RC-Monster.com Get-Together

[Batfish]

Mike and I are starting to kick around an idea and we'd like to know what you folks think about it.

We'd like to have a get-together for RC-Monster.com members where we rent a track for a couple days and have people stay over in a local motel/hotel on a Saturday night.
At this point, there are no solid plans, but we're thinking sometime in August 2006. The location is also not determined, but Mike has a track near him that would work, so NY is a possibility right now. Depending on how many people want to go we may need to find a different location to be compatible for people to drive to.

Please reply here with your location and how far you'd be willing to drive (in hours) so we can start to plan. Of course anyone is welcome to fly as well (for you overseas folks :) ). If we have enough people, I'm sure we can get a discount on a motel.

There are still a LOT of things to research and plan on before this can happen, but we'd like to get your feedback to see if it's something we should pursue.

Thank you!

I think it would be nice to get together for a weekend. I am in Ohio so any place in New york would work. August works as long as school has not started yet. Kinda tough for the left coats though.

[captain harlock]

VEEEEEEEERY tough for me. Absolutely impossible. I'm in the middle east, Saudi Arabia, though I look forward to drive with you people.

on the east coast or so sounds good to me. August don't sound bad. I have to make this. It would be awesome.

[squeeforever]

how about somewhere a little further south? like north carolina? newyorks a goodways from louisiana.....btw, how far is the big apple from orange county. that might make a nice vacation as long as school hasnt started yet....

[Batfish]

That's why I was asking people to post how far they would be willing to drive (in hours). For example, I'd be willing to drive about 8 hours, especially since I'd have a place to stay once I got there :)

Sounds like a good idea to me i would really like to meet all you guys and gals and i would be willing to drive 10 hours as long as i have place to stay. August sounds good as long as it is before school starts. I live in zanesville ohio(south of cleveland) which is about a 2.5 hour drive to cleveland. also if you make it in a more southern state like squee said that would be good also. But ultimatly it would be up to my dad since he would have to drive me there.

P.S thanks for the letting me know about this in advance that gives me about 7 months to persuade my dad and save some money. :p :p

I can swing about a 10 hour drive. That is not bad. So I can got from ny to fl and farther west.

10 to 12 hours sounds good to me. I live in central Georgia and a trip to NY sounds like fun. Never been there or most anywhere else, so it will be an adventure. It would be cool to see all the heavy hitters there

[Dafni]

Wow, I would love to join! Let me check some cheapo flights.
Might stay a dream, though. But 7 months in advance is nice, maybe I can arrange something.

WOW this would be great! imagine all the aluminum trucks! and high end brushless systems! if i win the lottery i'll come.

[Dafni]

I also considered the lottery ;)

lol we better start buying tickets every lottery. how about eveyone on the site donate $5 so that Dafni and i can buy lottery tickets and hopefully one of us can win and we'll pay for the other to come aswell lol.

I just got my suspicion confirmed how toublesome it is for a "foreigner" to enter the states :cry

It's also hard to find a cheap airline.
Has anybody any suggestions on a cheap airline? I'm looking for a connection switzerland-USA.

I guess fliyng to canada and hitchhiking to Mikes place is out of question :L:
I'll have to build a raft, then, and just row southwards.

[Sneeck]

That would be awesome for sure. Don't know if I like the idea of walking around w/ a 5k toy on an airport tho :eek:
