We already have the Long Beach established meet going on this Thursday. Like it was mentioned above, this meet was tried and really faded fast. There are already other meets that are in the same area. Not sure why everyone wants to constantly start new meets when there are ones already happening. Why not just come out to Autobacs and Long Beach???

I'm sure they are really "great" events but Ricky and Ronnies is a
real good venue for this type of gathering. Plus, it close for many of
us in the So. Bay area. What's wrong with adding one more event?
...not trying to rain on anyone's parade!
I'm going early for some good eats!!

You must live in the area and that's why this meet is good for you. Everyone wants a meet near their house, but that's just not reality. Long Beach is pretty close to the South Bay anyway (on the border really).
I began the Long Beach meet and I live over 30 minutes (with no traffic) from there.

I would like to venture down and visit with you people, down at Autobacs and Long Beach...one of these day though. I'll mention it to the guys on Thursday. See if anyone else is interested.

Have a good meet.
Have a good meet.
You know, it's all about the good times, meeting up with people and exchanging ideas.
Oh, and I almost forgot...the Cars!
Hope you guys have another great meet too!
...and I hope to one day, be bringing some our group out to one of your future meets.
Maybe we can change the day of our meet to Tuesday or Wednesday nights (Gabe) ??
We'll see...
Everyone take care....and most importantly...have a good time.

Hey guys,
Just wanted to clear a few things up and remind everyone that we are all here for fun and to enjoy our passion for cars. These post are invitations and if someone does not want to come or has somewhere else they would rather go then that's great.
This has nothing to do with being easy for anyone. This is simply the best spot to have a meet and came about because of the fact that we were closed down from the LAX meet and many of us and when I say us I am including several Z friends who wanted a location that was protected with no hassels and made for cars. That is what we have here. An exclusive, hassle free, food serving, big screen TV area just for us.
People drove from West LA and Orange county to come to this meet and will do so again thursday because of the great location. I understand that your Long beach meet is back and I think that's great. But I have changed and rescheduled and tried to not mess with so many other peoples meets and everyones feelings that I just cannot accomidate everybody, so we now just have a reserved slot and we are going to keep it for the first thursday of every month.
This meet will go on and is being advertised and promoted in many ways (my profession) and we have plans to turn it into an event that we all look forward to every month with sponsors and many surprises to come.
Also, this is not just another meet started for the heck of it, it is actually a combination of 2 other meets so that we don't have so many meets happening all over the place.
Please understand that I mean no disrespect here and I hope that you understand that I am just trying to explain things based on previous comments.
So in the end I hope everyone has a safe and fun time at whichever meet they choose to attend.

Cause if it were the latter, everyone wouldn't be trying to have a meet 5 mins from their respective houses but instead frequenting the already established meets.
...by the way, is there a "limit" on the number of meets (on any given night/day)??

You know why my last post was after 230 in the morning, because I just got home from the Burbank Krispy Kreme Meet. 30 miles away.
OH6 G35 has been all over so cal with me to meets and will continue to do so.
This meet is located here because it is the best location possible. There are 0/No police officers coming through the lot to kick us out. Food is available. Big Screen is on to watch games. Loud Music is welcomed. We have a total Photo Ready private area that can hold a 100 plus rides. What more could we want.
Man, I'm not trying to be rude but hey this is our thread. Please stop jacking it to tell people why not to come. I'm not messing with your Long Beach thread and no one is trying to force you to come to this meet. Can you please just let it go and have fun in Long Beach.
Respectfully
Gabe

Two?? ...maybe Three??
Doesn't seem excessive...
I think two or three good meets are good for all.
...this is great and would allow more people to get involved...and that's the bottom line - to get more people involved with all of us. I would like to see more "newbies" come out and enjoy. I remember how long it took me to finally get up the nerve to go out to my very first meet. It's kind of intimidating for some (me included) but I found out real fast how nice the people at these meets are and how helpful (informative) all are. ...even if your car is "stock"!

Gabe,
thanks...and boy, you sure were up late!!
...and I know how much work you put into this event and we are all very
appreciative for it!!
Let's all just have some good 'ol fashion fun...again "bottom line"...be it in Long Beach or Torrance...
Two "great" meets are much better than just one.
