What would you like to see at the Big SoCal Euro GTG?

[bugzy]

Here's couple that I was thinking about

DC Shoes setting up a skateboarding exhibition
RC car racing
Soapbox (mini hotwheel size) racing

[joeandhisjetta]

model competition :boobies: always a good way to get more ppl out lol

[auditurbo84]

model competition :boobies: always a good way to get more ppl out lol

2ND!! :bump:

[bugzy]

SCE doesnt support that kind of thing, but if vendors or whatevers wants to bring beautiful women to the event, they are more than welcome

But we dont promote the exploitation of women

[ncttrnl]

model competition :boobies: always a good way to get more ppl out lol

I'm not so sure that's the image we want to have at our events.

Models are fine but the contests tend to be kinda sleazy. You have to keep in mind that we try to be family friendly. We know we aren't perfect but we try to make it a good event for the enthusiasts in training.

[Paul]

it's not soapbox, it's called pinewood derby..

I'm thinking for the toyo tire give-away, we'll have a competition to see who can jump their RC car the furthest on a pre-built ramp...

must be a 1:10 scale touring car chassis with no long travel modifications... ;) aka carnage!

That or r/c car demolition derby.... ;)

[GTiGirl]

How about a doggie competition!?!?!?!?! Better than a bikini competition...

How about a go kart track? At one of those Mazda "Rev it Up" events they had go karts for like 10 dollars...

SCE Dunk Tank? Another good way to raise $$$ for the cause... I'll even get in it - if the water is clean!

[GTiGirl]

Also, what about fastest pit competition? I've seen that before at like Dubfest or something in like 1999.

[Damon]

There's just something weird about the boob-flashing smiley. I don't know what it is, but it's creepy.

I feel like the RC car thing may be too exclusive (not everyone has one, etc.). Along the lines of skateboarding, maybe a stationary wave machine? Good food vendors (fish tacos, HOLLA!).

[idrivea2002golf]

how about a dyno? i don't know i think that would be fun. There's a group in Michigan called MIVE they had APR come to their big once a year gathering and they were giving chip reprograms for free (they had a time limit of 2 hours but still fun) you could buy the whole thing.

[Paul]

portable dynos are $$$$$$$$$

[MikekiM]

Dunktank would be cool idea. Buy $10 worth of raffles, and get a free throw, or something along those lines. Perfect for the weather!

[huitzi]

Wet Tshirt Contest :d!!!1

[bugzy]

Dunktank would be cool idea. Buy $10 worth of raffles, and get a free throw, or something along those lines. Perfect for the weather!
if we get the girls of SoCalEuro to get dunked, i think we could really get some $$ for our charity

[audiracer2002]

I don't think it would have to be just the girls. I'm sure plenty of people would want to dunk you! Oh, and Chris too!

[joeandhisjetta]

if we get the girls of SoCalEuro to get dunked, i think we could really get some $$ for our charity
lol didnt you just say that is something sce dosent support lol jk

i like rc car thing but i onlyhave a monster truck rc and its broken at the moment. lol

[ncttrnl]

Maybe we can get our vendors up there with a few free throws, in the non-prostitution sense, with purchase.

You just said no to a wet tshirt contest and then you post this... I swear I think you have split personalities sometimes. :rolleyes:

[bugzy]

You just said no to a wet tshirt contest and then you post this... I swear I think you have split personalities sometimes. :rolleyes:
along side some moderators ;)

[ncttrnl]

I'm diggin' this dunk tank idea the more I think about it.

We should have a couple polls and take the top people from each to get dunked. One with a bunch of nominated users and one with all mods and admins. This could be everyone's chance to get back at eachother.

[bugzy]

Ummm, im not getting dunked during the event, because there's no fricken way i can work the event wet

now, at the event of the event, or we could raffle off me in the dunk tank ;)

[ncttrnl]

there's no fricken way i can work the event wet


There's a joke in there somewhere. :ha:

Its gonna be crazy hot out. Everyone says they don't want to go in the dunk tank but the day of everyone wants in.

Just a tip... try to get in early in the day. You'll be wet when its hottest and the water won't be as nasty.

[jwill'sMK4]

Here's couple that I was thinking about

DC Shoes setting up a skateboarding exhibition
RC car racing
Soapbox (mini hotwheel size) racing

only if we can use the ramps after the exhibition

[ncttrnl]

Someone on Audiforums suggested a DJ booth

[GTiGirl]

I'm sure we will have plenty of people sign up to get dunked... I already volunteered to get in there. I'll just bring a change of clothes... If you need the hook up on one, I can probably get one through the base - just need to tow it down to the Q!

I say people can purchase a throw - maybe 3 for $5 for the charity!

[GTiGirl]

Ummm, im not getting dunked during the event, because there's no fricken way i can work the event wet

now, at the event of the event, or we could raffle off me in the dunk tank ;)

We could auction your dunk - highest bidder gets to dunk your tiny ass! At the end of the day after the raffle...

[addicted2thevr6]

dunk tank would be awesome

and i would live at the taco stand if we had one

[ncttrnl]

Rubios has a truck I think... I wonder how much they charge to have it out there though.

[anitx]

:tup2:-- Dunking booth! I nominate Ted. I guess I can go, too...

[jwill'sMK4]

x2 for ted

[Agent Orange]

:tup2:-- Dunking booth! I nominate Ted. I guess I can go, too...
Only cuz you already know nobody wants to see you in there ;)

But a dunktank is a good idea

[bengerman]

Wet Tshirt Contest :d!!!1
crazy ass beaner but fuck it im down i wana see that shit to

[Nefarious]

I'm sure we will have plenty of people sign up to get dunked... I already volunteered to get in there. I'll just bring a change of clothes... If you need the hook up on one, I can probably get one through the base - just need to tow it down to the Q!

I say people can purchase a throw - maybe 3 for $5 for the charity!

I'm diggin' the dunktank idea also.. And if you can get one from base I can tow it down. The only issue I see is filling it once it's set up.

Also, DJ booth is an easy one since CSL is local and we still know a ton of local dj's

[audiracer2002]

If we can get the generator, Eric (with the 5 series) has tables and speakers. I'm sure we could convince him to bring the equipment and then if we got a few people to contribute some different types of vinyl, then we could have all types of music.

I think we should make sure we have a food option.

[Paul]

generators can be rented for a couple hundred a day for something that can power what we need I think.

[RavinJetta]

I also like the dunk tank idea and agree with Rob on the food option.

[Bo0ger]

dodge ball tourney! :tup2:

[Paul]

oooh I have an idea... team event. Lets find and heavy beater... audi/vw. Setup a cone course, and the team has to push with a driver. fastest time wins something?

[bugzy]

dodge ball tourney! :tup2:
i say ping pong tourney !!

Balls of Fury is coming out in theatres soon ;)

[Nefarious]

How much space and which area of the Q parking lot do we have?

[ncttrnl]

How much space and which area of the Q parking lot do we have?

Dunno yet

This is just brainstorming anyway

[Paul]

i say ping pong tourney !!

Balls of Fury is coming out in theatres soon ;)

too much wind to play ping pong

[JETTAone420]

ahah i knew my name was gonna get thrown in somewhere...but yea i vote:
--take a poll top who ever gets dunked (including u lon!!) just give a heads up on if we are or not lol...that way i can hit the gym again...
--must have food vendors! (x2 on the fish tacos!!!)
--1/4miles with rc cars(of course it would only be like 100ft haha)..that way i can bring out my 2speed beemer! thats been sittin in my garage for ever!
--DC skate session would be awesome! i wanna meet rob dyrked

[IfYouSeeKay]

If you need a DJ or PA setup..whatever, hit me back. If its a day event, my Bro is a very popular OC D.J. and would work for cheap. OR If you want live entertainment, My band does covers. Could include it in the price.

[IfYouSeeKay]

oooh I have an idea... team event. Lets find and heavy beater... audi/vw. Setup a cone course, and the team has to push with a driver. fastest time wins something?
That sounds awesome. teams of 4 with a driver. Something light might create a bit more hilarity though.

[sdsilverm3]

FOOD vendors for sure. The food situation at Ventura was.....yeah. ;)

Does Fusion cater? :bump:

[bugzy]

Does Fusion cater? :bump:
they will ;)

[audiracer2002]

they will ;)

No offense, but Fusion would really have to know what they are getting into. They would have to be able to provide food for probably more than a thousand people on demand. It would probably be better to find a company that is used to doing this type of an event.

[Paul]

Kevin wouldn't be interested anyway. They aren't setup to cater like this. No portable hot plate/burners etc. It would have to be pre-ordered which won't work =\.

[ncttrnl]

They have portable taco stand guys that just stand there grilling and making street tacos all day long. I'm sure one of them would be willing to come out and sell Del Mar Fair style.

[bengerman]

That sounds like a great idea. :tup2:

[GTiGirl]

So.................

I've got a connection for a water tank. Is this something we are interested in? I might have to go exploit myself to be able to take it off base...

Things to consider:

Is the Q ok with the water tank?
What about WATER???

Let me know ASAP as I want to try to put the moves on for this soon...

[bugzy]

imma have to ask them directly

[JETTAone420]

hole in the wall taco vendors FTW!!!
ya'll might think there dirty and ish* but those are the best!!!

btw...what are those tacos called that use to corn tortillas and the shredded beef?? yea those pwndededed me i lov eem!

[xoutofstepx]

one of those big In-N-Out trucks!!! that would be d-lish. some autocross would be cool too.

[JETTAone420]

one of those big In-N-Out trucks!!! that would be d-lish. some autocross would be cool too.

bless your heart! i completely forgot about those1!!..we had those come every other week when i was in jr high...

[xoutofstepx]

hahah yeahhh junior high for sure. i think it would be a benefit for us and them.

[bugzy]

skateboard demo would be fun there are a bunch of companies in SD I can throw you the info on ....might be able to get a couple of local shops involved

Ill see if I can get any of the sponsors to the race team to pony up something - give me a few days to call people

How bout setting up a few gas grills and having a food booth going

I do drift sessions with the guys from Groovy Drift. I could ask em if you guys would be interested in seeing em out there. They can probably get Yokomo to donate some R/C cars for raffle prizes too.

[JETTAone420]

...can we all put signs by our cars with our usernames lol..theres still a few of u guys/gals on here i wanna meet

[daygoVR6]

that's be sweet idea

if we could get RC drift cars next to skateboarding exhibition ;) would be bad ass

The dirtier, the better! :tup2:

[84rabbitchick]

hell, if it's hot out, i'll go in the dunk tank... haha

as for the skateboarding thing... my lil bro's part of MV's 9 star team AND my cousins husband works for quicksilver, so i can prob ask both for any OTHER ideas or get some kids/pros to come in and show off their talent.

[xoutofstepx]

yeah some skate stuff would be cool. maybe if there is ramps people could skate :) . old school flatland contest???

[derrick]

The dirtier, the better! :tup2:

In for Carne Asada Tacos!

1) derrick

hey... alligator slip and slide? need a patch of grass though. :D

[jballou]

How about a car build up... Kinda of like what they do at Sema. Get a VW or something like that, and then throw C/O's on it and other goodies, letting people ask question as they go along.. I dunno--just a thought..

[GTi_01]

FOOD vendors for sure. The food situation at Ventura was.....yeah. ;)

i dont remember any food vendors at ventura.. :confused:

im down for a taco stand to be there w/ horchata FTMFW!!:tup:


*edit: i remember there being a big ass line for something (porter potties??) *

[bugzy]

there was 1 food booth at Ventura

which ummm we'll not talk about it

dictated by venue

[xoutofstepx]

i say people volunteer and make food from different places(mexican, italian, chinese, greek, etc.). kind of like a pot luck but the food would be made there. i dunno how this would happen though hah.

[GTi_01]

effin icecream man better be there too lon! :mad:

[g60racer]

How about something for the families with kids that are coming? Like an inflatable bouncy jumpy house?


meh on the DJ booth. Nothing worse than trying to carry on a conversation with your buddies you haven't seen since the last big GTG and some foo is blasting his idea of car show music at volumes rivaling a 747 at take-off.

[318daily]

DC Shoes setting up a skateboarding exhibition
RC car racing
Soapbox (mini hotwheel size) racing

All of these sounds pretty awesome, but I'd really be into a skate demo for sure.

I'd also like to see nobody fighting like at bfest :D

we'll keep the musicial noise to the center area for announcements and background fill

bouncing thingy might work, we'll see what our budget is

[jwill'sMK4]

will ther be an age limit to the bouncy thing :D

[GTi_01]

will ther be an age limit to the bouncy thing :D

maybe a weight limit.. :p

[IfYouSeeKay]

Have any Vendors been contacted to participate? ABD, Eurosport?

[xoutofstepx]

will ther be an age limit to the bouncy thing :D

I say we have one for kids and one for adults! Also, one of those sumo things would be fun/funny/hot.

If it is hot, a shade canopy with misters would be awesome!

[GTi_01]

SUPER SUMO! those things are awesome!

http://www.kingkastles.co.uk/castles/super_sumo_2.jpg

[Paul]

sweaty summer time... yeah no thanks.

[vr6gtiguy]

hey whats the dates for this GtG?? if someone totes out a grill im a pretty good bbq chef an would be down for grilling for people.

[your_blog_sucks]

I would like to see an oompa loompa dance team or...

some midget mud wrestling,

I have a fetish for that sort of thing!

jason

[ncttrnl]

Have any Vendors been contacted to participate? ABD, Eurosport?

Of course :p

[bugzy]

Eurosport Acc is most likely in

Brembo's in
Penske Audi is in
Borla sounds in

[vr6gtiguy]

Just a few thoughts on food.

There is a trolley stop at Qualcomm, so people that don't want to drive can just hop the trolley westbound and grab stuff.

If in/out privileges are allowed then there's lots of food closeby, so at the least maybe us locals can put together a google earth map for non-locals and have it available.

Perhaps try to sell the event to local food vendors that may have a mobile setup? If possible, here's a few that come to mind. This is just brainstorming, so I don't even know if it's feasable.

- In and Out mobile burger truck
- L&L Hawaiian Barbecue
- Chipotle
- order a bunch of pizza and sell per slice

Again, I don't know if these places charge just to show up but since they'll be making money off their food maybe try to sell the idea that this GTG draws a big crowd and let them decide if it's worth it or not to show.

anyway, that's my 2:30am braindump. I'm gonna go watch some DVR'ed shows.

[chance 1.8t]

i say and astrojump and some face painting

[chance 1.8t]

damn it i should really read the previous posts before trying to be funny if u were serious lon about the dc skate demo i might be able to help out trying to get that going i know some of there reps

[bugzy]

hook it up

[chance 1.8t]

ight ill hit up dc tomorrow at work and see what he can do

[bugzy]

sounds good

[sdsilverm3]

Since this is in the Q's parking lot....

Typical tailgating activities are allowed, yes?

[ncttrnl]

Since this is in the Q's parking lot....

Typical tailgating activities are allowed, yes?

Non-alcoholic activities are fine.

Depending on the number of cars, things like portable BBQs may be limited by space. I don't think the venue has a problem with it so its a judgment call. Some people aren't ready to trade in new car smell for carne asada smell.

[Tom (aka Godzilla)]

I like the bouncy house for the kids. You can usually find them for $100 to $150 bucks delivered, setup, and picked up.

Since it's going to be hot, we should have seperate food and drink vendors (Palomar Water?).

If there's a water spigot available, I could build a walkthrough mister that we could setup to keep people cool.

I like the demo ideas, skate, bmx, r/c cars, whatever.

[fehmi_mk5]

Burn out contest would be sooooo wack....

[JETTAone420]

carls jr also has a mobile truck!...i saw one yesterday gettin crunk at a business office haha.

[joeandhisjetta]

ill ask my manager about the in n out truck if you want, (cause i work at INO) cause i think if we have enough people there they come out and we just have to provide a spot for them to set up, so we dont need to pay anything for it, ill ask about how many people need to be there for that. cause common who dosent love in n out

[Streamline]

If my cheap'ass old school would bring in-n-out to use once a month, I think the price isn't too bad.

[mobbin6]

We should have the DC skate demo with Rob and Big... and Rob could bring his 996T for the show :D
