OFFICIAL STL MEET: Round 2

[cosmos///m3]

Alright fellas... that time is right around the corner with the weather looking better and better every day. I thought now would be the best time to set up a date for a car meet early spring.

Last year was a huge success with lots of people and plenty of great looking cars!!! Im glad I had a chance to put something together for everyone to enjoy. I hope we can make this year even larger!!!

Tentative Agenda:
1. Meet & Greet/Eat @ Brick House Tavern + Tap (~11-3)
2. Photo Shoot
3. Cruise
4. Night out at the bars/clubs

Last Years Meet:
http://www.m3forum.net/m3forum/showthread.php?t=351002

Now that I have gotten some feedback this is the "Official Plan"

DATE: Saturday, March 31, 2012
LOCATION: Brick House Tavern + Tap
TIME: 11AM---->

GOOGLE MAP:
2 McBride & Son Center Dr. Chesterfield, MO 63005

This year, since the park/shelter was already reserved. We are going to try something new! The plan is to meet at Brick House Tavern + Tap. I have contacted the manager and they have informed me we are free to park in there parking lot or the adjacent McBride & Son parking lot, being a business that is closed on Saturdays that shouldnt be an issue. Also for any of you guys needing hotels... There are 2 hotels right behing the Brick House.

Dont let the location make you believe this wont be a good time! I believe we can park hang out and talk about our cars for ~1-2 hours then get a bite to eat a few drinks ~1-2 hours... then photo shoot locations/drive.... Party Time!!!


PHOTOSHOOT:
My intentions are as follows:
-Leave Brick House Tavern and drive to STL Motorsports (literally right down the road) take a few photos and pictures there... maybe even check out the inventory (Im sure upon 10+ trade-ins we can get something nice )
-Leave STL Motorsports and drive towards downtown, at which we take photos at an old industrial building type setting (always makes for kickass pictures)

CRUISE:
Still working on this, I have a small route that I am looking at, but I figure with the BBQ & Drive to the photoshoot locations it might be enough for everyone? Also not sure if time will permit. Give me some feed back, Im sure some nice spirited highway drives will be "ok" for many

NIGHT TIME:
As many of you will not be able to make it that is understandable, but for those who will... You can let me know I will call around for group rates on hotels or you can make reservations on your own or sleep in your car :hmm:
Sami has great connections and get get us VIP service in multiple STL clubs... So needless to say it should be a GREAT time... As some of the guys from last year know

KC Guys/Other out of town guys... I really hope many of you come and caravan down together, if you ahve any hesitation, ask Brad if it was worth it last year... You wont be disappointed

[Boostin FD]

I probably won't make the meet, but there is an SCCA autocross the following day (Sunday 4/1/2012) at Gateway International Raceway which is now called Gateway Motorsports Park in Madison, IL right across the river from St. Louis.

If anyone comes in from out of town, this would be a great way to make a weekend out of the trip.

Show up at around 7:00-8:00am and sign up, it'll be a fun day. I'll be there with my E90 M3. You can expect at least 4 runs at an STL event, sometimes more depending on turnout. The cost last year was $35 I believe but 2012 event fees haven't been posted yet.

If anyone is interested please feel free to contact me and/or check out http://www.stlsolo.org for event details as we get closer to the event.

Most people's cars on the forums probably slot nicely into the STU class which is a class for street-tired high-hp cars with basic performance and cosmetic modifications like suspension, wheels, brakes, exhaust, engine tunes, etc.

You can make the autox...but no bbq/meet

Naw its all cool man... If anything changes please let me know, I would love to see you there.... And thanks for passing along the info I will post it up else where and let the other guys know

[Richbot]

Priorites. Standing next to the car vs. doing something in it, and only time for one or the other

I may be interested in doing this... Haven't tracked my m yet... Should be fun.

[cosmos///m3]

List Updated!!! Hope to see you guys soon... keep spreading the word!!

[cosmos///m3]

So got some news...

After calling STL Parks & Rec I found out that the Taco Bell Shelter we reserved last year is reserved already..... So right now we have 2 options

1. Reserve another shelter at another park. Just need to have someone in STL at the current moment scope out the location... Still have BBQ, Photo Shoot, ETC...

2. Just have the meet at a Hooters or something similar. No BBQ obviously, then after wards still have photo shoot, cruise, etc...


Suggestions???

[Boostin FD]

Depending on weather... it may be better to just meet at Hooters or something similar...

think i'm going to try and make it out to this as well. haven't gotten a chance to track mine either and coming from a awd sti should make it interesting.

I'll be at the meet as well and can bring some monies

[mousitch]

Ill try to make it Possibly might have her put back together by then. You still have the black M3 Cosmo? I totaled the Roadster and now have a coupe.

[Epacy2]

Should have posted this in the IL forum too. There are some of us just across the river!

I will do that as soon as im 100% on where we are meeting... I think Im moving it to http://brickhousetavernandtap.com/lo...-chesterfield/


I feel like this should be easily accessible for everyone. Hotel not even 200 yards away. I know a park is ideal, but this way it would be just like a "cars & coffee" meet. We can all meet BS and talk about cars for a few hours in the parking lot, walk inside get a burger and few drinks... BS about cars some more... then photo shoot and whatever else.

Parking may be the only issue... but there are plenty of places that could hold us around the boones crossing area. If its a bad idea then we will try something different next year...
