15th Anniversary Meet Status

[Rotorflyr]

So whats going on with this meet?
There are 48 slots on the sign up thread, and only 4 on the hotel confirmation list...........

Have any activities been planed? Has Subaru been contacted about the meet?

Is this meet even going to really happen?

Or are 4 or 5 SVX's going to show up in Lafayette and be sitting in a hotel parking lot doing nothing..................

Have any activities been planned? Nothing official except maybe a tour of the Lafayette plant.

Has Subaru been contacted about the meet? I don't believe so. Subaru was involved long before this during the 10th. I don't even think they know we plan on coming

Is this meet even going to really happen? As I said here almost a year ago, as a true Meet, I still give it a 0-25% chance of actually happening!

See my sentiments and those of others in THIS THREAD

Or are 4 or 5 SVX's going to show up in Lafayette and be sitting in a hotel parking lot doing nothing. Standing around, taking photos, shooting the breeze, whatever

But Lafayette is a little only 51 days away...


and the hotel reservation cutoff date is TOMORROW

This is what happens when Larry doesnt plan the meet.

I guess you can officially remove me from that list.

[LarryIII]

Rosie and I are not going to attend the 15th Anniversary SVX Meet either.

But, I expect a larger turnout for the 20th Anniversary Meet than there was for the 10th Anniversary Meet (96 SVXes) because John Earl and myself are goin to run it. John and Earl, you've just been volunteered.since I can't do it alone anymore.

I want a minimum of 115 SVXes at the 20th.

OH YEAH BABY!

The lack of enthusiasm is giving me cold feet, especially when you are investing up to a grand to go.
The annual TurboBrick meet is is 2 weeks and they have car show, track day, dynos, Saturday night party and more set up.

It's too bad that no one close to Lafayette will step up and run with it...

[svxcess]

Lafayette 2 is a little only 7 WEEKS away...
The hotel reservation cutoff date has passed. Any new reservations will be made at 95.00-105.00/night, instead of the $72.00 group rate that was negotiated.

According to their current availability, there are not a lot of rooms left for these dates. See the room availability HERE

Before I die it is my goal is to see every SVX that attends Lafayette or Reading show up with historic tags


and to see a shade of lipstick and matching nail polish especially created for Rosie that is named "ATF Pink".... available at Nordstroms and other fine stores

No problem Larry. I will be happy to help out anyway I can. I am sure John is willing too. This will be a big one for sure.

I have looked at the original signup sheet, the actual number of rooms reserved vs. the actual number confirmed, the deterrant of increased room costs because of the reservation cutoff, and a comparison of the enthusiasm level that was evident 7 weeks before the 10th meet. (go back there and refresh your memory)

With no formula to follow, except gut instinct, I am afraid that I will have to lower my original 0-25% odds downward to 0-15%.

The Maryland SVX Meet ("Reading 8.27") generated a lot more enthusiasm, with a lot less time spent in planning. Autocrosses, maintenance and tech sessions, cookouts and barbeques, live music...

Where is Reading 8.5 being held? I want to sign up.
