ggreen Posted July 1, 2009 Report Share Posted July 1, 2009 Ok. well ive had alot of guys well not a ton but enough say they would like to get together sometime so i figure ill try and get the ball rolling. i am pretty new to the valley so input would be great on a place i figure we could reserve one of the picnic areas at a park around the city, anything other than a parking lot lol. as for the plans a rough draft of ideas i have, meet and greet around lunch time and have a potluck style bbq, burgers, chips, soda, beer if your not planning on driving too soon no need for tent city. any way durring the meet and greet i figure we would also do a kind of show and shine. so that would take place from 11am till around 1 ish followed by a cruise to somewhere cool so we can get some good photos on the road. we could also reverse it meet up around 3 or 4 pm then cruise off to somewhere for a drink and a meet and greet. ok well ill get some places or parks scoped out and my camera is def ready to go so who else is down for a great time and getting to know some other datsun guys around the valley. i really hope this takes off even if its just 2 or 3 cars we can make it grow. lol itll be hot datsun nights/days :D get your ideas on here im thinking that next weekend im down for the first installment of the meets.

yellowdatsun Posted July 1, 2009 Report Share Posted July 1, 2009 Let's do this as the first meet for the new Desert Datsuns club. I have a list of ~47 people, so I'd be happy if even 1/5 of them showed up. I was going to wait till the end of summer to really get things going with the club, because most of us don't have a/c in our cars......and it's hard to get the guys to come out when it's 110 degrees outside. I'd wait on the drive portion for a few months, and then maybe we could run up to Canyon Lake, that's a good drive, and not far. I like the BBQ idea at a park, but would also suggest the Cars&Coffee at Bondurant at 7am on the second saturdays of the month, or a late afternoon/evening meet somewhere. Also gotta pick which side of town. The west side guys have been voicing they want to do something. There's a bunch in the Mesa area, but none in the northeast area. Maybe even a thing at Tom's shop? Plenty of parking there, and somewhat central for the west side. Quote Link to comment
AZhitman Posted July 1, 2009 Report Share Posted July 1, 2009 If we do the west side, I'll have 3 classics there. I'll need someone to drive one of them for me, but I'll be there. :) I agree that we need to wait until it's cooler tho - 110 degrees in a 63 Datsun and I'll be a blabberin' idiot by the time I get there.

yellowdatsun Posted July 4, 2009 Report Share Posted July 4, 2009 The 91st ave and Northern thing seemed to be a decent spot. Much more parking than the 83rd ave and Union Hills. The 83rd show tends to run out of space almost all the time, so if we did it at 91st we'd have a better chance of parking in a group. Quote Link to comment

Man I really liked that place and I think the park as a group thing would work really well there . I regret not bringing my pos 620 but me and my 620 will be there with bells on this coming Friday:D Quote Link to comment
AZhitman Posted July 5, 2009 Report Share Posted July 5, 2009 Sounds good. I'll bring out the NL320 and my WRL411. Quote Link to comment
yellowdatsun Posted July 5, 2009 Report Share Posted July 5, 2009 Ok, I'll post to the rest of the local guys about meeting next friday. If we use this spot on a regular basis, I may not be able to make all the meets. I travel for work, and sometimes don't get back until later on fridays. We'll probably still need to do something on the east side as well, since it's a haul for the guys in Mesa. There's also the actual cruise night on Mesa's main street, the second friday of each month. Very cool to watch and hear the cars rumble down the street. Quote Link to comment

Yeah I can go to the east side when it cools off or I do my a/c for now tho I got to stay out west . I do want to meet all the locals and the only way to be fair about it is to attend meets over younder Quote Link to comment

yellowdatsun Posted July 6, 2009 Report Share Posted July 6, 2009 Yep, I used to have an 85 720 with the Z24. Never could get it to run right, but it ran forever. So is your truck even drivable enough to bring it friday night? Quote Link to comment
