]

^No it's not. Knoxville's only about 11 hours away. :p I've done that drive before (out to Nashville from here actually).

[AleroGonzo]

Im in for the meet. I can come up any weekend. Lets make it happen =D

[Gr1m]

why not new york? :)

[AleroGonzo]

Lets meet in Baltimore (The Greatest City in America) as it says on the benches.

[p1mptress]

why not new york? :)
Yeah I agree with Gr1m. :rolleyes2:

[Daytona]

And NYC is less than an hour away from E'town for those wishing to head over there later or the night before.
