Let a brother get some sleep!!! :cry2: Way too early, I am burnt out right now, it's hard for me to even make it to local events, let alone post them up and plan them.............

And yes it was about 6 ~ 8 months of planning, and the last 3 months was just nuts. :gonk:

Yeah it started off kinda chilly in the morning and then got hot in the afternoon, ugh.

Maybe we can look at cooler month, but from some reason I remember this was the best time of year? maybe that lot is full during the cooler months or something? i don't really recall.

I would also the they help of my friendly neighbor Miata club Members (TampaBayMiatas) afc2112 does that mean you are willing to run parking lot duty again?

Yeah that sounds right, any other month is too hot, too rainy, too love buggy, maybe October would be a good month, mostly dry, somewhat cooler, and Thumper13 won't have to get dressed up for Halloween.

Planning meetings? I think we had something like 5? 3 in tampa, and 2 at the location

One of the problems with that idea is Randy has always wanted to have this event free to attend. I think we all agree with him. Having a space large enough to hold 400+ cars ,anywhere near there, for FREE to use,is not an easy task. He and I have searched for somewhere like this in the past but have yet to find a place that is not going to charge us $$$.

The big attraction of MATG and MiB is driving those great mountain roads and those events are certainly FAR from free. Just something to consider.

Words of wisdom here. I think I know of a place that we could possible use in the future too. But it located in Maitland FL. Right off I-4 and Maitland Blvd. I could also get food and BBQ arrange since the property has a full kitchen and BBQ pit. Outdoor and indoor seating. Plenty of parking to go along with.

Even if the event is cheap i mean how many of us hard parkers pay for a event? Lol this guy right here real soon lol. Well i mean for the amount of giveaway you did last year charging for the event will not only enhance the experience to a more upscale place but also take it to another level. The gifts were outrageous and don't think its a bad idea charging 10/15 dollars a car. Pre registration required and a separate registration that show up.

I honestly think we need to organize a larger scale for everyone to park.

Right, lets make the all FL meet, 6-10 hours away from the major population centers in the state. Come on man, for real?

Besides, to have true class it would have to be in Gainesville, not in Criminolehasse...

Oh wait, how about reaching out to "Grassroots Motorsports"? They are Daytona based, and they have connections with the drag strip in Gainesville...

By any chance, did you happen to see where this is posted? Let me give you a little hint: "Forum/LIFESTYLE, REGIONAL & EVENTSREGIONAL • United States/FLORIDA/Miatapalooza 2014.

Sure, everyone is welcome (even exiled ex-Floridians, or so I hear), but this event is geared towards FL.

MATG, is a very large event that draws people from all over, as you stated, and to a degree so does this event. But the primary focus for this are the FL Miata owners.

All good info, and actually the reason I changed the name from the old "All Florida Meet" to the new "Miatapalooza" was the intent to have a Miatapalooza event in other parts of the country, or to make it more friendly to all to attend here in Florida. We have been getting bigger and bigger each time we do this and more and more folks have come from places outside of Florida, so again that was the main reason for the name change. Plus the new name just sounds like more fun. :blaugh2:

Chin wanted 10K per day in advance, plus there is really NOTHING to do in the Sebring area, the onsite food was too pricey, and would never be able to handle 400 people, and Sebring is in the middle of nowhere ville. Both times we hosted it there the turnout was lack luster, less than 80 miatas, and it was free back then too!

I think they maybe understood that you wanted to hold an exlusive Chin event for Miatapalooza, which would make sense to the $10k per day rental fee. I was talking about scheduling Miatapalooza in conjunction with an already scheduled Chin event; either way, I believe we have discussed this a few years ago too.

The firm is a great lil track and their prices are good, BUT their paddock area will not accommodate the cars that will be there. 100 cars might exceed their capacity. Unless something has changed there in the last 12 months I don't think it will work.

Gainesville raceway might be a good idea. Very large piece of property and you could use their road course as a auto-cross and charge per lap. Might be a good idea to get the FAST guys involved if you wanted to do that.

If you want to do it at a track then you will be limited to Serbring, Daytona, Homestead, and maybe PBIR

If we made it at a track they will also require a rollbar, which would in turn make us loose more than half of the people attending, so I would tend to stay away from the track until we are a much bigger group.

OK Taco Bell works but a Dunkin Donuts will be a killer with several candy aisles.


You Chuckle Haid....Meets Meets,not your kind of meat,although you look damned good in that yellow sundress.

Back on point, while race tracks are really cool venues they are not practical if we want to stick with Phat's desire to always keep this meet free to attendees.

We'll just keep looking,we've only started last week. We're hoping by starting this early the planning stages get done sooner without the last minute strain on " HIS PHATNESS " and his small but faithful band of volunteers.

It will make a good fall back option but a change of venue might be welcome, maybe catch fellow Miataphiles from a different area of the Country. Just throwin this out as chum but how about the Panhandle or somewhere closer to Jax.


Then you make it a 6+ hour drive for south Florida. I-4 wether it is Tampa, Orlando, Daytona is probably your best bet. Panhandle guys....sorry you live in BFE.. Lets do it Daytona Beach! I'll bring my truck and charge $20/car to pull em out of the sand:whistling:

That would be East B.F.E.

Daytona Beach is always a great place, hmmmm MAYBE Rossmeyer MAY let us use their place even though we are a klan of 4 wheeled vehicles. I think I'll cruise up there Monday. I bet they may be happy, gives them a captive audience of over 400 people to browse their shop, maybe even buy a bike. Might make a good kicker in my proposal to them.
The one good thing ( silver lining ) about being unemployed is I currently have way too much free time and the wife is glad to give me gas money just to get me out of the house for a day.

If we made it at a track they will also require a rollbar, which would in turn make us loose more than half of the people attending, so I would tend to stay away from the track until we are a much bigger group.


Not if you made into a weekend event. Car show one day. Track day on the next. Plus having it as a two day event would make it even more worthwhile for those who travel longer distances.

Just a thought.


As a side note, how big is the place that hosts Episode M?

I would be down for a 2 day event. Granted, I have a rollbar but I would be traveling a few hours to get there. So making it a 2 day event with hardparking plus spirited driving would just make it even more awesome for us out-of-towners :lol:

On the assumption that they're actually putting something together. I'm guessing Task #1 would be finding a location big enough.

Task #1 is almost complete. I'm making arrangements to look at the spot this weekend and Thumper is tagging along too. Details to follow next week after the finding are reported back to our great leader PhatMiata

:worship:

As for the spot in question, it looks like we can fit somewhere around 340 car and have room to spare. They say up to 400 cars but with extra previsions (race teams), 350 won't be that hard of a number to fit in with room to grow a bit. There is also a church next door so overflow parking and non Miata can park over there.

Anyway,back to the point.....Little Rob ( SM abbreviation ) and I are going hunting for a place between Daytona and St Augustine for Miatapalooza tomorrow. You guys can figure out who is the dog and who is the pointless little kid. If all you out their in LaLa land have any suggestions for places to check out in that general vicinity please post away. Rob and I will be heading out from our CRIBS around 9:00 AM tomorrow morning.
